Damn! That is good shit! I’ll definitely look into it.

Just 160gb? I will get a USB and back up the whole thing.

Even earlier than 2003.

Same here.

Please tell me how to do it over an API. I really want to know.

Edit. I have LM studio and downloaded AI chatbots. But they give far more bullshit than chatgpt (which i rarely use much anyway), which is why talking to it feels even more pointless than chatgpt at times.

Never say never. AI was made by humans, and anything made by humans can be defeated by humans. I used to think a lot of cybersec hacking crap was pure fiction until as late as 2020 when I saw so many real hacks that put most cyberpunk films to shame. And since then it is even more.

I remember watching a video from the early 2000s that had a nightmare privacy scenario of someone trying to order a pizza, but then that person said nothing other than what they wanted and the people already knew his address, his job history, his health records and said that due to his latest health checkups if he wanted his double meat pizza they would need to pay additional, otherwise they would have to go with their health recommended vege pizza.

The video was made at a time when smart phones were a rarity and most people ordered food the old fashioned way… they called the place by phone, told them what they wanted and where they were , and paid for when it arrived in cash, since portable credit card readers were very uncommon.

Now we ARE in that situation, except for syncing medical records so that any company can use it. But we are going to get there soon enough, and it will be ‘for the children, you pedo! Also if you have nothing to hide then you have nothing to fear!’ Bullshit that for some reason everyone believes and will never question… even if they caught up in the system themselves for some bullshit reason they will never, ever connect the dots.

They dont care. They want people to be in line. Remember that tech bastard who said he wants to make AI pervasive and to force people to be on their best behavior? You think he’s talking about Jay walking and shoplifting? He is talking about political or economic protests and advocacy. They don’t give a fuck if murderers and armed robbers get away with their shit.

Look at what is happening in the UK. There are hundreds of arrests with their new law and basically all of them sre activists or people sharing information the genocide in Gaza. They then took fingerprints and DNA samples from them to enter into a database and they locked them up in jail for days.

Count dankula, a fascist youtuber in the UK only got a fine when he taught his dog how to do a Nazi salute and showed the video online. He never had to give fingerprints or DNA and never spent any time in a cell.

Let that sink in.

I asked chatgpt some spicy questions a long time ago (on the order of months), and it was about privacy questions and maintaining privacy online. I even asked it how to keep private from itself. I deleted that account many months ago and it was not immediately linked to my ‘real’ identity. I’ve also asked it some other spicy questions about stuff I won’t reveal here. Again. Months ago, and by it’s own admission if something is reported, it will be acted upon almost immediately. If something is super illegal (as in, I want to kill so-and-so individual) it not only reports it for immediate review but also reports the relevant law enforcement right away.

Chatgpt told me this.

The only way to use chatgpt if you must is with A: a throwaway email (must be reusable) such as those on darknet emails or something that doesnt link it to you by name (such as proton or tutamail). B: over the Tor network.

Osmand is great! For driving a car it is superior to Google maps. The only reason why I use Google for anything is because their public transport database is still superior. Once that is taken care of they can kiss my ass.

I only have a Gmail account because my dad made one for me back in 2005, when it was invite only…

That is reasonably priced. I have another year on my current phone before it is paid off. I armored it up like there is no tomorrow so it should last without a breakage.

I had a problem for years of buying cases and tempered glass for my phone since I had a phone break BECAUSE of those things.

I noticed that, and they are expensive.

I want to know, too. I got a Samsung s23 when my last phone suddenly died and I only then realized thar it wasn’t compatible.

Is it possible to use presaved GPS maps on it?

Also i wish I could install grapheneOS on my phone. But there are no options for Samsung S23s… or are there?

Good thing I stopped using MS WORD a long time ago.

I learned the hard way many, many, many times just what even a simple ‘hello my name is (name), and I am a (job title at company)’ to the wrong person that you’d think could not have had any negative consequences whatsoever ended up causing absolute hell for me. I’ve been robbed, lied about and had my reputation utter destroyed, been a victim of identity theft by people I knew personally, had my family stalked and harassed, and even had multiple hit and run attempts done on me by people actively stalking me. Not to mention how anything and everything I said, no matter how innocent it seemed absolutely can be twisted against you. And I mean ANYTHING.

And I did nothing wrong, nothing illegal, nothing shady. I just had people calling me antisocial and so I made conversation with them, talking about my day, my studies, what I ate for lunch… and fuck me you would not believe what people can do with simple information like that.

There is a reason some people clam up at even the simplest question posed to them by anyone. I did try to ask simple information about people above, even things as damn simple as what their (real) names were because apparently it turned out they didn’t tell me their real names and they got VERY violent the moment I probed into anything. The people who claim that ‘nothing to hide nothing to fear’ are also the most secretive people who absolutely will not allow anyone an inkling about themselves. This is why.

BTW you want to know how simple info like what ate for lunch can be used against you? I once said that I wanted to work at little overtime because I wanted to earn back the money I paid for an unplanned lunch…

Now you might say ‘how the fuck could that statement be used against you?’. Well the guy said I was acting unprofessionally and said I needed to run to the cafeteria to pay for a lunch I took without paying for it. Basically accusing me of dining and dashing.

Best part? Management believed him… they believed him despite the fact that I had WRITTEN that in a work chat and they presented the screencaps to me. I didn’t say anything during the investigation because… I have no idea what to say. I had already told people I was trying to save money by not buying lunch and also working overtime. But even that was interpreted as an insult by me against them because they thought I was calling them lazy and useless with money. They just kept making accusations like that, and while initially management said ‘wow that guy is an asshole’ they never dismissed what the others said. So after dozens of bullshit accusations my credibility just kept dropping and theirs rising.

And all of this could have been avoided if I simply refused to talk to anyone.

The phone I have now is half way paid off… I will say it. It is a Samsung S23. I didn’t want it. It is just my other phone literally died from a single drop of water! I won’t get into the details. But I want grapheneOS or the most private OS I can.

Right now I have been carrying my phone less than before. I used to take it even to grocery store trips, but I am just getting sick of the endless monitoring, even if I am a terminally online person. I literally cannot leave my apartment without being on camera since my landlord has all the corridors and exits/entrances on 24/7 surveillance.

I know that a phone can be tracked even when on a private OS. And the EU’s rules on wanting a copy of every single message sent out from all messaging apps (including signal) will still affect non-EU people, too. It fucking sucks.

That is murder. These fuckers should be spending the rest of their damn lives in a prison cell.

Yes. I saw a video on getting around Flock’s AI cameras and he mentions the numerous million dollar lawsuits that regularly result from misuse of their data and the glitches that cause people to have guns pointed at their heads by police.

It is a cost of doing business. Saying ‘I’ll sue you!’ To them is as threatening as charging someone a little extra for that order of coffee they made.

But what if you owned nothing and were happy about it?
