Through constant packet sizes, random background traffic and data pattern distortion we are taking the first step in our battle against sophisticated traffic analysis.

Those words sound cool and mean literally nothing

Bootstrapping See the Application section specifically.

FOSS = Free/Open Source Software TCP = Transmission Control Protocol VPN = Virtual Private Network

These words mean a lot actually. Pretty basic terms when it comes to the internet.

That means the same as fossing the tcp so it bootstraps your privacy.

See I can sound like a bot too. Or a journo.

I think they meant the comment as a whole doesn’t really make sense, it’s a bunch of technical terms kind of shoved together. If you understand it can you explain what it means?

Yes, the individual words have meanings, as words tend to do. Those words, in that order, form a NCIS, two people typing on the same keyboard, level word salad that has so little real world relevance that it tips soundly into the absurd.
