  But one question I’ve been asking myself is : then, wouldn’t I be fingerprinted as one of the few nerds who activated the resist fingerprinting option?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Digital Fingerprinting: Google launched a new era of tracking worse than cookie banners | Tuta⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  But does privacy badger also act on the canvas APIs & cie. ?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Digital Fingerprinting: Google launched a new era of tracking worse than cookie banners | Tuta⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  So I guess for Firefox users it’s time to enable the resist fingerprinting option ? support.mozilla.org/…/resist-fingerprinting

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Rust is Eating JavaScript⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I didn’t mean it’s a bad choice !

  But I think it’s a good example of the compromise that has to be made here : what’s the best fitting technology vs. how to ensure easy onboarding for future contributors.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Rust is Eating JavaScript⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Well I see huge benefits in building the tools used by a community with the technology this community masters. IMO the Python’s stdlib sucks because it’s written in C which is a huge barrier to entry.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The one change that worked: I set my phone to ‘do not disturb’ three years ago – and have never looked back⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Ignoring a text that “I can answer later” is actually what hits me with most cognitive charge :

  My current balance is :

  1. To never give notification permission except when it is necessary for the core goal of the application.
  2. Automatically enable do not disturb from 11pm until alarm clock.

  Well in theory that’s all you need to verify nothing is sent to the server. Then you can only trust them for not using your IP or behavior to find out who you are.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Introducing Privacy Pass authentication for Kagi Search | Kagi Blog⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  And it’s already the best search engine I’ve used in a while!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple is once again advertising on X after more than a year⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, the most “free” option is probably android custom ROMs (anything based on lineageos, I suppose).

  There are alternatives that are slowly building up, such as postmarketos, but it’s not production ready.

  I think KaiOS was a thing for a while, and it’s based on FirefoxOS. But you would have to ditch the confort of a real smartphone and I’m not sure it’s still active?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Paris Declaration on Maintaining Human Control in AI enabled Weapon Systems.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Please bring me back 10 years ago when I though we would no longer have global conflicts and that cold war taught us a lesson about weapons that can get out of hands…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wikipedia Prepares for 'Increase in Threats' to US Editors From Musk and His Allies⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  He is rich tough.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨is starlink a security issue?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Any critical infrastructure operated abroad is a security issue. That’s why even Europe developed its own alternative to GPS, to not be entirely dependant of the US?

  I’m no expert, but I hardly see it being more complicated?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reddit temporarily bans r/WhitePeopleTwitter after Elon Musk claimed it had ‘broken the law’⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Well he’s both the richest man on earth and prime minister-ish of the home country of these platforms.

  I agree he doesn’t say a lot of meaningful things but it would be a mistake to think he doesn’t have power.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Internet Archive played crucial role in tracking shady CDC data removals⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  When the internet archive was attacked a few months ago we were like “who would be dumb and mean enough to do that?”. We have new suspects! 🎉

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨More than a quarter of new code at Google is generated by AI.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I agree that it’s suspicious. This is a HUGE number that would imply a drastic change in their development process and I’m surprised that they don’t give much more information, especially since (as you said) it would promote their product.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨More than a quarter of new code at Google is generated by AI.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks ! ❤️

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨More than a quarter of new code at Google is generated by AI.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Not disappointed by The Verge, first paragraph paraphrases the title with no source and the following is just off topic.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A TikTok alternative called Loops is coming for the fediverse | Users own their content, and Loops doesn’t sell or provide videos to third-party advertisers or train AI on them. It will be open source⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d be surprised if it wasn’t a bit more subtle than that. While the medium really facilitate the behavior that you describe, I’m pretty sure that it also hosts sane usages, creative content and positive communities.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What’s the most overhyped tech trend right now?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  What kind of innovation do you have in mind?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What’s the most overhyped tech trend right now?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Answering from my Fairphone 3 & its brand new battery 😎

  The improvement on cameras is nice though, but I think it’s been nice enough for anyone for a while and people are just comparing color balance now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What’s the most overhyped tech trend right now?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think the phone industry is trying very hard to look interesting but it’s been a while since anybody cared? Right?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Windows 11 is nagging users to try OneDrive to "fully backup" your PC⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah but they have one killer feature others don’t : shuting up these f**king notifications.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft's carbon emissions up nearly 30% thanks to AI⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  And they increase roughly at the pace it should be decreasing 😰

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stack Overflow Users Are Revolting Against an OpenAI Deal | WIRED⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, when good documentation is available it isn’t necessary but good documentation is not always available. And it can still be helpful with niche issues 🤷

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stack Overflow Users Are Revolting Against an OpenAI Deal | WIRED⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I hate 2024

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Man Who Destroyed Google Search⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  On Firefox I think you have to right click on the address bar while the website is open to register a new search engine?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazon Customer Service has become awful⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Same here, most delivery service will not even bother performing the delivery about 30% of the time and just leave it in a relay or post office. Last time the logs showed they ensured I wasn’t home in the minute they left the dispatch center 🤡

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bitwarden has launched a new authenticator app⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  “Import” does appear on the roadmap for this month, we probably can’t know what’s the scope fr that but you’llhave your answer soon :p

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why I ditched Gmail for Proton Mail⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  My only criteria when switching email was to be able to use my own domain name. Now I almost don’t receive anything on my gmail and I can transparently switch provider. I think it was a relevant move, I won’t move to self hosting but I could ! :)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Eric S. Raymond / autodafe · Tools for freeing your project from the clammy grip of autotools.⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve always conjectured that good Makefiles existed but never seen one (or only for tiny projects). The core semantic of Makefiles is clear and straight to the point, I think the issue is in all the magic that was added to that to spare a few lines.
