fyi the point of fucking up your data patterns isnt to avoid suspicion. it’s to make EVERYONE suspicious. same logic as the bloc, pals. protect your comrades, be suspicious. ESPECIALLY if you aren’t doing anything likely to get you arrested.
the state is less omniscient and significantly more incompetent than you’d think. overextend their resources at every possible opportunity. make them cry wolf repeatedly. run their data analysis agents fucking ragged. and strike. attack.
YES
i’m a postgrad statistics researcher and i can tell you that the state honestly has NO IDEA what to do with the data it collects, it has an obsession with big data but it’s almost impossible to work with in practice. the traditional statistical approaches that are used can’t be scaled up, the adapted approaches are substantially weakened, and the machine learning approaches have the same problems and often tell them nothing. data scientists are only just coming around to these issues too, most still just push on with it anyway - incompetence is the word.
above all this though, like you say, the biggest issue for the state is at the point of data collection. they will NEVER get anything useful if they’re collecting shitty messy data. they will eventually figure out that the real solution is working how to collect accurate and meaningful data, we should make it as difficult as possible for them to do that
This makes me think that we need WAAAY more apps that generate junk data
Apps that generate junk data? tell me moooore.
Ooh I know this one!
Ad Nauseum is an adblocker that stores the ads it blocks and continuously generates fake clicks, fucking with analytics and costing the ad companies money
TrackMeNot automatically does randomly generated searches on a variety of search engines to obscure your real searches and fuck with analytics, and you can set it up to work with anything that has a search bar (including facebook, twitter, amazon, youtube, etc)
WhatCampaign replaces analytics parameters in links with the string “FuckOff”. I thought there was a similar extension that used random strings, but I can’t seem to find it
Privacy Possum is a fork of Privacy Badger with a focus on costing tracking companies as much money as possible, and idk if my limited tech knowledge is enough to understand what it does but the description does say it falsifies some data so that’s good enough for me
Boy it SURE would be a SHAME if this were SPREAD AROUND for everyone TO SEE
infosec people disagree about whether or not you can intentionally overcome the massive data footprint you leave every day in the grid but the important part is that it’s free, fun and funny to try. so why not
just bc it could work doesn’t mean it should have to. when disney bought fox, they knew what they were getting. deadpool is a franchise with two r rated predecessors and disney trying to keep their family friendly image while owning it is a big example of “maybe you shouldn’t have bought it”. not to mention the fact that we already would have had deadpool 3 bc 21st century (as a smaller movie house) considered it a priority. for disney, it’s just another notch on the bed post
ok while I’m here (and by no circumstance am I saying xmcu deadpool was perfect nor was 21st century) BUT
-deadpool flirted with men and women on screen
-negasonic teenage warhead (main character in both films) was a canon lesbian with a girlfriend
-a maori teen was cast as a villain that was white in the comics then given a redemption arc/mentioned the emotional trauma of the foster system
-deadpool shot a p*dophile
-josh brolin had a lil crush on ryan reynolds and I know in my heart 100% would have kissed him on camera
-domino was a superhero with vitiligo
if disney won’t even honor the precedent set by TWO r rated films prior to #3 well………I don’t think that’s a good sign
If it helps, Ryan Reynolds is just as pissed as we are and the pg-13 Disney approved version probably would have been filmed by now if it weren’t for him raising absolute hell and refusing to cooperate.
Keep on delaying the movie, king. We’ll wait.
if disney doesn’t allow deadpool 3 to be rated r, ryan reynolds should drop out and start a new independent project called “not alive pool”. idk it seems like what not alive pool would want rather than be suffocated by the corporate mouse
Some people can lift 200 pounds. But if they carried it everywhere they went for an entire day without ever putting it down, they’d severely tear their muscles and cause permanent damage to their body.
Some people can enter a 140° car in the summer to get something out of the car. But if they stayed in the car, they’d die from the heat.
Some people can hold their breath underwater for 30 seconds. But if they tried to go scuba diving without the necessary gear, they’d drown.
Clearly, someone doing something for a short period of time does not automatically mean that they can do it indefinitely with no problem.
So why do people assume that if someone can walk for a few seconds, they don’t need a wheelchair?

no, you don’t need a cockatoo or a serval. you need to learn why some animals weren’t domesticated and look into animals that will actually thrive in the average human home instead of spending thousands of dollars on an animal that physically cannot thrive in your home.
y’all will really throw this stupid slogan at anything, huh? you cannot ethically own a wild animal unsuited to captivity no matter how you obtain it that’s the point of the fucking post
you shouldn’t feed wildlife either i swear every weirdly militant vegan on this website has no more than 3 braincells
