Because all they're growing up with is dumbed down corporate black boxes of tech devices, along with a narrative that it's wrong and evil to build, fix, copy, and be curious

Do not use Kiwi Browser. It's based on an extremely out of date version of chromium and therefore very vulnerable.

At first I thought it was just some edgy troll community, but it didn't take long for me to find a fairly upvoted comment saying "look, I just don't like immigrants" or something like that. So yeah, seems like that kind of place over there...

I wonder if it's an SD card failure.

Mine was up for 200 days or so, basically untouched, before I upgraded the hardware.

Sure enough, the .zip TLD is just being used for malicious activity

There are far more robust methods of fingerprinting to spy on users anyway (adding up all the details of screen size, available fonts, language, os, etc, etc), so I don't think removing the user agent would have much impact in reducing fingerprinting alone. It's also useful as a quick and simple way to check the type of device, os, or browser the user is on and serve the correct content (download link for one's OS) or block troublesome clients (broken bots)

Meta joining the fediverse is like Raytheon joining anti-war protests. They are not there for sincere participation.

It's refreshing being on Lemmy and being able to see a good discussion on vps with (unlike reddit) no bot comment spam and no users engaging in paid shilling.

A video I recently saw about this problem: YouTube's Science Spam Crisis

Spam videos have always been a huge problem just from simple automated scripts that create bulk quantities of useless videos. But now with ai the videos are a bigger problem because they seem real enough at first glance and people are less likely to click away immediately and will have their time wasted more.

Doesn't matter that much. Personally I'd just go with virtualbox because it's open source.

True with Bitcoin. Not with Monero if I understand correctly.
