We have noticed almost everything everywhere doubling in price. But that's more to do with the federal reserve devaluing the dollar, which will continue to happen no matter which tribe takes up residence in the white house.

The approach once worked, but that was back before browsers began including the likes of things like advertiser IDs and other extremely high entropy attributes that no average person would ever think to disable. Contemporary hide-in-the-crowd strategies are mostly curated within efforts like Tor browser where everyone is encouraged to use the exact same configuration. But then it's still a numbers problem. If only two attendees decide to hide their faces with party masks to a soiree of 100 people, one (large scale observer) only need check the guest list and use process of elimination to determine the identities of the 2% "hidden" attendees.

Somebody can, and probably will, come along and refute this assessment. I am not entirely convinced myself that it is a losing strategy yet. I'm open to hear opposing takes.

Privacy Badger: IIRC Privacy Badger operates by logging third party domains connections on a per-site bases, and only begins to actively block connections once a domain seen across multiple visits fits the profile of a likely tracker.

Nvrmnd, they've changed how PB works and it is now closer to a list-based tracker blocker (enumerate badness):

Privacy Badger no longer learns from your browsing by default, as “local learning” may make you more identifiable to websites.

So they've since corrected one of the core issues with PB. Still it is weak. To see why, please glance through The Six Dumbest Ideas in Computer Security.

uBlock Origin in advanced mode, with default-deny rules (only allow assets by exception) is going to be much stronger at blocking crap.

Personally, I use uMatrix with pretty much all asset classes blocked by default. I never see popups. I never see banners begging "please allow our cookies, pleeeeaaase!".

Ah, the beginner loadout.

Wow that's a lot of effort compared to just blocking CSS and javascript with something like uMatrix.

Nazi: When somebody on lemmy says this, they aren't talking about literal jackboot historical underlings of Adolf Hitler, but instead referring to anyone who isn't firmly on the progressive side of the political aisle.

Tankie: I'm still trying to figure this one out. Apparently it's not referring to tank roles in online games. It supposed to be insulting, despite sounding very laudatory.

You and I must live in two different societies then. I work with at least two other individuals who also don't have a cell phone (not just smart phone, but any cellular device), one of whom is also a millennial. My SIP number has never had any issues with online service auth.

If I were stuck in that position, then I would not hesitate to choose the postage method. That being an option does not comport with the assertion "if a person didn’t have a smart phone they literally can’t use it".

I'm surprised to find somebody with some sense around here.

I have never used a block or mute feature on any site or any service in all my life. It is wild to me that people today actually use those features, let alone to constrict the ideas that they allow themselves to be exposed to.

I conducted a fun little experiment over at /c/asklemmy@lemmy.world in which I posited the question: "If it were possible, how would you deprogram an extreme conservative?". I then waited twenty hours before posting "If it were possible, how would you deprogram an extreme progressive?". The difference in reception between the questions exposed the intense lib-left bias that is pervasive on Lemmy, a byproduct of people constantly walling themselves into self-made echochambers.

Laughs in no phone

The smart ones will be unaffected as nouveau, as distributed through package managers, remains unaffected.

And the really smart ones don't even have nvidia hardware to begin with.

Specifically:

When you plug them into USB into your PC or MAC, they no longer appear as external drives.

For anyone else who's confused at the title

Life will go on regardless of who gets elected.

In fact, if you unplug from the oversocialization machine, you might never know who won or lost the election.

There, I saved everyone a click. Now thank me for my service.

Product manager for proprietary malware peddler attempts to convince suckers that their malware does anything other than artificially restrict users and further the cause of vendor lock-in.

In addition to the code being freely available, as others have pointed out, the developer has attended some number of software conferences at which his knowledge of this subject matter and this project makes itself evident.

What I like is that JShelter doesn't try to "hide in the crowd" with its spoofed attributes which is IMO a failing strategy as the crowd increasingly becomes atomized by adtech.

A millennial not having a cell phone is such an unimaginable concept?

For whatever it's worth, I do use SIP software telephony in order to make calls and receive texts, so in that way I do technically have a "phone". But what I'm fundamentally rejecting here is the notion that I must be compelled to carry around a device in my pocket infested with proprietary malware.

As a percentage, what proportion of pregnancies do those scenarios comprise? What percentage of abortions are carried out simply as a form of birth control?

I have encountered various services

For example, some of these services would be... ?

Millennial, actually
