Fucking sick people. Imagine going into work and doing this subhuman shit all day.

I can’t remember for sure but I think it’s common knowledge that lemmy.world blocks VPNs. Just switch to an instance that doesn’t.

Sorry but that’s totally wrong.

The entire point is that if it’s unique it can be considered a fingerprint — in fact the entire reason it’s called “fingerprint” is that in theory it’s unique like a real fingerprint.

If it’s common then it’s unreliable as a fingerprint because it’s no longer unique. Therefore whether it’s unique or not is the entire point and relevant to the topic.

I imagine it’s somewhere between what both of you are saying.

I imagine “randomized” means a random common “fingerprint” (with parameters like user agent, language, etc) rather than just a unique set of randomized parameters (say, time zone in US but language set to Farsi which would be unique to an extent).

From their domain that I’ve already blocked with DNS? Or are you talking about first-party scripts calling Google (which I’ve also seen though much more rare)?

In any case I block those too.

Right, that’s why I mentioned all the blocking at the DNS and browser extension level — most fingerprinting is being done by third-parties — I generally don’t see first parties fingerprinting but if they do it’s likely a website I chose to be on rather than some shady <script> from God knows where.

My thinking is that most of the fingerprinting is happening by third parties, and where it’s the website operators themselves I’m not super concerned about being fingerprinted.

I’m here with multi-hop VPN with the first two hops staying in-country and the rest all random + a shit load of DNS blocking lists and browser extensions + blocking Google. I use different VPN providers too. I’m also introducing variable delays to my traffic to make NetFilter data less helpful.

And remember: this won’t work with “hidden” SSIDs.

From what I recall hidden SSIDs will always be used for location services.

What the fuck? 😭😭

I have a feeling your voter registration isn’t up to date. Probably you’ll have to vote in person for this one.

They have indeed! You should be receiving countless emails and texts from the SOS as well (kind of love that California pushes people to actually vote).

I’ve filled out my mail-in ballot but I’m seriously considering physically voting on November 4th instead of mailing it in.

As a white California resident I don’t feel I’ll be targeted by the racist “watchers” but I am worried about my mail-in vote being nullified.

Does he have everything printed because he’s too stupid to use a computer?

Yes, I use Tailscale but WireGuard is another great option that’s simpler for more tech-savvy people.

I’m on Apple Music now but I much preferred Deezer to Tidal.

Why do people get these huge loans? I’ve never had a car loan in my life and as I’ve moved up career-wise I’ve just never felt the need to put myself $20-50k in debt just for a fucking car.

That’s true. I don’t print much (I’m happy to go to the print shop) but my wife does quite a bit, but not enough to keep the ink from drying out.

After buying two inkjet printers and having constant problems with the cartridges it probably would’ve been cheaper to start with the Brother laser printer I eventually bought. I didn’t realize that HP would lock out cartridges from their subscription on cancellation either (which feels very morally wrong to me).

I could get into it if it were laser; I’ve long given up on inkjet.

Who cares, FSD is so safe that doors opening in emergencies isn’t really necessary.

I’m joking of course, fuck.
