Tiny bit concerning that I totally see him making a post like that.

But also, why is everybody so offended by censored words here?

I think because it’s a sign how social media corps have trained us to avoid certain words or even create new ones (for example “unalive” instead of “kill”).

Oh wow that’s really interesting! Thanks for the explanation.

though the concept of adoption differs between the West and the Arab world

very curious about that. how does it differ?

The title is shit but they explain why they think it’s illegal: https://browsergate.eu/why-its-illegal/

I can’t tell you if that’s technically sound but that’s what was said on the page linked…

Ehh, I think it depends on the person. I saw basically no one in person for weeks and it didn’t bother me a lot. Humans are social animals, but we are also all very different.

Serious question: Why do you need to remind yourself where north is in your house? Is this important somehow?

Just a curious European here who thinks about cardinal directions about once a year…

Aha! I figured it out. Apparently my Tor browser got old extensions in there from older Tor versions (Tor Button and something i can’t remember, they were set to deprecated and were disabled). I had Tor literally installed for… over 10 years or something, so I would imagine it didn’t reset itself properly after doing one update or another. After removing the Tor Browser data folder and reinstalling it (for good measure, don’t think that was necessary), I get random values on the page.

EDIT: One additional thought on that… I feel this is something Tor Browser should consider automatically when applying updates. At least a warning would be good to reset your data once in a while to stay non-unique.

I can actually replicated that. Tor Browser without extensions (only the default https anywhere and noscript) on Mac OS. Pretty scary? Wondering how this works.
