Oh, GLaDOS allowed Wheatley be a part of the team.

No, if you are rich enough.

Imagine trying winning chess when the board itself plays against you. Twitter/X must be dropped immediately, it’s a censorship-propaganda machine which is now only works for those who control it.

I doubt Firefox will deprecate third-party cookies is Chrome won’t. And now Firefox has included literally ad tracking component into the browser and enabled it for all users by default.

Sonny has been removed from the board of directors but his GitLab account also has been suspended. The second thing is more concerning for me, because the board is a position of greater responsibility and the GitLab instance is just a place to put one’s code and to work on projects.

But one need neither be among the board or use GNOME’s GitLab server to write their own apps for GNOME,so Sonny can continue to develop his apps. Will he do so or not that will reveal his attitude toward the GNOME project.

His main projects are on GitHub.

It will be to late anyway.

Activity on Sonny’s GNOME-related projects will tell me enough.

Me also.

A person can decide if they can execute it somehow. Or a person can hide yourself from the decision and say “the state does not allow me”. And personal decisions are overrated. In the light of death usual rules stop working.

In the best case it could automatically reboot into working configuration.

It doesn’t matter really, one can write any words on a webpage, but show me the proof e.g. an unique and permanent resulting fingerprint.

I see from topics like this that many people don’t understand fingerprinting, just showing a fingerprint, a soft of ID means nothing. A fingerprint must be:

1. Unique for a particular browser instance, or at least effectively rare. For example, when the same browser on different distros shows different fingerprints.
2. Permanent, the same each time you launch the browser.

Banning Tor is sus and not wise. I guess I2P traffic over Tor is barely noticeable for Tor, because I2P is much slower. Especially if you need do it by blocking ip addresses and cannot distinguish Tor nodes otherwise then you do it wrong. And now I2P literally has introduced global IP blocklist because of someone’s opinionated decision.

I’m not so sure what is worse. I wish we wouldn’t reimplement statist practices in computers, as it often not goes well in our physical world, and invent more resources into OS/network security, compartmentalization and privilege separation. But yeah, the reality is it’s easier to put a god-like “trusted” agent in a system. Well, the police need have guns, read all private chats, place security cameras with face recognition everywhere… to do their jobs. Otherwise terrorist attacks or whatever could result in way more damages after all. The same story every time.

BTW, if Windows had been an immutable OS the case would not have been so dire.

Probably it runs with privileges of the OS level, what applications should not do. The second problem is monoculture. To run the same software of a single company an all machines is easy, but…

1. Apple
2. Meta (but actually it effectively avoids me, I not much avoid it)
3. Nazi states (the new axis powers) affiliated brands when I can, especially for the tech companies.

If you avoid Pepsi, for example, what do you turn to instead?

Tea, probably.

They said he searched online for both Trump and Biden. Maybe it wasn’t matter for him whom from them to kill. Just to kill a person of power as big as the president or a candidate of such country as US, with all modern security measures. Like Unabomber, or like in the film The limits of Control. And he was quite near.

Doesn’t work for Tor Browser also: shows different fingerprints after a full relaunch of the browser.
