Reply to comment by DcscZx5idox in Google FLoC – What You Need to Know & How To Opt Out by Rambler
Bromite is only for Android, but I guess Android web browsers are missed when mentioning FLoC. Also, from what I see, CalyxOS build of Chromium either has FLoC disabled by default (and it is on version 89, by the way) or I haven't been FLoC'd. Actually, since I disabled third-party cookies, I can't be FLoC'd. And also, it doesn't look like the Calyx Institute mentioned FLoC and whenever they disabled it in their build of Chromium.

Bromite is a Chromium fork with ad blocking and enhanced privacy for Android.
This browser is disabled FLoC by default since version 90.0.4430.101.

Is there a difference between ungoogled-chromium and chromium-browser? I've got the latter in my repository (Linux Mint), but not the former.

It looks like it will be embedded in a way that can be disabled. In fact, Brave and Vivaldi have already stated FLoC will be disabled. ungoogled-chromium didn't state anything about it AFAIK, but since it disabled everything Google, it will probably disable FLoC too.

Is this only part of Chrome or will this become an integral part of the engine that basically all other browsers use, too?

At one point they started serving unsolvable captchas like google, fortunately they soon quit that fuckery and now it seems to work consistently.
It's still annoying as hell because tons of retarded webmasters block read access from Tor with Cloudflare cancer and thus also hCaptcha.
Though IMO captchas are not a fundamentally bad idea for blocking robots from having write access to a service, not malicious humans. They're just overused by idiots who have no fucking clue about what they're doing, which is mainly why half of the modern web is completely unusable on Tor. (There's also the minority which knows exactly what they're doing, aka Google.)

Yeah, that's on me. Usually I'll read, or at the very least skim my submissions.

Should've dig deeper before sharing then, especially when it's from reddit, where they do shit like censoring the Dig Deeper website, which is a fucking joke for a subreddit that says they help with "Privacy & Freedom in the Information Age". Never mind the subreddit, the entire forum is against privacy. At least they aren't Clownflared and they allow VPNs.

I'll admit, I didn't read the article. Just copied from /r/privacy on reddit.

It's an improvement over using Google reCaptcha, at least for now it's not Google (although Google would probably just buy it). Ideally of course our website should be standalone, not loading resources from external sources.

Let's not forget to mention Firefox and DuckDuckGo. Oh, and did I mention that Medium is Clownflared and Internet Archive is shit at trying to view an article on it, forcing you to use Google Cache? It sounds like irony to me.

hCaptcha turns this model around. When you use hCaptcha, companies bid on the work your users do as they prove their humanity. You get the rewards.
What rewards? Why the fuck do I need to prove humanity to another technological roadblock?

I don't trust hCraptcha - their main page has a "Try it out" thing, which embeds hCraptcha over Clownflare, which means BCMA will block the main page after the first load. So it's clear to me they support Clownflare in some way.
Actually, the Stop Cloudflare repository said it's all about money. You can see it on hCraptcha main page:
hCaptcha allows websites to make money serving this demand while blocking bots and other forms of abuse.
The "abuse", of course, will be e.g. users who use Tor and they happen to visit a Clownflared website.
Is that the only issue? Well, it also has the issue reCRAPTCHA has - the user is still forced to solve it, the only thing that changes is who gets your data to abuse it.

Reply to US Postal Service accused of monitoring American social media posts under controversial surveillance project by Rambler
As such, the US Postal Inspection Service has federal law enforcement officers, Postal Inspectors, who enforce approximately 200 federal laws to achieve the agency’s mission:
To make more criminals and fill federal concentration camps. Each new federal law to protect will only produce more criminals to lock in federal concentration camps. Why the fuck would postal service do that with that disgusting glorified pose? It's not controversial, it's evil.

Reply to Invidious / YouTube proxy is back up. Watch YouTube videos ad-free. Create playlists and subscriptions without ever pinging Google. by Rambler
Setting preferences doesn't work on the onion site, apparently because the server always tries to set the cookie domain to its clearnet hostname.
Set-Cookie: PREFS=*snip*; domain=tube.incognet.io; path=/; expires=Thu, 20 Apr 2023 02:30:45 GMT; Secure; HttpOnly
Any chances you could look into this? Thanks in advance!

I'd love to see another decent DNS
I only know of two other "decent" providers: libreops & opennic and the former likes to shit the bed every now and then

Reply to comment by takeheart in Small, cheap spy satellites mean there’s no hiding place by liminal
Upboat because you are the only one who replies to my posts. I see you have read the article carefully, but I'm pretty sure the part about migrant routes isn't realistic, ICE will find the tech more useful than any NGO, although you probably think ICE is on Soros' payroll.
I see a lot of neutered 'facts' in the middle of overton window
What do you mean? My take is that the use of this form of fingerprinting mechanism is worrying, especially when a huge share of all satellites in orbit is controlled by a manchild.

This is utterly useless if crypto, Tor, VPNs are legal. They have to go all the way China or lose on a disqualification. Which do you think?
