Summary

As California battles its worst wildfire, consuming 28,000 acres and killing five, MAGA figures, including Trump and Elon Musk, blame DEI (diversity, equity, inclusion) initiatives instead of climate change.

Trump attacked Gov. Gavin Newsom over false claims about water policies, while right-wing media targeted Kristin Crowley, LA's first LGBTQ fire chief, for prioritizing DEI.

Musk amplified conspiracy theories, and MAGA commentators linked DEI to the state's firefighting challenges.

Critics dismissed these claims, citing unprecedented fire strain, climate change, and misinformation.

I've been trying to figure this out for over a year now.

This is my latest concept that I'll try to make.

An alleged leader in Japan’s Yakuza pleaded guilty on Wednesday to charges of attempting to traffic nuclear material sourced from war-ravaged Myanmar with the understanding that Iran would use it for a nuclear weapon.

Ebisawa was caught in a sting operation by the US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). Prosecutors say he boasted to one of the DEA’s sources and the source’s associate, who posed as an Iranian general, that he had access to uranium and weapons-grade plutonium, alongside drugs, from Myanmar.

In 2020, Ebisawa sent the DEA source a series of photographs depicting rocky substances with Geiger counters measuring radiation, as well as pages of what Ebisawa represented to be lab analyses indicating the presence of thorium and uranium in the substances. He continued communicating with the DEA sources in 2021 and 2022.

During the sting operation, including undercover agents, Thai authorities assisted US investigators in seizing two powdery yellow substances that the defendant described as "yellowcake".

The Department of Justice said a US laboratory determined that the isotope composition of the plutonium found in the samples was in fact weapons-grade, “meaning that the plutonium, if produced in sufficient quantities, would be suitable for use in a nuclear weapon”.

What's the deal? I'm testing using https://coveryourtracks.eff.org/ Is it truly unique (and repeatable), or is it perhaps being randomized on every request?

I've tried normal Firefox, Mull, and IronFox. With and without jShelter.

I'm using my phone. Stock Android on a Pixel 7 Pro.

In DDG Browser I have a "nearly unique" fingerprint.

I installed CanvasBlocker and disabled privacy.resistFingerprinting in IronFox (since CanvasBlocker said to), and my fingerprint is still unique. I guess I'm not surprised since I think CanvasBlocker is designed to randomize canvas fingerprinting.

Any tips on having even a shred of privacy when browsing the web on Android?

#Update

The biggest identifying characteristics are screen size and user agent. User agent can be faked with an extension. I can't exactly change my screen size.

I don't know what exactly what I did, but I managed to improve to "nearly unique" in IronFox. I think all I did was install Cookie Autodelete. It's an extension I've used for a long time in Mull, and finally got around to installing it. Then I installed "User-agent Switcher" and chose a Chrome user-agent and now I'm back to "Unique". 🤔

EFF mentioned Tor Browser having some other best anti-fingerprinting, so I tried installing that. "Unique Fingerprint". Again, maybe that's fine if it means it's randomized on every request. Does anyone know if that's the case? If part of the fingerprint is a hash of canvas data and WebGL data, etc. Then I can easily see your fingerprint being unique if a browser or an extension is intentionally fuzzing that data.

#Update 2

I tried Fennec with just jShelter, uBlock Origin, and Cookie AutoDelete (not that I think those last two matter).

Obtained a "randomized fingerprint" result. Success?

At CES 2025, a company called Sybran Innovation showed off the Code27 Character Livehouse. It's an AI-powered digital purgatory that you can trap a small anime girl in, forever.

In short:

The fires started in Los Angeles and its surrounding communities earlier this week, and have resulted in the loss of thousands of homes and buildings.

Satellite images show the aftermath of the blazes, with houses and neighbourhoods left completely destroyed.

What's next?

Firefighters are continuing to battle blazes around the county while the City of Los Angeles houses residents in evacuation shelters.
