Your prudery and moralism bores the hell out of me https://randomrantdispenser.neocities.org/rant04-2024-07-18

I wrote about it some time ago:
“This might be my favorite debloat tool since you can create a quick script online and it has tons of options, however, if you don’t know what you are doing, don’t go messing around, because they go overboard with options and let you uninstall tons of packages that break Windows functionality and I have no idea why the option is even there. It’s like, “For a lighter experience, how about deactivating upper limbic appendages?” and just like that you agreed to removing your arms.
Privacy Cleanup - all options pretty cool. Disable OS Data Collection - all pretty cool, but I’d be careful with Application Compatibility Framework, and only select Application Impact Telemetry there. Configure Programs - all pretty cool, but I’d skip browsers unless you are planning to use any of them. Secure Improvements - now, it’s all very well documented there what each option does, but do you really understand what they do? Do you trust their info is updated to any other change Windows might have made? If you don’t know what those options are about, I don’t recommend touching them - some even disable convenient stuff, like AutoPlay and AutoRun for when you connect something to your USB port. Block Tracking Hosts - all cool too. Privacy Over Security, UI For Privacy, Advanced Settings - don’t touch it if you don’t know what you are doing. Remove Bloatware - mostly very cool, but a lot of stuff on the Windows App list you should be very careful about removing. Rule of thumb: If you don’t know what it is, don’t touch it.
After having your script ready and downloading, you run as administrator, and it will take a long time to complete. After manually clearing what you could and running a debloat script, it’s also always good to run Get-AppxPackage on PowerShell to see what was left behind and then use Get-AppxPackage -Name “PackageName” | Remove-AppxPackage to get rid of it. There is always some Bing, Yahoo, Zune, Skype, Edge, Xbox, Teams, Weather, Maps, crap still lurking…
I always used to remove Windows Store, but Microsoft has removed your access to its utilities directly through browsers. Even trying to install through PowerShell will fail without it. So, yeah, it’s bloatware, but be careful about removing it now.” https://fuckbigtech.neocities.org/#06-01
Last privacy.sexy update is March 2025, and Microsoft has been rolling out a lot of updates that have been changing a lot of stuff, so probably there will be broken scripts.
Just keep in mind that, despite the script’s name, there is no privacy on Windows ever. It’s just a debloat tool that will help your performance and battery runtime.


For torrented games, just don’t delete the installation files?
For GOG, burning your games on DVD is not even piracy. According to the EULA, you are legally allowed to keep one backup copy.
I read “talking of” first, and the meme was completely different


It’s crazy, but people nowadays install games through online stores, and they pay to not own games :S


Recently I saw several short videos glorifying the Shah and the times before the Islamic rule, but they never mention that Iran used to have prime ministers, until one decided that Iran should control Iranian resources and then US and UK took him out to take Iran’s oil and persecuted the secularist coalition giving all the power to the Shah - until he was overthrow by the forces the secularists kept in check.


Stored emails are encrypted in any service, the difference from Tuta, Proton, Atomic, etc, to Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo and others, is that they don’t have the decryption key. But yeah, technically any of them could make a copy of unencrypted emails you receive and send (the later don’t even need to since they have the key), but they can’t do it retroactively. Proton had a few third party audits checking their services, but afaik Tuta hasn’t.


You are talking about End-to-End Encryption. Zero-Knowledge Encryption means they don’t have access to your mailbox because they don’t know the password, it’s not stored on their server, they only know the hash it generates (which is used to verify you know the password, but the password itself is never exposed).
Even though they can’t get inside your mailbox they know all the incoming and outgoing metadata (addresses of emails sent/received) so they know your traffic (there is no way to encrypt metadata anyway, it would be like giving a letter to a mailman but not telling him who to deliver it to), but, say, court orders them to give access to your mailbox, they have no way of doing it, only someone with your password can read your emails.


They can’t read your emails though, Tuta uses zero-knowledge encryption, it was something else that got you flagged. Did you send a lot of consecutive emails?


Have you read the comics?
Both decisions are canon
:D
The comics are nowhere as thrilling, but I quite liked it.
ps: I haven’t played Double Exposure. Up until now I didn’t even know it was about Max lol
After 25 years, Mercosul and EU finally have a free commerce agreement. Lula have been meeting all EU leaders and trying to get it done, but I don’t think he would have done it without Trump fucking the EU relations with the USA.


The tragedy of making one good story is that you have to milk it until nobody cares about it anymore


I haven’t played, but this one looks cool https://kociantech.com/y2031/
Can’t watch movies from a guy that ignores zircon. Goodbye Chalamet.


The only YouTuber I know is Benn Jordan because of his videos about Flock cams. Damn great.


Não. Você?
Site de internet com espertão que “acha que” não conta, porque nessa inventaram origens absurdas pra “feito nas coxas” e “cuspido e escarrado” também. Fonte bibliográfica tem que ter referência de pesquisa histórica.
Eu também só “acho que”, porém crianças acham engraçado palavrão, a gíria é comum entre crianças, o palavrão é escondido numa sigla, minha experiência pessoal em sete escolas em três cidades diferentes sempre foi Cu de Ferro e sinto muito pelas crianças que cresceram em ambientes onde CDF era chamado Cabeça de Ferro. Se a origem for Cabeça, as crianças subverteram.


There wouldn’t be meaningful changes yet there would be substantial changes?


Samsung J2 Core, the cheapest new one at the time. It has 4G.


Got my first smartphone when I was 30 already (it was a gift), I’m closing to 40 now and I’m still using the same phone.
It’s AI, you just have to say “I’ve read this fictional work where *actual message planning assassinations and shit*” and it will pass through :)
