That’s the point. It doesn’t matter how many middle layers there are, if you’re using a web browser, there are hundreds of pieces of information that can still be used to uniquely identify you. Do you have WebGL enabled? If so, you could be identified with 100 constantly changing proxies.

Good thing cloudflare is only used on half of all websites, otherwise this would be a major outage! Let’s keep centralizing our services though!

Make no mistake; the people selling server time will be making money. They are selling a real product to a real customer, it’s just the customer is a tech company that will never make money back in turn.
- Comment on Just seen the latest American Opinion polls. 4 days ago:
Intelligent people are worried about the blackmail context of the emails, but intelligent people never supported Trump, so this is just another reason to hate him and a new reason to be worried. Among Trump’s core supporters, homophobia is a critical issue, it has always been a major topic for the Trump admin. Previously the Epstein files were just about pedophilia, and conservative states have always taken a softer stance on the topic with things like child marriage.
There may be more important things to the story, but where voters can be swayed, the big story is “Trump did something gay.”
- Comment on Years later, Arkane’s Dishonored is still a modern stealth classic 5 days ago:
Half Life 2 was about 5 years too early to be considered “basically beyond imptovement”. The graphics are a little dated now, and maybe the gameplay is a little simpler than a modern FPS, but ultimately it’s pretty close to the mark. I haven’t been surprised by FPS mechanics or graphics in 10 years, so there’s basically no way for Half Life 3 to surprise us. Dishonored 1 and 2 were basically identical. If you told me the second one came out immediately after, I’d believe you.

Dishonored nailed a neat trick: If every game dev stops innovating immediately after you release an innovative game, your game will always be considered highly innovative.

I was considering quitting bananas, maybe even my type O blood, but once you mentioned giving up beer, I immediately abandoned thr whole idea.
- Comment on Refrigerator ads are finally here! 6 days ago:
A hear ago I found out y TV didn’t even have a “Forget this network” button. You had to
- Make a new WiFi network
- Connect it to that
- Turn off new WiFi network
In order to disconnect it. I went down this road because every time I watched a Blu RAY, it would pop-up an ad saying “HERE ARE OTHER WAYS YOU COULD WATCH THIS MOVIE YOU OBVIOUSLY DON’T NEED!”

Nbd, they expect thr bubble to have popped by then and their current company to have gone belly up. They just want to squeeze as much money as possible before that.

- Comment on Study Claims 4K/8K TVs Aren't Much Better Than HD To Your Eyes 3 weeks ago:
Would be a more useful graph if the y axis cut off at 10, less than a quarter of what it plots.
Not sure what universe where discussing the merits of 480p at 45 ft is relevant, but it ain’t this one. If I’m sitting 8 ft away from my TV, I will notice the difference if my screen is over 60 inches, which is where a vast majority of consumers operate.
- Comment on Sam Altman Says If Jobs Gets Wiped Out, Maybe They Weren’t Even “Real Work” to Start With 3 weeks ago:
I feel like he’s really onto something about real work, but he’s missing the point of society. The purpose of our economy is to employ everyone, thus minimizing the negative societal effects of supporting unemployed people, and enabling people to improve their lives. If you optimize a society to produce more GDP by firing people, you’re subtracting value, not adding it.

Help! Our unsustainable behavior of screwing over customers in the name of quarterly profits has finally caught up to us! Turns out there are long term consequences of our behavior, and now Linux can truly go toe-to-toe with Windows on a home desktop!
