That last point is why I still can’t switch. My favourite game is shit on amd/ATI.

“stealth house”

I don’t know why people don’t use crypto or one time cards for this kind of purchase. You pay for anonymity, you pay for it anonymously.

Maybe I should clarify - I’m not a fan of human noise (there’s probably a more precise term) - I’m more in favour of privacy/anonymity in the midst of actual, randomized noise, that isn’t just random human activity.

I don’t even mean t shirts with a logo. It could’ve been a pair of jeans on a specific date at a place in conjunction with 5 other (random obfuscated) things that a poi also happened to do. Like googled ‘how to fold a swan’ or whatever.

Even if you didn’t do these things but was instead random generated traffic, it would generate unnecessary attention.

One might argue that if enough people adopted such methods, authorities would have too many leads to follow up. But then again, the chances of a random string of generated activity coinciding with that of a poi isn’t high, so there likely will be a manageable number of leads.

Even if the number were higher, they have proven to have no qualms about skipping due process. As long as they might’ve gotten the actual poi, they have no problems subjecting many more unrelated to the same treatment because everyone is some sort of terrorist now.

They could also arrest you just because you have higher than normal randomized traffic and activity that you can’t or won’t answer for.

“Why did you search how to fix a sink leak and then how to fold a parachute within 2 minutes of each other?? You must be a terrorist generating random activity to hide your true actions. What do you have to hide?” - “found coke stuffed in all the couches and beds boss”

Wdym until February?

I’m actually not in favour of obfuscation methods, as recent events have shown - authorities questioning a dude for wearing the same innocuous shirt?

Random traffic might turn out to be ‘traffic of interest’ for just being the at the wrong place, wrong time. I would prefer actual strong cryptography

Could you point me to one that overwrites my old posts?

Hm. Mullvad is looking better. Will look up these guys more.

I’ve also heard that it’s like a pilot job, the hardest part being the beginning and the end. During routine surgeries, they have fuck all to do, so might as well fuck I guess? /Shrug

Mask and sunglasses? Then put random things in your shoe everyday to change your gait?

Perhaps you have a ‘leak’ in your isolation methods. Might also be happening to me but I so rarely use YouTube (signed in or otherwise) I can’t see m share relevant experiences.

So YouTube/Google has somehow linked your personal phone activity to your YouTube at work even though work YouTube has no sign in?

This blur persists past digital (automatic) post processing? Or is otherwise still uniquely traceable?

Are you using the same account for youtube on your work and phone?

So what messaging platform is actually serious about security per the points you have described?

“privacy? Yeah whatever, they just use it to catch bad people right? I have nothing to hide. I don’t have the time to learn all this VPN stuff. Don’t forget to like my posts!”

Time for everyone to lift from there I guess?

Has anyone else already read the whole thing and could save us a little time?

Usa is just after China in terms of population. Yes China is a little over 4x as populous, but USA GDP is easily 6x that of china (per capita).

Oh man this takes me back. ran seti@home for the better part of a decade.
