In just 30 seconds, the video sprints from one unlikely scenario to another: a pot-bellied partier cradles a Chihuahua; a bride flees police on a golf cart; a farmer luxuriates in a pool full of eggs. Oddball details fill the screen, like a sign reading "Fresh Manatee."
"Kalshi hired me to make the most unhinged NBA Finals commercial possible," the video's creator, P.J. Accetturo, said on X.
The Kalshi ad had a high-profile debut, appearing in the YouTube TV stream of Game 3 of the NBA Finals on June 11. That placement, and the over-the-top content, might suggest weeks of work by a team of ad agency creatives, film crews and actors at far-flung locations. But Accetturo says he used AI tools instead, taking just two days to create an ad whose tone flits between internet memes and Grand Theft Auto.

People working for Israel’s security services who speak Persian, Iran’s primary language, called senior Iranian officials on their cellphones and warned them that they, too, would die unless they ceased supporting the regime of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran’s supreme leader, according to the three people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss clandestine operations. One of them estimated that more than 20 Iranians in positions of power were contacted.
The Washington Post obtained an audio recording and transcript of one such call, which took place the same day, June 13, that Israel began its bombardment of Iran.
“I can advise you now, you have 12 hours to escape with your wife and child. Otherwise, you’re on our list right now,” an Israeli intelligence operative told a senior Iranian general close to the country’s rulers, according to the audio recording. The operative then suggested that Israel could train weapons on the general and his family at any moment. “We’re closer to you than your own neck vein. Put this in your head. May God protect you,” he said.
Yeah, terrorist will terrorize and commit war crimes because why not. Who's going to stop them?! Are we surprised Israel is acting terrible, again. They are a terrorist nation trying to bulldoze their way across the Middle East. They should not be trusted or funded by the multicultural immigrant nations of the West. They want ethnic cleansing.
Yes, every application has access to everything. The only exception are those weird apps that use the universal framework or whatever that thing is called, those need to ask for permissions. But most of the apps on your PC have full access to everything.
And Windows does collect and upload a lot of personal information and they could easily upload everything on your system. The same of course applies for the apps as well, they have access to everything except privileged folders (those usually don’t contain your personal data, but system files).
There are an infinite number of programs that could do this. Will they? Probably not.
Best thing is to install a trustworthy personal firewall, and block all outbound network access for all processes, and then enable as needed. This won’t stop Windows itself, but it will give you a heads-up if something else is trying to send data somewhere and you can make an informed choice at the time.
Buddy, given your relatively basic questions and how you're posting to every single fucking vaguely relared community, I would highly suggest you do some studying on just... basic computer concepts and how to use them. Not sure what resources are out there anymore, but maybe some basic "these are the parts of a computer, these are programs and how they work" stuff from the 90s. They used to do middle school classes on how to properly use google and other seaech engines to find trustworthy information for citing in research papers. I seriously suggest you start there.
Then, after you understand the basics maybe you start trying to understand how all of that works in regards to security and the concept of trust in the software you install and run.
Spoiler alert: Computers are not designed with any sort of "zero trust" architecture like you seem to be shocked that they don't have. Things are not sandboxed, segmented, or otherwise prevented from accessing other stuff as a general rule.
This is why one of the bare minimum basics is "don't run anything you don't trust".
Yes, in theory any program, including Windows itself, could upload data to the Internet if not blocked.
Windows can be restricted by a network firewall. Programs can be restricted by filesystem permissions and the OS firewall, and not running them as admin.
But is this happening? Unlikely, unless you have malware. You can inspect your traffic.
As for restricting access to files you could run them under a separate user account. User A shouldn't have access to User B's home folder. Although if its something that would need granted admin access I think it would have access to other users files again.
Well, that is fair. Those anti-cheats are in user-land on not-windows. Don't think I have given admin permissions to any game, including those with Easy Anti-Cheat, etc.
I'm still surprised Microsoft allows those to exist. Particularly for something as mundane as games.
It's kind of buggy where I'll enter characters but they won't register. I can verify this because when booting, sometimes my num and caps lock keys will have a delay after pressing before their light changes.
This is very annoying when trying to unlock the computer, because I essentially have to wait an arbitrary amount of time before I think inputs will register properly. This wouldn't be as much of an issue if I could, you know, get some feedback that they keys I'm entering are actually being entered.
Is there a way to change this to suit my needs better?
I changed my mkinitcpio hook from the busybox initencrypt to systemd init sd-encrypt to help with this, as it presents a different way to unlock a LUKS partition. Be sure to read the notes about sd-vconsole if you use this hook. Your mileage may vary since im not sure which OS you're on.
In whatever centos uses for a prompt, it says "press tab for echo", and it works. You'll need to provide more info about your environment if you don't have that option.
I now have a couple of pairs of glasses with varieties of purple frames. Naturally, I also got a purple (sort of) watch band as well.
[side note – I am now a big fan of IOLLA, a Scottish brand, who made one of the pairs I’m now wearing regularly – they have brilliantly-designed clip-on sunglasses too]
I’ve also taken advantage of Framework’s new translucent purple laptop accessories, and have added a bezel and a couple of USB-C expansion modules in that colourway.
Working on being fully on-brand – new transparent purple bezel for my #FrameworkLaptop (and some transparent purple expansions too, not visible from this angle).
Oh, and I made a GNOME Shell user theme that uses the brand colours, with a little SVG Fediverse logo for the app menu, configured using the ArcMenu extension). On a more technical side, I also made some small tools to create LibreOffice and macOS colour palettes out of lists of colours in text files. One hundred percent connected to the fact that I wanted to use the right colour scheme in documents and presentations 👍

