Don't spam this site with this. I deleted your other threads.
Only keeping this up to archive the notion that this is most likely a scam and anyone who participates will likely lose their bitcoin and also not get whatever product that they're trying to steal.
It’s still a small company
Which makes this even worse if this actually works, which I doubt that it does.

Reply to comment by !deleted152 in Why cookies don't get deleted from the browser unless whitelisted? by Wahaha
You don't whitelist individual cookies, but domains. Which basically comes down to whitelisting the few sites you have an account and want to stay logged in to. Because that and saving some layout choices is pretty much the only value I've found cookies to provide for users.

Yeah, I'm not a big fan of them either. I don't care what other people do to their body, but I've personally never thought, "she's not bad looking, but tattoos would increase her attractiveness".
I'm sure there are people who think a plain Jane 4 covered in tats is now a 7 or greater. And that's fine too. Different strokes for different folks, I guess.

Sure, but contributing won't preserve a culture. Eternal September and all that.

How would they preserve it by posting and upvoting stuff they are interested in, which doesn't have to be either technology or privacy.

If they assimilate and contribute to the culture then they are helping to preserve it.

Yes that's right, they are 99% useless to end users. That's a good idea actually, browsers should really have better cookie management feature

It's straightforward to remove brigading trolls, but when they come in one at a time once every couple of weeks and assimilate properly instead of openly trolling to then steer the culture towards something different, what'cha gonna do?

Sadly there isn't a better one than Google's, to my knowledge. Tineye is a good 2nd (and non-Google) one.

They changed a letter from Kimba to Simba and that's it, yes.

So Disney stole the content from the original japanese source and the name from the English localization team

Which is the best image search and image reverse-search alternatives you found? For the latter, I only know tineye, but it's not as good.

I'm a sucker for woodgrain on things that aren't typically made of wood.
Too bad I'm $1,500,000 short... give or take.

By confused, I mean for example input boxes for forums disappearing, unless you switch to a user-agent they recognize and "support" or similar shenanigans.
Or sometimes getting mobile versions of sites when browsing on the desktop, because the site thinks you're coming from an Android or iPhone device.

In the Japanese (1965) version the protagonist is named Leo, but they changed it to Kimba for the English (1966) release. Back in those days, they always changed the names.
Keep in mind, when Disney does it, it's called a homage.

The joke about how women with tattoos are like buildings with graffiti comes to mind. It's not better when men do it, either. Defacing your own body is pretty disturbing.

I'm using "Random User-Agent", which looks to be doing pretty much the same thing.
I went that route after discovering how you can be tracked based on your user-agent and that there's no way to make a meaningful change to it to prevent this. Thus I just change it every couple of minutes.
Some sites get confused by this, but overall it's a seamless experience. Not sure if it's actually preventing tracking, but it sure will defeat naive approaches.
