your critic is more a matter of focus than agenda.
EFF is more focused on protocols and crypto and software per se. while usability, end user abuse etc is not high on it's priorities.
now those are used to match a 3rd party id. you just need a gdpr_workaround schema in your data base with two columns user-id, google-random-id with N-1 records indexed both ways.
gdpr has restrictions on pin pointing a single person. this is effectively doing that, but claim it is not, because random ids. apple is just a little better with how device-advertiser-id works.
i think the solution to this problem (module or not) will be the same solution to the shared lib problem.
npm is a dumpster fire, but the larger projects are usually fine (the /bin equivalent). the worst problem is that every large project pull in different versions of whatever libs they wanted to use (which the singleton util lib proposed in the article would solve)
Because everyone wants our taxes to crack down on every herb garden in the neighborhood that evades taxes! specially the heirloom tomatoes! those creates multi-generation lost taxes oportunities!
everything that is somewhat not-ilegal will have small scale informal market. Friends grown their own tobacco, roast their own coffee... and all sell a little on the side.
how dense you have to be to think a literal weed would be different?
the obvious fake content on youtube and facebook was reported and removed, but all it did was hide the traces of the content that flooded private whatsapp groups.
if you have good SEO you do not have to pay google. Ironically.
so by allowing the copy cats, they kill the value of your good SEO and force your hand to pay for premium placement, generating revenue that wouldn't exist to them without the malicious clones.
this list is great.
because yor denial, only covers the moderation sugar on top. the damage is already done. a long time ago.
even the most hipster eco hand made brands in wholefoods are most likely an off brand of nestle or uses their products as main ingredient and doesn't list it as such.
it's virtually impossible to buy food today that is not owned by 3 companies, who will eventually "take the fall" but be too big for it to matter
very relevant to the current climate. It brings up the important distinction between exile, refugee, hedonist. Its very, interesting (?), to see the three groups converging to the same country as you see the contemporary political changes creating refugees on one side, hedonists with their new found money on the other, and exiles in the middle.
Also important the call to how Mail in the 70s was so important to this all. Bringing back the current propaganda wars, this should be a central point on the ongoing talks to add backdoors to whatsapp and many other platforms that were being discussed here last week.
not to mention people. no matter how reputable the car renter is, it is still hiring a minimum wage clerk who will handle all your documents and credit card.
my little research suggests the opposite
the riots have been going on for a while.
recently, criminal mobs wearing white shirt are entering the subways with battons and violently attacking the protesters. all caugth on camera.
police is never present when white shirts show up, only hours later.
even though there are videos of all the white shirts, only the black shirts who are protesting in a pacifist maner are being indicted, and some under laws about carring a weapon because they were photographed with a traffic cone used to mitigate police tear gas granades.
this whole thing is as bad as crimea.
people close the bathroom door when they poop. I guess they also close the door when they whatch porn.
using a vpn is akin to (car analogy time) trying to using a rental car while in public. you actually expose yourself to the rental company, who might be shadier than the people at the place you're showing up at, who can still see you trhu the window (analogy for your 3rd party cookies)
and I am not even joking. And the irony is they are doing it using UK's old gameplan, via capitalistic investment with a side of corruption and military bullying. They call it Belt and Road, instead of Empire.
