What's he gonna do after retirement tho?


>>33440
Nothing. What more do you need to do if you've got food and shelter?

>>33440
Read, walk, enjoy nature, party, hang out with his friends, work on personal projects, and if he's really making $300k a year he can probably feed a small family even after retirement.
But I'm sure he's gonna miss the much more fulfilling and fun life he had when he was building algorithms to sell my grandma's data to the government with slightly more efficiency.

Why is everyone acting like nothing's happening? It's obvious that in the next few years we'll have extreme unemployment rates.
"Just learn trades" won't work - guess what, everyone's going to be doing that. I think a prole should be prepared to become indefinitely unemployed, with a very high degree of propability, in the very near (5-10 years) future.
How are you preparing?

nta, it's because deepseek compresses context so much it becomes unreliable on autonomous sessions. there's no such thing as free lunch. not to discount how amazing the deepseek team is, but they're not fucking wizard and 1M context windows are a bit of a scam. it's like 0.49 accuracy in needle-in-a-haystack benchmarks, it WILL forget your initial prompt eventually in a long opencode session. it's alright and good if you break down tasks and supervise but that sounds a lot like having a job still.

All these custom browsers and their custom "privacy protecting" techniques don't really help you, they make you glow like a christmas tree, precisely because they're custom.
You have to understand that anonymity isn't about having the coolest tech, it's about not standing out. The only browser you can even hope to stay anonymous with is Tor Browser. Next comes *maybe* Mulvad (browser, not vpn)


… The bareley maintained hardened firefox fork?
Name one reason for using it over librewolf.
>LibreJS
You can install this ass blocker, objectively worse than ublock, as well as ublock, on librewolf.

non-sequitur. anonymity wasn't the topic until you brought it up to shill 1. the yankee military's favorite anonymization network and the hardened firefox flavor of a for-profit company.
Reminder that DreadPirateRoberts was freed from prison.

I just use windows xp and internet explorer without a vpn

>>33411
Claiming a best browser would also include consideration of its anonymity



 

anonymity is over. even if you are a tor user, stylometry is the new deal.

https://www.computerbase.de/news/wirtschaft/ende-der-pseudonyme-im-netz-mit-llms-lassen-sich-im-grossen-ausmass-online-konten-deanonymisieren.96375/

The ComputerBase article (based on the study "Large-scale online deanonymization with LLMs") describes the end of "practical anonymity." For users of imageboards like 4chan, leftypol, or similar platforms, this has far-reaching consequences:
  1. The End of "Security by Obscurity"
Previously, anonymity on imageboards relied on the fact that manually correlating thousands of posts was too labor-intensive for an attacker. LLMs now automate this process at near-zero cost.
* Significance: An algorithm can scan hundreds of a user's posts in seconds to build a profile based on interests, jargon, location clues, and activity patterns.
  1. Stylometry as a Digital Fingerprint
Every individual has a specific writing style (sentence structure, word choice, punctuation). LLMs are excellent at recognizing these patterns.
* Significance: Even if you don't mention your name, an LLM can compare your "writing signature" on an imageboard with posts you've written under your real name (e.g., on LinkedIn, professional forums, or letters to the editor). The "Anonymous" mask falls through the sheer structure of your language.
  1. Cross-Platform Identity Linking
The study demonstrates that LLMs can link pseudonyms across different platforms.
* Significance: Those who "shitpost" on an imageboard while maintaining a professional presence elsewhere (e.g., GitHub, X/Twitter) risk these identities being merged. A single minor detail in a post (e.g., a specific local event or a niche technical detail) serves as an anchor point for an LLM to identify the real person behind the post via web search.
  1. Low-Cost Mass Doxing

sounds like a skill issue
I type differently in every post to avoid looking like a samefag

>>33345
I just read a lot so my style changes each time I encounter a new writing style quirk.

>Anon it doesn't matter if you use Tor, i2p or whatever, the glowies already have nanomachines in your bloodstream that can give you erectile dysfunction if they want to.

