Illecors, to memes in Happy Holidays

This meme is pushing it because, well, meme. And that’s all fine.

As a non-native atheist speaker, though, I have to say “happy holidays” just doesn’t roll off the tongue the way “merry christmas” does.

It’s not a big deal at all, but I do find it annoying at the minimal level.

This doesn’t affect websites as such - it’s the end clients, i.e. browsers that would be forced to accept gov issued CAs. I don’t see anyone going after TOR as it’s already a very niche thing, so it should be fine.

Oh, it doesn’t - the restriction is not in place to begin with. But it will definitely happen if this is to go through.

No idea about what happened behind the closed doors, if anything; but I feel like compiling your browser with a patchset that removes the restriction on CA removal is going to become a thing. Good thing I’m on Gentoo already.

Illecors, to privacy in How private am I?

This is a very simple question to answer:

Illecors, (edited ) to asklemmy in Which things have you avoided or embraced on the name alone?

For 3 or 4 seasons I completely ignored Game of Thrones - the name just threw me off. To some extend I’m happy I did - there was a lot of content to catch up to when I finally did give the first episode a shot :)

You need to change jobs. Obviously your coworkers are taking a piss of you and being right doesn’t really matter.

Subbed!

Illecors, to linux in Is there an easy way to set up an email client so you get system notifications in GNOME once you receive an e-mail?

Evolution work fine with a business google account. I couldn’t use gnome online accounts as that’s blocked by policy, but regular imap worked just fine.

Illecors, to privacy in Multiple Adblockers in a row - does it make sense or is it even harmful?

I personally only run pihole and ublock origin. Pihole takes care of the most stuff, ublock picks up the leftovers where domain blocking is not good enough. I’d like to believe this saves some juice on battery powered devices, but I’ve never actually measured it nor noticed it.

The ending is not great, but it definitely was an ending. Some shows can’t even manage that. And to me it hasn’t spoilt all the previous seasons - those were solid.

In short.

  • You’re fairly private, I don’t see maths just getting broken - i.e. the stuff you do is not visible to the outside.
  • You’re very easy for big tech to track. They don’t know what you’re doing directly, but inference engines are very powerful nowadays.
  • Most websites do not, indeed, do first party tracking.

What you’re saying here is very different from what you’re saying in the OP.

How private am I?

how easy do you think it still is for big tech to track me?

most websites don’t do a lot of “first party” tracking.

These are all very different questions. I guess my bad for only answering the second one.

@Aspaldiko This is what I would’ve said. Hiding in plain sight is the solution. It gets tricky when you want to send a message and not leave a trail at all, but in essence - privacy != anonymity.
