Mom, they’re taking NCD shit seriously again! Tell them to stop!

Every time somebody says something like “I could have done that” (especially if they’re being dismissive of somebody’s achievement), it brings me great pleasure to say “but you didn’t.”

I’m in my 40’s and trans, and ever since I was a child I knew I didn’t fit my assigned gender and it just felt… wrong. Took me a long time to understand this was me being trans and not me being “broken” somehow, thanks to a conservative upbringing, but basically I’ve known all my life.

What, you don’t have a poop roller?

“It ain’t honest work, but it’s much”

If you want to protect your privacy against viewers of your videos, how you upload them to YouTube makes more or less no difference. With this scenario the question is how much information are you leaking in your content, and that’d cover everything from writing style idiosyncracies to anything that can be used to potentially identify eg. where you live and so on.

If you’re worried about “malicious hackers”, then the question is who are these potential hackers you’re protecting against? Would they be attacking Google or you? If it’s you, then how you upload things to YT is again completely meaningless. If they’re attacking Google and get far enough to actually exfil data, what they’d actually be able to get out of it is anybody’s guess. Using a VPN and a throwaway email is probably good enough in any case.

Who are you protecting your privacy against here?

Because if it’s Google, then why on earth would you want to upload content to YouTube in the first place?

OK, let’s say you didn’t give them your phone number and masked your voice. If you’re not connecting over a VPN or something like Tor, they still have your IP address.

OK, you now use a VPN, but your browser can still be very effectively fingerprinted and that fingerprint could be nearly unique.

And so on and so on. And this isn’t even going into metadata in & about your video files that could be used to fingerprint the system they were done on.

You better not be gearing up to go all Deliverance on us with that story

Ah, good idea putting the fire in the tent, that way the fire will stay warm

From the Oxford English Dictionary:

The first time I saw a headline about this, just saying that the Supreme Court overturned “the Chevron doctrine” my initial thought was that I have no idea wtf they did but if the votes went 6-3 I know it can’t be anything good.

Much to my consternation I appear to have been right.

I think that’s just IT jobs in general. I noped out after 15 years, no fucking clue what I’ll do but I can tell you it’ll be anything but IT

What do you mean they cut the power? How could they cut the power, man? They’re animals!

Aliens

“But but… what if some of them are terrorists?”

What happened to “not wasting any time on me”?

Edit: this dude is having a normal one

Amazing take. Back in the 1920’s you would have looked at the rise of the NSDAP in Germany and gone “not surprised given the jews there”
