Yeah I wish lol. She’s just a crook, check her wikipedia out

America isn’t a democracy

Hopefully the People get a say in the government soon

If it’s not a democracy, and you don’t plan on overthrowing D.C, how is that supposed to happen?

Pardon the snark but it kind of sounds like you want your cake and eat it too; either it is a democracy, and the people will get a say, and thus USians are collectively responsible for their government action, or it’s not a democracy and the people won’t have a say in the government

from my (perhaps limited) perspective, it does seem that the people are indeed getting a say, and a lot of people are very happy with the current US admin (and a lot also are not, but not enough to have any decent policy, and keep in mind that I’m not singling out Trump from his predecessors who also were warmongers)

Well duh, the 10 points included control of hormuz, and they have schools and power plants to rebuild.

Lol her wikipedia article lists a history of corruption from oil companies

Unless the US comes out and denies it, there is no reason to doubt it. They’re boastful enough not to let Iran claim total victory

Huge W.

Anything that puts the US farther away from being able to terrorize the world (like they did with Iran, Venezuela, Cuba, Iraq, Afghanistan and so many more) is a win for Humanity.

These kinds of situations are inevitable in capitalism

The ceasefire is between the US and Iran no? There is no reason for Israel to stop

Will it even need to engage itself, when it has a nation rabid to destroy the whole region that will gladly accept the US’ guns?

Damn, maybe Germany would benefit not to align itself with the empire then huh

I disagree, yellow paint is pure laziness. Games can still rely on lighting and other environmental guidance, but they just chuck paint everywhere instead of thinking their level design & environments correctly.

Elden ring is a great example of that, constantly placing environmental clues everywhere to attract your eye without needing any objective markers or other cheap tricks

Remind me of the consequences when they killed 160+ schoolgirls on the first day of their attack?

Not updated but it still works fine

Some stuff that you can use are

• AdNauseam, visually blocks ads but under the hood clicks on them, nuking the usefulness of ad trackers
• TrackMeNot, spams queries on search engines, clicks some links here and there, all in the background. Works perfectly with AdNauseam, nuking both ad & search profiling

Then there is this experimental (HARPO: Learning to Subvert Online Behavioral Advertising) paper on using ML to obfuscate online tracking, it’s a research paper so my understanding is limited to the excerpt 😅 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2111.05792

Could be done on another device though, a computer could pretend to be your phone and start sending tons of useless data maybe? I don’t know how feasible it is.

You’d have to automate the retrieval of IDs for each data harvesting platform (including web based cookies to be feature complete) and manage to send the properly formatted data on each platform.

Funnily enough though, the kind of fuzzy data generation that just looks plausible enough could be a great usecase for LLMs

Nah, a reverse faraday cage, something that would make telemetry useless by flooding it with trash. We can try all we can not to be spied on, but it’s an uphill battle. If we start being so noisy that they’d have to sift through tons of crap to maybe perhaps get a tiny speck of useful data, it won’t economically make sense to continue harvesting the data.

It’s one of the things I do with a combo of trackmenot + adnauseam, spam web search & click websites and all their ads automatically while I use my computer. Good luck profiling me correctly

Yeah it’s the program, ~ is not an issue in filenames, Vim even uses it as a character in the temp file it creates when editing a file. Is a VM something that could work for that specific usecase? I know I have one just to upddate my logitech devices

Why is nobody thinking about the poor lil wannabe-brown-people-killer 😭

Look, I get that, nobody wants bloodshed for bloodshed’s sake. But this is war, they are being attacked, there are troops massing near them while they’re getting bombed. Either they get brutally murdered, or they defend themselves. That or the US retreats; I think we both know that’s not happening.

The conclusion seems fairly simple to me.

And tbf I’m not particularly giving much worth to those who follow orders on the US & israeli side. They made their bed, they lie in it. You can’t expect to go and kill brown people for decades, sign up to be the next generation of that machine, and come out unscathed.

You really ought to rethink your angle. Beyond “whataboutism” which is a useful tool to avoid any self reflection, do you really think we should first pay attention to protests, while Iran is getting bombed, i.e. every Iranian, including protesters, is in grave danger of death?

You’re telling us we should disregard deadly danger to all Iranians and instead pay attention to some danger to some Iranians?

To wrap this up, YOU are asking “what about the protests”; nothing in this post is about the protests. YOU are guilty of that nonsensical “whataboutism” pseudo-fallacy.

Edit: Less personal attacks (sorry)
