Comment Re:From the article it's just browser fingerprinti (Score 2) 82

I suspect GP's point is that every malware blocker in every browser is likely to treat this kind of script as hostile, except for Chrome because Google are currently nerfing the ability for blockers to intercept hostile scripts in one of the most blatantly user-hostile changes they've ever made.

If Apple play along with Safari then every other browser and its malware blocking plugins are about to be toast in a huge retrograde step for Internet privacy. But not even Cloudflare is going to get away with blocking every iOS device if Apple continues to allow blockers to intercept this kind of script.

Did anyone mention recently that simultaneously controlling both the most popular web browser and several of the most popular ad-supported web properties might be a little anticompetitive, and that it's about time that Google was broken up? It's probably time for that drum to start beating a bit louder again.

Comment Re:The death of homework (Score 1) 109

If school hours aren't long enough to allow this, why not make school hours longer!

First, because there are only 24 hours in a day.

Second: I took AP classes constantly. Compared to normal classes, there was not "more homework." The homework was MORE RIGOROUS. For students who were not equipped for it, it might have taken more time than the "standard" class homework.

Third - The quantity of homework has gone up significantly since I grew up in the 1970s. - Every time I see some senilefuck say things like this, I suspect they're either lying or just not remembering correctly. Time to change your Depends in the retirement home, grandpa.

Once a month it tries to force my browser default back to Edge. I tell it to fuck off.

A few times they've done it BEHIND MY BACK and I had to fix it manually after a fake "patch" to windows.

Before the days of Dumbass Fuckwit Trump and the Constitution Hating Treasonshit GOP, we had government entities that SUED Microsoft under Antitrust law for this shit.

Fuck the GOP. Fuck them for enabling this shit. Every crossburning Constitution-hating member of the GOP is a fucking shitrag.

but IIRC, Apple has iOS's iCloud backup on by default (and quickly runs out of space and then nags you to subscribe to a paid tier).

DUH. That's the play. They force you into a "service" as an "opt out." Then - oh, the free tier is insufficient. Or the free tier JUST GOES AWAY and then they're holding your computer hostage.

Retardican GOP failed utterly at governance, the government entities that were supposed to be watching out for us and enforcing antitrust law died under Trump. Every Retardican traitor to the Constitution helped cause this shit.
