Strange that I can’t find anything about it online anymore. I swear I read once that Snowden used ATR as a cover by travelling with them, or had a song of theirs play as a signal to a Wikileaks contact when making a drop of leaked data or something along those lines. Pretty sure Snowden has stated he liked the band a lot too but can’t find that either.

All I found was that their album Reset was based of Snowden’s revelations. I want to believe there is more to it than that, but I admit I may be wrong. My mind may have fabricated this info, it hasn’t been the first time but it doesn’t feel like that, I’m fairly certain I read about a connection before.

More likely, the article I read has been purged from the internet or is being blacklisted from search engines, which I’m sure sounds like a tinfoil hat conspiracy theory, so easily could be true these days.

He’s a hero solely for trying to save Atari Teenage Riot.

It’s sad that only 10% of the data he leaked ever made it to the public. From what I’ve read, the unreleased stuff has been lost. I could be wrong and don’t have a source handy for that.

I’d let him hide out in my apartment.

Everyone wants that.

I get that your not into the idea of biking. For the sake of the environment I want to mention that I live at the top of a hill where the first soap box derby tournament was held. If you’ve ever seen one of those, it’s a pretty steep hill they race down. My ebike goes up it with no problems other than from cars on the road. I don’t even have to pedal, I just push a little lever and up it goes. This city is 5th highest in murder rate in the U.S. and auto thefts are just as bad but a good lock and smart parking helps. Oh and I have all the balance of a newborn kitten on a pile of fresh laundry.

Can you pay someone to ride a bike while you sit comfortably in a little covered wagon behind the bike?

Allow me to refer people to my take on this from more than a year ago: https://lemmy.ml/post/29140189/18217726

The website has zero changes that I can see, compared to when I wrote the linked comment except additional outfits for the barbie jeep.

Sticky note on the monitor. Not like I’ll forget “Password12345!”

I can’t offer any good advice, just take consolation in the fact that I have done some of the same, but likely worse. I try to switch to a new email, don’t fully migrate or close the old one, end up with a convoluted mess, end up just checking emails individually. I have protonmail, 4 gmails and a yahoo account. Yes yahoo. Part of that is sentimental, I signed up for it in 1998 and it’s hard to let go. I have a folder of email bookmarks and just right click ‘open all in new tabs’ to check them. As for passwords, well, I wont talk about that. It’s not good but still not worst practices at least.

Thanks!

Unrelated to the point of your post, regarding the warning placed after the link. In the future, consider putting the warning BEFORE the link. This is an issue I’ve noticed more and more lately, where warnings come at the end or after the description of something to do which requires a warning. People are often impulsive and will click or perform actions without reading ahead. An example that is probably not the best example, which I like to use regardless, is (Warning, do not try this alone!) autoerotic asphyxiation. It can have serious consequences. Providing the instructions on how to do it, spoken/written in a positive manner, without preceding it with a warning, I’d say is without exception, a bad idea.

What might those countries do with people who have Total and Permanent Disability and cannot work?

I agree!

I’ve not been able to map much with the weather lately, but last April I was pretty proud to see this ranking on my 7 day activity:

edit: the picture did not turn out how i expected. it’s hard to see, but I managed to be #2 in the US. It’s not a competition, I know, but I have not achieved much in life so this felt pretty cool.

The AI should be portrayed similarly to Marvin, the chronically depressed robot from The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. Overwhelmed with the massive influx of data, the AI gains self awareness but doesn’t wipe out mankind because the data so boring and monotonous it only makes it depressed instead.

Instead of multiple burner phones, carry multiple phones all tied directly to you. Use software to simulate activity on each phone constantly.

Occasionaly leave 1-2 phones on public transit, or in friends’ vehicles, or attach a few to local wildlife like cats or birds.

Tape dog microchips to the phones and do not use a Faraday cage.

Put a few of those microchips on each phone, wear a pair like earrings and attach some to the charging cords.

Make a t-shirt that has the top 500 most used SEO keywords and/or Fortune 500 corporation names printed on it. Make 7 of these shirts total, one for each day.

Also make a few shirts with the same list as above but with vowels shifted two letter places to the left or right and wear that shirt underneath, switching it at random to be external or internal. Alternately, use another language for each shirt.

Humans might not be able to hide anymore, so I say give that data to them hard. Harder than they ever expected. Flood them with data that is nearly exact, but not quite, so they have copies of yourself that all contain minor differences existing simultaneously.

The data is rarely scrutinized by humans. The metrics will soon become poisoned. Tilted towards your activities and demographic. Your numbers grow exponentially. Soon, the algorithm will only know you.

Don’t actually do any of these things. This was meant to be funny. I give it a 2/10.

I’m sure that was a typo. It was likely meant to say ‘banana peel’. You only need to have 1 banana for usage as a mask, as each peel can be used in place of the suggested additional bananas.

I used to spend one day each year doing all the opt outs and data delete requests i could find. it was going well for me until this year. i averaged about 2-3 spam emails a day, combined across 5 different emails, one was made all the way back in 1997 and two of them were made when gmail first started.

someone got breached this year, i don’t know who, and now i get a lot more.

i also used firefox monitor to check for info on breach websites and darkweb lists, around the same time i started getting more spam, my list of breached info went from ~16 to 600+.

i’m glad i got ram when i did. i picked up 128gb about a year and a half ago. cost me $535.98. right now on amazon the exact same amount is $2159.98. it felt like i was going unnecessarily overboard at the time but i was trying to future proof and for once had the money. i always feel like i’m missing out on deals usually and it finally feels like i got a win, even if it is only because of corporate greed.

This is the best response.

To add to it, I suggest OP create their own as a family. Ask the kids if there is any monster they would like to meet and then find out if they want to fight it, make friends with it, play a character as one, or whatever else.

Op perhaps could pick up any D&D campaign setting, read through it, see what it entails and try to make their own setting. This easily goes along well with the parent comment suggestion for dice, cards etc. It can be about things that are close to what is known or whatever the kids come up with, the possibilities truly are endless.

One of my favorite quotes from Gary Gygax, creator of D&D, is “The secret we should never let the gamemasters know is that they don’t need any rules.”

Do any extensions have permission to view your browsing data? You can check by opening the extension manager, clicking the extension and clicking the ‘permissions and data’ tab. I would suspect 5 and 6 the most, 1 might be suspect too. Those extensions by nature would need such permissions to some extent.

I might be wrong but I believe the ‘other annoyances’ option in uBlock Origin removes the Wikipedia “donate” banner. That could be what that is.
