If people could get paid for every time a coworker made an unfavorable comparison about them, the USA would collapse. Many work environments I’ve been in have been very toxic, with reports actually yielding more abuse or consequences (cut hours, unreasonable expectations going forward, etc). While the UK libel laws go a little far, we could definitely use that kind of culture of responsibility in the USA.

Neat. Never heard of it. I’ll take a look. One thing I read about was how Tor/Tails actually made itself more identifiable in some ways by having a “set” kind of user profile fingerprint (blank), and specific screen size/resolution and keyboard used. To actually pose as a real user, then spoofing a bunch of different hardware each time you turn on the OS/Browser seems like it would make you appear more authentic? That was a long time ago, maybe it’s being done already, or there is a reason they don’t that I do not understand. It seems like something they would obviously have thought of. At least in the US we aren’t using those kind of low resolutions as often anymore. When you say it’s based on tor, does it connect to the tor network? That always felt like a red flag for ISPs and spies to look deeper when connecting from say, a residential WiFi connection.

Haha, I do have a soft spot in my heart for trolling. That’s great. They’ve got money, I’m sure they can hire a therapist to massage their ego and make them feel like they’re a good person again. Unfortunately. Just once it would be cool if one of these billionaires/millionaires read something, woke up and used their money to help humanity instead of exploiting it buuut… probably not going to happen…

If you host the server it is. Which is really easy. Then you can do stuff to add security like adding an IP whitelist perhaps along with other things.

Just curious, why are you getting banned?

Mumble! You can host your own mumble server, I used to it for privacy over Discord. Getting people to use it is another challenge.

This is pretty scary. If something huge kicked off, who would USA support? I feel like Trump is just waiting for his opportunity (ie major war/attack) to declare martial law and extend his presidency past 4 years. I really hope I’m wrong.

Only issue is that you pay a higher price plus shipping, likely, from the manufacturer.
