You can set up wireguard vpn on a tiny instance in Amazon or Google, and bounce traffic through that one. Then you control what gets logged (Amazon may have logs over all outgoing connections from all instances somewhere though).

You can even make it change it’s public ip every day if you want.

AI can put together all that personal data and create very detailed profiles on everyone, automatically. From that data, an Ai can add a bunch of attributes that are very likely to be true as well, based on what the person is doing every day, working, education, gender, social life, mobile data location, bills etc etc.

This is like having a person follow every user around 24 hours per day, combined with a psychologist to interpret and predict the future.

It’s worth a lot of money to advertisers of course.

That ip address at a university is probably forwarding everything to some Chinese government agency. Now they can just blame the university and remove any trace of the real guys.

It’s impossible to be 100% honest all the time if you want to live in the western culture. It would cause so many problems. You would be seen as someone strange, even though you are the normal one for expressing your honest emotions.

In a mad world, being sane is seen as being mad.

If you do that, people will ask more questions and you will have to tell them why you feel that way. Unless you want to tell complete strangers (or job clients) how you feel, I’m not sure about this strategy. :)

Don’t worry about it. If you don’t post anything they disagree with (and most people don’t), you will not be annoyed by them.

If you have only mainstream opinions, you will be fine. You don’t question mainstream science, you think everyone needs to vaccinate for the public good, and so on. Nothing strange for the majority.

Sure but do they matter?

I don’t understand why someone would post a search query as a Lemmy post, but ok. Maybe it’s a bot creating random content.

The average iq in that room would be incredible if it wasn’t for Trump.

Downvoters are just still in the matrix. It’s OK.

By changing the url manually to instances you know about?

I think something along the lines of showing most instances in the same page could be cool.

Because the fediverse is not about a single instance.

They do this in ayahuasca ceremonies also. Cleans the body from a lot of toxic shit.

Yeah it’s not easy to wait honestly. Trying to find other shows but a lot of the other stuff is dogshit. :)

I think season 2 is probably not as good as season 1 too, it’s impossible.

Cars harm the environment but they are literally essential for society to function.

You take the good with the bad.

Only America can steal data appearently. Everyone else is a terrorist.

Nothing… I like replacing things and I’m not attached to things at all.

If anything, I like the feeling of buying new things to replace old ones, just for some minor feeling of change.

Seems to actually be some press about it too, I was surprised to see Bbc, Reuters and new york post write about it.

But yeah, it’s very interesting what they have made here.

This should be its own post. Very interesting. People are not aware of this I think.

This war is about control, not by weapons but by controlling minds. It’s fairly obvious. Social media forms opinions. It’s also full of bubbles where people get reinforcement for their existing beliefs. What people believe doesn’t matter so much, just that their beliefs are shaped by social media.

Social media platforms are controlled by big tech algorithms, so they in turn control what information should surface. On computers and phones, you have survellience apps running (called AI) that collects information about each users private life. This is all combined with other info to build an accurate profile of everyone having a device using social media or the web.

The end goal is to watch everyone, keep them in line. In the west I think it’s mostly used to sell ads, but in other countries like China and Russia, I think it’s more sinister.

Either way, the end goal is control of people. Before, it was control of land and borders.
