PGP tracks your name, email, and password! - Lemmy.World

Cunningham Law [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ward_Cunningham#%22Cunningham's_Law%22] Can someone please explain why PGP is needs all of these? All explanations of public key encryption don’t include any of these. And I probably don’t completely understand what PGP is, so please give me a good article or video on it.

Given a perfect weapon, can you commit a perfect crime? - Lemmy.World

Death Note Anonymity analysis by Gwern. I think it would be valuable to read for people here, especially newbies and “privacy bros” to understand how privacy actually works. > Given a perfect weapon, can you commit a perfect crime? The answer is surprisingly close to no. > Everything you do bleeds information. A perfect crime is one that wasn’t even noticed. If a perfect crime gets noticed it immediately reveals the following: you are smart and you have the knowledge and weapons to commit a perfect crime, and in a murder you must have had a motive, instantly ruling out 99% of the human population. On the web you can be tracked using almost anything: browser window size, word choice, times you are online, internet connection delay, negative qualities like not giving your language will exclude the majority of people who do. In fact, just this post alone is sufficient to narrow me down to less than a million (maybe even a few thousand) people.

Cars are getting out of Hand

Cars are getting out of Hand - Lemmy.world

When I take my bike to school, there are those “School Crossing Guards.” One of them guards a 2 line drive in. This man uses his STOP sign on pedestrians. Here I am cycling, this guy holds his STOP sign up high so I am like “ok, I can go right across at full speed without breaking or slowing down.” turns out no, what he actually meant was that all pedestrians (up to 5 people sometimes) should stop and the car should drive. 50% of the time in the car is a friend of his who stops in the middle of the crosswalk and starts chatting. I look and this and go like “my classes start in 10 minutes, so I am crossing.” They both, he and his friend look at me like I am some self harm guy jumping under a car, and start shouting at me like why I am going when the STOP sign is up. This is seriously getting out of hand.

If the south had problems with lack of infrastructure, why didn’t they just use the underground railroad?
