nah, it’s a dumb policy which will be impossible to maintain in the years to come.

Damn. That’s seriously not good and scary. Put this in the hands of State actors during war and our whole infrastructure we trust on will be gone within 72 hours. Time to start prepping for the offline world.

Many people started taking measures against fingerprinting. Fauxx is a new android app that could cause just this sudden jump (if it had a major users base). But plenty of older browser extensions exist. People are fighting back to regain privacy. I suspect that’s what we’re seeing here.

Edit: AI tools and agents make more sense tbh 🫣😔

Sorry, I thought the /privacy folks knew what they were talking about. Luckily I started with ‘apparently’ and didn’t double down. Thanks for having me confirm your suspicions ;)

I got that as a reply a few weeks ago. I didn’t research it further but when true, that’s just hacking a network - and it should be illegal. If true.

Apparently, TVs don’t give a shit. They have mesh networks that’ll search and connect with other TVs, until a TV with internet has been found. That TV can belong to anyone.

I just learned about internetless TVs that build mesh networks until one TV is found that can access the internet… that sounds like infiltrating a WiFi network and should be illegal.

Edit: it’s not true, I learned today after being downvoted into oblivion 😭
