  • This seems to be an unpopular opinion but i personally had someone block me for presumably being too friendly and sincere, after an initial comment where i had agreed with them and defended their downvoted comment.

    A second person blocked me after i pointed out that the person they where calling ai/a bot is in fact a well loved moderator of the community they tried to be a part of and they where simply misreading the room.

    I don’t really mind that people remove themselves but it does worry me that tolerance of others have gotten so low that ideologically similar people will label each other enemies based on very basic misunderstandings of topics they agree about.


  • This is certainly bad, but in context of the general problem of Pfas this feels strange to focus on.

    These chemicals are literally everywhere, non stick pans, pizza boxes, dental floss, contact lenses, rain jackets, cosmetics,…

    Almost everything that is water repellent has a high chance of being made with pfas. Those videos with the cool water repellent sprays, not so cool really.

    Dont get me wrong this is a serious issue but the article seems suprised to find it in firefighter clothing while i would personally be more suprised that its not in there.

    Trough sweat these people may get a higher dose then some others but in the context of all unborn babies already having pfas… this is (sadly) hardly something to be specifically upset about.






  • I am inclined to agree with that sentiment.

    However I don’t think thats the full story, there are plenty report of this happening on librewolf but I could not find any for firefox with fingerprint protection enabled, neither did i find any for tor (though sites not working on tor is expected and may just not get reported)

    Its seems to me that librewolf has a very unique custom implementation of anti-fingerprinting that is not used elsewhere, ironically that means it could be used as an identifier of its own.

    In the larger context this also isn’t just about one website. Claude isn’t trying to obtain any fingerprints and simply expects time to progress.

    Plenty of other smaller sites that we don’t know might be affected.

    I think they are neglecting a real issue because the bug report about it happens, by coincidence, be an llm site.
