HiddenLayer555@lemmy.mlto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Do you have “the” or “a” in your language? What language is it?English5·1 day agoMandarin:
No “the,” you just say the noun and that’s it.
“A” or any other quantity of a noun is generalized as a number, followed by a character indicating quantity, followed by the noun. “An apple” is 一个苹果 (yi ge ping guo), 一 literally means one, 个 is the character that denotes quantity (it’s the most common one but some nouns have different quantity adjectives), 苹果 is apple. Two is an exception because there’s a special character for it that’s different from the number two (两个苹果 as opposed to 二个苹果), but every other number quantity is the same as the number itself.

HiddenLayer555@lemmy.mlto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Americans that are in the armed forces, What is the current feeling inside it?English6·1 day agoPond scum is an extremely productive microecosystem. I won’t stand for you insulting it by comparing US soldiers to it.
Additionally, gonna hazard a guess that the majority of the protesters aren’t white or at least wouldn’t be considered white by the soldiers regardless of their skin tone. They’re literally protesting white supremacist actions by the government.
HiddenLayer555@lemmy.mlOPto Privacy@lemmy.ml•Browsers are complicit in browser fingerprinting.English9·1 day agoJust tried it. Am I Unique says yes.
Tor still reports your operating system and processor architecture which is dumb as hell. If you’re on Linux for example, that’s probably one of the biggest things making you unique. Why not just make everyone “Windows x64” since that’s the most common?
It also still reports extensions. Apparently it’s definitely possible to tell vanilla Tor and Tails users apart because Tails has uBlock Origin installed by default, and the generally accepted advice is to never install extensions on Tor, one reason being it could make you unique.
Also, apparently the default window size Tor chooses in an attempt to prevent the window size from being used in fingerprinting isn’t all that common, I got 1% and 5% on screen width and height respectively.
Tor doesn’t seem to have WebGL enabled by default so it can’t be used to fingerprint (though having it disabled is unique in itself).
Tor’s canvas data is unique but I’ve heard that it generates a new canvas fingerprint each time you restart it. I don’t know if that’s true or how well it works though.
Tor, like every other browser, also has something called “audio data” that’s a weird graph of numbers without units. No browser I’ve seen has ever not been unique for that category and Tor is no different. I didn’t mention it in the post because I don’t know what it is or if it has a genuine purpose or not.
I didn’t try Tor on my phone but I would hope it would block sensor access?
HiddenLayer555@lemmy.mlOPto Privacy@lemmy.ml•Browsers are complicit in browser fingerprinting.English51·1 day agoOne of the biggest reasons websites need to run JS is submitting form data to a server. Like this website.
But old forums did all this without JS by just using the HTML form’s submit functionality itself. The issue is it causes the page to refresh meaning you can’t keep any other unsubmitted forms, and you can get those annoying “submit form data again?” popups. So every website writes code to submit everything asynchronously.
Another major reason for using JS is dropdown menus and panels. You need to either write code to listen for the click and reveal/hide it as needed, or you have to do weird CSS tricks that are usually inferior in UX to a JavaScript implementation, or you have to bastardize the form dropdown selector into your general purpose dropdown.
These shouldn’t be things you need to implement yourself using a Turing complete programming language. These should be natively implemented in the browser and accessible through HTML.
Remember when the only way to play videos on websites was with Flash or Java applets? But then video playback got natively implemented into HTML and now it’s way easier and doesn’t even require JS.
If browsers did the same for asynchronous form submission and dropdown menus, it would get rid of 80% of websites’ need to run JS. Including this one.
But obviously they want you to run JS so they won’t do that.

They literally think they should be hailed as gods in the US and anyone who doesn’t is a traitor, you think they’d have any qualms about killing protestors when they’ve already been told that they’re anti-US terrorist scum?
It’s literally the exact same tactics the IDF uses. Wonder who Israel learned it from.

“Write a program that does this.”
“Fix this part”
“And this part”
“And this part”
“Wait you fucked up the first part again, change it back to when you first fixed it.”
“Ok now fix this last part.”
“Damnit why do you keep changing the first part I already told you it was fine!”
