  • Brave browser simplifies its fingerprinting protections

    No, https://privacytests.org/ is misleading, it shows only the results of the default browser settings - which absolutely nobody uses.

  • Best Alternatives to Brave that randomize fingerprints right out of the bat?

    So as far as hardened chromium forks go brave is the best and all there really is. For Firefox based hardened browsers unless you feel like manually hardened stock FF yourself, librewolf and mullvad browser (mull on Android) which leads me to Tor but with the drawbacks that make it less practical for certaint things mullvad known for their VPN that is is very bignin privacy so much you have nothing that ties to it like 99% of anything now days as yoi have anonimity bcnyoinoau with cash-crypro-or use a voucher no name email address phone number bank etc to sign upso they partner with then tor project and made a clearnet version of tor hardened fingerprint resistant as well as cookies scripts ect multiple identity proxy and built-in security that tor has standard safer safest with no script uBo and and their VPN and dns to take the place of tors multiple relay and encryption that is the tor network with no telemetry you hide in plain site as all the other using it look like you. You can n use this browsers like you would brave or your "main' so history bookmarks passwords etc but that defeats the purpose IMO but librewolf is also very hardened fingerprint resistant focused but you can use it like were using brave and still have the privacy and security and convenience. I use all 4 with different search engines depending on what I'm looking for or doing and of in have to use chrome then ungoogled Chromium on desktop and cromite on Android (fork of bromite which lost support from the devs) mull brave and cromite on is what in use on mobile. This isn't a complete list as FOSS for mobile has quite a few to try these are my favorite, Firefox focus on Android is Worth mentioning too. Sorry for the incoherent book. https://privacytests.org/

    careful with brave https://www.ghacks.net/2023/10/18/brave-is-installing-vpn-services-without-user-consent/?amp https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/issues/33726 among other things like the most popular browser compare site being owned by brave employees https://privacytests.org/ i guess when they say privacy they mean it, keeping things private from you too
  • Why Bother with uBlock Being Blocked in Chrome? Time to Switch to Firefox

    https://privacytests.org/ he eventually disclosed his employer in the back area of that website somewhere so thats better i guess.

    another one is how certain settings on brave search always reverts back on. or just one the send analytics one. if you use search on a different browser not their own. and etc.

    and firefox is funded in large part by google.. do you really think they dont share information?

    honestly acting like your browser is superior because no tracking is so silly lol. just use whatever browser you want and tune settings to your liking. harden if you must and move on. is it that much of a hassel? would you rather pay subscription for no tracking?

    - Ads with Psychological tricks

    Truly good websites have around 2 facts per 10 word sentence, and get instantly to the chase. Also: good websites give you the names of all their competitors/alternative websites before showing their own stuff, and give you further reading.

    Right now the world of technology is supposedly more innovative than ever, but somehow Wikipedia (https://www.wikipedia.org/) and Search Hackernews (https://hn.algolia.com/) beat billion dollar search engines.

    Articles written decades ago are still unsurpassed in terms of quality and ease of understanding, but the best modern websites can do is textbook explanations. It is time society graduates from boilerplate buzzword textbook culture.

    Now the gems of the internet are slowly being buried beneath mountains of trash.

    If something sounds boilerplate it isn't good enough.

    Don't bother saying something that has been said before, and better.

  • What makes a translation great

    >for more detail: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu...

    Oh, I see. We actually discussed Pound about four years ago - just a little back and forth about the ABC of Reading: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24196681

    >What's your explanation of why Pound went Fascist?

    I'm not sure I particularly have one; I haven't read any of his longer political or cultural (i.e. non-literary) works. I just think it's silly to correlate an approach to translation that you dislike with fascism. Especially as I'm not sure it even makes sense on its own terms: I can only read your comment as 'lazy translator? Figures that he would be a fascist', but if I imagine the type of translation a fascist would approve of, the approach I picture is fastidious, fussy, concerned with fidelity to the point of stickler-ishness. (Isn't that from where we get 'grammar nazi'?)

    And oh, well, since you ask I'll take a shy at it: my vague sense is that he became fascist because saw a society in decline due to it becoming more and more a sham society: opulence without virtue, power without vigour, money no longer tied to actually existing goods. (Of course, all of this shades easily into antisemitism.) He saw fascism as the answer; It's easier to see in retrospect that it wasn't.

    "multiplayer notepad" goes back 15 years at least - https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu... notepad&sort=byDate&type=comment

    it was used back with a popular website which opened a text document and anyone viewing could type, but I can't remember the name. That became a thing in Google Docs, Microsoft Office, Floobits, and lots of self-hosted and cloned sites.

    Ok, but please don't post unsubstantive comments to Hacker News.

    I understand the reason for repeating these sentiments—it's the same reason why they get upvoted to the top of threads*—but repetition of this kind is what we're most trying to avoid here.

    yeah there are only three stories coming up from the site search

    only one is semanthically correct, the other pick up the wrong version of clustering (i.e. k-means instead of multi master writes)

    but yeah if one doesn't test the hard cases, how does one know it preserves semantics :D
