I’d write a list of future events and share it everywhere I can, editorializing of course to make sure them coming to volition validates my political views, and then use the eventual fame to shape the world in my image.

Ignoring that path, and with no political sway of my own …

I’ve got nothing. I’d be like 5 years old and Australian. And overall Australia’s doing pretty fine. If there’s one issue I’d focus on it’s digital privacy and my biggest adversary there would be Google. IDK, there’s not really one domino I can affect to change things. Maybe warn about 9/11 and the subprime mortgage crisis but I’m pretty sure other people already did both of those to no avail. Plus I’d be 2 or so years old at the time of 9/11 so that’d probably not go well.

And KDE is predominately German.

Finally, something decent to come out of the surveillance state.

I tried that, Windows FOR SOME FUCKING REASON keeps opening new holes in the firewall anyway.

I don’t even know what it does.

Why do people use PopOS? I genuinely don’t get it.

Fedora Kinoite is, probably, the best recommendation.

I’m not really interested in maximum privacy, at least right now. I’m slowly moving there though.

Debian is a stable server distro, but in the desktop space users expect everything to just work and while Fedora is usually backwards compatible, Debian isn’t always forwards compatible.

As for security updates, IDK.

I’m operating mostly of second-hand information I vaguely remember, I’m not an expert on these things so I’m not really the person to be discussing this with. There’s surely a reason Linus uses Fedora over Debian though.

I don’t see many ads, and the ads I do see are never food items. I think this canned rambutan was the first food ad I’ve seen in years.

I can’t even fathom this being a coincidence.

Except the only sites I visited where I mentioned rambutan were Duckduckgo, Startpage, and Wikipedia.

This isn’t a matter for fingerprinting. I haven’t directly visited any sites about rambutan other than Startpage, Duckduckgo, and Wikipedia.

I should’ve known that but forgot. You’re right, my ISP shouldn’t be able to see anything but that I visited Wikipedia. They wouldn’t know that I searched for rambutan.

And it also could not. Either way it wasn’t active at the time so it’s down to whether my ISP is selling it.

1. I have Freetube installed but I found no reason to really use it when I have this browser extension and adblock (though I don’t have one enabled for YouTube so I have no idea why I’m not seeing ads). I can probably do what Remove YouTube Suggestions does with Tampermonkey or Violentmonkey anyway so I might switch.
2. Didn’t realize Tampermonkey wasn’t open source. I’ll look into it when I can eventually be bothered.
3. I can’t use a Passkey on my phone. GrapheneOS doesn’t support passkeys.
4. Piracy isn’t worth the hassle to me, though it’s not like Crunchyroll has been much better lately.

Firefox only stores the time of my most recent visit so I don’t have that information anymore, so let’s just assume I went to YouTube immediately afterwards.

If my exit point is my ISP, and my ISP is selling my data to advertisers (hypothetically), then a VPN would make a difference. That’s why I mentioned it.

AdGuard, ProtonPass, TamperMonkey, Time Tracker, and 10ten have those permissions. The others don’t. I don’t think any of these extensions would be able to function without these permissions.

I use AdGuard rather than uBlock Origin for adblocking, because it allows me to opt-in and only block ads when they are aggressive enough to be annoying. But I’ve not been trying to minimize fingerprinting. The issue is just that everything I used in this instance came with either a tacit or explicit promise not to track me and I don’t know which is lying.

Other extensions I use are:

1. Remove YouTube Suggestions
2. 10ten Japanese Reader (just now disabled)
3. Tampermonkey
4. Proton Pass (because my government services require 2FA, but only offer an official government app that uses the play integrity API, or a Passkey which is only natively supported on Windows or Mac)
5. Time Tracker - Web Habit Builder
6. Improve Crunchyroll (which seems to have stopped Crunchyroll from forcefully dropping my resolution to 144p).
7. SteamDB (just now disabled)
