Stock market isn't an infinite money glitch, you have to be rich to start out with or you won't see any meaningful return to your money until you're 70
It's possible that some of the benefits are real, but it's probably because the lack of hot showers. If you used room temperature water instead of hot it's supposedly better for your skin, but I never do it because I like a hot comfy shower
There's a couple contenders but they're not very good. I think most FOSS people don't WANT a facebook alternative; they'd prefer to keep their IRL identity separate from the internet. And the people who don't care also don't care enough to want to go federated.
There's spacehey as a myspace alternative though. That's pretty neat but it's full of teenagers unfortunately.
Yeah and in my area we get stories in the news about cyclists harassing people or getting into fights on the bike trails and they usually end up being some rich MAGA dude when they get arrested
Bluesky has a lot more normies on it while mastodon is mostly early-adopter types. Mastodon, in my experience, is either very technical people (software engineers and other tech people) or very political people. Bluesky has normal people on it
I checked out threads for a day and I liked it because the algorithm wasn't jamming a bunch of outrage content down my throat but that's the only thing I can say about it. Haven't used it since then (deleted my entire meta account)
Can you imagine explaining to someone in 1999 that a significant amount of politics in 2025 would surround what websites we decide to spend 12 hours a day on
Fingerprinting unfortunately uses more than useragent strings. It takes hashes of data in your browser from a javascript context that is not easily masked or removed. For example, it might render a gradient of colors projected onto a curved 3d plane. The specific result of this will create a unique hash for your GPU. They can also approximate your geolocation by abusing the time-to-live information within a TCP packet, which is something you can't control on the clientside at all. If you TRULY want to avoid tracking by google, you need to block google domains in your hosts file and maybe consider disabling javascript on all sites by default until you trust them. Also don't use google.
