Hey. If people aren't aware, Microsoft admitted they know who you and where you are at all times and will give your info to the police.
They have a Global Device Identifier (GDID) Tracker that functions as a fingerprint for your PC that can surpass VPNs, proxy servers and countries. Although it can't survive a clean reinstall of Windows (it can survive updates), because Microsoft forces you to go to the internet and log in into a Microsoft account, they will be able to get to you.
Microsoft kept it secret and it was only found out when the FBI tracked a hacker thanks to the information Microsoft gave them.
You should be paying attention to this, and possibly consider moving away from Windows. If a government, especially the US government, doesn't like you for some reason, this could be seriously concerning.
This article specifically notes:
For journalism, activism, or domestic abuse situations, skip Windows and use Linux routed through Tor instead of a commercial VPN. A GDID doesnât care which VPN you use, only that itâs still the same Windows installation.
GDID is the persistent Windows ID that helped FBI trace a Scattered Spider hacker despite VPNs. Here's how it works and how to limit it.
Other important quotes:
What has researchers uneasy is everything else the case reveals. Costin Raiu, a well-known malware researcher, asked on the Three Buddy Problem podcast how much of this exists on other platforms, and whether it is linked more permanently to hardware. Matthew Hickey, another security researcher, called Windows âsurveillance softwareâ.
Two things back that up:
Thereâs no consent screen. A GDID gets assigned when you sign into a Microsoft Account. Appleâs advertising identifier needs an App Tracking Transparency prompt and a visible reset; Androidâs works the same way. GDID has neither, and a Windows reinstall only gets you a new number Microsoft can still get back to the same account.
Then thereâs activation. Massgrave, the group behind Microsoft Activation Scripts, notes that Windows setup sends hardware info to Microsoft and gets identifiers back, the same tokens later used for Store access and licensing: âItâs impossible to prevent Windows from getting a GDID without breaking activation and UWP app[s].â Anyone who lost a license after swapping a motherboard has already met a smaller version of this.
Here's the complaint filed to the court, the primary source for the case mentioned in the article. You can find mentions of GDID on page 30 of the document or 34 of the PDF.

Iâm serious though. When your life reaches a degree of suckage, you find yourself having to look elsewhere for anything at all to talk about. The things going on in your life are trauma dumping. Your past is probably also trauma dumping. So you have to get really weird about specific things or hope that others want to talk to you, because very quickly people are going to develop an aversion to you and the way your life sucks. Unless you just donât talk about it
Itâs socially isolating, which is dangerousâwhen youâre in this sort of situation, community is the difference between life and death, housing and homelessness.
I think the collective prioritization of comfort first is hurting people in a real and material sense
You can make a movie with where the only white character is a man named Ray Cism whose one line of his 16 seconds of screen time is âI seriously hate women and minorities.â and youâll find fifty bajillion reader x Ray Cism fanfics and renaissance style drawings of him with a halo of golden light
people who donât watch horror movies are SO confident that they know everything there is to know about the genre. like itâs okay to not know things. itâs okay if you donât like friday the 13th or whatever. i promise you donât need to make an ass out of yourself on the internet about it
horror is an incredibly diverse genre, because there is potential horror in everything. itâs in nature, itâs in architecture and technology, itâs in human relationships, itâs in folklore, the past, the future, the mundane. there are horror movies from all over the world. it is straight up anti-intellectual to pretend that the handful of B slashers youâve vaguely heard about comprise the totality of what horror has to offer. If youâre just not interested in horror, or if you dislike certain subgenres of horror, then thatâs fine, youâre not obligated to like anything at all. but smugly announcing that you donât like horror because you dislike a handful of VERY specific non-universal tropes is just as stupid as saying that you hate comedy because you donât like adam sandler movies.
[VIDEO TAKEN: MAY 21ST, 2026 | Video ID: A video of a black and golden yellow sculptured resin bee on a wooden post, being prodded curiously by a human finger as it remains seemingly unbothered, more concerned with doing something unclear with the hole in the post that it itself likely had recently emerged from /End ID.]
Megachile sculpturalis, a sculptured resin bee! I watched this hole that had been filled with resin by who was presumably this bee's mother for a year to see when the new bee would emerge, and it finally did in late May! By this time the following month, the hole and another one nearby was filled again to repeat the cycle with a new baby bee.
Here you see me prodding at the bee just out of curiosity for how it would respond, since it seemed to care more about the hole it emerged from than anything else, and yep, not even being prodded at by another living thing would deter it!
