Putting “I have nothing to hide” to the test. Let’s see how it shakes out.

But remember, people said “I have nothing to hide”.

I didn’t change the frame of reference. Those technologies are 30 years old. Back when I started using computers, you had to download every little thing and websites looked like shit. That was the problem that needed solving. Your “solution” was to basically just keep doing that. In fact, you don’t even think it was a problem.

Viruses and malware didn’t exist in your world, did they? You were happy loading up any old program onto your DOS machine to test it, right? No sandboxing, no nothing. The world was perfect back then. Java applets were a treat too, right? Running right in your user environment with access to the full disk. Why ever change that? There wouldn’t ever be a problem with drive-by infections. Nooo, full-disk access is not a problem to solve.

GIFs were an amazing technology too. We should’ve stayed with that instead of streaming or upload videos to watch them in the browser. Yeah, I loved having to download everything then hope the video format was playable locally.

Bro, your “proposal” to just stay stuck in Y2K is garbage and you expect me to just nod along. Good old days my ass. Web apps exist for a bloody reason and solve real problems. If you seriously think they’re just here to flash ads at you and track you, then you stopped thinking years ago. Think about a real, alternative solution instead just “we don’t need it”. It might actually get some dust off the cogs in that machine of yours instead of just storing old memories and wishing times hadn’t changed.

You’re shouting at clouds old man. I thought you were going to propose an actual solution, not just weather against the times.

I’m not sure what the solution is that you’re proposing. Web documents with links to download software instead of web apps? Am I understanding that right?

I am curious, what do you think would’ve been the better solution?

Digital fingerprinting collects and analyzes multiple data points from a user’s device - such as screen resolution, installed fonts, browser settings, and even battery status - to create a unique profile

Why is all this information available in the first place? Why the hell does a website need to know which fonts are installed, which browser settings are active, and why the hell would it require the battery status? Why are browsers sharing that much information in the first place?

A breastfeeding pillow? Wat?

That rizzed my brain bro.

(No idea what fuck that meant, but I think you did a better job)

You got got my friend, that’s Windows XP 💀💀💀

Get fucked Nintento. Get. Fucked!

What does this have to do with Steam?

Waste of talent - unless it’s really what they want to do, then that’s fine.

Bro, I have ban this community. It’s going to get spammed by goddamn Musk, Trump and other US news.

It’ll make calculating steam sale prices quite easy, won’t it?

Maybe we can finally let go of our obsession with the USA and forge alliances with better partners that don’t think they are better, chosen by god, or whatever.

Money see

As long as the nuke is dropped on my head, I don’t care.

And don’t you dare try to escape it, you illegal immigrant! You will roast and you will die, and that’s how it is. Don’t you dare come and come here to replace our whiteness.

Or alternatively: “Why can’t those people just stay in their country that we are robbing and exploiting? We’re giving them jerbs! And look at all the free clothes we send over to destroy their local retailers. We’re just doing them a favor, they don’t know how to run a business anyway.”
