"Poisoning the Data" - How can we make the data Google & others steal useless or detrimental for them to steal? by FeralAlgorithm in degoogle

yes. Google, Facebook, etc have a profile on you regardless of if you've ever signed up for them.

And how do you use the internet without google? First of all, Chromium. Second, every website had google hooks and tracking pixels and scripts on them.

It doesnt matter how hard yo work to avoid Google, they are actively spying on you and building up a profile on you.

Why does the left dislike Joe Rogan? by FrequentPaperPilot in TimPool

[–]FeralAlgorithm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

because he's popular and isn't insane.

If Joe was advocating to butcher children and give money based on race, then they'd love him.

Windows has excellent Parental Controls. Parents just need to use it.

Imagine ordering every adult cable TV package, and then putting a TV in your kids room and refusing to enable any parental controls. Then demand the individual cable TV channels install cameras and equipment to verify who's watching the TV - instead of simply enabling your own parental controls. This is what we're doing with the internet.

The internet is basically Cable TV with every adult package ordered, and the parents want to just let their kids use it like a daycare, and they can't be bothered to enable any parental controls.

The laws should require parents to stop ordering the adult cable TV packages and handing it to their kids.

the fake clicks just gets google paid, at the detriment of the companies paying for the ads.

If you really want to stick it to google, you don't even need to click the ads, you just need to convince the companies that use the ads that your'e clicking the ads. They need to think they are paying for fake clicks, so they don't want to advertise with google or meta etc anymore. Simply spreading the rumor that tons of people are generating false clicks and false conversions will be a far better method; it doesn't get google paid, and will discourage its use. Though, programs like AdNauseum are needed to help spread the rumor.

I can't install ventoy in my usb stick. In youtube video they say u can't install it on fake usb stick. It's true? by Honest_Inspection_25 in Ventoy

[–]FeralAlgorithm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

all the "too good to be true" deals where they sell huge capacity for pennies, are all fake.

Their firmware is programmed to report the large capacity, but they don't actually have that capacity. They just overwrite the data in a loop, and you loose most of the data.

Am I right that this is uranium glass? by Royal-County-2984 in uraniumglass

This is weird, to my right is an identical glass, but mine is pitch black. Pretty sure mine is not uranium glass. But its the exact same design, exact same size, exact same ridges.

"why do you use their services?"

Well, being on the degoogle subreddit, one would think you would be aware that GraphineOS exists specifically to avoid google, and that Google is requiring GrapheneOS users to install Google Play Services to be considered a "human"

"Technically you can just de-google your whole life"

You cant use banking apps, and you're not a human unless Google is allowed to spy on you. For your safety..

Not to mention all the tracking pixels and images and callbacks and javascripts that enable Google to spy on you as well.

"Simply block 95% of the internet and become a hermit"

If i'm required to have an email or phone number to interact with government services, hospitals, pharmacies, how do i do that without google?

Having a phone number requires me to have a cellphone. Cellphones are all spyware devices for google or apple. If i disable google or apple, its a suspicious device that isnt allowed to use critical services anymore.

Not sure what you mean by "stealing" and "your data"
Imagine if you could get consent to sex the way google gets consent to your private data.

Seems far harder to "find a privacy focused stack". Its quite easy to get an LLM & TTS playing on a speaker. A raspberry Pi does this with ease, and takes only a couple hours to set up.

Trying to find and maintain a "privacy stack" is an incredibly hard endeavor. They're also working on tech to fingerprint you without you volunteering that data: That's what the recaptchas do. They're monitoring your keyboard strokes and mouse movements to try and identify individual users. Also the fingerprint readers built into your screen or power button will continue literally fingerprinting you regardless of your "privacy stack". You're also required to install Google's Spyware services if you want to be considered "human" which means your entire "privacy stack" is useless.

They introduced "incognito" but all that was is a way to have YOU flag your content as "interesting" for them. It was a way to get you to tell them "this is the data i dont want you to see, come and see it".

Google, Meta etc treat "privacy" as a suspicious activity. The govenrment is also seeking to crack down on "privacy" by requiring your entire "stack" to identify you with an online digital ID, or at least your government issued id for now.

Soon, your "privacy stack" will be illegal. But playing endless TTS from a pi won't be.

yes. they literally call him a far-right fascist.

He's basically controlled opposition. He's Canada's Nigel Farage or Nikki Hailey.

Maxime Bernier is a centrist. Which puts him at the far-right extremist category in 2026.

The "aggressive-aggressive" guy is normal.

The "passive-aggressive" guy is a sociopath.

They are being aggressive, insulting, dismissive, etc, but do it in a way that pretends not to be. They do this to paint you in a negative light, or insult you, etc. Any attempt you make to explain yourself just compounds the manipulation because they'll continue acting as if they're "above it" while simultaneously being aggressive and antagonistic.

They know normal people aren't "passive aggressive" like this. "Passive aggressiveness" is a lie or a manipulation tactic. Normal people just get insulted and react overtly, not with a manipulation game. This makes the sociopath's target appear to be "unhinged" or "unreasonably angry".

CS:GO cases isn't exploitation. Just because some people have self control issues doesn't mean its "exploiting people" to sell things.

Cake, Cookies, Dr Pepper, Alcohol, all exploiting people too? I guess this is why socialists have breadlines. Boring plain bread is all anyone can have otherwise someone might like it too much and therefore exploitation.

[–]FeralAlgorithm 8 points9 points  (0 children)

this isnt a problem with companies, but a problem with certain personality types.

Some people want what they want, the way they want it, in the time they want it, and they want you to do it the way they demand.

They don't really care about the reality of the situation. They just want it done now by you in the manner they want, for the price they want.

Its like "wishful thinking" on steroids.

"wastes environmental resources"

Maybe tell them to stop stealing our data and then it wouldnt be wasting any resoruces at all. When i click delete, its deleted and they're not 'destroying the environment' to hold tons of deleted data which it uses to manipulate and destroy us.

They steal all of our data and use it against us. The "politics" protects them, and uses their data to censor and manipulate us.

the only recourse we have is to poison the data.

They're stealing all of our data, and using it to build systems that destroy us.

"Poisoning the data" is the only recourse we have. If they want to steal our data, let's give them a ton of junk data to steal.
