Sure, but look at it this way. Fingerprints are benefiting the advertisers, and their purpose is to better target ads. Well I say fingerprint the hell out of everything, but I’ll make sure no ads get through. If we all do that, what’s the added value of fingerprinting then?
Yes your honor I lit up but didn’t inhale.
Trump is shallow at best.
PiHole
AdAway
Burn the ads down.
Stop training bots damnit.
Apparently the new slogan is “Vox Populi No DEI”.
The content filtering approach to government, or, if you will, a filterocracy.
The local dating branch would like a word with you.
Swipe left on the TV screen 😂
Get your kid a smartphone, then there’s no need for a library pass.
Don is an addict. No matter how much money, women or success he gets, it will never be enough. He’ll chase that next high to the end of the earth.
They: “I don’t even.”
You:“… lift, bro?”
I should care less.
Perfect human beings don’t exist. Apparently there’s a religion positing there was one perfect human, but we nailed him to a cross for interfering with business.
Here’s a thought. If you were able to get away with Almost Anything ™ and were surrounded by people praising your genius, dashing good looks and boundless generosity towards their persons, how long would it take for you to lose your moral compass, you think? You would pretty soon lose your frame of reference to the normal people, and your empathy would follow. And that’s assuming you’re not 2nd or 3rd generation ultra rich, in which case you never had it to begin with.
Succession is a very good TV series exploring the mindset of such people, if you want to see it in action. Otherwise, history is full of examples - such as Nero, the greatest poet to ever set fire to Rome.
I know there are exceptions, like everywhere else in life. But those tend to cultivate humility as a habit, like other people go to the gym.
Old Man’s War by John Scalzi was made for this, I swear. His latest books also read a lot like movie scripts are contained therein.
Charles Stross’ Laundry series has a ton of potential too, if less Chtullu is required, I wouldn’t mind a Merchant Princes series either.
I heard rumours about Forever War being optioned at some point, but nothing came of it.
Yes, and if 30 people can sing a symphony in 2 hours, imagine what 120 people could do.
Hours spent working is not the same as productivity.
Twice as many people assigned to a project does not double productivity either.
I could go on…
Don King had an alternative thesis:

You should probably do it twice, before and after. Just to be on the safe side.
Nevermind hackers. Look up “corporation in the middle” attacks, which is a prime example of subverting secure channels at scale.
If you don’t own the hardware, nothing you do on it is truly private. Ditto if someone else has admin access to your hardware (eg BYOD scenarios) . Inserting a root certificate into the OS is trivial in both cases.
The right to bear men.
No argument from me. But we’re talking about a byproduct of a commercial endeavour, without financial gain there would be less reason to do it in the first place.
If nothing else, at least they make less money and I have a better experience online.
