This might sound naive, but what ads? I don’t get ads on my phone, I have functioning adblockers on my browsers, and I use alternate front ends for the occasions I have to access normie social media.

I don’t watch TV or listen tp the radio, I read books and research papers primarily, and my actual social media use is on the federated options using apps that don’t have ads. I have my phone pretty tightly locked down, so even the apps I use don’t have ads.

Aside from the occasional product placements in something, I don’t get much exposure to advertising. And before anyone goes there, I work from home and don’t even see billboards. I don’t even get flyers.

Would I have to change a lot of that to run these tests?

They don’t have the mental capacity to hold anything remotely ambiguous or undefined in their rigid minds. So they try to force reality to conform to their overly simplistic little mental landscape.

And the Chinese can buy from the Americans, just like anyone else, because America’s only loyalty is to profit.

What are your requirements?

Looks like there are more things I need to start randomizing and injecting with noise.

I am literally so paranoid I regularly vary my keysteoke rhythms and explore polyrhytmic techniques to create variations. Not even joking.

I’m confused. Isn’t “collecting keystroke data” just an alarmist way to describe text entry?

So, from your knowledge of those APIs, this isn’t possible? I don’t need to develop a defensive protocol for it? I like to be comprehensive, especially with a potential (ideological and propaganda, if not literal) invasion from the new fascist state to my south, but if this is a low-level probability, I can put it way down my priority list.

[Citations needed] or it didn’t happen.

This is such a bullshit challenge. I often see it used to essentially bully someone into a side issue about citations. It’s a great way to avoid discussing the original issue.

I have knowledge (that I rarely share) that I am absolutely not going to cite, because I’m not jeopardising sources, or clearances, or violating my obligations to the official secrets act just to play someone’s status games.

If someone makes a claim, I am perfectly able to go find the relevant citations myself, if there are any. I am more interested in the structure and content of what they’re adding to the discussion.

I’ve been using the same roku box for the last 13 years. Still works just fine.

How about also, “Wow, seems like you need to work on your resource planning skills,” when a manager tries to demand unpaid overtime?
