Oh there’s several ways, especially if you have poor opsec. People used to raid people’s twitch accounts and bring down their internet connections by looking for their username on Skype which had a vulnerability which they could use to find a person’s IP.
For swatters on the otherhand, they tend to either know the streamer themselves or they tend to be groups like KiwiFarms who are a lot more organised and do a lot of research and detective work, like looking at the video, looking for usernames elsewhere, looking for emails, and looking for location clues. It’s really fucked up. They found Keffels’s Motel by the sheets in her room. It’s bad enough if you do not think about these things and just have sloppy OpSec, but even if you do, they can still find you.
A lot more regularly that they do in the rest of the UK.
So (not so) fun fact: Keffals, who was targeted by KiwiFarms for being trans (yes that’s all) and got Swatted. She then went to stay with another streamer (EllenFromNowOn) in Northern Ireland. Just for information sake, Northern Ireland is still a bit rocky security wise, Police there still carry guns on the regular. So when she went there, Ellen called up the police and explained the situation to them (they had never heard of Swatting weirdly enough).
Sure enough, someone found her flat, posted her address (with a message referencing a Unionist Slogan, Ellen was from the Catholic Community), and sure enough, the police came. Instead of raiding her all guns blasing (which they normally would) they saw the warning, knocked on the door, saw nothing was wrong, called off the squaddies, and came in to basically make sure everything was okay.
Bare in mind, this was in Northern Ireland, a place where the Police still drive Armored cars and have regular riots, and they handled this better than the Police in London, Ontario.
American Evangelicals: THE RAPTURE IS COMING AND THE TRIBULATION IS NIGH!
Jehovah’s witnesses: THEY ARE COMING FOR US, THEY’RE COMING FOR US BECAUSE WE’RE WITNESSES!
Mormons: WE’RE GONNA NEED THE FOOD STORES WE WERE TOLD TO MAKE, JUST YOU WAIT!
Scientists: Climate Change will lead to everything going to shit if we don’t do shit now.
All of them together: BULLSHIT!
I mean basically this: They expect something like a Movie but when something happens in reality they turn around and are like “nope”.
I believe Greggs has a few of those in London.
How people who say we need to ban cycling because “I can’t take a sofa on a bike” think they and everyone else drives on a daily basis.
No but they can experience existential fear (first time I took one of my cats on Holiday).
The fact that a company can get away with killing someone because someone else in their household subbed to their TV service is fucked and we need to fucking kill that fucking bullshit, whether we will is another thing entirely.
It’s not really a long story. This was back when I really got into Vaporwave and got nostalgic for OS 9 because of it, so I got sheepshaver and set that up, figured out how to get this song onto it and play it through Quicktime for the A E S T H E T I C.
A lot of effort for a shitpost.
I started out wanting to do something akin to System 7, ended up using Platinum 9 (which emulates OS 9).
I did install an Emulation of OS 9 a while back for a meme (long story) but doing this was a great practice in Nostalgia, even if it was just for a single post.
Hmmmmmmm, do not like that. do not like that one bit.
fixed, thanks for sharing.
Ok so a trans woman transitions too well for their liking and thus they declare they must have been cis all along?
Fucking Kek.
I mean unless Mozilla starts getting sued by Ad companies to force them to ban ad blockers, I don’t think that will happen because being able to have ad blockers is a major selling point.
But even if it does happen, Firefox is open source and has been forked, so the next alternative is LibreWolf.
The idea that a simpler system of weights and measures that operate in base-10 will somehow cripple America is somehow fucking hilarious.
