pp has been introduced 3 years ago and it’s a known tracking parameter. And it’s not some obscure website we’re talking about, it’s the largest website in the world…

If they’re not going to keep up with parameters after so many years I think it’s very misleading and potentially even harmful to keep offering this feature.

I’ve tried it on a fresh profile without any extensions installed and it doesn’t work there either.

Yes, for example Youtube video links are copied with the &pp= tracking information. Search for something on Youtube, right-click on a result title, and copy with or without tracking gives you the same thing (with the pp=).

It will fall through much faster than that. I’m thinking two years, tops.

short of all using the same wordpress or whatnot hoster, that is.

That’s the thing, that’s common practice. It’s basically a given nowadays for shared web hosting to use one IP for a few dozen websites, or for a service to leverage a load/geo-balancer with 20 IPs into a CDN serving static assets for thousands of domains.

Jesus gets crucified.

with infrastructure the size of twitter you can also blackhole their whole IP range

Just one note, services the size of Twitter typically use cloud infrastructure so if you block that indiscriminately you risk blocking a lot of unrelated stuff.

I mean, the process is not dying in either gif, so…

It stops working occasionally but they release fixed versions pretty fast.

Also, it’s established practice for workers to stagger their off days across the week.

This way both the company and things like services, banks, stores etc. can be available 7 days a week without any undue pressure.

So they’re already well positioned to take advantage of flexible working time.

Isn’t it fourth?

Mozilla has already shipped strict privacy mode by default in recent versions of Firefox so they’re already a leg up on this.

Google is currently trying to transition people to its own proprietary method of tracking (where the browser itself tracks you) so they would love it if third party cookies were no longer usable for that.

Mozilla has also added a direct tracking feature (anonimized) to Firefox btw. Not sure what their agenda is.

Websites are irrelevant, if third party cookies stop working in major browsers there’s no point in setting them anymore, they’ll be ignored.

Bayesian filters are statistical, they have nothing to do with machine learning.

You should consider if you really want to integrate your application super tightly with the HTTP protocol.

Will it always be used exclusively over a REST-ful HTTP API that you control, and it has exactly one hop to the client, or passes through hops that can be trusted to never alter the HTTP metadata significantly? In that case you can afford to make HTTP codes semantically relevant for your app.

But maybe you need to pass data through multiple different types of layers and different mechanisms (socket protocols, pub-sub, file storage etc.) In that case you want all your semantics to be independent from any form of transport.

If any client app is blindly converting body to JSON without checking (at the very least) content type and size, they deserve what they get.

If you want to make it part of your API spec to always return JSON that’s one thing, but don’t do it to make up for poorly written clients. There’s no end of ways in which clients can fail. Sticking to a clear spec is the only way to preserve your sanity.

Endeavour differs very little from Arch once you’re past the installer. To the point I’ve never understood why it’s a standalone distro instead of an optional Arch installer, as an alternative to/part of archinstall.

They buy the hardware once then sell services based on it.

Oh definitely, Manjaro is all about “mommy knows best”. It’s why people who say “you should use Arch instead of Manjaro” are completely missing the point.

Technically, Manjaro used Arch exactly as intended, leveraging its flexibility, but it’s very ironic that it used it to remove said flexibility. I’m guessing it’s why some Arch fans feel betrayed and hate Manjaro.

Yeah you don’t want your computer to be stable for 5 years going, that’s very un-Arch.

Hilarious.