What is the difference between Chameleon and JShelter? - Chameleon – Get this Extension for 🦊 Firefox Android (en-US) - Chameleon is a WebExtension port of the popular Firefox addon Random Agent Spoofer. - JShelter – Get this Extension for 🦊 Firefox Android (en-US) - JShelter is a browser extension to give back control over what your browser is doing. A JavaScript-enabled web page can access much of the browser's functionality, with little control over this process available to the user: malicious websites can uniquely identify you through fingerprinting and use other tactics for tracking your activity. JShelter aims to improve the privacy and security of your web browsing. - Like a firewall that controls network connections, JShelter controls the APIs provided by the browser, restricting the data that they gather and send out to websites. JShelter adds a safety layer that allows the user to choose if a certain action should be forbidden on a site, or if it should be allowed with restrictions, such as reducing the precision of geolocation to the city area. This layer can also aid as a countermeasure against attacks targeting the browser, operating system or hardware.
JShelter seems to spoof info by controls the APIs provided by the browser? and Chameleon spoofs user agent and many other information.
To me both seems to serves the same purpose of spoofing. Is Chameleon spoofing without interfering with js and JShelter spoofing with interfering with js the main difference between them? In addition JShelter seems to be able to block malicious js
How JShelter and Chameleon achieves spoofing differently?
JShelter isn't mainly for spoofing, it's about blocking a bunch of potentially harmful advanced javascript features, often used for tracking. Any spoofing is mostly to keep sites working with the missing javascript features.
I have it installed on one of my browsers. I wouldn't recommend using it unless you're willing to tweak the settings for new sites you visit, because I've had it break sites pretty often with the default settings.
thank you for your information, would you say JShelter does everything Chameleon do (including spoofing) so that if I use JShelter I don't have to use Chameleon?
I haven't used Chameleon, but it seems to do some stuff like change the user agent that JShelter doesn't do. I'd assume it's more useful to get around a site designed for a specific browser or operating system.

My understanding is that Iran gave several states, including the US and Qatar, advance warning of their attack. Iran expected that none of their missiles would hit their targets.
You would be correct. Its kinda weird and honestly annoying that Iran keeps taking the high road in its conflicts with imperialists. They are just going to keep getting stepped on.
This is going the end the Hezbollah way. Iran took massive losses in their leadership. If they tap out now that Israel is out of interceptors they will go down in the future when Israel keeps doing this again and again.

Can someone explain why all the downvotes? I've always been of the opinion that the more plugins you have, the more identifiable you are, so if that is the reason for the downvotes, I'd understand.
Edit: It seems the extension requires access to all websites, which allows it to monitor and modify data from any visited site
I think there might be a bit of misunderstanding about what those permissions mean. The extensions just need to be able to "see" the contents of a web page in order to be able to hide ads, change font & background colors, edit URLs, or redirect resource requests. There is no other way for them to perform those functions unless they have permission to read the original data presented by websites you visit.
Can someone use their words to explain the distaste for the addon that the downvotes on this and crossposted communities seem to represent? Is there something bad about the extension?
I edited my comment here, but the privacy concern with Chameleon stems from its ability to access and modify data on all websites. This access is necessary for the extension to function, as it needs to alter the user agent and other browser settings. Obviously not great when on secure websites.

