Can you imagine explaining to someone in 1999 that a significant amount of politics in 2025 would surround what websites we decide to spend 12 hours a day on

Fingerprinting unfortunately uses more than useragent strings. It takes hashes of data in your browser from a javascript context that is not easily masked or removed. For example, it might render a gradient of colors projected onto a curved 3d plane. The specific result of this will create a unique hash for your GPU. They can also approximate your geolocation by abusing the time-to-live information within a TCP packet, which is something you can’t control on the clientside at all. If you TRULY want to avoid tracking by google, you need to block google domains in your hosts file and maybe consider disabling javascript on all sites by default until you trust them. Also don’t use google.

The internet feels post-apocalyptic now. I no longer have any social media accounts (does lemmy count?) . Places that I spent over a decade on now feel so hostile and foreign. I joined reddit as a teenager wanting to read f7u12 comics, and now reddit feels like a total outrage machine. I mean the ads are crap but the algorithm doesn’t show me content I WANT to see anymore. It just shows me videos of car accidents and street fights and other things that get my cortisol levels up. Blocking subreddits straight up doesnt work. I like that on lemmy I can just filter only by the communities I subscribe to

That’s fine. A more fragmented internet is better for the world

Digg: “join us reddit…”

To be fair, the web has become flooded with AI slop. Search engines have never been more useless. I’ve started using kagi and I’m trying to be more intentional about it but after a bit of searching it’s often easier to just ask claude

It’s the principle of letting uneducated people dictate what words are acceptable to us

There are also some fascist states that have endured quite long like […] United States

Lmao, let me know how freshman year poli sci turns out for you

idk about trees but Thailand has the highest traffic fatality rate in Asia and one of the highest in the world; far higher than the US

Italy, Germany, Chile

Network effect. People want to order online, and they don’t want to have to create a new account to do so. Doordash already exists, so it’s easy to go to the app to find food, rather than looking up your favorite pizza place and signing up through whatever weird 3rd party payment system they use

Except the 99% of times it hasnt

I got back from a month long trip to thailand and not only do I want to go back but I want to sell all my shit and move there
