1. XKCD comic of two stick figures talking to each other. On the left, a stick figure has a ponytail, and a plain stick figure on the right. Ponytail: "Trans shitposting is second nature to us fedi users, so it's easy to forget that the average person probably only knows 3 or 4 otherkin and one or two lesbians. Plain guy: And a robot, of course. Ponytail: Of course. Caption: Even when they're trying to compensate for it, experts in anything wildly overestimate the average person's familiarity with their field.

@dalias @foone I think in vanilla Firefox the only way is to entirely disable hardware acceleration. I forget which fork it was since I was experimenting with a bunch of different privacy-centric forks, unfortunately :/

@foone there's a privacy setting I used to enable which cpu-renders canvas elements to prevent fingerprinting. it hurt my performance really hard, as well as being the primary thing that started tripping captchas for me. so could be related to hardware acceleration / privacy settings.

since this is getting some attention, here's the bottom of Spotify's cookie banner, showing some of their "essential" cookies.

seriously can websites stop trying to claim "we respect your privacy"
if your website does any of the following, you do not respect my privacy:
1. have a cookie banner
2. require more than one click to reject all non-essential cookies
3. call personalized advertising a "feature"
4. call telemetry "help improve our site"
5. have a "do not sell my personal information" link anywhere
6. require the person to live in california to use that link