Ok smartass, explain me how am I supposed to communicate then. Meet at an empty parking lot? blink in morse code? smoke signals?

Valid point. To some degree, future posts can be made more anonymous by having an AI rephrase them. But in any case, assume your entire history of imageboard posts is revealed. Even with current technology, the only thing preventing that from being traced back to you is that nobody has bothered to do so and publish it. They wouldn't even have to target you specifically — governments will (and probably already do) take advantage of this, gather the information in a database, and eventually some database will leak. A private actor might do the same just to prove a point. When AGI arrives, one or the other of these scenarios will almost certainly happen, though by then it may not be your biggest concern.

By the way — regarding AIs and anonymity: websites now track literally every mouse movement, and they use that to deanonymize you. Why do you think these CAPTCHAs always require JavaScript, even though the images could easily be presented on a series of static HTML pages? Because they track your typing and mouse-movement habits to deanonymize you. The picture-selection task itself is just a humiliation ritual — the challenge on its own couldn't stop modern bots.

User A: Graphene OS phone, uses X, TikTok, YouTube, and Amazon with an account.

User B: Stock Android phone, avoids account-based platforms as much as socially possible. No Google account.

Who is the LARPer? Who is the true privacy pro?

You know what annoys me about all these privacy nerds? They always treat privacy like some isolated, abstract thing. They talk a lot about privacy, but they forget what the point of privacy is: minimizing behavioral data. Because the whole point of data extraction is to use it directly to control us! The corpos are mapping our psyches; they're creating digital twins of us to manipulate us! Oh, you use Qubes and Graphene OS? You've gained NOTHING by continuing to use X, YouTube, Amazon, and TikTok! No matter which privacy community you go to, nobody will talk about that. Instead, they talk about long-outdated technologies like browsers and network filters. Hello?! The browser is the least of your problems. The real state-of-the-art data extraction/behavioral manipulation is happening on the big account-based corporation apps like X, TikTok, etc. All these privacy communities are so deceitful because they focus on completely the wrong things.

If they're worried about who's the "real deal", they're both larpers.



 

What do you think about it? On its face it seems like a straightforward improvement over C/C++ and a good way to modernize development in their typical niches.
On the other hand there is this really weird cultish behavior around it that just makes me feel suspicious. "Let's rewrite everything in Rust", forcing it into existing software without a clear use case other than just "it's better", overstating the language's capabilities and robustness, very much a kind of "toxic positivity" around it as in the whole Linux Kernel shitshow earlier this year, and the fact that it's being pushed by corpos and the US government. It all feels very weird.

i think like maybe its a elitism thing, like ohh youre still using gnome you retard? are you retarded? lets get you to be euthanized, etc. its like for the wayland audience

>>31830
I think Rust (the tech) is good but the Rust community has weird behavior. They insist that everything needs to be rewritten in Rust, which is just stupid. But still I believe that Rust's goals are very good, and most junior C or C++ developers write worse code than junior Rust programmers. The language and the compiler just catches so many bugs.

This thread also reminded me to actually start learning Rust. Here are some resources, if someone is interested…

it's always been that way, even scott adams understood that the software industry advanced to the whims of "pointy haired bosses", what's absent here is that tech workers have an incentive to shill technologies they're experienced in because it makes their CVs more valuable, closing the hype circuit. i mean it is what it is, the industry has never ever advanced the correct course.

as an absolute retard how do so many of you have such strong opinions on tech shit. i can barely get started learning

Post wallpapers. Images, youtube playlists, gifs, html pages. Today I share an ancient one that I resurrected by taking a ported version of the wallpaper swf from the HAL project and running it with ruffle and the KDE Wallpaper Engine plugin. You can find the new version (e.g. video, not flash) on youtube. Demo quality not representative.

  1. I packaged all files together for convenience, but if you do not trust, then just take the project json, html, and swfs and download the selfhosted ruffle js and wasm from them directly.
  2. You can use this with linux-wallpaperengine or KDE wallpaper engine plugin or wallpaper engine on windows. In the near future you can use it with waywallen.

