Well, unconditional love does originate from the favorable treats you mentioned, but its also the stories you had with them, your experiences, your ups and downs. Everything that made your life a little more worthwhile by simply standing by

For any HN users struggling to read, blocking Google Fonts or Fontawesome absolutely demolishes the website.

The whole ruse is because people store so much data with Google and dont want to bother with backing it up/cant back it up easily (i dont know, i never used G that much) Plus, email is your everything now. Its your login, its your invo

See: crypto. Marvelous technology. Ruined in the public's eye because of the amount of scams in it. Those same scams were used as justification for strict KYC laws. Which did not do much to stop the fraudsters really, hurt legally oper

YC did so well because they never really asked for the qualifications other investors did and put an end to potential founders deciding that its not worth it/procrastinating

The market for data is shady. They can simply sign contracts with a few reputable "market intelligence" firms. I am also very sure that another VPN firm wouldnt mind being a proxy seller the browsing data in return for some comiss

To be fair, any U.S government agency can very well torture you as well, as they can do an oopsie and send you over to somewhere middle in the woods in Poland. The term whataboutism is also not exactly stable when it comes to politics becau

I'd flash custom firmware at that point. Be aware that i suck at networking however. Is there a compatibility/hardware-related issue?

A painful remark about how slow the government is, haha. I really like the idea, however. Hope you make some spare bucks!

How easy is the question. 1. Browsing habits would hardly have an affect on the vast array of data to have an effect on ads presented to you, unless you care about your privacy. Its all target auidence and marketing (look at ExpressVPN or S

Thats fast execution! You should get into the law industry.

FYI their monthly subscription doesnt have multihop and thus offer an easier avenue for metadata matching

I was using my PiHole and switched to NextDNS to check. Didnt work.

No i totally get it, i can see myself doing the same compromise. I cant see myself recommending such practice, however.

I dont get your second point. Two things can be harmful to the open web at once. CloudFlare is definitely not taking the right approach at it, which damages the open web alongside botnets. Also, botnet owners are for some reason extraordina

its time to pull out lynx again.

in my opinion, the admins do not enable the option to ban lower trust users (or set the threshold high), so CF tries over and over again instead of doing that.

I dont know which type of Firefox you use, but any reasonably tuned browser (in the privacy sense) fails your systems. I literally didnt have a single instance of passing them without handing over a pixel perfect fingerprint.

I seriously never get people that love CF (or any company for that matter). Praising 1.1.1.1, giving it free advertising. CF is basically handing over your website in return for some less work on your part. I get the advantages of it (lik

Maybe back when standarts where on shaky ground and different versions of the same content was made? I too cant see the performance advantage of it. Deprioritizing less mainstream browsers to mess with the nerds?

by waithuh 3y ago
Of course they are. Thats the whole point of the 'Integrity Check'. Besides, almost every website you visit collects your fingerprint nowadays.

ah, yeah i kind of consider that as data selling anyways. Not outright selling, you are right there. Selling in bulk would be dumb for these companies when they have ad networks in place, though. Its like the DRM for ads.
