But I am trying to put blame: people who wrote the malware/spyware code are to blame. Similarly to people who write website code that leaks user personal information. The choice to embed third-party code was made by them. It is nowhere

Your post basically amounts to blaming victims of malware and spyware. "Sure your honor, the victim died by carbon monoxide asphyxiation, but it was his choice to inhale the gas, even though it smells the same as normal air"

Consent forms are not required, just host the font. They are also way more expensive and complicated to implement than self-hosting fonts. Asking for consent over usage of third-party fonts borders on pettiness from the website owner. >

Technicalities don't matter. The user never consented to this data being shared with third parties, and there is no simple mechanism for the user to block them that is available to all website users. As other mentioned, GDPR also requi

I also browse the internet this way, but yeah. This solution is not available to people not using their own computers, people using certain browsers that don't have it, or just people that haven't heard of it.

The Roboto woff2 file is actually only 16kb for each variation, and that's the format most browsers will use in practice.

Interestingly, in Brazil practicing lawyers who passed the bar exam are also called "doctors" due to an Imperial decree from 1825, that was also a courtesy to them from the then Emperor.

Yeah, you’re right. it’s when you put all the things together that it makes a lot of difference. It’s not just autotune, but also the fact people today can make almost infinite punch-ins, a lot of music is time adjusted, samplers and modern

“Autotuned” doesn’t necessarily mean the T-Pain effect, it can be used in a quasi-imperceptible way. Most mainstream music today uses it. Whether GP’s thesis has merit, I have no idea.

I agree that there isn’t anything inherently wrong with autotune, but electric guitars and synthesizers were very expressive instruments that generated new possibilities for musicians to express themselves: guitars with more sustain allowin

Autotune the special effect a la T-Pain is not ubiquitous, but Autotune, the process, definitely is. The software itself (or its cousin, Melodyne), or the rack unit are still used in most pop music. Even bedroom studios will have it. Not us

"Rechts" also has the "ch" sound which is not as foreign per se to speak, but kind of deceptive and maybe too subtle to Portuguese speakers. I got the R quickly since it's more obvious, but for the ch it took me a b

That's so true! The thing with "th" I see is that we Brazilians speak it as "fink" (fɪŋk) or "sink" (sɪŋk) rather than the traditional "θɪŋk". But I find that's mostly a pedagogical problem,

I'm talking about your first post: "If the freelancer had taken a credit card directly, he would be in the same situation as now." part. It is impossible to claim that.
