Don't even have to go very far. The company responses say exactly what's going on. (d) the law doesn't say we can't create cookies unrelated to ad tracking.

âoeGlobal Privacy Controls only restricts certain uses of third-party data and allows website operators to override GPC signals, and we offer the Limited Data Use feature to help websites indicate what permissions they have. When data is transmitted to us with the LDU flag, we restrict the use of that dataâ

we opt the user out of sharing personal data with third parties for personalized advertisingâ a Microsoft spokesperson said. âoeCertain Microsoft cookies are necessary for operational purposes, and may therefore be placed and read even when a GPC signal is detected.â

You're just feeding an obvious troll. Or is it some kind of personal thing? You enjoy pointing out what an idiot the identity is?

Gotta get some kicks somewhere.

So you're looking for a site that presents news from specific curated sources? If you can find any that still do RSS, use a RSS reader :)

What? Passive cooling (without fans or something) becomes more effective because of high temps (I think that's what you were trying to say)?

That is correct, because delta T is the most important factor in thermal transfer. Thanks for getting it.

If you're so confident that high temps and passive cooling are good for chips and such, take the heatsinks off everything in your computer

Oh fuck, I forgot, you're stupid.

It's also possible that webXray is confusing ad/tracking cookies with cookies required for normal site operation

There is no such thing. Everything done with cookies can be done some other way EXCEPT for tracking, e.g. with hidden form variables or additional arguments in a request.

When I look at Facebook, my feed used to be 99% stuff posted by my friends and family. Now, it is only about 20% stuff posted by my friends and family.

It's dangerous to go alone, take this.

Also, never use the app. Not only is it fucking stupid in general to trust Facebook to run code on your phone directly (it's not great in the browser either) but a prior version of their app copied everyone's contacts and then DELETED THEM FROM THEIR PHONES so we know conclusively that using the app is a shit plan.

The moment they started chasing engagement instead of users was the point when they became a net harm to society.

The original goal of Facebook was for Zuckerfuck to make engagement with women by tricking them into trusting him with misuse of their PII.
