Then you’re supporting diminished privacy.

Totally. You should assume yours is being tracked if they’re not asking for verification.

I just loaded up a Linux vm with Brave, and tried to sign up in a tor window. It requires a verification email to sign up.

Maybe you’re using a browser or OS that it’s tracking.

Try it now. Load up a tor tab in the Brave browser, and try signing up for an email without providing any info.

No shit, Sherlock.

Nope. Try doing it through a Tor node.

Too bad private email access is essentially dead. Any service not requiring another email or phone number to sign up gets quickly shut down. A casualty in the war on whistleblowers.

I’m pretty certain my country banned Kaspersky because they kept outing western backdoors and malware. And I would bet my life that Windows has supported free use government backdoors since at least Windows 10.

It was the right move, but this needs to be expanded. Assume there are state actors from all of the major countries installing backdoors.

The digital war front will be getting hit from all sides. We need extreme paranoia to protect all of the innocent bystanders. Don’t assume even your own country is trustworthy in this.

Wow. You guys got lucky. All the users I supported with them had constant issues.

I’m seriously shocked your surface is still running. I’ve never seen one last more than a year, and they usually required a lot of troubleshooting to keep them going that long.

I’m just saying it seems like a more obtainable ask.

Why not just a case with a slide out Bluetooth keyboard in the back?

They’re still banning or driving away anyone outside of Musk’s echo chamber.

The vast majority of users are not big time contributors to the site’s quality content. But the content creators had the biggest targets on their back for retaliation. After so many bans over such a long period, there’s just less and less people to post quality content for the majority to consume.

Cracking down on narrative control doesn’t force the public to see things your way. It just drives them to other, more relevant platforms. Not sure how many times we need to go through this cycle for them to understand how futile this is.

Worker owned co-op with CEO duties coordinated by an AI.

Maybe. Or companies that are AI ran will outcompete the existing ones.

Billionaires also fall into the Gartner hype cycle. And convincing a billionaire there’s an opportunity to automate workers out of a job is a quick way to get an injection of cash.

It’s going to be generations before we are actually able to automate most labor. But long, long before that AI will be capable enough to replace overpaid CEO’s.

That’s like saying ‘I would be a great candy store clerk, because I love eating sugary snacks.’ Eventually you end up sick or diabetic.

The human brain can only handle so much. While we all have different tolerance levels, we still have a breaking point. We’re just primates, after all.

I’m convinced they’re already collecting data for it. I can’t think of any other reason for the massive drop in system performance on Windows 11.
