not damaging a car, what he considers attacking his ego by damaging his worthless scrap heaps. Weight on the word his, as they remain his cars even if you pay for them. he can take control of them or do whatever so you literally can’t even own a tesla, only suck up to musk.

i think so too. And even if they wouldnt be doing this, we should still treat it as if they are and fix the problem of it being even possible to gather information about users using 0-click methods like this.

Not really, but I have observed some commonalities about what is usually needed for what. This is also why I want to have ublock as first line of defence -> if something is blocked on that by default then its definitely something you dont want to allow anyway so its a little safer to experiment with noscript.

Also, with noscript you need to constantly adjust it when going to new websites. Default settings breaking things is more of a feature than fault to me. Its about taking more control over things rather than trusting everything by default. But after you identify what is safe to allow, you dont need to adjust more things if site itself doesnt change something which you will notice rightaway due to things breaking again.

Its really hard to list any helpful tips about what to look out for since its mostly just intuition for me and halfremembered things about what I have seen before. Its probably more helpful for each user to develop these practices themselves anyway. But test things by temporarily allowing stuff and permanently allow only those things you are relatively sure about. Also start by allowing the scripts from the main site and work your way from there.

On some sites the list of scripsites can have insane amount of entries. I tend to try stay away from those sites as its also good indication there is nothing worthwhile there anyway. If you absolutely need to use those anyway and think you should be able to trust the site due to them likely not doing anything illegal anyway, there is temporary allow everything button which basically disables noscript for that site for the session.

Also sometimes when i allow scripts, they disappear from the list. I’m not sure what that is about, maybe it has something to do with me running ublock too or it has something to do with how the scripts are loaded in general. I havent had any problems with it so I havent investigated it. Also sometimes when i allow stuff, more sites appear so its more likely something to do with how some scripts call other scripts and maybe have redundancies if some dont seem to work.

i use both ublock and noscript, ublock is much more lenient about allowing javascript so its good first line of defence. I try to allow only those javascripts that are absolutely necessary to what i want to do. So many sites have tons of unnecessary ones that do who knows what.

He is a danger to us all, man with that much money and completely insane by drug abuse. What if he decides nuclear war would be fun to watch? He is already in control of a country with most nukes in the world so it wouldnt be that hard to arrange. Wouldnt surprise me if he thought he could also stop it if he wanted or control everything about it.

yes, thank you for explaining it calmly

well, maybe i’m just over thinking it then

i’m not blaming other pirates for anything. What i’m saying is there are consequences for some things. For example, many things are not acted upon because corporations and governments arent aware of them. Or some things are just ignored because its cheaper for them to do nothing about it than act. If anything I’m putting my trust on other pirates for hoping they might consider how their actions could affect others instead of thinking only themselves or their immediate community.

Don’t you see the necessity of trying to manage how corporations might respond? And i’m not saying people shouldnt be doing things out of fear but everyone should try to act smartly so we can preserve what we have. This goes beyond what i said earlier so dont hang on only to what I said. i just cant untangle some thoughts from eachother and still be able to write text that doesnt meander too much.

i just dont have any faith that things can get better so i dont want them to get even worse. its better than nothing.

yeah, i just wish people thought more about these things. There are consequences not just to yourself but possibly towards fellow pirates and bystanders. Personally I have benefitted from family sharing greatly, much more than from piracy as with piracy you have to accept the possibility of malware which I cant afford at the moment. I really dont want to see valve rescind it.

far be it from me to defend any corporation, but doesnt this send wrong kind of a message to them? They didnt need to make family sharing, let alone remind you if you can already play a game through it when purchasing one. This isnt typical behaviour and should be allowed a little slack for it, to show other corporations that not being asshole is more profitable.

If valve goes bad then nothing is too horrible, but until that, its kind of bad form to stab a hand that offers a little kindness, even if their ultimate goal is to just make money by staying on top by having good will. I dont think we can expect to get anything better.

other corps dont seem to be getting the message that not being asshole is more profitable, but I think valve can very easily start thinking that being nice is weakness if that is exploited.

i guess i’m not getting hired for any work ever then… i just want to work and do my work well, not play their sick mindgames or pretend to be someone i’m not. I dont have any motivation to force myself to do work on fields outside my education either anymore.

how do people with no skills even get hired? I cant even get interview for job I fit perfectly for every thing they are asking for.

well yeah, but where do you find reliable information about that? i know there is the megathread but that doesnt have every site listed on the good ones nor the ones to avoid.

how do you know what source is sketchy?

that is good idea

that is much better than anything i could have hoped to achieve with this post. Though now i wonder what i should even do with the post since its pretty much useless now beyond sharing the link you provided.

Its probably best to just store the old text away in spoiler tags and put your link to the top so its easy to find, i’ll credit you for providing it.

yeah, but that still has the limitation of having to at least pretend. I dread to think what will happen when they stop caring about that and just directly take control.

if you think trump is bad, just wait to be ruled directly by those fuckers instead of via proxy.

I havent heard of that. I have been searching for firewall like this, thank you.
