Well yeah, they’re just blocking known fingerprinting services. If you use a tool that they don’t recognize, it’ll still work, but their approach will still block the big companies that can do the most harm with that data.

The only alternative is probably to disable WebGL entirely, which isn’t a reasonable thing to do by default.

Yeah, I manage the infrastructure for almost 150 WordPress sites, and I moved them all to ARM servers a while ago, because they’re 10% or 20% cheaper on AWS.

Websites are rarely bottlenecked by the CPU, so that power efficiency is very significant.

Sure, if she finds a lawyer who will work pro bono.

Even then, she and her son will be homeless for a long time before winning anything.

Don’t tell other people to do things that you clearly haven’t done yourself.

Now do the George Floyd riots.

You mean the ones where cops and white supremacists pretended to be protesters and started smashing windows and setting fires themselves, because the real protestors weren’t doing anything that they could be arrested for?

So when you try to murder people you unarmed into a building filled with armed men?

People who illegally entered Capitol grounds during the insurrection were armed with a wide variety of weapons, including guns, stun guns, knives, batons, baseball bats, axes and chemical sprays. The Department of Justice said in an official update last week that so far “over 75” people charged in connection to the attack “have been charged with entering a restricted area with a dangerous or deadly weapon.”

They also made pipe bombs.

Lmao no it isn’t. It’s completely insignificant and barely even qualifies as news.

The US Dollar is strong because we have the largest economy in the world, not because of the good will of some oil exporter.

At least google things before spreading insane misinformation.

Did you miss the part where they were trying to murder most of congress?

Also:

Within 36 hours, five people died: one was shot by Capitol Police, another died of a drug overdose, and three died of natural causes, including a police officer. Many people were injured, including 174 police officers. Four officers who responded to the attack died by suicide within seven months. Damages caused by attackers exceeded $2.7 million.

What happened was an attempted coup, where a mob of people was only two barricaded doors away from murdering most of congress.

Google is buying your data, not selling it. They use it to make their ad platform more effective, and selling the data would just help their competitors.

The NSA does collect data from third parties like Google, but not just anyone can buy it from them.

unless a progressive third party emerges the system will keep getting worse

If a progressive third party emerges, they’ll split the vote with Democrats, making both of them weaker. That’ll just give every election to Republicans and make the country get worse even faster.

The only way to get progressive candidates is by moving the Overton window to the left, and the only way to do that is by voting for Democrats.

Most problems I’ve seen between Nvidia and Linux were caused by Wayland. If you’re using Fedora with Gnome (the default) then you can try hitting the gear icon when logging in and choosing “gnome on xorg” (screenshot). That might help with the drivers.

For any other issues, Mint might be easier just because it’s based on Debian, which is immensely popular. It’s more of a well beaten path, and there’s probably more help online for any issues you run into.

If your connection is stable, the latency will more or less be the same, but TCP will consume more bandwidth because of acknowledgement packets, making it harder to keep your connection stable.

On an unstable connection, TCP latency will skyrocket as it resends packets, while UDP will just drop those packets unless the game engine has its own way of resending them. Most engines have that, but they only do it for data that is marked as “important”. For example using an item is important, but the position of your character probably isn’t, because it’ll be updated on the next tick anyway.

Blargerer is probably saying that because the Mastodon post OP linked to says “In 2016 the EU Commission confirmed in writing that adblock detection requires consent.”

That, in turn, is probably referring to a letter received from the European Commission by the same person, which you can see here: https://twitter.com/alexanderhanff/status/722861362607747072

It’s not exactly a “ruling”, but it’s still pretty convincing.

Unionizing and striking are effective, but they’ll stop being effective if they become illegal. They’re already less effective than they should be, because of legal restrictions.

Protesting is only useful for getting in the news and convincing people to consider certain issues when they vote. They will never directly cause change.

And boycotting is just plain worthless. You’ll never get enough people to join a boycott for large corporations to care.

If it doesn’t have any legitimacy, then the only option left is to assassinate people until legitimacy is restored.

If you aren’t killing people, then vote.

Corporations love for you to be distracted with the methods that are futile.

That’s why saying not to vote is pro-corporation.

It doesn’t presuppose that at all. The only way to get that option is shift the overton window to the left, and the only way to do that is to vote for the candidate on the left, even if they’re not as far left as we’d like.
