I’m very sorry that your life feels so out of control that you need to lash out so quickly with condescension.
Did you want to talk? Or perhaps explain where you think I misunderstand?

And if you “device type” that…. You’ll see a router likely.
Yes.
And they would ask “why is there a router on your network”
Probably just MAC address lookups, but also possibly something weird like “ttl “ stats
It’s a rarity afaik, I’ve only heard of one or two cases, but a concerning report to me personally.
Though I’m Canadian so it’ll be a few years before it filters here (assuming it catches on)
Yeah, they can still tell that you’re Nat behind another router.
But they don’t like it because it gives them less access to your network and more possibility for something to be wrong
Some isp’s have been detecting the second router and giving people shit for it.
But I’m with you on that, I don’t trust the isp’s backdoored router-modem. Hard pass.
Everyone’s up in arms about a literal anonymous counter, but the other option is the current “spy on everything you do”
How is Mozilla getting flak for this outside of a few hardcore nerds that are welcome to use chrome if they so desire…
And I say that as a huge privacy advocate. In the local tin foil hat “privacy matters” nerd and I honestly don’t see the problem.
And quite frankly anyone that’s said it’s a problem has only been able to come up with “it shouldn’t help them count your views “ which is ridiculous, because it’s very anonymous.
Sooo …. Help me out here, what’s the issue?
I always give “companyname@personaldomain.com”
That way datasets are harder to correlate and I know who leaked 😝
You don’t get to being the CEO of a large company without being an asshole of one type or another, and outrage drives views and clicks.
Soooo…. You get what you incentivise.
I didn’t say great, just “has more than one redeeming quality”
I’m very aware of the Facebook shit list, that’s why I’m so shocked.
As a user, and great fan of the llama models….
I did not have “Zuckerberg saves us from ai” on my bingo card.
…… nor did I have “musk threatens and then pussies out from fighting Zuckerberg”
Or even “Zuckerberg becomes less despised as an individual”
Like…… have I switched timelines and universes?
Search engines are rapidly becoming a thing of the past.
Google decided a few years ago that quality doesn’t matter (and they’re right, the monopoly they have means that their quality doesn’t matter for a good long while) but over the long term that’s sitting themselves in the foot.
This is just phase 2, installing fences around your market.
Phase 2 is often legal, so I’m waiting for some patent battles or something like that too, but the effect is the same.
With physical access to the device and encryption chips, you basically can’t defend against those kinds of resources.
Fair, charged is the wrong word.
But please explain how you see the fiduciary duty then?
A CEOs job is literally to serve the financial interests of the shareholders.
In fact a CEO can be fired or charged for not doing it.
How is that not legally compelling a company to make the most money possible, when to have their top employee by the balls like that?
I mean I buy most of those statements….
Today they’re only alive because they’re taking Google’s dirty money, what happens if that dries up?
And while it’s not ideal, it’s better than most alternatives, and they really need privacy protecting legislation.
I can understand that, but there’s still a lot of misinformation
Your browser is collecting it, and submitting limited info to a counter.
This is still much better.
Someone is running a smear campaign on Firefox, and I don’t know why.
The tech doesn’t track you, it’s very clear on that but the misinformation about it keeps popping up everywhere.
