  • Ultimately, the sentiment isn't completely wrong. Using a different browser isn't going to save you from being tracked. Using one or multiple browser extensions isn't going to save you from being tracked. Using a VPN isn't even going to save you from being tracked.

    Accounts are pretty much required to use most sites, and many also require connecting a phone number or other personal details. Privacy is actively discouraged, and attempting to pursue it leaves you with many hardships -- by design I would argue. You buy a product on one site, with no prior search history about it, and suddenly you start getting emails from unrelated sites about similar products. In capitalism, any information about your habits and interests also becomes a commodity. Why shouldn't people dismiss privacy in favor of convenience, in such a system? It seems futile to even try.

    And if your government is determined to figure out who you are online, then it will. Don't make the mistake of thinking they don't know what you've been up to, here or otherwise.

  • I was involved with an Indie game that was priced at roughly $15. It literally sold for 10 cents in those regions with Steam's recommended pricing, mainly due to the accelerating inflation, and within hours of release, 20% of the sales came from these regions because of people abusing VPN. The pricing was quickly adjusted before that percentage could grow any larger.

    When people can just get a freshly released game at a 99.5% discount, you might as well not sell the game at all in those regions.

  • A) necessary for stopping the butchering of palestinians,

    B) had any chance of stopping the butchering of palestinians in general, as opposed to giving israel the perfect excuse to start carpet bombing with no restraint

    This implies that you have proof that the killing of kids was intentional (IF it even happened, there's still no concrete evidence for that yet either).

    Do you have proof?

    Because saying "killing kids is bad" will not convince me that Hamas is actually doing this.

  • It's just gonna pollute the internet with even more bullshit. Language models don't really understand topics, they just put together words that are likely to appear with each other. Biases are inherent to this design.
