You couldn’t pay me to put that green herpes on my profile picture.

Eventually they’ll just make you pilot one of those robot dogs around site and swap out modules on big slide-out cassettes because its cheaper to have someone in thailand swap out an AC compressor at some datacenter somewhere.

Its this kind of thinking that keeps the market irrational for longer than it should be.

With what fucking capital, bro. We’ve been squeezed already.

I think peoples dissapointment is in that the article is infact, shit.

Also I can’t even go to the link because their SSL cert is bad.

Did you just bring this nonsense on lemmy just for an argument with people? The little number next to your name is going downwards.

I think the crowd has spoken.

Yes, but even a diamond encrusted turd still gets flushed, diamonds and all.

lots of things are legally mandated without any good evidence.

Lots of things legally mandated in the past are now unconscionable or illegal now.

A mark.

If you’re building new microslop installations in 2026 you deserve everything you get.

jsyk your posts here just hurt the point you’re trying to make.

I strongly recommend you delete and revisit these thoughts and restructure them so you’re not being told “sir this is a wendies”.

Yeah we used to do things like messing with your history, messing with local storage, messing with your browser cache, messing around with flash and other exploitable plugins.

I can make you download a specific favicon and ID you that way.

Also, most peoples browsers are actually quite unique in terms of fingerprint. My browser, for example, is unique among the 4.8M fingerprints in their database.

Its not about permissions, its about giving you the occular patdown and making observations.

I don’t need to know who you are, but that you’re unique and heres how I tell you are you.

I can later relate that back to PII if I’m clever.

I hated working in the marketing/tracking space.

What the hell is your problem lol

In the bad old days where I was forced to make spyware in exchange for a white collar paycheque, we used to make things called “supercookies” that used basically any fingerprint, storage, glitches of a browser to store a token or otherwise identify you with or without identity

We had something like 98% confidence even if you had no cookies, based on just using JS to eyeball your browser and probing it.

Not saying its a “supercookie” but the internet is funny like that. The current bleeding edge of it seems to be abusing favicon caches

I did, I’ve deleted my habitual bookmark and put lemmy in the same place on the bar.

But the volume of discourse isn’t quite here yet.

But I do like not being banned (twice, the second time an experiment to determine if it was automated, it was) for suggesting Peter Thiel should be turned into soup.

To the point that I’m gonna get it printed on a T-shirt.

I’m trying to ween myself off reddit.

chemical soup.

some actual recourse when you get banned?

I’m banned from reddit from suggesting that Peter Thiels assets should be liquidated, the man turned to soup.

The most banal of opinions is now automatically being banned.

They wont let them leave because it’d be falling into “the competitions” hands.

They’ll shred every single last bit of silicon.
