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.

Stop spreading fucking lies.

It isn’t tracking, ffs. It is anti tracking if anything, designed to help advertisers get what they want without getting ahold of any of your data.

Stop spreading bullshit!

Mister Rod!

Grasping at strings.

Everyone knows vegetarians don’t have friends, therefore, they wouldn’t get invited to the barbecue in the first place. It’s a problem that solves itself.

It’s trash that has had a lot of hard work put into it by dedicated developers. Unfortunately, it’s still bad.

It is trash. Anyone who doesn’t understand why does not do graphic design professionally.

You seemed to not understand what they were saying, which was that Meloni is sitting there with deep seated rage and jealousy. She has repressed her feelings her entire life. She has even persecuted others for not repressing themselves. But here, at the Olympics, in front of everyone, here are 2 people just being themselves, as she longs to be. Seeing this brings up deep seated rage and jealousy.

So what people are noticing is that that expression is not disgust. That expression is jealousy and rage. I would go so far as to say that to me it looks like she is crying on the inside.

That is certainly one of the sentences ever written.

Gimp is fucking trash

The point of the comment above yours went waaaaay over your head. Read it again.

Aside from that, you are correct, some people are just awful, but they didn’t start out that way from the jump, usually.

Here in the states, GRK is a little more expensive than Spax (very slightly tbf). Their tips are really good, but imo nothing compares to the serrated tips that Spax has. It makes things so simple.

The shorter Spax screws also accommodate a Robertson tip really well also.

That said, GRK, if that is the best you can get, is going to treat you well. I might not like them as much, but they are a quality product.

Generally with torx screws, you don’t need much leverage. I suggest buying better screws.

For example, Spax torx screws have little razor blades on the tips so that when you are driving, they function as a drill as well. This means that you don’t really have to apply force to them from the back.

Another thing you can do is use a hammer drill. A hammer drill will make short work of any of that.

Another option is to use a right angle adapter.

Additionally, the torx bit should fit in the screw head to the point that it kind of suctions in place like a Lego. Spax, as an example, includes bits in every screw box, and they are probably the best bits you can get.

Another brand (I don’t like them as well but whatever) is GTK.

Install it then upgrade it. I’ll wait. Then tell me more about how it’s an excellent and stable win11 replacement. Personally still on 10. If I were to move to nix I’d probably move to zorin. I’m a sucker for pretty UI and OS that just work.

I fix shit all day at my job, I don’t want to come home and have to fix more shit (I’m looking directly at you, freebsd).

That’s actually a good point that I forgot about, it’s tablet layout is/was dogshit.

More or less platform agnostic. No “algorithm”, which is… Honestly, Wonderful.

What the fuck are you on about? I don’t follow Rossman, I don’t even like him. I do like his product though. Dude has some weird ass libertarian leanings that are “eyebrow raising”, if I’m being generous.

The fucking OSI does not get to define open source however it wants. Open source means the the source is open to the public. FULL FUCKING STOP. The OSI co-opted the term open source, and people like you fell in line. What is it with people like you and purity testing software? That’s fucking weird.

I’m fucking sick of turbonerds with toxic opinions and zero coding skills telling developers what they need to do with their own code. The fact that they can’t code is more or less irrelevant, but it highlights how much more bullshit their stance is. If you want to control a license then write some fucking code and you can license it however the hell you like.

We do agree in one key area though, “influencer” is a cult, or something very close to it. This whole parasocial relationship bullshit is actively harming society at large. You can thank YouTube for fucking these things up btw. Other services have followed, but it’s YouTube’s (Google’s) insatiable lust for power and monopoly that have crippled society and possibly irreversibly damaged it.

Because it doesn’t hold a candle to Grayjay.

I have read the license. I read it when it first came out. Open source is open source. You don’t get to move the goal posts like the OSI has. You wanted the source to be available so that you could have a look at it and make sure nothing nefarious was going on or at least be able to tell what it does. You can, therefore be happy, and be quiet.

All of the stuff that I develop is the type of open source that you like, that said, you don’t need to try to browbeat developers into licensing terms that they don’t like. If they want to keep their source proprietary then that is fine as long as they make it available for others to have a look at.

Stop purity testing this crap. You do the entire movement a disservice by being a pedantic butthole. Furthermore you make people like me not want to make the source available to people like you. You damage the entire image, and you don’t even realize it.

The license isn’t the problem. You are.