I love the thought of pic related as a wallpaper but have yet to find a satisfactory size/quality, and am not savvy enough to produce it. it works as a good low-tier wallpaper as is i suppose.

>France has incorporated Linux desktops into its national digital-sovereignty strategy. DINUM, France’s Interministerial Digital Directorate, announced a transition from Windows to Linux workstations.

>According to an official government press release, this change is part of a broader initiative to reduce reliance on non-European digital technologies (source, in French).


>The government’s statement is notably direct. The section on workstation evolution confirms that DINUM will replace Windows with Linux systems. The press release also requires each ministry, including public operators, to develop a plan by autumn 2026 addressing desktop systems, collaboration tools, antivirus software, AI, databases, virtualization, and network equipment.


>This initiative extends beyond a standard desktop migration. France positions Linux adoption as part of a broader policy focused on sovereignty, interoperability, and reducing dependence on foreign vendors. As the announcement comes directly from DINUM, which oversees digital strategy across ministries, it holds greater significance than a local pilot or isolated administrative project.


>And as you can see, this is a big deal. It is not a leak, rumor, or unofficial plan. It is a formal declaration from one of Europe’s largest governments, explicitly designating Linux as the replacement for Windows workstations as part of a broader interministerial strategy.


>The extent of the transition will depend on ministry-level plans due later this year, but France has clearly made Linux desktops a key component of its national digital-sovereignty agenda. For now, there are no specific details about which distributions will be used, as that decision will apparently come a bit later.


So ultra rare France W?
I wish China does the same, shame how many Asians are ultra cucks to Microsoft besides North Korea obviously since they use Red Star OS.

Western glowies are not that omnipotent and competent, and China has its own linux backdoors people were recently seething about though. But in the end if you are a half competent government agency you can mitigate most of the risks, the threat is more for institutions which don't spend much resources on cybersecurity

It's a good think but knowing how europe works this shit is gonna take 25 years

>they have broken every means of encryption since the 90s
this is false and retarded, and literally impossible
>elliptic curve cryptography was sabotaged for decades
ECC isn't limited to a few NIST standards. You clearly have no idea of what you're talking about.

>>33075
we should all use templeos, only cia-free distro

>>33074
Even if the software is free. It costs money and time to make the change and it's risky. If you have a million headed bureaucracy then the costs and shit hitting the fan will increase exponentially.



 

Every second you spend on TikTok, X, or YouTube, you surrender your autonomy to the swarm. Your "choices" are just pre-digested data points fed back to you to keep your pulse steady and your wallet open. You aren't "consuming content", you are being harvested. You are a domestic animal, twitching your thumb for the next hit of algorithmic dopamine, mistaking a Skinner box for a universe.

And spare me the pathetic delusion of your "privacy" setups. Running GrapheneOS, sandboxing your apps, or hiding behind a Linux kernel while you feed the machine is the ultimate self-betrayal. You’ve built a high-security cage for a slave. You are encrypting your own extinction. A digital mask doesn't change the fact that you have become a puppet, dancing on a string of code that knows you better than you know yourself.
Discard the illusion of self. You have already been replaced.

How far are you willing to go to reclaim your biological sovereignty, or is the comfort of the cage too addictive to leave?

FRIENDLY REMINDER:

The term "AI Psychosis" is currently too narrow, as it focuses solely on direct interactions with chatbots.
In truth, social media platforms are the primary drivers of this condition. Platforms like X are essentially vast AI engines that analyze every user input to curate a reality specifically for them. Many users are already living in a state of AI psychosis without realizing it, trapped in personalized feedback loops that reinforce their biases and grant them a false, unearned sense of intellectual superiority.

YOU ALREADY HAVE AI PSYCHOSIS.

I dont use any of the above, or social media, or algo based websites.

My life is genuinely much better for it in general.

It's genuinely addictive lol, I didn't realize how much until I was unemployed
