I feel as though this take is fully fud. It sounds like a take that came from seeing tons of advertisements for vpns without really understanding how they work. Maybe I’m wrong about you. That said, in general, a VPN is not a great cloak for piracy.
I keep having to remind people. Chatgpt is only as good as the prompt you give it. I am astounded as the amount of garbage that some people get, but I also know that it’s generally because their prompts are garbage.
Sometimes it’s output sucks, even with good input. But likely, if the output is bad, the input was bad.
Come on dude, you know exactly what he meant. Social media is a broad category, but when someone mentions it in this context, it’s very clear what they mean.
You’re about 30 years off, but nice try.
You absolutely were talking about that. Maybe not as your main point, but it was part of your statement.
There it is, the dumbest thing I’ll read all day.

Fun fact, the Foo fighters own all of their music. They’re one of the few if only bands that actually do. The main reason is the fact that after Nirvana Dave grohl had fuck you money. This is one of the reasons why that band is so special. For them it is all about the music. It didn’t start out as a struggle. All of their catalog is a passion project, and that’s pretty cool.
That said, I doubt a lawsuit would really go anywhere.

“oh, geez, that’s terrible.”
What is your damage?
I looked in their post history and don’t see where you reached this conclusion. It’s clear to me that you are just saying that in order to… Save face because you’ve got nothing?
Big oof.
I doubt this has much to do with Google maps and more to do with Google being cockwombles in general.
Organic maps in the US is fucking awful and quite literally unusable.
You should watch till like the 4th episode I’d say. There is a lot happening that doesn’t have context until a bit later one. It’s an excellent story, but it is a slow burn.
I’ve never played any of the games
SVN is trash and the people who advocate for it over git are probably pretty crappy developers.
Reason being, if they have trouble understanding git, I have little faith in their ability to create competent code.
Wow, there is approximately 2 people in these comments that actually read the article.
I enjoyed it
It is not targeted advertising. There is an entire writeup about it that you haven’t read (obviously). You clearly have no idea how it works.
Advertising tracking, but less creepy
First, we need to go over Firefox’s Privacy-Preserving Attribution, or PPA for short. Marketing attribution is the process for tracking how many sales, conversions, or other goals originate from a given advertising campaign. For example, when Nike releases a new pair of shoes, it creates multiple ad campaigns to market those shoes on TV, Instagram, and so on. Attribution is how Nike tracks how many shoes were purchased from a given advertisement.
The most popular way to track attribution right now is with individual tracking. For example, you might click on a web ad for the Nike shoes, and a cookie is stored in your web browser. If you buy the shoes, Nike’s store might check that cookie, so it knows which ad was responsible for convincing you to buy shoes. There are many other ways for attribution to work, but most of them use individual tracking like cookies, which allows other information to be collected with the marketing data. For example, Nike’s marketing people might want to know which ad you clicked on and your estimated age, so they know which demographics are buying the most shoes.
Mozilla’s PPA aims to build an attribution system without the creepy individual tracking. Sites can ask Firefox to monitor attribution for advertisements, and then later ask for a report, which is only provided in an anonymized collection “combined with many similar reports by the aggregation service.” For example, instead of Nike getting something like, “Billy Bob, aged 29, was one of 728 people in June who completed a purchase from the Instagram ad,” Nike would get something more like, “47% of the people who clicked the Instagram ad in June completed a purchase.”
There are other privacy and security measures in Privacy-Preserving Attribution, and Mozilla’s support page and Andrew Moore’s blog post explain it in more detail. PPA seems like a decent idea to track the effectiveness of ads without compromising user privacy in any meaningful way.

Now that you know better, please stop spreading bullshit.
It’s important to note that a VPN is simply somebody else’s network in another location.
