Some of this is also about less complicated ways to use patents that can also be applied to things like prosthetic limbs.

Also, it provides a control case with how well-studied human anatomy is. In terms of basic mechanical motion, there’s a clear baseline goal.

I remember seeing early versions of the synthetic muscle fibers years ago, but as far as ways to practically apply them and test, and refine them as control technology improves with machine learning. 10-15 years ago, this wasn’t really possible.

When can I get OpenAI’s Operator to mail my enemies a box of horse manure?

That’s what he means, right?

The problem is it’s all or nothing. You must foil IP address, fingerprint, and cookies - all three at once.

Mullvad browser might make your fingerprint look similar to other users, but it’s not common is the problem. Test it with the EFF Cover your tracks site.

This is what I’ve been saying for months in the reddit privacy sub and to people IRL. Some people seem perfectly happy to just block ads so they don’t see the tracking. Literal ignorance is bliss. Most simply don’t have time or wherewithal to do the minimal work it takes to enjoy relative “privacy” online.

FWIW, any VPN where you can switch locations should do the job since the exit node IPs ought to get re-used. My practice is to give BigG a vanilla treat because my spouse hasn’t DeGoogled, and leave anything attached to our real names with location A. Then a whole second non-IRL-name set of accounts usually with location B with NoScript and Chameleon. Then anything else locations C, D, E, etc.

Ugh… This all sucks.

Ooooh, no they won’t stop this. It’s the workaround for tracking with all the things you just mentioned.

You have to either mask the fingerprint like how Brave does, or spoof the headers and block JS to make the fingerprint useless.

Painted into what corner? Seven was always supposed to be the final season, and included a bunch of things that only made real sense big picture if you knew about the Buffy universe comics, like the scythe. The Season 8 etc. comics are so out there that they were never intended for actual production.

Season 6 was the real klunker because they had shifted from WB to UPN, so production after an epic season 5 had lots of new staff, so it ended up in a lot of uninspired drudgery, monster of the week blah, plus Buffy has to work now and that sucks worse because you can’t stake a mortgage and dust it.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

Art Bell. His voice is just buttery silk, the content is batshit crazy, and it was always a late-night show.

It is, but that’s the workaround they went for, and it worked just fine in a legal sense. It was probably faster and less expensive than trying to engage in anything thats going to even risk involving a copyright attorney.

Yeah, a couple years back it went away, replaced by super stickers or some dumb thing.

Not quite the same, but Total Annihilation and Beyond All Reason. It wasn’t abandonware, but more like after Total Annihilation hit success, rights were sold and resold and Atari as the final owner squandered every opportunity to do more with the engine and the franchise.

The tactics were essentially receating a better engine with Spring, as the sort of newly open source upgraded version of the engine the same people built 10 years earlier. Taylor Swift did the same thing.

It’s like using the failed Reddit Gold lounge as a business model. A sub of awkward dudes that paid to be there and random people passing through and not sure WTF is going on with the awkward party.

Let’s all be clear, Reddit is part of the surveillance state.

You can’t log in without Google and Apple trackers being allowed. New Reddit has recapcha trackers on every page. Only old.reddit doesn’t track what you see, just what you write.

Your thoughts and content belong to a publicly traded company focused on profits if you use reddit.

What is “Things people have been saying for 10 years?” Alex?

That’s the feature! Not a bug.

The new reddit design sucks and always has, other than dark mode.

You’re right, I don’t know what I was thinking. Other than “commies hate time zones.”

Same. Angola to Sweden - the variety of environments and food cultures are massive.

That was (edit:NOT) the USSR.

10/10 video, recorded last November.

This is like getting the big picture when Project 2025 is down in the weeds. This isn’t a rabbit hole to go down. This is when a hawk picks up the rabbit and flies, soaring above everything for a couple glorious minutes before it eats the rabbit.

Right now we’re setting up the “ignore the courts” pillar, which we should get right before a shutdown on the Ides of March.

Yeah, but other than a hybrid, fuel efficiency plateaued at some point before bells and whistles started being added to a surveillance system.
