These people know the CWCwiki exists, right? I mean I was obsessed with CWC a little over 10 years ago, too, but I have long since lost interest in the whole matter.

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.

I am trying to install Private Internet Access (a VPN) on my laptop after transitioning to Linux mint on it and it won’t work. I downloaded the Linux version of the file from the site.

I will get the actual message later once I boot it back up.

This weekend I am fully ready to install Linux mint on my desktop.

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.

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.

I already transitioned my laptop to Linux mint snd I got no regrets. My VPN isnt installing on it, but i can manage it later.

This weekend…desktop time. I spent a lot of time making backups and making sure everything is in order. I’ll report on this very thread when I have done it.

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