One of the things I've seen mentioned before is that installing too many extensions can make you more unique, and thus have a negative influence on your fingerprint. This got me curious, how exactly do sites detect which extensions you have anyway? Can they outright read your list of extensions?
Furthermore, do all extensions make you more unique? I guess the answer would depend on the answer to the first question (surely, if they can just outright see your list, then the answer would be yes), but lets say you install something that seems rather innocuous, like Transparent Standalone Images, for example. Can a site see that this is installed / does it make your fingerprint more unique?
explanation
Web sites do not have any way to enumerate or query your installed extensions, and they cannot directly "see" the content scripts injected by extensions. However, some extensions do modify pages in a way that scripts in the page could recognize as being the work of a particular extension, assuming the owners of the site care to research and check for such things.
One particular issue is that an extension may insert a path into the document to a page or image in the extension itself. Firefox assigns a randomized UUID to the extension at install time, and the path uses this UUID. On the plus side, this may prevent the site from associating the URL with a specific extension. On the minus side, at least in theory, a site could detect this weird URL in the page and use that for fingerprinting. See: How to prevent fingerprinting via Add-on UUID?.
Web pages are not allowed to list your extensions. They can indirectly surmise you have certain extensions based on how your requests differ from expectations. For example, if they have advertisements, but your browser never actually makes any requests to load the images, CSS, JS or HTML for the advertisements, they can deduce you have an ad-blocker. That’s a datapoint they now have to ID you: “has an ad-blocker”
Now let’s say they have an ad they know AdBlockPlus allows, but uBlock Origin doesn’t. They see your browser doesn’t load that ad. Another datapoint: “Not using AdBlockPlus”.
Based on what requests go back and forth between your browser and their servers, they map out a unique fingerprint.
everything you do to customize your browser makes your browser fingerprint unique. but you have a mostly unique fingerprint due to things you arent considering as well. system related stuff that your browser tells about you.
you have some options. 1) there are addons that limit privacy issues, 2) use a local web proxy, im using squid proxy for example just have it running on an old laptop. Optionally, I would also say, from a privacy standpoint look into DNS blackholing pihole, unbound, etc, and there are plenty of other things.
my favorite addons are ublock, privacy badger, i run noScript which is probably more painful than most are willing to put up with but I have heard that jShelter is a good compromise.
The problem with hardening your system is that you become more identifieable unless you provide fake data. For example, here are my test results from coveryourtracks.eff.org
Within our dataset of several hundred thousand visitors tested in the past 45 days, only one in 2054.58 browsers have the same fingerprint as yours.
Couldn't we use this information to provide a fake fingerprint for the browser? Like a plugin that makes your browser read as being from an unmodified Chromebook?
Yes, you can give fake info. I would say thats kinda the next step. Harden your browser and associated tech stack so you are secure. Then provide fake data that is generic enough so that it blends in. firefox or chrome standard agent, windows 11, etc.

United-Statesian directly voted for this. US foreign policy is controled by the president or at this point king. It might not have been every United-Statesian, but it is on them. Well over 50% country still support ongoing genocide.
So yes, United-Statesian are not the same as US, but the damage done is theirs to carry for decades to come.
For ongoing genocide, I agree. She did hire the same Biden "strategists" that sank her campaign. Food aid is a different question. I do believe she would have allowed aid and wouldn't have vetoed multiple resolutions at the UN. Not because she would have cared but to continue promoting the fake idea that "US are humanitarians".
Because this is not even talking about ongoing genocide. But basic food being blocked by US veto in the UN. See the vote universal-rights.org/vote-deta…
Israel and United States at the bottom. Since Israel doesn't have as veto power, US did it for them.
Again, they can't the entry point is blocked by Israel.
They can airdrop supplies.
Again, they can't as Israel controls the air space and given orders to shoot down anyone.
Why would it be declaring war to aid Gaza?
Again, it would require force to break the blockade, which is a military action against another country, which requires declaration of war. Unless you US of course, and then laws are meaningless.
Care to spell it out, what Hamas does with that aid?
As were said many times by UN who distribute the aid, there are no evidence of Hamas stealing it. So far they weren't proved wrong.
Cindy McCain, the head of the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP), refuted on Sunday allegations that Hamas is stealing food aid going into Gaza, and took issue with the use of the term "looting" to describe civilians who effectively steal what…
