That’s my exp too. Esp with the endless pop-overs like “We share your data with our 5 million partners! Unless you dig through 45 pages of opt out checkmarks, b/c fuck you”. 95% of the time, disallow JS bypasses those.
Also tho, some important sites flat don’t work with js disabled. I hate that. I get it. There are some things where js is necessary. But it’s like 2% good things plus 98% fuckery.
Wow. I wonder how many vulns like this are unknown outside of identity broker co’s and gov intel orgs. Seems like new ones discovered hella lot.
Turning the WWW into an app platform was a mistake. JS allows so much fuckery.
That made me curious! Muppet Wiki says 70 languages and some dialects on top.
Even if I migrate to a privacy-respecting FOSS solution, my friends, family, acquaintances and random people around me will not (well, some may). I will still be featured in their photos out of my control.
Ayup. That is the infurating thing. I can be careful. But ppl around me are not. Of course you u/l your pictures to big-tech! Everybody does!
TBH, I wanted to volunteer on a local crew that maintains hiking trails. I didn’t… because they were all about taking endless pics and u/l it to their FB and maybe IG. So I avoided sth I wanted to do make my city better. But no way could I avoid their need to share everything with big tech.
Esp because they could already use, you know… a spike strip!
It feels kinda like targeted v dragnet surviilance debate. Targeted feels OK if you get a warrant from a judge, use the legal procedures. But dragnet makes for a dystopia. Similar here. I don’t want a global ability for some centralized db to flip a bit and stop any body’s car across the world. Or, worst case, hacked and stops EVERYBODYs car at once.
