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.

I’m mostly into it for the strong typing, self-documenting nature of it. In my own GraphQL APIs I’ve done a pretty great job of avoiding common pitfalls.

I’m a Ruby on Rails developer currently developing a service that’s basically ripped out of another Ruby on Rails app and the legacy data is just crazy bad — a lot of it has to do with poor validation but it’s understandably easy to get to that point in a dynamic language like Ruby if you’re not careful.

I also manage a REST JSON:API and it’s just so bulky and horrible to deal with. The tooling is barely there and it’s way overly complicated compared to GraphQL — the concept of “only query what you need” is fantastic.

I’ve studied Spanish (I’m basically fluent), a bit of Japanese on my own in high school along with a bunch of random false starts in German (and a stint learning Esperanto). It wasn’t until my 30’s when I started learning Mandarin that my brain was like “holy shit, this is different!”

My thinking is that most of the fingerprinting is happening by third parties, and where it’s the website operators themselves I’m not super concerned about being fingerprinted.

I’ve been blocking Facebook for years but I have to say as a developer I’m absolutely in love with GraphQL. I really can’t stand having to continue development on REST APIs (though I’m equally obsessed with Conditional GET Requests as of late).

What a bunch of fucking trolls. Same goes with China.

I’m here with multi-hop VPN with the first two hops staying in-country and the rest all random + a shit load of DNS blocking lists and browser extensions + blocking Google. I use different VPN providers too. I’m also introducing variable delays to my traffic to make NetFilter data less helpful.

And remember: this won’t work with “hidden” SSIDs.

From what I recall hidden SSIDs will always be used for location services.
