Fingerprinting. This clickbait-ass post links to a puff piece for browser fingerprinting written by and for a web media business whose bottom line would be substantially aided by a positive public perception of browser fingerprinting.

They acknowledge the privacy-damaging elements of captcha, but they don't have a problem with uniquely identifying your browser. This from a company whose default web product is so bloated and abusive that I need a request matrix and a userscript engine just to read its clickbait. Fuck!

This is a personal collection of things I find around the internet.

Alright, so somehow you found this place. Here's what to expect:

Posts will be random; there are absolutely no themes here.
Posts may be overwhelmingly frequent (sorry about your sub feed).
Posts may be unbearably infrequent; you may forget you subscribed here.
Posts may be oh, so very boring to you.

Due to the nature of this place, you may find a bunch of stuff that you don't care about, but you may also find a new passion.

So, the gist is, this is a place where I'll share random things, and you'll discover the internet with me.

Oh yeah, I didn't advertise this place anywhere, so hey, how did you even get here?

Check out the sister sub where you discover music with me! [email protected]
