There isnt much to discuss

oh I think there is!

you know what is tiring for fucks sake? that you are parroting your opinion basically, without pointing to any evidence. I don’t know this service, but do you call them rapists because they are known for doing that, or because they didn’t block users that were accused of rape?

I don’t approve of rape and fascism either. but you know, private services don’t make a difference between anyone. why? because they can’t make sure the accusations are true. if they can by looking at your data, they are not a private service.
would you ban encryption because rapists use it too? encrypted services, like proton and matrix? signal? do you think they are guilty of allowing to conduct rape in secret?

even if it turns out the maintainers are rapist fascist fucks themselves, the previous paragraph stands, and I’m interested in your responses.

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

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.

thanks for the reminder! recently I keep the warrior down because my amount of ram started to be a bottleneck to me, but certainly manageable when there’s urgent need.

why don’t they switch the “current project” selection to it, though? It’s on telegram now. it would receive more help because that’s the automatic choice

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

well search is not that good, it can only find exact word matches for any of the words, but otherwise yeah. though I think telegram isn’t much better at this either

and also, time of “saving” is always correctly preserved

yeah, they have other undiscovered vulnerabilities

no, I won’t pay for data mining services

Oh they are back up again!

What do you think, could this have something to do with the recent problems as IA? Or, is it possible at all that this is an error at the IA?

Seems strange that the dev seems to be keeping quiet on this, no?

the issue was just posted 7 hours ago. maybe they just haven’t seen it yet.

someone in issue #573 asked if the dpapi file is really needed, and by looking at the manual installation instructions, yes, because that contains all the code.

the developer loads custom code into the spotify process by using such an “override” dll file. it works because spotify is voluntarily loading a dll with this name, and if there’s such a file in the directory besides the .exe file, it’ll take precedence over the original file installed in the system.
the trojan warning is probably triggered because this technique is often used by malware to change the behaviour of your programs, but as with most technologies, it has good uses too

did you want to link #573 ? you only linked the issues list

legal streams already do

It’s (actually) funny being put that way, especially the last one. well they are active in the Monero community too, so there’s that. maybe they’re just hyped for it. I mean I was excited too for the first purchase I made with Monero, but yeah, this above might be another level

because cash is issued by the government, or central bank, and is therefore shit

sorry, I don’t follow your conclusion. Except if you are afraid of price manipulation, which I understand, but that should equally affect your money stored at the bank too

my reasoning is that we already have it, and it’s already widely accepted as a valuable, while it’s basically untraceable and so private, and also cannot really be selectively revoked or marked “dirty” as it is with shitcoins (yeah, I called bitcoin a shitcoin)

“YOU WILL ONLY BE PERMITTED TO SPEND ON THINGS THE GOVERNMENT APPROVES OF. THINGS THAT ARE DEEMED TO BE LUXURIES — MEAT, FUEL, TRAVEL — CAN BE RESTRICTED” This is already true. Things that the government deems illegal are… not legal to buy? And luxuries are already taxed higher than necessities. This already exists as written.

I don’t think so. I think they want to say that the restrictions can (and will) become “personalized”. You can’t buy this because you are like that, this costs more for you, etc.

Things that the government deems illegal are… not legal to buy?

you can still buy them. and when something is illegal, that unfortunately does not always mean that it’s harmful or otherwise bad

And luxuries are already taxed higher than necessities

equally so for everyone

There’s a threshold for income that below that it’s a waste of EVERYONE’s time to track. So things like allowances and pocket money between friends is just not affected.

it is a waste of time to track that because it’s manual work for relatively little gains. without cash it will be automated and much easier to tax that too. whether they want it is another question, but it wouldn’t be a waste of time anymore

“PARKING AND SPEEDING FINES WILL BE TAKEN AT SOURCE, WITHOUT THE POSSIBILITY OF CHALLENGE AND POSSIBLY EVEN WITHOUT YOUR KNOWLEDGE” Why would they?

which part do you mean? you might not be able to challenge it if it turns out as a system like google or facebook, where there are no human support personnel to be contact you might not be able to know it happened if you are not notified, and you’re just supposed to see it in a transaction history. maybe the writer was thinking about something else, though, because that’s already the case with bank accounts.

IF YOU PROTEST THE ACTIONS OF THE GOVERNMENT, YOUR MONEY CAN BE SWITCHED OFF. IF YOU THINK THAT’S UNLIKELY, IT’S ALREADY HAPPENED TO TENS OF THOUSANDS OF CANADIANS WHEN THEY PROTESTED AND IT ALSO HAPPENED TO A BRITISH JOURNALIST" - Is this about the Flu Trucks Clan? Well the way the Canadian gov’t handled that was pretty shit. I’ll give you that. But um. We still have cash in Canada.

How fortunate. That doesn’t look like to be the case for too long, though, and that’s why we are in this comment sectioat

And if they can turn off your ability to spend in a cash society then this is at the worst a net zero.

how would they do that? in my understanding, they can’t disable your (physical, to be clear) cash, because the notes are almost indistinguishable (almost because of the serial number, however nobody looks at that), and not programmable either

“A CASHLESS SOCIETY MEANS THE END OF HUMAN FREEDOM” What? The onus is on you to explain this one further.

• by making you unable to use it for its intended purpose, and also - by surveiling you through electronic payments, which record when, where and how much did you pay to who and for what.

surveillance alters people’s decisions, even of good persons who should have no reason for fear

And if they want to track our movements all they need to do is ask apple and google or buy the data from 3rd parties

that only worksif you don’t do anytanything against it for yourself. honestly, this phrase sounds pretty defeatist, while that’s not warranted.

And you don’t need a warrant to buy data from a broker.

nobody needs a warrant for buying data

But these talking points aren’t actually the end of the world that OP would like you to believe.

Technically china level surveillance isn’t the end of the world either, neither were communist dictatorships in eastern Europe.

I wouldn’t want to live in such a world, however

I love Monero, I really do, but we do still need something offline for resiliency. Monero is unusable without any of electricity and a coherent internet, and a device with you all the time you would need to pay.

Cash is basically analog Monero. We should preserve it to always remain an option.

btw grafana does make connections out, at least for when installing plugins, possibly more.

if you are not in the EU, they even load fucking fecesbook scripts on their main website! a few months ago that was happening in the EU too. if you’re in the EU, you can see it for yourself with thea VPN or the Tor browser, request a new circuit until the bottom one is USA or something like that, and check the network traffic with the devtools (reload the site if you don’t see it there)

even if this is not the case in the EU (for now), there are no excuses for doing this. no, letting your website be handled solely by marketing heads is not an excuse.

it’s a bit more complicated than that. grafana is only for displaying of the collected info. you still need a database, and something that collects data from systems.

what I do is grafana + prometheus for storage + prometheusnode exporter for collection.
but, I’m not totally satisfied with this setup, because long term storage is unsolved (cranking up the retention time in prom will maje sure it’ll cost a lot of storage after a few months), and I haven’t found a way to collect info about top users of resources (e.g. top 10 processes by cpu usage)

actually its not perfect with comments either. I keep 4 notifications in my inbox unread in case I could find out where I got them, 2 of which is inaccessible because they themselves were deleted and I can’t go back to see what was its parent thread
