  • What news sources do you follow that offer different political perspectives from your own?

    Jump

  • To clarify, the term news to me translates to an organization whose purpose is to interpret events that could otherwise be better observed by going to primary sources oneself.

  • Many TV stations put a banner ad in the picture these days

    Jump

  • That's good. It should serve as a reminder that you need to abandon a dinosaur push media. It's a subtle way to punish normies who haven't caught on yet.

    Jump

  • I don't pay attention to news sources.

  • Besides traditional cable/satellite tv, what's considered "tv" today?

    Jump

  • I would consider major centralized social networking platforms to be equivalent to television today as it holds captive the masses in much the same way, but with even finer grained control.

  • Ask her what her favorite steam locomotive engine is.

    Get upset when she gives the wrong answer.

    Erupt into a heated diatribe about the necessity of good boiler design and make sure she knows why she isn't allowed to be friends with you.

    Yell something unintelligible at her son on the way out.

    If she still comes back to you later, then you know you've found a keeper.

  • How is your vessel configured?

    Jump

  • I meant to, but was rudely interrupted by a skeleton swordsman this morning.

    My client is configured to reject all non-encrypted peer connections. It sacrifices some potential seeds but is worth the added defense in depth if ever my VPN fails catastrophically. Openvpn client to an obscure VPN service. All media gets passed through clamAV before being accessed.

    While on the hunt for treasure, my browser is configured to send DNS traffic over Tor. All web pages only get to load HTML and images, and they (torrent sites) remain perfectly functional without anything else. DDG search with the old tricks '1080p', 'full', 'HEVC', 'x264/x265', 'ep0_/se0_', '.mkv' and so on.

    I rotate my treasure chests between ships.

  • If I threaten a politician to kill them like Trump did to Liz Cheney could I be arrested? If so how come Trump hasn't been arrested for it?

    Jump

  • If I threaten a politician to kill them

    Implies that the threat itself is what kills them. Or that the intention of making the threat is that they will die as a consequence of receiving the message.

    English is a Subject-Verb-Object language. What you should have said was:

  • Web browsers are beginning to feel that way these days.

    Apparently the ISP modem-routers being supplied these days have virtual assistants embedded (you vill use our spyware and you vill be happy!).

  • Whole home cleansing. They send a guy out quarterly who assesses each room and blows sage around hot spots. My home isn't very active but I sleep better at night knowing that there aren't dark energies in risk corridors.

  • You won't do it.

  • YSK about JShelter, a browser extension that attempts to protect you from being fingerprinted online.

    Jump

  • The approach once worked, but that was back before browsers began including the likes of things like advertiser IDs and other extremely high entropy attributes that no average person would ever think to disable. Contemporary hide-in-the-crowd strategies are mostly curated within efforts like Tor browser where everyone is encouraged to use the exact same configuration. But then it's still a numbers problem. If only two attendees decide to hide their faces with party masks to a soiree of 100 people, one (large scale observer) only need check the guest list and use process of elimination to determine the identities of the 2% "hidden" attendees.

    Somebody can, and probably will, come along and refute this assessment. I am not entirely convinced myself that it is a losing strategy yet. I'm open to hear opposing takes.

    Privacy Badger: ~IIRC Privacy Badger operates by logging third party domains connections on a per-site bases, and only begins to actively block connections once a domain seen across multiple visits fits the profile of a likely tracker.~

    Nvrmnd, they've changed how PB works and it is now closer to a list-based tracker blocker (enumerate badness):

    Privacy Badger no longer learns from your browsing by default, as “local learning” may make you more identifiable to websites.

    So they've since corrected one of the core issues with PB. Still it is weak. To see why, please glance through The Six Dumbest Ideas in Computer Security.

    uBlock Origin in advanced mode, with default-deny rules (only allow assets by exception) is going to be much stronger at blocking crap.

    Personally, I use uMatrix with pretty much all asset classes blocked by default. I never see popups. I never see banners begging "please allow our cookies, pleeeeaaase!".

  • Wow that's a lot of effort compared to just blocking CSS and javascript with something like uMatrix.

  • New Lemmy user here...What terminology should I know?

    Jump

  • Nazi: When somebody on lemmy says this, they aren't talking about literal jackboot historical underlings of Adolf Hitler, but instead referring to anyone who isn't firmly on the progressive side of the political aisle.

    Tankie: I'm still trying to figure this one out. Apparently it's not referring to tank roles in online games. It supposed to be insulting, despite sounding very laudatory.
