not a meaningful difference, but if it’s true that only a fifty-something percent voted, then the other half just doesn’t care what is happening with them and their folks

all apps have their own processes, and the names of the processes were often the package name

Question if that’s possible, especially if they really start a search engine, but yeah at least do not hand over the data on a golden plate

how is that chart being built?

how the fuck do they see that you have these apps?? Wasn’t it google’s justification for destroying /proc and all resource monitor apps with it that they have put querying of installed apps behind a permission?

once more, how much does that garbage ceo costs?

the program uploads the information to somewhere, right? just like the telemetry functions in windows. adding the domain they use to popular blocklists would help those who use pihole or something similar to that.

I love how the preview text for youtube videos is entirely fucking useless

we seriously need to get the reporting domain added to popular blocklists

hostname? MAC address? serial numbers? does "partitionx data also include names and GUIDs?

why would they need these? what is wrong with them??

that sounds interesting, but in this idea would those people have to pay for the expenses of the eldely? in my understanding the problem is not that the elderly wouldn’t be able to take care for themselves generally, but that they wouldn’t be able to pay for things they need or want.

since this is most likely not a very popular add-on, any browser with it would stand out considerably more relative to not having it.

websites cannot look at the list of your addons. they have to detect the presence of each, which is mostly possible when the addon makes changes to the page content, or replaces browser APIs in certain ways.

Typically its common for browsers that want to reduce fingerprinting (tor, mullvad etc) recommend not installing new addons as then you stand out from crowd.

because if an addon does something that a website can detect, that’ll make you stand out

as I see both fewer and more is bad. more is bad because of overpopulation, but fewer is also bad because of how the pension system works at most places

how did you pass through the gpu if it’s not visible on that list?

I wanted to ask you how does such an extension make your browser more fingerprintable.

I’m still interested in an answer, but after looking at the code there’s a (actually not so) surprising turn: this thing sinply cannot live without remotely loaded google fonts (at addon startup) for some fucking reason.

that technically shouldn’t make you more fingerprintable, but the extension makes sure google is notified that you opened your browser.

They call it a polyfill because it polyfills your disk

nah, but storage is cheap bro, you really should just buy another hard drive! don’t even think about going below 4 TB, of course!

atomic has had a meaning for a very long time in IT, don’t pretend that it’s something made up bullshit. with this thinking we could just throw out the word mutable/immutable too, what is it my computer is radioactive and I’ll get cancer from it? of course not, because it has a different meaning with computers, and people in the know (not even just professionals because I’m not one) know it.

atomic means that if multiple things would change, they will either change at once, or if the task failed none of it will change.
sometimes these are called transactions, suse calls it transactional updates. but is that any better? now the complaint will be that suse must have transacted away all the money from your bank account!

and distros are obviously not immutable, that’s just plainly misleading. we update them, someone does that daily. updating requires it to be mutable, to be modifiable.

what’s the benefit of packaging drivers that way? surely not permission separation

I think I have found something interesting, check my reply to the other reply
