Phrasing it like that makes me wonder what a village full of pedophiles would look like.

Clearly, there are worse things the Tor Project did, such as removing a Clownflare discussion (notice how it doesn't exist on GitLab) and moving from Trac to GitLab, which caused disabling anonymous contributions. And let's not forget the Mozilla dependency…

I've followed the kerfuffle from afar, reading the most popular articles and comments on the "LiberaChat" side. And one theme dominates these stories, like a poorly-written comic book (which is how all drama plays out on this side of the Current Year):
Rasengan pisses off the right people. Every bad decision he might have made makes me chuckle. This Korean dude might actually be based.
I can imagine good reasons for doing all the terrible things he does (like dropping a bespoke, byzantine ircd nobody else uses for something normal people can configure, an ircd which was even controversial a decade ago when there were more people hacking on ircds), but I don't need to. He angers the people who got so angry that they died their hairlogo trans colors and moved out of their parents' house so they could stay up late and put their dildos on a shelf. At least, I'm 41% sure that's what happened.
Edit: (two days later) It turns out they anonymize IPs now like Rizon and other mainstream networks do. Based.

I don't want to lie about my UA but I have to change it in order to avoid Cloudflare's CAPTCHA. Cloudflare passes Tor Browser's UA for IP addresses of Tor exit nodes. Btw, Cloudflare distinguishes its users by TLS/SSL fingerprinting as well as by HTTP headers including UA. I must doubt that organizations encouraging TLS/SSL want fingerprinting more beyond security. Hey, Tor Project and EFF, don't be evil...

Firefox usage fell by 1.02% from 2020-05 to 2021-05, so over the next three years, it should fall to about 0.3%, and I guess it's pretty much dead at this point, so it will merge with Chromium, I bet. Edit: I knew someone already said it.

Calling it now, Firefox will move to Chrome's browser engine, too.

But I usually can enable only some of the scripts. Besides, there are probably better ways of tracking someone, like cough the FLoCing FLoC. cough
But since I don't use Chromium browsers any more, they can't actually do that, and I doubt it's coming to Firefox, unless you count its inevitable death.

Some sites only work by enabling scripts.

I don't even change my user agent most of the time, so it just equals to what my browser is, but pretending to be Windows 10 while I actually have Windows 7, so it is Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; rv:91.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/91.0 currently (this is what LibreWolf does by default, btw).
So anyway, the only time the user agent differs from the defaults is when I want to enable a desktop version on mobile and when I want to bypass getting user agent blocked because I'm using Wget, so I usually just empty it (or set it to a browser user agent because it also gets blocked).
Also, since I block third party scripts with uMatrix by default, there's not much point to constantly changing the user agent because the trackers won't see it anyway.

No single user-agent would protect your privacy anyway. What I do is to let my user-agent switch every ten minutes. Also, user-agent not only carries browser information, but also browser version and operating system.
Having scripts blocked per default also helps.
I don't mind websites knowing my user-agent is fake. I mind websites having the ability to track me based on my user-agent. Thus my user-agent changes automatically.

I don't understand AdNauseum. If it "clicks" on ads, isn't it allowing third parties to track your browsing all over the internet?

Reply to comment by Wahaha in RockYou2021: largest password compilation of all time leaked online with 8.4 billion entries by Rambler
I assume they add passwords to the next list...
The key thing for cracking passwords is, at some point it is way faster to search every password anybody has ever thought of, than to search every password anyone possibly could think of.
Yes, an honest site would just let you look up in the index starting with any string of letters, so you didn't have to give away your password in the process. Therefore, this is not an honest site. Q.E.D.
Faster proof: It's a site, from a company, on a computer. Therefore it is spying on you and selling your information. Q.E.D.

Looks like a plain old copyvio: https://www.concrete-online.co.uk/chinese-censorship-tank-man-sold-to-chinese-firm/ After all, once you believe the right of people to see and share images is "property", how can you object to China?

This site seems to have brought in some of the last few people left who believe in a right to "free speech", and that's a good thing.
The right not to be as dumb as a sack of hammers is a good thing also, and it's a shame the neo-Nazis didn't use it.

Reply to What are your favorite anime of each decade? by Wahaha
It's a bit hard question, a lot of old anime shows I watched recently and can't exactly tell whether they're from the 80s or 90s
I just watched violence jack a month ago
However, I watched fist of north star back in the early 90s and it was the best thing I've seen, but I recon its older than that
As for 2000s, there were many great things like code Geass, death note, Fullmetal alchemist, guren lagan
When it comes to the last couple of years, I'd say Dr.stone
