Ok, this one is bleak.
Oh, this was an excellent read. Thanks for the link!
China owns a bit under a trillion USD of US Treasury bonds, that is to say, debt. If they decide to liquidate it, that's enough to seriously affect the value of those bonds, and therefore the US's ability to borrow more money, and from there, the value of the dollar.
I am in mad love with this Darmok-ass comment.
That's going to take a lot of engineering investment and I really, really hope they understand this and pull it off.
Let's maybe not bring fash comics to Lemmy...
There's an MV3 version of uBlock Origin, but it's kind of sparse. I switched to Adguard and it works just fine.
C'est un des rares instruments tradables pas régulés. Du coup, ouais, ça continue de se trader, et tant qu'il y a encore du monde pour continuer d'acheter, même un peu plus cher qu'hier, il y a du monde pour continuer de vendre.
Ah, that Techlicious link is a great find, thanks. It does lay out clearly what the theoretical concern is. That's still a far cry from the "Google will start fingerprintint you" scenario that seems to have people up in arms.
Thanks for digging out this link, I really appreciate it.
Thanks -- that's an announcement about policy updates. I already read it and it says nothing about fingerprinting. The only change to underlying technologies it mentions is the use of e.g. trusted execution environments (the doc for which, per a further link, is in fact on github). Those seem to claim that they let announcers run ad campaigns through Google ads while keeping their campaign data provably locked away from Google. So, basically, all these links are about purported "privacy-enhancing" techs, and you'd be forgiven for taking that with an enormous grain of salt, but either way, nothing in there about fingerprinting.
The Guardian article basically paraphrases the Tuta one -- or it's the other way around, maybe -- but does also not provide actual sources.
I just want a source on what fingerprinting Tuta is claiming Google will start using. I feel like the details of the purported fingerprinting techniques should be front and center to this discussion and I'm frustrated that the article entirely fails to provide that info.
I am emotionally invested in Sandy.
