Wow, that’s a sobering read. And comprehensive, and insightful. I hope this gets some attention and results in much needed improvements in that area.

link Englishfedilink 24 days ago3·arrow-up No engagement rings, by our values those are kinda corny. Wedding rings we got from a jewelry factory that supplies much of the country, which happens to be local to where we lived at the time. Got them at factory price. Not quite $12, but not much higher. :)

link fedilink 2 months ago21·arrow-up 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.

link Englishfedilink 4 months ago1·arrow-up 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.
- Balinares@pawb.socialtoTechnology@lemmy.world•Digital Fingerprinting: Google launched a new era of tracking worse than cookie banners | Tuta
link Englishfedilink 3·arrow-up 4 months agoedit-2 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.

link Englishfedilink 4 months ago4·arrow-up I’m aware of fingerprinting techniques, thank you. The article is claiming that Google will start using some of those and I’m looking for the source for that claim, hopefully with specifics about which techniques are involved. Confusingly, the article does not appear to provide such a source.

link Englishfedilink 4 months ago12·arrow-up You’d THINK the article would link to a source about the fingerprinting in question instead of 90% filler slop and ads for their own service… Anyone got a link?

(By which I mean, of course you could, same as you could replace any pronoun with one or several nouns, that being the entire deal with pro-nouns. We could but pronouns save us from having to do that.)

Is your pigeons’ threatspin routine like, 360 spin one way then 360 spin the other way then charge? That’s what I’ve observed most often. You can tell how pissed the pigeon is by the speed of the spin too.
