@SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone @CoderSupreme@programming.devSome digital cameras and phone cameras can also embed the GPS coordinates in the pixel data so that even if you delete the EXIF metadata the GPS location and device serial number are still present in the image. Many document printers also embed device serial number and other data on printed documents by using nearly invisible dot encodings.

@ItsComplicated@sh.itjust.worksForty years ago police had to have a basic level of intelligence and they investigated. Now some of them just rely on arm-twisting and plea bargain threats to find any patsy they can to stuff in a cell. They can have no crime, no complaint, no witness, no evidence, and still arrest you, and the D.A. will offer you a plea deal for something that didn't even happen. Your public pretender defense lawyer will tell you to take the deal. Don't laugh... it can happen to anyone.

@match@pawb.social @CoderSupreme@programming.devWhat should you do about surveillance technology? Ask a Amish hacker!

Then just buy whole grain from the farmer or mill and grind your own flour right before baking.

No easy way at all. The specs would be in-house manufacturer docs. Recall that digital cameras used to embed date and time visibly in images in a corner. The logical progression was to embed other data such as device serial number, geotag data, etc.Regarding the schemes for steganographic identification in devices such as cameras and printers, this information is usually kept a trade secret. The Secret Service would probably already have the spec docs for data hiding. Many manufacturers already have working agreements to provide back door assistance and documentation for the hardware surveillance economy. Ink chemistry profiles are registered with the Secret Service. The subterfuge is to 'investigate counterfeiting' but it is also used to identify whistleblowers and objective targets by their printer serial number or ink chemistry, or the data embedded in any images they are naive enough to publish.If you are a undercover reporter secretly video recording, unbeknownst to you the video could have metadata encoded using a secret scheme. If you registered that product for a warranty, or bought it online and had it shipped, or paid with a credit card or check, or walked beneath the electronics store cameras without a hat and sunglasses to pay cash, it is easy for the state organs to then follow the breadcrumbs and identify the videographer.Almost all 'free' wifi hotspots offered by chain restaurants and hotels are logged with the data being stored indefinitely, showing your mac address. It takes only a little bit of investigation and process of elimination to find the user on a camera feed history, to see who was connected when a certain message or leak was sent. If you use a wifi hotspot in a McDonalds, Wendy's, Starbucks, etc. smile for the surveillance camera which will also have your device's unique MAC address in the wifi history. This MAC address data is automatically sent to a central station, for example at the Wandering Wifi company, and God only knows how long they store it.None of this nonsense makes anyone safer. These people hate us.

The court system in USA is absolutely and irredeemably corrupt. Many prosecutors in USA are vile criminals and most of them belong in prison themselves. They have no respect for the Constitution or Bill of Rights that they are by law subscribed and sworn to uphold. They will use bogus criminal charges to affect or chill the outcome of an unrelated civil matter, to 'shut you up' in street parlance. People think America is free. It is an authoritarian hell run by delusional nutters. People like to scoff at that, until it's _their turn_ to ride the courthouse railroad.

@grunfink@comam.esWhen I use the toot command line client with snac it will not scroll to load any more messages past the most recent 40 statuses. I think this started happening a while back when snac was hacked to play nice with toot.The way to replicate is to start up toot and scroll, then reach the 40th status, after which it will not load any more statuses when used with the snac server.Where should I look first to troubleshoot?

@grunfink@comam.esI concur with options 1 and 2. Reason: would enable vertical masonry layouts with flex or grid so that 3-6 colums of posts can be displayed, depending on screen size, vastly improving the scroll-through experience. See here for the direction I'm hinting at: https://neon.nightbulb.net/firefly?skip=33&show=33 ... and if you scroll a bit you'll see what I mean.If the block content could be collapsed or truncated to certain length by default with a ... more ... link, one could quickly buzz through a weeks worth of posts.The nice thing is that flexbox allows using calc to adjust the height of each cell so that vertical height of elements can vary and will get gaps smushed together with that uneven block size vertical masonry look.Also, it would allow cool horizontal scroll arrangements using anchor tags to swipe. I remember many years ago how some websites were designed to scroll horiontally with buttons and links anchoring to sections. Maybe some expert theme designer would have fun cooking up a new rendition of that method ...
