It does feel a lot like velvet-rope LinkedIn.

Feels like a wild ride going from DoubleClick getting flagged as literal spyware back in the day to everyone normalizing tracking to iOS cracking down on stuff like this

Is there a decent domain blocklist of the offending scripts used for this?

I'm already uneasy with the move from analogue interfaces to digital, but there's also this middle ground where "fanciness" just gets in the way of convenience. Realistically, we're going to have a tough time findin

Was the server partnered? Partner servers are subject to stricter scrutiny (ie the don't-make-us-look-bad-in-public rule).

iCloud Drive is actually pretty decent now, except it seems to be completely random when it wants to sync files on Windows. Even so, it can still easily cover 50% of use cases for Dropbox.

I think gamma shifting caused by VRR[^1] is still an issue. A lot of people don't notice it, though. LG have been burning the midnight oil fixing issues people realized once they could finally hook their TVs up to HDMI 2.1 devices in t

A big problem with TVs right now is the mess that is HDMI 2.1. Companies keep putting out firmware updates to make features like VRR work (somewhat), which is a huge bummer for TV Ethernet-cutters like myself.

A lot of people are coming to terms with bad air quality, even in their homes. Air purifiers are selling like hotcakes, even where wildfires aren't a concern. One of the concerns I hope will stick after this thing is (largely) over. So

Can you have multiple trackers set up? I get the same tracking code for each domain I try every time I set it up, which isn't great for keeping relations between websites private. The token makes it seem like it's per-user rather

Pretty much. Also, WHOIS privacy is such a mess that I really don't know if I recommend people set up too much stuff themselves what with all the awful people in the world.

Exactly. This year, a bunch of iOS apps switched from one-and-done to subscription plans. If you want to re-monetize your app, the other option is selling it, I guess.

I wish DNS-level domain blocking were are more normal thing to do. So many people are using uBlock these days that blocklists shouldn't sound too advanced. Also it's free, of course.

Yeah, I don't feel that Windows is meaningfully better than it's been in years, it just feels like the awful waterfall development is going to break it and introduce weird UI inconsistencies all the time and that's just the w

If you're a bigger university, some kind of fallback plan seems to be the responsible thing to do, but what would that look like? Surely someone's been working towards that for the past months.

This is great, except it'd be really, really great with some sort of placeholder image for the blocked images if possible.

Title is "How Cops Can Secretly Track Your Phone" on my end. Assuming that was the original one, some comments here seem to suggest they only read the custom title without checking out the actual article.

What was that German government malware that was found on regular computers like ten years ago? Could have sworn there was something like that.

LinkedIn has had so many privacy disasters over the years, and it's kinda crazy how we kinda tend to forget most of that eventually. I definitely wouldn't trust them with much of your data.

Perhaps they are consistent in only acting based on convenience, and they might finally have reached the inflection point where doing all this was the easiest, laziest thing they could do.
