Personally I’d really like to see more servers physically located in privacy and free-speech friendly places like Switzerland and Iceland (for example). I’m not sure why you’d want to have your social media hosted anywhere else.

I don’t want to say it’s as bad or worse but the capitalization of every word in the question is kind of gross too.

I’m a web developer and whenever I pay my (awesome) mechanic I always sometimes wonder what it’s like on the “other side.”My dad was a mechanic when I was a child and I always regret never picking up those skills.

A lot of times when they run me through their problem-solving I’m like “damn, that’s just like reproducing a bug to find its root cause.”

I feel like here in California we should just act like the federal government doesn’t exist: they’re unreliable as fuck. It seems like a waste of time to pretend funds will be there.

Fuck I hate being male sometimes. What swamp do these skeezy sexist MAGA guys crawl out of?

I’m in the US and have only ever had Huel. It’s an amazing product so I’d recommend that if it’s available there (the company started in the UK so it’s not US-centric at least).

Ugh, cling wrap makes me feel like I’m completely fucking up the planet. I hate using it.

Honestly it looks like the sidewalk snow was cleared after they parked but it still should’ve been obvious right?

…and that’s why I don’t host my email in the US or on US-owned servers. Fuck that!

My wife is a dentist and this would totally be her response.

God damn these people just can’t get over it can they? This “debate” has been going on for like, 10+ years no?

Ironic because it constantly screws up escaping on macOS. I have a feeling when it says Bash it’s actually using zsh (default on modern macOS) and it doesn’t even realize it.

I’ve witnessed it do Bash) echo "Done" then claim a task was done without actually doing anything beforehand.

Move to the other side of the continent.

I think I’ve seen research supporting this but of course I can’t remember where.

Sorry but that’s totally wrong.

The entire point is that if it’s unique it can be considered a fingerprint — in fact the entire reason it’s called “fingerprint” is that in theory it’s unique like a real fingerprint.

If it’s common then it’s unreliable as a fingerprint because it’s no longer unique.

I mean it’s somewhere between what both of you are saying. I imagine “randomized” means a random common “fingerprint” (with parameters like user agent, language, etc) rather than just a unique set of randomized parameters (say, time zone in US but language set to Farsi which would be unique to an extent).

From their domain that I’ve already blocked with DNS? Or are you talking about first-party scripts calling Google (which I’ve also seen though much more rare)?

In any case I block those too.

Right, that’s why I mentioned all the blocking at the DNS and browser extension level — most fingerprinting is being done by third-parties — I generally don’t see first parties fingerprinting but if they do it’s likely a website I chose to be on rather than some shady <script> from God knows where.
