Nah - the english language is just full of ambiguities that people tend to understand through context or intonations from speaking that are lost in text

… what?

No, not really. I just take an opt-in to js approach to the internet. It won’t perfectly hide me from databroker fingerprinting - but that’s hard to do unless you want to just use TOR for your everyday browser experience and that’s too paranoid for me.

I’ve been using ublock origin for the longest time. Set it up in advanced mode and block all 3rd party domains by default. I know it can block individual line items during the js interpretation stage based on matches to plugins like anti-malware scripts. I tend to whitelist some domains I trust on all domains and I’ll even blacklist some domains I don’t ever trust on other domains (like facebook and anything with px in the name).

Ultimately - the more protection you put in place, the more likely you will stand out to fingerprinting. They don’t give a shit about user agent descriptions. They look at things like how does your browser render a semi-transparent pixel when aliased ontop of something else. What HTML5 Canvas features does your browser support. Attempt to run this list of scripts and see which ones fail. All of that helps make a non-unique print of your browser that hints at an identity even without your Windows Device ID.

Some FOSS projects are supported by having a for-profit company offer turnkey packaging and support for those projects. Look at TrueNAS. They sell nice NAS hardware preconfigured with their software and the profits support the development.

Those things aren’t as rugged as they imply. Go for a brief jaunt and skip a little while swinging it by the handle. It’ll turn into a laptop shaped projectile and leave a dent in both the ground and your wallet.

Lmao I’m in the middle of showing my teenager how to pirate and why it is morally justifiable to not pay for Marvel movies.

I’m also on a less-meat kick. The bean patties sound good. We’ve tried all of the frozen bean burgers but they’re always bland and full of preservatives.

I switched over all my devices to 24 hour - phone, computers, cars, etc. I even change the settings on my wife’s phone sometimes. It’s so much easier to mentally read.

This only makes me hate walmart even more

We as in you did? If so, Fuck you. I know too many people who have been injured because of assholes who disabled those interlocks. LOTO is a lifesaver.

Edit: ok I saw in a later post that you didn’t do that. But still - to anyone who considers disabling a safety interlock - just jump right in after doing so.

When does the NDA expire? I need deets
