Well yeah, they’re just blocking known fingerprinting services. If you use a tool that they don’t recognize, it’ll still work, but their approach will still block the big companies that can do the most harm with that data.

The only alternative is probably to disable WebGL entirely, which isn’t a reasonable thing to do by default.

Just use git blame-someone-else.

The fans of some streamer are not going to kill you.

Yeah, I manage the infrastructure for almost 150 WordPress sites, and I moved them all to ARM servers a while ago, because they’re 10% or 20% cheaper on AWS.

Websites are rarely bottlenecked by the CPU, so that power efficiency is very significant.

Sure, if she finds a lawyer who will work pro bono.

Even then, she and her son will be homeless for a long time before winning anything.

Don’t tell other people to do things that you clearly haven’t done yourself.

Now do the George Floyd riots.

You mean the ones where cops and white supremacists pretended to be protesters and started smashing windows and setting fires themselves, because the real protestors weren’t doing anything that they could be arrested for?

So when you try to murder people you unarmed into a building filled with armed men?

People who illegally entered Capitol grounds during the insurrection were armed with a wide variety of weapons, including guns, stun guns, knives, batons, baseball bats, axes and chemical sprays. The Department of Justice said in an official update last week that so far “over 75” people charged in connection to the attack “have been charged with entering a restricted area with a dangerous or deadly weapon.”

They also made pipe bombs.

Lmao no it isn’t. It’s completely insignificant and barely even qualifies as news.

The US Dollar is strong because we have the largest economy in the world, not because of the good will of some oil exporter.

At least google things before spreading insane misinformation.

Did you miss the part where they were trying to murder most of congress?

Also:

Within 36 hours, five people died: one was shot by Capitol Police, another died of a drug overdose, and three died of natural causes, including a police officer. Many people were injured, including 174 police officers. Four officers who responded to the attack died by suicide within seven months. Damages caused by attackers exceeded $2.7 million.

What happened was an attempted coup, where a mob of people was only two barricaded doors away from murdering most of congress.

They do, most of the time. For example if you upload an heic file from an iPhone to a file input on a website that doesn’t accept heic files, it’ll upload a jpeg.

Apple can’t see or control all the different ways of transferring files, though, so in practice it still causes problems sometimes.

The strange thing is that some Android phones also save photos as heic files and make no attempt to convert them, so I still had to add logic to my websites to convert them myself.

Google is buying your data, not selling it. They use it to make their ad platform more effective, and selling the data would just help their competitors.

The NSA does collect data from third parties like Google, but not just anyone can buy it from them.

Avoiding slurs is good, but you’re still claiming that her experience is impossible because you’ve never experienced the same thing.

The irony here is so thick, it’s absolutely incredible.

I just start kissing them. It’s like a magnet. Just kiss. I don’t even wait. And when you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab ’em by the pussy. You can do anything.

Or for another example, see Andrew Tate and all the idiots who follow him.

unless a progressive third party emerges the system will keep getting worse

If a progressive third party emerges, they’ll split the vote with Democrats, making both of them weaker. That’ll just give every election to Republicans and make the country get worse even faster.

The only way to get progressive candidates is by moving the Overton window to the left, and the only way to do that is by voting for Democrats.

Statistically no, it’s not very dangerous as far as big cities go. Its homicide rate is ranked 30-something in the USA. Pretty much every city has “bad areas”, though.

You think in Reddit’s 20 year history no one has thought of indexing comments for data science workloads?

I’m sure they have, but an index doesn’t have anything to do with the python library you mentioned.

Analytics workflows are never run on the production database, always on read replicas

Sure, either that or aggregating live streams of data, but either way it doesn’t have anything to do with ElasticSearch.

It’s still totally possible to sync things to ElasticSearch in a way that won’t affect performance on the production servers, but I’m just saying it’s not entirely trivial, especially at the scale reddit operates at, and there’s a cost for those extra servers and storage to consider as well.

It’s hard for us to say if that math works out.

It’s incredibly naive to think that they don’t have a vested interest in identifying organic engagement

You would think, but you could say the same about Facebook and I know from experience that they don’t give a fuck about bots. If anything they actually like the bots because it looks like they have more users.
