what, inform me please, which distros and DEs say that? I couldnt find it by search.

I dont think Reddit would want to make their own internal metrics worse, they arent getting paid for that. They needed to go mainstream though, and the best working tactic out there was (still kinda is) simplification and infinite scroll. Reddit did both.

Website A can link to Website B which you might want to share. You might not want to visit B however, for some arbitrary reason. Plus, it seems like its very easy to track who shares your website on iOS now since only favicons will be requested.

The Internet contains a lot of scams. Does that make the WWW, a scam? No. Same thing.

Unnecessary is key. Fancy animations, interaction reminders, cookie popups... they arent "necessary", but they make the experience _mostly_ better for both users (convenience), developers (easier development) AND management. Parent comment is unfortunately right, the web without JS will only be niche platforms designed for the noJS auidence

Why not use about:profiles?

just a heads up on the privacy aspect: other than possible cross-site 0-days, tracking usually occurs with your browser fingerprint which by default doesnt change w/ Containers (its extremely hard to properly and accurately change it anyways, there are leaks even in the network layer) so it doesnt have too much of an effect except for unsophisticated ad networks/analytics

> you aren't entitled to feel superior for not using it

I will break the HN spirit but you kind of wanted to say that there. I didnt imply that at all, nothing near that. The dataset is just, imo, too big to give extremely accurate (or more accurate than human-thought) answers for specific questions.

So Tor and I2P also should be criticized? IMO, something being away enough from the government that it starts to get abused shows how secure/private it is.

Preserving privacy, reliable transactions with no, i repeat, no bank or govmnt involvement, no kyc. No/low fees (on some currencies), public immutable databases...

Unrelated: Any 'grassroots hacker website' that doesnt echo the same thing over and over :/?

Robbing banks require a lot of smarts too. Say, why do we put bank robbers in jail when they could be smart entrepreneurs instead?

Disagree. I can be more or less certain that documentation authors or write-ups have knowledge about the topic im researching to a reasonable degree, because 1) they need accurate and efficient code that makes sense to establish a relationship with the reader and compete with other solutions 2) humans are bad at explaining things they dont know about opposed to executing or managing unknowns

ChatGPT? None of these. Its a giant probability calculator that wants my prompts and its own answers to foster itself. This also nurtures its inaccuracies and makes it easier to confidently lie. I hardly find any reasonable use for ChatGPT other than quick completion suggestions for at a maximum of 2-3 lines, because thats what its designed for.
