  • The cookie which stores the "Do Not Track" request is pretty essential don't you think? Cookies is just what we call a particular websites local device cache. You can store whatever you want in there but they are best used for user settings, what user configurable theme should the site use, maybe you have a login token in there. Essential cookies (cache) the site needs to function properly.

    Cache isn't scary, it's the tracking info and other related data they use to sell you ads.

  • Weird that you'd mention the cameras, one of the only things you can access from the lock screen.

    For everything but data recovery you can get by fine without a password. You aren't gonna have a hardware issue that makes Facebook slightly slower, your device won't turn on.

  • Let's use an example from history, Alcohol. Is the alcohol you can purchase in the store safer than the stuff some sketchy dude will sell you in the parking lot? Probably right? Same goes for drugs, much safer when it's regulated because making it illegal clearly doesn't do a good job at preventing deaths.

  • Neither IOS nor Android have a meaningful malware concern. Both are very locked down sandboxed systems of which the easiest to infect, Android requires the user to deliberately disable safety features in order to install.

    As incompetent as Apple is when it comes to the quality of their devices I can't imagine how they'd fuck it up enough to enable any random dumbass to upload malware directly to the devices wirelessly. This kinda stuff has sorta been figured out for more than a decade

  • Good ol binary search.

    Gotta say though VS Code sure seems more convient than a proper IDE, you even have extentions to do a binary search for you when one of your thousand of extentions to make it have the same functionality is causing a problem...

  • I only looked into blocking ads sometime around like 2014-2016? I was perfectly fine with them for a very long time, they got more and more invasive and poor quality to the point I looked into blocking them. Haven't gone without an ad blocker ever since. No way in hell am I dealing with the current state of YouTube ads which are drastically worse than what pushed me to start blocking them to begin with.
