  • All this discussion about captchas raises a question for me: if fingerprinting is so accurate and easy, that ublock, no cookies and a VPN don't help... then why the fuck do I have to keep doing captchas?

  • You really do have to obsess if you take this seriously. It really isn't feasible for most people to devote kind of time and effort that I do on this stuff. I usually describe it as a kind of hobby, and I try to limit my advice to address specific concerns or threat models.

  • So you do understand part of what I'm saying, but not all of it. Yes, you can win with lies and you can win with the truth. You can also lose with either of them. Whichever way you go, you have to do it convincingly. Trump was convincing in his lies, and won. Kamala wasn't, and didn't. Does it do you any good to tell the truth unconvincingly in politics? This isn't a criticism of truth, it's a criticism of messaging and perception.

  • You've misunderstood me. People that complain about the poor quality of Chinese products seem to ignore that Chinese factories also produce the highest quality consumer goods, such as the Apple iPhone. Whether you have one or not is irrelevant to my comment.

  • I think you're arguing with a figment of your own imagination. Nowhere have I said anything about winning at all costs for its own sake. I'm observing that the current dem strategy isn't a winning one (indisputable), and I'm telling you why. Look, here's a good example from the last election: people were not feeling good about the economy. Trump has an answer for them. It's the wrong answer (tariffs and deportations), but he is engaging with a real concern. The democrat answer was "actually you're wrong, the economy is great, look at the stock market". They're stuck, because as the party of the status quo, they can't propose any radical changes to the system. They don't want any radical changes to the system. This means that in effect, they aren't even competing with republicans! I'm asking you to demand that your party compete.
