The “BetterHelp” YouTube Virus is BACK

Nice

Electricians will deny this is true but then just make up a new word for it (inductance)

The Google internet sure is pretty on Maps

Default linux works too ofc, I didn’t know they took that route.
Most other browsers have very specific useragents, so the main pool of same useragents will be hardened browsers anyway.

Thank you for checking

Try it with high security settings in tor, it might be something like canvas. Did you enable any permissions for the website?

That would be a fail of the fingerprinting protection. A properly set up TOR browser for example should not allow that detection by any means. If you know how to detect it, please report it as a critical vulnerability.

I could think of maybe some edge case behavior in webrenderer or js cavas etc., which would mainly expose info on the specific browser and underlying hardware, but that is all of course blocked of or fixed in hardened browsers.

Further, if you have a reliable method, you could sell it off to for example Netflix, who are trying to block higher resolutions for Linux browsers but are currently foiled by changing the useragent (if you have widevine set up).

That can’t have been the reason, rather the fact it could tell.
Your browser sends information about its version and the os in the useragent string. It is supposed to lie and say it is a very commonly used useragent, specifically for purposes of fingerprinting. That would be windows, default configuration, firefox version something not you firefox version

you can physically wire A into C, it’s the same protocol. This won’t be broken like other adapters because neither device even knows about it

ssds are a really cheap upgrade, and have been for a while. My systems of similsr age have had ssd upgrades for about 5 years now. It’ll likely be limited to sata speeds though.

I built it 6 months ago on a 3700x, took 3h. Where firefox took 20 minutes

The missing number is drive speed, because 4GB ram are not nearly enough, swapping is necessary. But with fast moder drives (were pcie ssds a thing back then?) expect half a day

For reference my modern system sits well below 20 minutes without pgo, and below 40 with.

I would not say that necessarily. I asked the Gentoo people and they had similar setups with 12h. At 4GB ram it’ll mainly come down to swapping, so disk speed.
If the 5 days were you experience, was it using a slow hdd?
Edit: remember to disable pgo, wherever you see it. It can double your compile times

Currently the main repo.
Ideally youd take the definitely broken ones into the archive.
But there is always someone still using them just fine, how could you possibly tell when an app isn’t useful anymore?

Archive is for old versions not old apps. As in if you don’t wanna fiddle with versions you have no reason to enable the repo.
It will only cause casual users issues with not finding apps

Does it let you severely reduce padding and let you wrap around home screens?

I’ve had similar problems with kde apps on fdroid. I think they are rebuilding very often and that somehow gives a decent chance they are chaning the file you are downloading. So the store is correctly identifying the apk is not matching the info of the repo, because the repo is outdated compared to the file.
I suspect droidify had outdated repo info while fdroid did not. A refresh would have probably made it work on droidify too.

On lineageOS 20 it records the exact android build string as the Software for me, so “Android lineage_pdx215-userdebug 13 TQ3A.230901.001 b30079afa2”. Which is probably enough to uniquely identify me, and you if you have a less common phone or are on an older or uncommon version.

Needless to say I am pissed.

Try in the web interface, I would assume the instance blocks the images. Mine does too, with an error about the image being “too wide”, so some filter seems to malfunction for animated webp.

Even with OCR, couldn’t your copy at least in theory be laced with strategically placed minor word changes? Say throughout the book you pick 30 spots to change a word without changing the meaning of the text, or you introduce a typo. If every copy gets a different set of those that would be a unique identifier.
I think I have heard that being done with imperceptable changes in films sent for showings in theaters.
