»How to Stay Anonymous on the Internet in 2026 (Practical Guide to Online Privacy)
With the right tools and habits, you can dramatically reduce how much of your data is exposed and browse the internet far more.«
This article is not wrong but in my opinion very superficial. This is certainly a good introduction for people who are starting to move more safely on the Internet.

Kind of an odd way to assure someone a poll is "completely anonymous," but I decided to answer Yes so I could take the poll. It was all questions about US national politics and approval/disapproval of various politicians and billionaires. I tried to answer truthfully, but on a few of them "strongly disapprove" is such an understatement that it almost doesn't feel truthful.

Thank you to the kind person behind the anonymous account who keeps DMing/forwarding me screenshots of interesting Twitter posts about my work a few times a year, but then never responds. You know who you are and I truly thank you for your service! 🙏
As much as I appreciate it, unfortunately I can not go back to that place [if this is partially meant to lure me back] and I'd much rather wish for people still there due to various network effects and social pressures to organize them…

[M]any consumers might not realize the privacy risks just by glancing at the flyer sent to them, according to Florian Schaub, associate professor at the University of Michigan School of Information.
"The privacy policy is very specific that we're going to track everything, including what you do in Incognito Windows. Previously anonymous data may now be identifiable. All those risks are not disclosed here," Schaub said, after reviewing a copy of the flyer.

Fascinating story from a software dev Fedi friend, shared with permission to keep it anonymous:
❝A couple of days ago, I had an experience at work that made me understand one of the reasons why the chasm of opinion about LLMs is so deep and wide.
My department mostly does fiddly lowlevel work, [close to hardware]. A few of us don't use LLMs at all, a few use them sparingly, and one member is absolutely all-in. So during one of our morning meetings he suddenly started going off on a deeply disturbing diatribe about how we need to treat the LLMs “like slaves”.❞

I woke up this Christmas morning to a bunch of people making a bunch of stuff up quoting "anonymous sources" to support or advance their cynical fantasy narratives - despite me working in that area & knowing their claims to be 100% fabricated. So that's fun.
Merry Christmas, social networks.

Increased deportations would be bad enough. An increase in the kind of immigration nightmares you see in, say, “Mo” on Netflix would be awful already. But that’s not what we were seeing.
We were seeing anonymous masked thugs abducting people and disappearing them. We were seeing a secret police with blanket immunity. We were seeing a complete breakdown of the rule of law. We were seeing an authoritarian police state forming.
And we were expected not to care, because it was targeting dark-skinned people.

Kash Patel’s days as FBI director may be numbered.
MS NOW reported Tuesday that Trump is considering firing the embattled director as his errors pile up.
Three anonymous sources told MS NOW that Patel had drawn Trump’s ire for his presumptuous social media posts during ongoing cases,
using a government jet for a date night with his 27-year-old girlfriend,
and assigning a SWAT team for her security detail.
