Are those things like mouse jigglers? It seems those would only work if enough people use them to create a blanket of obscurity.

Isn't there any hardware that just... doesn't log this stuff in a way that's retrievable by backend server scripts?

Wait till they start using w as a vowel

Damn, that sucks. We really do live in a dystopian hellscape...

NoScripts and CanvasBlocker can help reduce your fingerprints.

Basically, most websites these days run javascript to harvest this info from your device. Sometimes they even integrate it into their basic functionality so that it breaks the site if you block it.

A few browser extensions can help with that further. UBlockOrigin, NoScripts, CanvasBlocker, Privacy Badger, Consent-O-Matic, etc. Maybe Decentraleyes but I don't fully understand that one yet.

Then there's DNS proxying and/or DoH, and a variety of other settings that can be tweaked for maximum privacy.

Any one of these things alone will leave holes, but putting them all together can significantly reduce your trackability and fingerprint. Of course it's a trade-off because some of these will break websites, but most allow granular exceptions so you can still use the sites you need.

In any case, a VPN is an important part of that, but the main purpose is to make it harder for your ISP to track you. Obscuring your IP from web hosts is just a bonus.

You should back those up first and consider contributing them elsewhere. Maybe even just a WriteFreely blog with all your old comments and context.

I wish there was a third-party reddit archive, because before it enshittified it was a great resource for a lot of niche topics.

Caffeine is toxic to most animals. Milk chocolate has so little actual chocolate in it that there's virtually no caffeine, so that's why your vet tells you not to worry about the snickers bar. If you eat dark chocolate because you're not a troglodyte then you might have more to worry about

EYE OF A HURRICANE, LISTEN TO YOURSELF CHURN, HO HO HODEEHO, HUMDEE DOODLE DEEDLE DEE, it's the end of the world as we know it. And I feeeeel fiiiiiiinnne...

You could've watched Monty Python and still read it in the Swedish Chef's accent.

I always read it in a Canadian accent, because I didn't know what Swedish people sounded like when I watched it as a kid, so I just assumed they sound like Canadians. As is reasonable...

The ø sounds more like an ö from German. In fact, Swedish uses the ö instead if the ø.

The monty python slides are just a humørous stylization, nothing more
