previous self-immolators have been thoroughly ignored
Arguably a self imolator ended the war in Vietnam. He absolutely got the ball rolling.

I’m not saying they can’t track you. I’m saying the person who told you that they’re not doing it by MAC was right, and your reply was not only wrong but painfully self righteous for a guy who doesn’t know what he’s talking about about.
Also, changing your IP, clearing cookies, and installing a plugin that obfusticates your browser fingerprint ought to be enough. The second two are essentially what you did by blowing out your OS.
Still annoying but an improvement
Sure, and all of that goes out the window on a mobile app that doesn’t play by browser rules.
This has nothing to do with browser rules. It’s how tcp/ip works.
And 96% of reddit is on mobile
And 100% of phones have a unique hardware ID visable to any app with the “read phone state” permission. Why the hell would anyone use a MAC address to identify you? And which MAC address would they use? The wifi nic? The mobile nic? The Bluetooth MAC?
Idk about iPhones but MAC addresses on android are randomized by default. Maybe learn even the tiniest bit about what you’re talking about before you go calling people naive.
That’s not naivety it’s a basic understanding of how networking works
And fewer people quoting entire Simpsons episodes at each other line by line
That’s a great idea
I’ve never been in a spray paint section at a store where people hadn’t opened the cans and painted all over everything. Perhaps that has something to do with it.
You would not. In the example given 169.254.1.1 doesn’t even exist, no machine is listening on that address so it couldn’t possibly do any good if it wanted to
Setting the default gateway is unnecessary for a network of peers that are already on the subnet. It can only lead to problems as the hosts try to send every request outside their network to 169.254.1.1, which doesn’t even exist in this scenario
The poster you’re replying to is suggesting a static IP in the apipa range, not an apipa assigned ip. You’d already know a static IP because you set it yourself.
Tesla could get away with musks behavior if the product was good. It’s not, it’s overpriced and regularly scores amongst the lowest in reliability and build quality.
Sure they do. I can make whatever criticisms of the government that I want and they can’t prosecute me for it. Look how Russia and China handle online criticism.
It was a server for an irl streamer so I expected it to be toxic. I did not expect that level of toxicity. A bunch of untreated sociopaths.

I reported a server where the users harassed, both online and offline, a trans woman who later killed herself. Then they made memes about her death. Discords ‘safety team’ suggested I talk to the server admin (who was part of the abuse) and closed the ticket.
It’s entirely possible he’s committed treason running twitter. This ain’t it though. Social media sites can ban anyone they want for any reason, or no reason at all. Calling things treason that aren’t treason waters down the word. It should be reserved for actual treasonous activity, like Jan 6.
Temporarily suspending a social media account is a pretty loose interpretation of treason wouldn’t you say?
Damn, I created a minor niche meme. And my teachers didn’t think I’d amount to anything
Fine. Why would it? The device has a unique hardware ID that’s even easier/better for identifying the device. MAC addresses are randomized, and there’s at least 3 of them in any modern phone. Seems overly complicated and ineffective.
