Who need the power of those datacenters are all the big companies running more advanced analytics on us. Be prepared to see global dynamic pricing. Checking your cookies to increase price of flights and hotels because you’ve been looking at them for too long is the past, they are going to correlate all your digital footprint and your fingerprint history to define your identity regardless of IP and login and see if you just got promoted, are on high spirits, or on dire need of an item, and surge its prices everywhere because they are going to be selling this service to all platforms… and we better not even think about the services they are going to be selling to governments, what we have right now is scary enough.

The demand is there, it’s just naive to think we are the target. We are not the ones that are going to consume it.

People don’t like crypto around here - me neither, the only thing I know about crypto privacy is that samurai-thing whose owner was arrested on bogus claims of money laundering

After commercial OS have age verification they will remove it from the programs because the age was already verified, right? (Padme asking Anakin)

Oh, before “setting in”, test out all the sites you need to use regularly, because of its hardened fingerprinting protection webgl and webgpu are disable, also canvas and other scripts, and I believe they completely stripped the browser DRM checks, so some streaming services won’t work as well.

It needs a bit of fine tuning for daily use, but it’s nothing cryptic: If you don’t want to save all cookies, then you gotta add exception to sites you want to stay connected to (unless you are ok with having to login every time you enter a site). I think saving history is disabled by default, and this is quite inconvenient. You also gotta allow saving passwords if you want the browser to have them.

I’m here saying Proton has servers in 127 countries and they are widely different, so how do you decide to which ones they are “tied” (protip: They are tied to none, getting an exit node in a country benefit users from the countries next to it, and it also opens that country’s geolocked content to the world). Get a brain.

Proton has servers in both Russia and Ukraine, and neither means Proton has ties with their governments. If you want to expand an Israel boycott to anyone doing business with any company from Israel then ok, but the word “ties” seems to imply some involvement or complicity with a government/regime/ideology, like they are connected to anything said place is doing.

Proton has servers in 127 countries, including Cuba, Russia, Venezuela… do they all count as ties?

I’m all pro Age Verification, the good old “If you are over 18 click yes”

“I-I’m only reading the Twilight Saga to know if it’s appropriate for my daughter *sweats profusely* I-I don’t have a shrine to Edward in my closet!”

Yep, hate when I want to follow some project and they link you to X, Reddit and Discord lol

Amelia wasn’t AI-generated, she was literally goverment-generated for a stupid game saying you should mind your own business instead of watching and sharing content online or you can be arrested (people are just using AI to create more art with the character, but the character was created by the government). In the game the content was anti-immigration stuff and Amelia the girl trying to get the main character to get involved, so some dumbass just gave them a waifu lol
The game however basically tells you have to choose between being a racist or accepting 1984-surveillance (which UK is already doing anyway). Really great government propaganda.
