I’m very sorry that your life feels so out of control that you need to lash out so quickly with condescension.

Did you want to talk? Or perhaps explain where you think I misunderstand?

And if you “device type” that…. You’ll see a router likely.

Yes.

And they would ask “why is there a router on your network”

Probably just MAC address lookups, but also possibly something weird like “ttl “ stats

It’s a rarity afaik, I’ve only heard of one or two cases, but a concerning report to me personally.

Though I’m Canadian so it’ll be a few years before it filters here (assuming it catches on)

Yeah, they can still tell that you’re Nat behind another router.

But they don’t like it because it gives them less access to your network and more possibility for something to be wrong

Some isp’s have been detecting the second router and giving people shit for it.

But I’m with you on that, I don’t trust the isp’s backdoored router-modem. Hard pass.

With physical access to the device and encryption chips, you basically can’t defend against those kinds of resources.

The world where I read the release notes.

Ask yourself the same question?

How is tracking better than a counter?

Currently they’re tracking everything you do. Mozilla thinks they should only get a counter.

Which of those is better?

Like, isn’t that why we all moved here?

As a user, if this replaces active tracking of your browsing, is that better for you?

Do you need your privacy from web tracking?

Or do you currently love having Google track everything you do?

The article is a huge misrepresentation and the author is an idiot.

Its impression tracking, not user tracking and its forced anonymous by design. There’s a few gigantic differences.

And they’re doing it to try and find a better way for advertisers to get some information without having to track everything you do (what happens now)

Huge misrepresentation of the facts.

Mozilla is creating an anonymous way to tell advertisers that someone saw x ads for product y after buying product y so that they can tell if the ads worked without tracking you.

They’re fed propaganda to believe that privacy doesn’t matter….

But just imagine a Google admin had access to all the information about you and wanted to blackmail you into doing something…. The sheer power of that is terrifying.

Could be another “ai is just cheap labor from India” scam.

But more importantly, at what cost here? I mean how much processing power and engineering time is required and at what cost….to try and detect bike thefts?

Wouldn’t it be cheaper just to buy them a new bike?

Well I give them credit for trying to be transparent with the server code (they made a press release about it just recently), but I worry that you may be right.

It could be the same shit.

I’d like to believe that Apple recognizes the value in privacy, given they’re making it a central part of their brand, and I know it’s been a big part of their tech up until now……

But I’m also aware that they’re beholden to the same cash that corrupts everyone else.

Time will tell.

Sooo that could be things like “address” fields on websites, which is mildly creepy, but not “screenshot every 30 seconds” creepy, but it’s certainly vague enough to make me feel uneasy.

Right???

Do you have sources on this?

I haven’t seen any suggestion that Apple’s intelligence is recording what you do beyond when you call for it…
