  • Feta and watermelon

    Cantelope and prosciutto

    Anchovies in Ranch dressing (make it fresh, you animals)

    Goldschlager and Cuervo Gold tequila as a shaken shot (tastes like snickerdoodles)

    Pancakes topped with yogurt and honey or pistachio butter

    Georgian pesto is walnuts and cilantro, 10/10

    Peanut butter in a tomato stew sends it in an African direction, and it’s amazing

    Deep fried olives filled with cheese

    Salmon marinated in bourbon, touch of soy sauce, and brown sugar, baked.

    Anchovies and capers on your pizza if you wear big boy pants

    Red wine and coca cola if you’re 14

    Candied pine cones and creme brulé is 1 million percent magic

    Cheez-its and canned whipped cream tastes exactly like if you asked ChatGPT to describe what cheesecake tastes like.

    Well, to be fair it’s also proof that people do not value privacy, and that the means by which actual privacy can be obtained are few and narrow.

    It also really drives home the fact that our systems of IDs, licensure, taxes, property purchase, etc. are designed for an analog 20th century world. We need new systems based on modern technology, bit not in a way that simply contracts out to the very companies that put us here.

    I’ve done OSINT research and that alone converted me into a privacy advocate. Seeing how Alphabet, Meta, and MS have allowed creep to get training data… Whew. It’s breathtaking and complicated beyond the ability to explain in 114 characters.

    Y’all, we are cooked. Currently. Present tense. If you aren’t freaked out already, you’re missing about 85% of reality.


  • It was such a good troll at first. I heard the episode of Art Bell when the first fax came in… Just enough detail to lead people on, not too much to be disproven immediately.

    After a few posts online it all got just…wobbly, and that’s when he stopped posting. Which was a good call on his part. The fact that nothing from that timeline ever got close to happening left him years of doubt, but by now…


  • It’s been a topic of conferences, books, podcasts, and new laws for almost a decade. They have it all in plain sight. Lol, made it up.

    Curtis Yarvin has his Butterfly Revolution, which Thiel is all in about. Therefore Musk as well. Of the five pillars of Yarvin’s guide to authoritarianism, the EO about forcing university accreditation to heel is the last one needed to hit them all. Well documented, and the Nerd Reich had a post recently about how Yarvin is mad at how incompetent Trump and Musk are because they’re literally not gasing people to death by now.

    A guy named Balaji wrote a book called the Network State that outlines the government that should replace democraticly electing people. Also a podcast, also conferences with folks like the creator of Etherium backing it. He’s been pushing countries to recognize DAOs as legal entities. Wyoming is on board, and Palau and the Marshall Islands have also been receptive as nation level test cases. Network city-states are in the mix as well.

    This is the stuff that makes Project 2025 look like quaint kids’ games. However, where they both agree is the idea of repealing the social gains of the 20th century. Civil rights, women’s rights, gone. The goal is techno-fascist fifedoms built around crypto and AI, like Thiel’s investment in Praxis, where broligarchs don’t just have money, they control the force and violence of the state, which is something that money can’t just buy.


  • Y’all, one of the far-reaching Broligarchy ideas they’re hoping emerges from the ashes of the United States is the DAO, decentralized autonomous organization.

    Every action in the block chain. They facilitate, and are predicated on, the idea of treating every aspect of life as a social network. Everything you do is recorded. So daily life ends up incentived toward constant, persistent, corralled engagement. The Network State is the term.

    The difference is that you can’t build a society on the mechanics of the tobacco industry. But you can on a human reaction industry.






  • Of course, and I’m saying that while turning JS on for Bob’s website is maybe acceptable, leaving it turned off for gstatic, googleadmamager, etc. also on Bob’s website is easier than the other way around. Layers of defense. Don’t count on canvas blocker.

    Though this is just for what you want to obscure. It doesn’t make any sense to openly interact with Google or Meta products with all this going on. Use for your socials, anything tied to your name or face, regular vanilla FF with containers for safety. Let G associate that IP/geography and fingerprint with what you HAVE to do publicly visible. Then you close FF, change VPN locations, and open private mode Librewolf. It’s full plausible deniability. Or use TOR, same same.

    Convenience and security are a trade off. Find the balance that works for you based on your threat model. It’s different for everyone.


  • hansolo@lemm.eetoPrivacy@lemmy.mlHow can we avoid fingerprinting?

    You can. Librewolf with canvas blocker, turned on in settings, Chameleon, and uBlock and/or(?) JS blocker like NoScript. Edit.

    Canvas blocker and a JS blocker limits a lot of what Google can see and fingerprint per page. And you’ll be shocked at first how many pages have google trackers that a JS blocker kills. It’s easier to turn things on one at a time than claw back data once it’s out of your hands.

    Chameleon spoofs a lot of other details, like browser, system time, languages, headers, etc. So for what can be seen, it’s always changing and harder to corroborate. This plus moving VPN locations is what is needed.

    Also, TOR does the job, but not the most fun internet experience.
