Imgur link. Can’t see :(

All the time, baby!

Unless it’s absolutely necessary, vpn and kill switch stay on.

Wtf! In that case, i’m stumped. I can’t think of a mechanism that would allow Google to track you across all the different browsers and operating systems you’ve tried.

If you’re still concerned then just stop using these services. Youtube can’t track you if you never visit it!

I’ve never owned one but it looks like it just extands the range of your router. You could replace it with something else?

A good test would be to see if you experience the same thing on a different network. For example, take your laptop to a cafe and see if you still get personalised suggestions.

Again, having a secure vpn helps when travelling and is an important piece of the privacy stack, in my opinion. A proper one should cost ~$5 a month.

If you are capable of running tailsOS you’re capable of aquiring bitcoin and paying for a vpn. All the info is available online.

If you are truly not seeing any results i think you should ditch the google access point. Make sure you’re router is secure as well, but that’s beyond my realm of knowledge atm.

Hmmm very bizarre that none of those options are working for you. Those should be extremely secure ways of browsing the web.

Just to confirm, are you logging in to anything? Youtube and google can track you anywhere if you sign in to an account.

When you restart Tor and visit youtube, it should be asking you about cookies again. I make a habit of declining everything anyway.

Perhaps your Google access point is the culprit but it would have to be breaking encryption to affect your connection so surely not?

I’d recommend getting your hands on some bitcoin. Then you can convert it to monero and pay for a vpn that way. A secure vpn and librewolf should be enough to feel like you’re not being tracked.

There have always been threats yes, but nothing like this. On our current trajectory, billions will die by the end of the century. The impacts of climate change will reshape our global society. Never in history has there been a threat so severe.

History never had the threat of a warming climate. A child starting school now will finish high school in what, 2038? We’ll be above 2 degrees warming by then. They’re in for a rough ride.

I don’t agree. I think the Israeli’s needed breathing room to move forward with the Greater Israel project. The US was brought in to disrupt the Iranian support of Hamas. It was never about winning. It’s about providing military assistance to Israel for colonisation of the Middle East.

@Tango@piefed.ca makes a lot of good points. The EU is currently funneling billions into the Eastern front. If the US was to set up shop in Greenland. Could the EU meaningfully push back. They are so entwined with the US any type of war would be a disaster, trade or otherwise.

If the US seriously invades Greenland there’s not a lot Europe can do. Almost all EU tech infrastructure relies on US companies. They’d be fucked.

Strap in. It’s about to get even worse.

As othets have mentioned, i believe it’s more important to have a clear understanding of what your personal values and beliefs are. Then search for organisations that align with your beliefs.

For example, some of my values are fairness, honesty, justice, equality and cooperation. I’m not sure if you heard about the recent Mullvad controversy. (The CEO made a large donation to political party and now they have enough funds to be relevent). The party is neither left or right and actually have good socialist policies including a 30 work week. However, they also push ‘national remigration’ i.e ethnic cleansing, removal of all coloured immigrants from the country, racial segregation, you get the idea.

This fundementally goes against my beliefs in equality and cooperation so i could never vote for them in good conscious. I have also stopped my subscription as i no longer want to support a CEO who funds such things.

It is up to you to decide what to believe in and what red lines you draw. Every organisation is susceptible to corruption. I would advise that your principles take priority over party allegiance.

If one truly believes all humans are equal. They should agree that the US regime must end.

Oh no! This happened to me too! Is this a coordinated attack? 😱

That seems quite high. How many people would actually watch as soon as they got the notification? Do their videos usually get 500k views in the first hour?

It wouldn’t have to be all or nothing at first. They could still post to Youtube to share the load. Start with 3 servers and see how they get on.

Wht not spin up their own peertube instance? The tech is there. Idk how it would work out cost wise. 25M subscribers is a lot but how many simultaneous viewers would there be? 1000 is manageable, would probably only need one server. Creators must take distribution into their own hands.

This is soooo fucked. In 20 years the rest of the world will have sanctions on the US for producing too much CO2. If he hates windmills why not invest in other green tech. $1B in gas infrastructure when we’ve already hit 1.5°C of warming is insanity.

Trump will get “assassinated” by “Iran” soon. JD Vance will take the helm, declare a national emergency, suspend midterms and go full boots on ground invasion of the middle East.

Maybe a bit too much tinfoil in my hat but this is the craziest timeline lol

Death to America means death to the imperial regime. It does not mean death to the American people. It is not a personal attack on you. It feels like you took it personally and starting throwing transphobic insults. If you want to make the world a better place. You have to do better.

That wasn’t very nice.

Dude you were being extremely transphobic. I actually went and read your convo. You were using the fact that Diva is trans so say some really horrible shit. No wonder she doesn’t want you posting in her comm.

Even if you differ in opinion. You actually do have to be nice to people and you do have to treat everyone with respect.

Wow yeah you’re right! How interesting. Do you think there’s a stigma around suicide which prevents people from seeking help when it is actually available?

Excellent points. I do think how the country is run has an effect on suicide rates. A country with a better welfare state can provide better care for it’s citizens. I think the meme challenges the belief that quality of life is poor in these countries.

I certainly wouldn’t want instances to defederate over content like this.
