The Russkij Mir in all its glory.

That’s certainly a way to read this I suppose

I actually don’t know much about him except that he’s now the Führleader of the SD and supposedly a “moderate.”

The problem I have with conservatives claiming to be moderates is that even the ones who believe murdering minorities and leftists is a legitimate political platform think that they’re “moderates”. Must be something to do with conservatives being spineless fucks.

Could be, the time does look approximately right since it’s from 26.6.

Frankly it’s hilarious how people especially on the more, er… fringe side of the leftist spectrum seem to think that the CIA is behind everything. Feels like for some people spilling their coffee means that it happened because the CIA made the floor slippery. Also every time a country like eg. Ukraine decides they’d very much like to not have a brutal Russian-controlled puppet government, or there’s anything even resembling a coup in South America, it’s somehow the CIA’s doing.

And no, I’m not saying the CIA hasn’t ever done anything nefarious or won’t do so in the future; they’ve definitely done a lot of nasty shit in their time, but they also tended to overstate their own importance and success a lot.

I saw a gAmEr complaining about all the woke things in Starfield, and he listed things like “unattractive females” and “accents”.

So yeah, if feeeeeeemale in my vidya no make pp hard = WOKE POLITICS. Also if foreign people in my vidya = WOKE IDEOLOGICAL PANDERING

And it’s not like I’m Jewish or a leftist; surely the brownshirt leopards won’t eat my face

According to conservatives “politics” is apparently only something the nasty evil Others™ do, just like everything everybody else does that they don’t like is “ideology”.

Because studio executives – just like the executive of most other companies out there – have realized that they don’t need to actually innovate or risk putting money into uncertain new projects, when they can just take something that’s already been done, try to pretty it up a little, and then sell it to people who’ll go see it based on name recognition.

Why take a risk with new IP, when the old IP that sort of worked is already there? Just give it a new coat of paint and sell more of it instead, fire some workers (I’m sorry, “rightsize” the company), buy another yacht. Problem solved.

Mom, they’re taking NCD shit seriously again! Tell them to stop!

If you want to protect your privacy against viewers of your videos, how you upload them to YouTube makes more or less no difference. With this scenario the question is how much information are you leaking in your content, and that’d cover everything from writing style idiosyncracies to anything that can be used to potentially identify eg. where you live and so on.

If you’re worried about “malicious hackers”, then the question is who are these potential hackers you’re protecting against? Would they be attacking Google or you? If it’s you, then how you upload things to YT is again completely meaningless. If they’re attacking Google and get far enough to actually exfil data, what they’d actually be able to get out of it is anybody’s guess. Using a VPN and a throwaway email is probably good enough in any case.

Who are you protecting your privacy against here?

Because if it’s Google, then why on earth would you want to upload content to YouTube in the first place?

OK, let’s say you didn’t give them your phone number and masked your voice. If you’re not connecting over a VPN or something like Tor, they still have your IP address.

OK, you now use a VPN, but your browser can still be very effectively fingerprinted and that fingerprint could be nearly unique.

And so on and so on. And this isn’t even going into metadata in & about your video files that could be used to fingerprint the system they were done on.

I think that’s just IT jobs in general. I noped out after 15 years, no fucking clue what I’ll do but I can tell you it’ll be anything but IT

What do you mean they cut the power? How could they cut the power, man? They’re animals!

Aliens

I mean, depends on how rough you like your scritchies

I used to lose my airborne brigade all the time, but now every time I leave the house I always check that I have everything; “keys, phone, wallet, airborne brigade. OK, check”

Your only mistake was naïveté to cannibalism.

Mine too, Goldie. Mine too.
