Well yeah, they're just blocking known fingerprinting services. If you use a tool that they don't recognize, it'll still work, but their approach will still block the big companies that can do the most harm with that data.

The only alternative is probably to disable WebGL entirely, which isn't a reasonable thing to do by default.

Yeah, I manage the infrastructure for almost 150 WordPress sites, and I moved them all to ARM servers a while ago, because they're 10% or 20% cheaper on AWS.

Websites are rarely bottlenecked by the CPU, so that power efficiency is very significant.

Sure, if she finds a lawyer who will work pro bono.

Even then, she and her son will be homeless for a long time before winning anything.

We're in this situation because people don't vote.

All other forms of political activism, aside from murder, exist to convince people to vote.

Activism without voting is worthless.

You want more progressive candidates? Vote for Democrats until Republicans are forced to move to the left, and then Democrats will be able to move to the left as well.

That's how the Overton window works.

You want to make Trump the first king of the United States to punish Biden for... what, exactly? Failing to stop Trump?

What the fuck kind of logic is that?

Tourists choose the safest areas of the country to visit, and they don't stay very long, so yeah that makes sense. You're not really escaping gun violence in the USA if you only leave the country for a few days, though.

Google "us homicide rate" and then "mexico homicide rate". It'll take you 5 seconds.
