Amazing clip you posted seven months ago here. Doesn’t seem like it could even be any better now.

Might have to make a new post about this:
How are there still cams if there’s been anti-piracy watermarks reported on since at least 2006?
Maybe the pirates never hit the same theater twice in a row… travel to different cities… only record at any given theater once every few years… then you’d need resources to catch somebody I’d guess.
I expect not all theaters can afford to send guys in with night vision goggles:
Maybe that’s outdated now since they can just throw up IR cameras:
Corrupt theater manager or shifty projectionist: no camera/security concerns, but still watermark concerns
Regular theatergoer: both camera/security concerns AND watermark concerns
Gutsy pirates out there!
This is the exact kind of thing I was hoping someone would chime in with. Thanks for the interesting info!
This is why I compose all my messages on an air gapped computer and send them out from my compound with couriers.
Interesting. Then I’m guessing you’d accept the time machine showed you the right outcome & would let the dems lose this election, but it would help them for the next/future elections?
COMMUNITY/MODS: want this post gone, it’s gone - would remove ASAP.
Please be excellent to each other here. We have to self moderate or I’ll delete without being asked. Assume good intent.
I’m pro human which is why I’d rather have some people in office here in the US than others, and why I’m pro human rights.
Trans rights are human rights.
After reading criticism of the dems, this question resurfaced in my mind. I know we don’t have time machines, I know it’s easy to claim a false equivalency is being drawn. So note this question doesn’t represent reality. It represents a curiosity of a hypothetical.
Trans rights are human rights! Thank you.
PS: I hope neither this post nor its comments represent/produce any content that bad people will use to make arguments to further evil causes. Have I already erred? Yes I’m worried, I’m also curious enough to hit this post button here… gulp

Imagine you have a time machine that lets you peek into the future, specifically the 2024 election. You can see two possible pathways:
Pathway 1: Democrats go all-in on trans rights.
They champion inclusive policies, fight for trans healthcare, and actively challenge anti-trans legislation. However, this galvanizes the opposition and they lose the election.
Pathway 2: Democrats stay completely silent on trans rights.
They avoid the issue entirely, focusing on other policy areas. This strategy helps them win the election, but trans rights are left in a vulnerable position.
The question is: which pathway would you choose?
Would you prioritize a Democrat win, even if it means sacrificing progress on trans rights? Or would you fight for trans rights, even if it means risking a loss?

Hey friends,
I'd like to:
- Register for a social media account under a client's company name
- Research the presence companies in the client's industry have on the site
- Have a reasonable assurance the account will not be linked to my real name nor my network
- Use a VM for 10-30? hr/mo, short term
I am:
- US West Coast based
- Tech savvy but don't code (unless copypasta)
- Price conscious
- Privacy conscious in terms of social media companies linking my account and my identity
Assumptions and Understandings
Given the complexity of fingerprinting techniques, I am under the impression logging in to a remote computer and doing all this work from a browser there has one of the highest likelihoods of success. I'd measure success by not getting spammed with work-related ads, whenever I have to disable Ublock Origin at least. It seems likely a social network will know I'm using a remote desktop (based on IP and loading time/delays), but seems difficult for them to understand who exactly is using the cloud machine if I only use it for a singular purpose. I would hope data brokers aren't efficiently tying VM usage back to VM leasers.
I understand a VPS isn't typically suited for GUI usage, and VPNs can leave me more vulnerable to fingerprinting.
Finally, it looks like most of the low-end cloud PC options would support web browsing at a reasonable speed.
Questions:
- Have I betrayed any misconceptions?
- Is a cloud PC one of my best options, and if so:
- Can you recommend a provider and specs?
- Is there anything I'm missing?

Too cheap to be true? Requires some agreement...

Yay Amazon. Inexpensive.

Priciest option.

A little guy!
Thank you!
This will always work with a LLM.
IDK, plenty of defenses I couldn’t break:
Can any of you break top 5? :)

Absolutely cherry picked. Let us know if you peruse the source:
Without cherry picking… imagine these will be resized to the point of illegibility:
It’s like they’re ignoring the pixel I captured in the bottom left!
Really interesting analogy.
Also I imagine most anybody who gets a photo labeled will find a trick before making their next post. Copy the final image to a new PSD… print and scan for the less technically inclined… heh
Read about those DCP drives! Maybe cammers are just burning theaters one by one and careful not to return for a long time if ever.
A theater operator doing the recording would be wildly risky it seems unless watermarking has been defeated. Visual and audio watermarking perhaps.
Seems like they’re very comfortable with applying watermarks at least for those betting sites!
