There was a Karl Marx anime, so anime Karl Marx 👀

A lot of conspiracy theories reference Hermeticism blindly. One example is Flat Earthism, they use a lot of Hermetic concepts of the firmament to describe why the world is flat. Hermeticism is fundamentally the progenitor of modern astrology, alchemy, ‘witchcraft’ and so on.

Like the other commenter said, hermeticism relies on the belief there is an “unknown” reality that can be unveiled. This was a core tenet of ancient Greek religion and explains their tendency to practice divination, in a way a lot of modern woo-woo stuff is directly lifted off of a bastardization of ancient Greek religion. Its very interesting to do a meta study of conspiracies, people are tapping into shit they have no clue about and are rethinking thoughts and ideas made 3000 years ago by a drugged out woman in a cave filled with lead. Hermeticism was also a very popular system of gnostic beliefs during the medieval era, quite a lot of Arab philosophers for example believed in a variety of gnostic religions, e.g. Sabianism which is referenced in the Quran as being ‘people of the book’, a group of people along with Christians and Jews that should not be harmed but taxed.

As Marx said, “The tradition of all dead generations weighs like a nightmare on the brains of the living.”

Hermeticism is the origin of most conspiracy theories if you dig deep enough. Truly the OG brainworm

I’ve actually tested doing addons to the browser and keeping permanence, and I found it good for my use cases and my specific add-ons (add-ons that do not access DOM). Most major sites don’t have the tech to actually fingerprint it that way. Yes, it does harm the potential fingerprinting, but if you are careful and make it so that private browsing mode basically resets it to default, you can turn it on when you need to. The biggest issue is turning cookies on imo.

Of course, only do this if you know what you’re doing, know your requirements, and know the ins and outs of how fingerprinting on particular sites work. Its perfectly reasonable to main mullvad browser with its baseline setup.

Yeah Mull is a different project. Mullvad browser is better than Mull (now Ironfox) tho lol.

Yeah it’s not really suitable as a daily driver. Mullvad is imo

Mullvad browser and Tor browser are the only serious options for privacy on the internet. Librewolf, cromite, Firefox, brave, etc will get you fingerprinted. If you care about security more than privacy, use a chromium based browser. Personally, I use Mullvad browser with Vpn (use only protonvpn, mullvad, or ivpn, they have had security and legal tests) it’s the best combo of fast and private.

For mobile, the options are more limited. Ironfox, Cromite, and Vanadium (GrapheneOs) are the best bets for daily use. Tor Browser is the only one that actually stops fingerprinting however, but it is difficult to recommend it as a daily driver, it’s more of a tool.

My story is kind of boring, I apparently become very charismatic when crossfaded. I just had an amicable mutual breakup I was very sad about and somehow I convinced every girl in this pretty big college party to cuddle me and let me half-sleep on their thighs (these are people I barely know). So like imagine a long couch and me half-sleeping on 6 girls’ laps. Everyone knows I’m a lesbo and I was in heaven there for a bit cause there was a lot of skin on skin contact

This is a bit embarrassing to me but obviously is very tame.

So high you become a cat

For gaming I’ve had zero issues on bazzite, comes ready out of the box.

Its worth it to check https://www.protondb.com/ to see if the game you like works.

Personally for coding, I think Fedora Atomic is pretty up there because they make it easy to containerize everything. Universal blue has an atomic spin called Bluefin specifically designed for devs

I don’t really consider brave to be in the running due to the advertising they have built into the browser

They’re the same people you would have seen hanging out in /r/The_Donald or 4Chan ten years ago, who only leave their cave to stir up crap, spread disinformation, and brigade others, only now they’re cosplaying as leftists on a new platform.

Is this AI generated? Hexbear was around before the Lemmy fediverse even existed. They were on a forked version of Lemmy without acitivitypub for the longest time. If their sole desire was to brigade, isolating themselves doesn’t seem the way to go. Also, they were the first large Lemmy community so who is really brigading, the new people from Reddit or them?

We also know where they were close to 10 years ago it was /r/chapotraphouse lmao

Also, about half their community is trans. Do you really think so many trans people are Trump fans?

I want to be a billionaire with a large dick.

Elon, is that you?

I know for a fact that they’ve housed many trans people. They also had a shipment of grain with with their logo on it in Gaza. Pretty dope.

Even if you do change its fingerprint, I’d argue its still better than most privacy configured versions of Firefox. What you should be careful to do is only change things that can be reverted by going into incognito mode if you seek to daily drive this browser.

Realistically you can only spoof specific things, spoofing hardware is actually a bad idea oftentimes because its possible to tell that you’re doing that. Spoofing certain things like audio readings do make sense tho.

Its based on Tor but its meant to be used with a VPN

Mullvad is much better privacy wise than Librewolf, its also snappier and has faster security and privacy updates. The only thing you really lose out on is Firefox sync (if you enabled it on Librewolf). The new identity button helps you reset to a stock state and allows you to circumvent fingerprinting (such as the fingerprinting used for enforcing bans) trivially. Mullvad takes Tor Browser’s approach to heart, while Librewolf takes Arkenfox’s changes to heart. Its factual that Tor Browser is the most private browser, so emulating aspects of it is certainly the way to go.

Some things you will probably find annoying:

• Its so good at stock that you shouldn’t customize it much if you don’t know what you’re doing.

• Letterboxing is hard to get used to

• Without nonstock modifications, its not suitable as a daily driver in my opinion, its a privacy tool first and foremost with stock settings. When you make it nonstock, it becomes very good as a daily driver but you really must be as minimalist as possible in your alterations. Take only what you desperately need, and make sure your settings do not interfere with the normal function of incognito mode which will essentially set the browser back to stock for you fingerprint wise by disabling cookies, history, extra addons, etc.

Some things you will like:

• Librewolf is sort of bloated feeling stock. It doesn’f feel as quick and snappy as Mullvad does.

They have big egos. You need to be sure they’re an avid poster and will respond to what you say. There’s also the public aspect, they don’t like having something awful they’ve done brought up in a community they like. You can set up a bot to post things like “Hey remember that time you sexually harassed a woman 20 years younger than you and a court ruled against you” as soon as they post an AMA so it’ll be the top comment. Reddit really hates when you use bots like this and will likely remove the comment after it gets a lot of attention which further inflames other people against the target.

A lot of this requires practice to get good at heckling. It’s all a case by case basis. You should always be aware of your audience and what the audience finds most unacceptable about someone’s behavior.

No

Colleges in fact often conspire to try to delay your graduation to fleece you. Don’t take it as a personal failing
