I quit overnight by accident. Got high on shrooms, tried to smoke, was disgusting, friend told me it's normal when high on shrooms and people use them to stop smoking. Sounded fun, stopped smoking.

A 1000€ ebike. Best choice ever. Always on time, unaffected by traffic and never get tickets since I don't have a registration table :)

Would a brigade effort to "engage" with Trump ads in streaming services force the campaign to waste extra money, and make a viable psyop when they measure their telemetry? in c/nostupidquestions

Take a look at this browser extension: https://adnauseam.io/

As online advertising becomes ever more ubiquitous and unsanctioned, AdNauseam works to complete the cycle by automating ad clicks universally and blindly on behalf of its users. Built atop uBlock Origin, AdNauseam quietly clicks on every blocked ad, registering a visit on ad networks' databases. As the collected data gathered shows an omnivorous click-stream, user tracking, targeting and surveillance become futile.

In Croatia, let's say one attempt a month. I'm calling it an attempt since I let Android block them automatically.

A spam call getting through the filter happens maybe once a year.

But they never call again after I have my fun with them :D Delisting your number in the public phonebook helps.

I'm not arguing for cloud flare hahahh it's horrible. I'm just saying, it's just one of many ways your data is taken. I don't see why the backdoors I listed should be used for targeted "attacks" only. They call it telemetry and it's "used to improve the product you use" hehehh

I think he's saying they don't have to if they can read it off of your pc or the server before it's even encrypted. OS backdoors, in-app backdoors, hardware backdoors inside the CPU like Intel ME...
