I don’t mind the Youtube algorithm, it used to be better but it’s still good enough. I don’t use Youtube with an account so I have gotten good at “training” it and getting it to show stuff I’m actually interested in. The X algorithm is not bad either, if I post art related stuff it will only show me art related stuff.
Highly disagree. I'm down to one hyperspecific account that follows hundreds of people, and my "for you" page might as well be someone else's. Literally nothing there matches the purpose of the account.
I'm also convinced that clicking "not interested" doesn't do anything because every time I click it, I can just refresh the tab and see the exact same tweet all over again.
I scream this and my love for Linux from the rooftops, hoping other people show the love for the internet and things like I do and don't put up with the exploitation. It's _OUR_ psychyes and their psychological manipulation, and our future generations they're going after.
And you can check your fingerprints with: https://coveryourtracks.eff.org/ that has a adtrack company that openly shows how it fingerprints you, with WebGL, canvas'ing, timestamps.
I have the random timestamp addon, random user-agents, canvas blocker, exfil data, Ublock origin. The 0.0.0.0 day 'Port Scanner' -> https://github.com/garywill/LAN-port-scan-forbidder
Yeah, they can use JS to ping stuff on our LANs to fingerprint too.
It's an internet hellscape out there.
Most people don't care. I do.
Out of curiosity, does it successfully block https://fingerprint.com/?
