Internet PSA #1

For our first psa, I will start with the topic of location.

So what's the big deal with sharing your location? A lot actually.

So many of us have at least a friend or two that shares everything including where they are and where they're going. which seems harmless, right? Wrong!

To you, the close -or decently close- friend, it doesn't mean much. I mean what are you going to do with your friend's location? But what about the internet? That's where things can get not so safe.

Say, you post a picture of a route on a map you're going to take. You zoom it out and cross out the city names. seems good to you! but that location dot on screen is enough. Your city, and the part of it you live in can be found -and easily too!

Why's it important to keep your location secret? Because cyber stalking exists and is very hard to predict. And you don't want a cyber stalker to become an irl stalker.

What information tips people off? Well a lot of simple, little things so I would suggest you avoid posting:

Maps screenshots.

Street signs.

License plates.

Names of local businesses.

Landmarks.

Your town/city name if it's a small area.

Location data from photo geotagging.

and more.

You can protect yourself by refraining from posting personal information online, and to remove such data from images, preferably with an app for photo editing. I suggest ibis paint x if you're on a phone. Also make sure that you turn off geotagging.

That about wraps up our first ever PSA! Feel free to reblog and share.

See you next time, and remember:

Be safe while you browse!

Use Firefox! Really, it's great.

A lot of things are thrown at you or decided for you in this age of technology. Making the choices that you can make in your own interest is always a good thing. And, hey, personal agency!

Firefox is RIGHT there

Is your phone truly listening to you? Truth behind Ultra sonic cross device

Have you ever noticed tour dog barking at the TV for no apparent reason. Well in reality there’s one: Ultra sounds. All of your tech devices communicate together with them. And why is that? ‘Cause in that way they can transfer 10-20 bits of information in a range of 65ft(20m). It doesn’t seem much but it’s enough to send ads data from, for example, TV and phone. The downside is that it can’t be…

aaaaaand that's my cue to mute everything Deltarune related! I'm going to be away from social media until I'm done playing the game! I remember I got spoiled for Queen's design via Youtube thumbnail years ago and I'm someone who likes going as blind as they can into things!

Consistent “Progressives”: We’ve declared every single person who doesn’t agree with us on everything, including our extreme pro-contact ideology, as a conservative. And those people are acceptable to torture for disagreeing with us.

Anti-Contact Transharmeds: Okay. Go ahead lmao. Won’t make child rape any less abhorrent. Or make you less of a fascist roleplaying as progressive.

What's Fingerprint and how it's used to identify you

Concerns about how a website can identify you on more Websites. Well, I've got a solution to that!

When you browse the internet websites collects some data of your computer or mobile phone( your time zone, your screen size, canvas fingerprint, webgl…) and they use it to assign you a fingerprint. In this way they know who you are in more websites. You may be wondering:”How do I stop it?”. You’re here to find it out. I’ll do a version for Gecko browsers because they’re known for their security…

I see people very often sharing tips on how to avoid being scammed and I just sit here like… I’ll share it but how many times must this be done? how many times must this era’s internet children be reminded of internet safety? why doesn’t it sink in? are they doing it on purpose or?????? “I pressed a random link and and and be careful!” like problem number one was you pressing a random link. huh? I feel like there’s a million ways for someone who’s that tech savvy to avoid getting fucking scammed. it’s so confusing it’s so baffling. you’ve been on the internet since you were five or some shit but you can’t read an email address to figure out if it’s incorrect or not and then get scammed. are you kidding?? do you not read???? emails entirely???? do you not double check phone numbers by typing them on Google?????? hello??????? it feels like I’m talking to a brick wall

Pretty sure I’m going to start identifying as transanimalabuser. To help deal with my fantasies.

-But that’s wrong!

Why? It’s not like I’m going to be actually transitioning?

-I don’t care! You’re still normalizing harm towards animals!

Uh-huh. And tell me, what did you have for dinner last night.

-A cheeseburger

Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Got it.
