Mr. WorldWide

I fucking hate it when people say that. You can’t choose how you feel

swap proxies I have this problem from time to time with mullvad.

Depends on the online store I guess, regardless, refunding the money always takes WAY longer

You: buys a digital thing from an online store

Store: takes your money right away with no waiting time

You: Decide you don’t want it anymore, too expensive to renew

Store: okay, you’ll get your money back in 5 to 10 business days

Things that are in every threat model include, but are not limited to.

Surveillance from your internet provider and advertising companies its partnered with.

Surveillance from advertising companies partnered with websites you go to and online services you use.

People online who might try to doxx you if you say something they don’t like or win too much in a game

The owner of a malicious website getting your IP address from visiting it by accident.

If your internet provider or anyone else gives you the third degree about using a VPN or any other privacy-friendly alternatives to anything, just say all but the first one

oh and be mindful of internet providers using AI to find patterns in the packets you’re sending and receiving

I don’t know if they even have something that advanced whichever one sees it first just signals to the others “HEY! BIG FOOD! BRING IT TO NEST!” with urgency and then the others repeat the signal until all the gatherers start getting it then they all signal to go back to the nest with it.

Fortunately, human beings have individuality and independent thought. Embrace that, use your brain to think critically about everything you see and hear. The billionaires think of us like we’re ants, cogs in a machine, brainless drones that believe everything we’re told. Don’t be the way they want us to be

“American” football? So Not soccer?

You can encrypt a radio.

Yes, but that requires you and the one(s) you’re communicating with to mod some radios and then to keep those radios secret, which won’t be easy once you start using them, especially in a situation like that where the government would probably be scanning those frequencies for exactly that

scratch telegram off that list, but Session messenger there instead.

Telegram isn’t private, one guy has the master key to the whole thing

wouldn’t a cheap walkie-talkie be more practical in that situation?

That’s not secure or encrypted

yes, a lot of people were using those kinds of apps during the free hong kong protests, they go from device-to-device with no internet in between.

No idea what the app is called, but apps like those exist

there’s no benefit to any common man.

There’s only benefit to the advertising companies and governments around the world.

It’s a little something called “total information awareness” they want to know who everyone is and what they’re doing at every second of every day

Yeah, tell him all the ways that would be dangerous.

You won’t stop any crime or even any hurt feelings by doing that. You’re only going to punish people who are following the law.

Criminals can fake their details

I don’t get this one

fucking Christ I hated word problems when I was going to school. This post brought back a lot of bad memories from when I was going to school

God damnit, now I want to try that

That’s a shitty flashlight

I thought vodka was made with potatoes.

time to look up some alternatives.

VLC’s UI on windows hasn’t changed much in over 10 years now. It definitely would benefit from a search function to quickly find certain settings to fine tune your expirience with it. But I sandbox all of my software, so no cache files or data it writes onto the drive I make it write to ever sticks around for very long.

Any time I need to open a link from a friend I copypaste the link into a sandboxed browser that doesn’t have access to any of the shit going on in the other sandboxes instead of opening it rawdog into that same sandbox.
