| Grendel 05/29/24 1:28:45 AM #12 | Yellow posted... Are they going to be associating my gamefaqs account with my SSN? Sure. Whatever. Are they going to know exactly what I type into the search box from here on out? No. If they wanted to it'd be pretty easy to get that directly from Google especially since they could probably pretty reliably fingerprint you to the VPN endpoints you're using on a timeline. They 100% have backdoors and back-alley agreements with these companies Snowden, among others, made that public. I reiterate, if you're trying to hide your browsing habits from an intelligence agency you're going to need to get A LOT more computer savvy than you are. What really matters, though, is that they're probably just not interested in any of us, so the whole thing is pretty moot beyond being distasteful that they do it at all. Yellow posted... Believe it or not the government is not some almighty power. They run into walls. There was a leaked document talking about how Tails OS is a serious obstacle to them. Hate to say it but this edgy commentary is about as useless as someone telling me not to vote because the whole system is corrupt. You might as well be an NSA plant. My man you're the one making edgy leethacker posts about hiding from the NSA using your NordVPN account or some shit. You haven't even mentioned Tor, you have no idea what you're talking about. Use a VPN, they're good tools, but you put waaay too much faith in them. |

There's bitbucket, but that's owned by Atlassian, so it probably sucks and they probably sell your data anyway. If you really want privacy then you probably want to self-host with something like gitea or altenratives. |

| Grendel 05/29/24 1:06:29 AM #9 | Brave uses Chromium. Use Firefox to be truly free of their infestation. Yellow posted... Going to use a VPN at all times too. Fuck you NSA Most people's internet habits fingerprint them pretty specifically. Chances are if the NSA is interested in you, they'll know exactly what you're doing all the time VPN or not. A VPN might help you not get a piracy notice, but if you think a 1st world intelligence agency will be stymied by it, then I've got a bridge to sell you. |

| Grendel 05/20/24 3:38:33 AM #5 | They didn't fix it so much as they put a bit of lipstick on the pig. |

| Topic | Red Lobster abruptly closes dozens of stores |
| Grendel 05/18/24 3:00:22 AM #20 | Melody_JR posted... Red Lobster is not closing because their prices are too high. Its because they were too low and they lost millions from Endless Shrimp.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CqT-AvswCZo |
