- Comment on Do you ever feel like your life is "scripted"? Like everything is written by some entity controlling your life? Like you live in a fictional universe? Is this feeling normal/common? 4 days ago:
I’ve felt like I’m in a simulation quite often. It sounds very cliché and I never thought I’d actually feel it (the idea has always fascinated me but c’mon, really?) up until the last few years.

I can’t remember for sure but I think it’s common knowledge that lemmy.world blocks VPNs. Just switch to an instance that doesn’t.

That means the fries were probably not handled with care while they were frozen.

I keep wondering why images aren’t loading and it’s because they’re hosted by Reddit? I blocked them ages ago but why are we using Reddit’s CDN for Lemmy posts’ images?

I’ve never seen so many improper uses of “it’s” in my life; I couldn’t make it through just the first paragraph.

Yeah the scale is crazy confusing.

Yeah seriously. Why even engage?

Share of people who gave a response between 1-4 on a 1-10 scale to the question: “Please tell me whether you think homosexuality can always be justified, never be justified, or something in between.”
“Share” would imply it’s the percentage of respondents to the survey no?
- Comment on Best way to browse and share files between hoarders? 1 week ago:
Even worse, don’t use the suggested Samba, NFS without a tunnel either! You should probably have the default ports blocked at the router.
- Comment on Best way to browse and share files between hoarders? 1 week ago:
Surprised no one just said Samba or NFS over a tunnel (Tailscale, WireGuard, etc).
Or by “sharing” so you mean mean keeping files synced between the two for replication?

Do people really buy produce wrapped in so much plastic? Personally I go out of my way to avoid it.

This drives me crazy living in the Los Angeles area too, but I’ve discovered it comes from Mexico. For example, Taquería “Los Hermanos” would be a taquería (taco shop) called The Brothers.
Honestly it doesn’t bother me so much in Spanish but it definitely looks totally wrong in English.

- Comment on Browser Fingerprinting And Why VPNs Won’t Make You Anonymous 3 weeks ago:
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.
- Comment on Browser Fingerprinting And Why VPNs Won’t Make You Anonymous 3 weeks ago:
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.
- Comment on Browser Fingerprinting And Why VPNs Won’t Make You Anonymous 3 weeks ago:
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. - Comment on Browser Fingerprinting And Why VPNs Won’t Make You Anonymous 3 weeks ago:
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.
- Comment on Browser Fingerprinting And Why VPNs Won’t Make You Anonymous 3 weeks ago:
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.

I’ve got a Roomba and Braava jet and I think the opposite: the software (navigation) is shit but the hardware (cleaning-wise, not including the lack of lidar here) is great.
