Well, it’s easy to set up and consisyently passes Mullvad’s leak test. The again, yesterday Google(*) insisted in believing I was in Iran (not the selected exit node)…

Guess I’ve, involuntarily, been drafted to the Iranian cyber command.

(*) I was fidgeting around with running Chrome through a KASM server.

Gay: didn’t wish for a blowjob, fake: she probably thinks of him too.

thank you for condoning — nay, endorsing — my prolific editing of animal porn and crypto blog spam <3

Things people miss:

• IT not yelling at you for going rogue and UNINSTALLING EVERYTHING
• Being able to access company resources
• Having a job

If their Windows machine is company issued, that is.

Sounds more like an admission that there is something that needs jailbreaking in the first place

These link only clickbait posts irk me a little. First of all, I’m not going to take the bait. Second, I’m not going to use your ”privacy tool” without understanding it’s upside and having a tentative grasp of what it does and what data it uses. Third, I’m not convinced there are any best practices, privacy-wise, for using blatantly statesponsored Chinese spyware or that there’s any helping you if you’re still on X.

That old one hit wonder

Well, it’s not uncommon in some countries with perpetual loans for individuals, so sure!

It’s usually a matter of agreeing the right interest and offering the right security. You will get a worse deal than Google.

This is some true believer shit.

Google launched less than thirty years ago.

At the current rate of deterioration, it’s not exactly certain to what extent the planet will be able to sustain human life, much less whether a much loathed spyware company will still be around to pay the bills.

Yeah, as ridiculous as the record labels are – their reaction is exactly what one would expect after such a high profile move.

The galaxy brain move is buying an old dumb tv for a pittance and use it for watching Jellyfin/Plex/stream from a browser with uBlock Origin/DNS filtering – all running on some relative’s “obsolete” smart toaster from last year that they happily gift you because “the new version’s bagel mode IS LIT – pun intended – but it needs the 128 gb DDR7 ram of the new model, can barely toast on the old one any more”.

Thanks for the link, hadn’t heard about that project, the list of target features looks very promising

But they all suck, or rather the Internet kinda sucks these days. Google very much included in the sucking.

In Google Search’s prime DDG was still terrible and not a viable competitor even with the privacy advantage. Now both services are almost comparable, so it’s kind of a no-brainer to ditch Google.

Yeah, search has degraded along with the Internet, you almost need an LLM now to filter out all the garbage hits. For a while, adding “reddit” to your search term was an OK high level filter to remove blogspam and e-commerce sites, but interacting with reddit is so annoying now that it’s barely an option and many of the quality reddit posters have moved on while the state and corporate astroturfers are running the show. Never mind that the “reddit filter” also removed results from much better sources, like specialist forums.

Then again, people with nefarious purposes are usually highly motivated.

What does Mozilla doubling down on AI and becoming less appealing to core users mean for Firefox forks going forward? How independent of Mozilla are the biggest ones in practice?

I thought Anon meant movies that people say they liked because of their undeniable, objective quality, but not genuinely enjoyed watching. I guess they’re saying There Will Be Blood is some kinda masturbatory “quality porn”.

The problem is that it isn’t clear what kinds of exposure private credit and other actors in the shadow banking space hold, because they generally operate on a model of financial obfuscation to get around banking regulation (i.e. being actual banks). What is known is that they are deeply intertwined with financing the AI bubble, even if all their exposure is through debt instruments, crypto schemes or insurance contracts (that probably is not the full scope though), they will be hit hard when their “borrowers” can’t pay back.

And possibly the most parts of shadow banking, i.e the alt accounts of major financial institutions.

Fun times ahead!
