Seeing as the privacy-violating "age verification" nonsense expands to even Discord and TikTok now, I'm starting to feel that I have no other choice but to do the Luigi Mangione manuever so that authoritarian fucktards and enshittifiers will be finally shocked into moments of clarities.

There will be no ehrenlos violence against normal innocent people as the targets will be exclusively be bad people such as robbers who attacked me first. The beginnings of a manifesto has started and it will include many things such as the inspirations behind the yet-to-happen killing and complaints against Big Tech’s enshittification.

This is a follow-up to a post I've made on Reddit a few years ago.

Recently due to the worsening general situation in the world the intrusive thoughts in myself about "hurting bad people" has increased. While all the fantasies specifically exclude innocent people as targets, in the end it'd be equally terrible by most standards if carried out.

A fantasy is that if I am ever robbed by thieves in the streets or in home I would seek to overpower them and flip the roles, which obviously require sheer luck. But let's use the handwavium here and say that I pull it off; the first thing I would do is open up any livestream, blogs, emails, photo, social media websites I can find and disseminate demands against governments or companies to stop whatever unpopular decision they're doing or gonna do. For the latter think of Google's impending destruction of inactive accounts since I got some accounts there that I couldn't log into even though I know the correct password, due to "security issues".

I might give them around a week to comply and if they fail to comply, I might commit murder-suicide against my hostages and myself, with the expectation that SWAT teams by then would've surrounded where I am in.

I hope that this will not come to pass at all. I can think of some god from the machine solutions to get out of the predicament such as getting in touch with someone close to Google's high level like Sundar Pichai or Vint Cerf, or perhaps some political figures such as senators who could legislate to limit/stop practices such as indiscriminate destruction of inactive accounts which are unexpected side effects from digital regulation laws.

Now I'm sliding deeper because my country Malaysia has by now announced that they're going to enact privacy-destroying online age verification and ID laws which are going to heavily affect my bottom line, instead of more sensible measures like hand gesture verification which protect privacy.

Seeing developments like that happening across the world, including Australia, I have the urge to stop it whatever it takes. There will be no ehrenlos violence against normal innocent people as the targets will be exclusively be bad people such as robbers who attacked me first. The beginnings of a manifesto has started and it will include many things such as the inspirations behind the yet-to-happen killing and complaints against Big Tech's enshittification.

I've encountered a significant issue with my DNS resolution due to what appears to be a mandated DNS redirection implemented by my ISP. Despite configuring Quad9 as my upstream DNS server, queries were not reaching the intended endpoints. This behavior persisted even after verifying the correct IP addresses.

While I understand the potential rationale behind such a policy, the lack of transparency and communication from my ISP is deeply concerning. The claim that this redirection will enhance security is questionable, as it could inadvertently introduce vulnerabilities or compromise privacy. Furthermore, it raises red flags about potential government censorship efforts.

To mitigate these risks, I strongly recommend employing DNS over TLS (DoT) or DNS over HTTPS (DoH) protocols. These methods can help bypass the redirection and ensure your DNS queries remain private. If these options are not feasible, consider using a VPN service, such as Cloudflare's Warp.

Maxis, sent last month an SMS saying they will block SMSs with URLs and then, after the block has taken effect, they are sending me an SMS with URL which doesn't get blocked because it is conveniently theirs.

They'd be doing me a favor if they blocked those too!
