@beardalaxy I can't see any media either.

I wonder if we can use the same methods to recreate lost games that were only on cloud-streaming services. It won't be 100% accurate, but it's worth trying.

@RustyCrab Even celebrities blur their license plates.

We should have fedi instances which allow you to flip on anonymous mode and have your posts come from that instance's anon account.
Seriously, I see some of you guys are trying to push the limits on your edge-posts. I'm not going to name any names, but I see it a lot elsewhere.
If there is anything to take away from this situation is that you shouldn't even make "joke fedposts", no matter how confident you feel about your OPSEC.

re: Attention Cyberians
@cassidyclown The other thing is, while the fedi is lower profile than Twitter.com, it's not immune to being datamined for posts saying certain words about certain people.
The FSE thing a few months ago by someone fedposting where the wrong instance owner was contacted boils down to this. The feds used a firehose feed of fedi posts leeched off P's instance to search for certain words.
Given they had a user with poor opsec, and found this guy from this, meant they had a person locked on to do a deep dive of. Given that license plate numbers are 100% dox material (ESPECIALLY in countries with fixed license plates like where the plate stays with the car and can be used for shit like "sorry you can't drive your Diesel or old car in the city"), it doesn't take CSI tier cyberhackers and malware to find you when they have access to the license database (you might just have VIN access but they have everything).
The feds are 100% aware of the fedi, if not because of poa.st because of Mastodon and the Twitter Migration, and if you post dumb fucktarded inflammatory posts targeted to billionares, government officials, NGO employees, and people in power, you are going to be seeing a nice visit from the feds. Sure they might leave when they see you're a bored autist online after you give a rant to the FBI agent about how the post about doing XYZ was a joke bro.
It's like that Tumblrtard who got banned from Tumblr for making "totally non credible threats" about a car bomb to the CEO of the site.

re: Attention Cyberians
@cassidyclown The #1 opsec tip I can say is this.
Imagine every single thing you say will have your real name and photo next to it, because that will happen if you're ever doxed.
That's the best argument against doing retarded shit like fedposting, or posting edgy crap. Some Poastie was doxed eons ago by a huffpost journalist this way, who had a comically poor sense of opsec and decided to post every username/alias he used to try to gain e-clout. He had something to lose (a teaching job) and ended up nuking everything for posting online about black people and whatnot.

In the US, the Secret Service are knocking on peoples' doors over things they post on social media.
This is terrifying stuff which would never happen in a free country, and was unimaginable in the US 100 years ago.
But I might offer a little bit of advice :
1. Live somewhere where there's a decent sheriff (if you can)
2. Get to know your sheriff
3. If goons come to your door, CALL HIM
4. Either real-name post (like me) or be really good at opsec, because these people are pretty good at doxing and will use what you say against you.

@PurpCat @cassidyclown @kroner Besides 4chan. I was thinking more of the 8chan bunkers, even though they are less active (though it seems like 8moe/v/ is more active due to GamerGate 2.0).
@PurpCat @cassidyclown @kroner Really, just save the edgy stuff for imageboards and even then, do that through a VPN or Tor. It's better than managing a bunch of alt accounts and making sure that the ones with the controversial content aren't linked to your real id.
@cjd Maybe I should just go back to posting solely on anonymous imageboards.

I have noticed a worrying trend in computer science where topics that are have surprising, non-intuitive properties are now taught as “oh, treat this as a magic black box, you will never understand it”. I hate this as people then “teach” by discouraging exploration in the space
I'm just going to say it. I never really liked Akira Toriyama's artstyle. Everyone looks like they have Down's Syndrome.
