   It's going to be impossible to be anonymous on the internet, specially now that everyone is feeding everyone's data into an LLM just because "it's cool". But there are ways to circumvent most of the limitations.
   
   Your way to stay anonymous and out of the radar starts even in real life. Avoid any clearly defined patterns in your daily activity as much as you can. Don't go to buy groceries at the same place at the same time every day. Go different places at different days and times. Don't buy the same things over and over. Don't walk the same way home after work/school, take different paths randomly. Specially if you live in a place with cameras.
   
   In the digital world, always live two lives. In one life you are a normie. You have a regular android phone, you use Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Whatsapp, whatever. All seems normal, there is nothing weird. There, you always love your life, you enjoy the products you consume, you like the places you visit, and you're a wonderful person. The most average person ever seen.
   
   But then you have a custom built computer where you ditch all of these services, you don't use Windows or Apple products, you have cryptDNS, you have Tor, and you only use decentralized services that you possibly host and control all by yourself and where you show your true self, always under a pseudonym. You never mention anything about yourself, like your age, location, or work. And you avoid giving hints about these as much as possible.

     I think even if they solidify their chokehold on the normie internet, basically every working IT professional is going to have know-how to access unmoderated and alternative platforms, because there is perfect overlap of the skills required.
     
     And I'm not sure it will even get to that point, because there appears to be pushback against the Microsoft TotalRecall9000 Skynet Edition. Normies are like "fuck, I need a Ubuntu dongle, pronto!"

     @KuteboiCoder @enigmatico its really weird that 2024 is the year that powerful institutions straight up glue their balls to their buttholes* and then the public actually tells them to eat soap instead of just putting up with it.
     
     * its a song.

     With the start of the Palestine protest era, it seems like the Liz Cheneys in the beltway are trying harder to reelect Biden then the progressive left is.
     
     As a wise man once said, "we'll see what happens"

     @KuteboiCoder @enigmatico the control grid is certainly setting its hair on fire with kerosene at this rate.
