I think the nsa is not going to cast doubts over tor by leaking information from normal people or small fry criminals like pirates. and if you’re a dissident from a different country than usa, it’s probably also fine. I’m a lot more worried about the vpns that pay or own vpn review sites or have ties to surveillance companies

1. yes
2. the same, but probably to an even more unknown IP that is also changing frequently. the content itself should look equally random

🪟: absolutely atrocious. let’s do for-profit low quality software instead 😡

ignorance = strength 😂

😳 oh no a wrongful thought. maybe we can get him back to the right view if we give him more ai

this man’s face looks like about to emit a nasal laughter while he plugs a ring camera into a UPS, singlehandedly putting humanity’s most secured military zones to shame

respectable level of hoarding 🏅

My anxiety about giving my ID stems from this dissimilarity with real life: If i go to a career fair, i might need to show a ticket but often there’s no need to show anything. This is a career site so their request for data should be at the same level. However they request as much data as an airport, which has much higher requirements to achieve passenger safety.

I guess if they don’t fight bots their platform will suffer a lot. But if the ID check is there for this reason, they didn’t have to make me pass 30 captchas… I guess the hoops that you have to go through online are just becoming a bit much for my taste.

Thanks for reaching out though, I’ll reconsider my stance. I’ll also check what a professional association is and which one fits me 😄

fair point. my hobbies aren’t expensive either so i could live a modest life.

however I wouldn’t consider my anxiety as relating to a threat model - it’s more like this: if i go to a career fair, i might need to show a ticket but often there’s no need to show anything. this is a career site so their request for data should be at the same level. however they request as much data as an airport, which has much higher requirements to achieve passenger safety. i really hate that internet users are just fine with these invasive data requirements these days

Thanks for the advice, so far I tried to not use contacts for this but it might be a bit idealistic and unworkable in a time where online platforms are filled with bots and real people are not easy to find 👍

thanks for the tip, also good to hear you’re successful with your own style ☺️

14 eyes is bullshit and this is also bullshit, yet the populations in Europe stare indifferently like cattle on a farm and do not contest it. it’s especially laughable considering the recent push for “sovereignty” in many states…

i feel saddened that people focus entirely on hindsight but take the current situation as inevitable result of the past, and regard it as unchangeable.

no, this does not have to be treated like any other capitalist asset. if there’s a shred of belief that the privacy and dignity of us humans matters to us now in 2025, just get together and disown 23andme, nuke the data, and turn the page.

unfortunately we have to stick harder to the principle of capitalism than any crusader in the middle ages had to stick to the Bible… helpless powerful species

it’s a good os. on the other hand everytime i learned anything in windows it would get invalidated by new ux and new bugs…

there are no settings for all the shit, just some of it, that Microsoft is permitting to switch off. you therefore just have a half-still-shit-on system. that’s totally fine, i don’t expect anyone to invest time into anything. we ain’t got much to start with. but no one using windows is really in control

this meme is especially true for students and the likes 😂 whenever you share a one-room flat with a laptop made by clueless techbros for clueless techbros, the increased fan whirring really shines.
