Are there any privacy communities remaining where you can say you’re using tor browser without getting attacked for being an “extremist” and paranoid just because you use tor browser or leaving phone at home?

I say this half jokingly, but after reading the rest of your post and a couple samples from your post history, I can tell you that “using the tor browser” and “leaving phone at home” is probably not why people call you paranoid.

You will get one update per year, and “only more often that that if there is a critical security fix”.

Here you go brother. Hope this helps.

It’s not impossible to analyze and test compiled binaries.

When they say such things, the are probably talking about the expected value, where those chances are taken into account, just like the number calculated in this article.

for some reason

it’s probably because the limit for the category of microplastics is “now widely defined as pieces ≤5 mm in size”.

Yes, at least their attempts at destroying privacy comes directly from the government.

That seems to be the opposite of what the others are saying: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autorun.inf#Inf_handling

Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows 10

For all drive types, except DRIVE_CDROM, the only keys available in the [autorun] section are label and icon. Any other keys in this section will be ignored. Thus only CD and DVD media types can specify an AutoRun task or affect double-click and right-click behaviour.[9][10]

You are remembering that the executable features of autorun.inf is disabled, which is still true. Autoplay (if enabled) as it exists currently only applies for discovered media file types and makes your default configured media player responsible for handling them. It would not be possible to execute arbitrary tasks unless you had an ACE exploit for the installed media player.

Any normal program can do that too.

GOG, because I don’t care about badges and achievements and other trinkets, but I do care about DRM

You probably discussed it because you were aware and interested in it, and your awareness and interest showed through in your other trackable habits outside of your chatroom. You only notice when they guess your interests correctly.

AFAIK there is no need to re-encode, since Youtube videos are stored and served in chunks anyways. The change is that they are now slipping in the ad chunks as if they were a part of the normal video chunk stream.

Here’s an image viewer example with 0 exposed HTML elements (all UI rendered through a single canvas) and 0 human readable code (all client side code compiled to webassembly bytecode). Trying to block unwanted content in this kind of site would be closer to cracking a video game or patching an android app.

slowly open it up to the point where you can actually install regular linux apps on it

The linux running Chrome OS is completely separated, by design, from the virtual machine that runs linux apps under Chrome OS.

The compile process was modified to decrypt and unpack the “corrupted” test zip file, which was actually a code patch, and apply said code patch before assembly of the final binaries.
