The essence of that article can be summarised in:

  • The Streisand effect is helping the news outlets that meta censored.
  • We can all move away from meta, and they will essentially go away.

Honestly, if the makefile is well written, I will take that any day. Good makefiles are 😙👌.

They are extremely rare, tho...

I guess the solution would be a declarative language that compiles to makefiles. So that people don't have to know the nitty gritty of writing good makefiles, and can just maintain a file of their dependencies and settings...

Larger might be acceptable too, not sure

It should.

Also, work off of the copy. Never touch the source.

Yes, I get that point, but I also think that it's tempting for the privacy-minded novice to think "the less information I provide, the better!", while in actuality, it is better to provide "more" information: the most common UA, even if it means lying about your featureset. In this case, truly, more is less.

Oh gee, I wasn't aware there was more to it than the UA. Thanks for opening my eyes.

Edit: I checked your link, most of the parameters on the test require client side execution. That (client side tracking) is absolutely unrelated to what (server side tracking) I was talking about, and is something you can control (by not allowing JavaScript, for example). Please do not confuse the two. There is literally nothing you can do against server side tracking.

Yeah, make your user agent absolutely unique. Too much entropy will surely confuse the shit out server side HTTP Header tracking. 😬

If you can't count to 3, that's a you problem, dude...

Love how nuanced this is 🙃

So, lemme get this straight. We fucked up the climate with industrialisation and uncontrolled capitalism, through energy consumption. Now, the #1 industrial company (that's two for two, if you're counting) in chip making is using one of the most energy (and there we go, 100% 🥳) intensive technology at our disposal to try and eventually have a shot at maybe keeping the climate in somewhat of a check... Am I the only one seeing this? 😶

That's the energy equivalent of giving every kid and teacher guns to "stop school shootings". 🙃

Better lzma performance with xz. 🤪

That's the point of the plausible deniability. You can go after them with a personal conviction, but you can't go after them with proof. There's nothing left to "logically connect".

Because they controlled the mechanisms that were designed to hold them accountable, and made sure not to be accounted for.

Kinda like how attackers who intrude on a system delete the logs and other traces of their presence.
