I was willing to overlook:

  • The bed costs $2,000
  • It won’t function if the internet goes down
  • Basic features are behind an additional $19/mo subscription
  • The bed’s only controls are via mobile app

My man would have been willing to overlook having Jeff bezos himself sleep in his bed with him before realizing what was happening.


On a slightly brighter note, It will no doubt bring more attention to fingerprinting which in turn will speed up fingerprint obfuscation development and fingerprinting regulation. It will also add more people to the obfuscated user pool. Right now you are essentially helpless against fingerprinting because so few use obfuscation that you out yourself by using it, so google implementing fingerprinting might actually help people already using obfuscation. Non-JavaScript sites will also rise in demand and a debloating will occur.


Don’t use proprietary software for something so simple as mouse and keyboard macros and variable DPI. Use Piper or something.


This is the result of them blocking invidious. They targeted large Datacenter nodes and check for the number of requests from those datacenters that aren’t logged in, and block them until that number meets a certain threshold. This also causes people with VPNs to get this message. The solution is to connect to smaller self-hosted invidious instances or using proxies hosted on normal residential ips.


That depends entirely on what kind of data is stored and how often a new unique ID is created, and that’s something users can seize control over.


They put ads in books too, unfortunately. The internet ones you can block.


It doesn’t track users. It collects anonymous statistics and assign them to a unique ID without storing any other information about the user.

And it IS meant to replace cookies, but you can’t just replace them all at once and disable the legacy cookies. It is going to have a gradual transition.

And they did tell us about this many months ago.


Also disingeneous to call it adding ads to firefox, because that’s also not what is happening. They’re trying to replace cookies with something better for our privacy, and them developing this feature will not impact any users who block ads or disable tracking cookies already.

I think they should go ahead and make the feature so that people who don’t care about ads at least don’t get tracked.
