What a weird set of events. It’s not even clear what was actually used as infection method.

Depends on why you want to hide your server ip, what’s your use case? Is it to protect against DDOS?

Cloudflare is evil, but is there any other party you would trust to share everything with?

That’s not true. The way their streaming works is basically a Playlist of shorter fragments. They can easily insert their own fragments without obvious visual tells if they don’t alter other elements of the page to indicate that an ad is playing.

Don’t worry, it’s fine, there’s nothing inherently wrong with running stateful workload in a container.

You should really back that up with arguments as I don’t think a lot of people would agree with you.

Welp, this is the most left field KilledByGoogle entry yet.

I highly recommend reading the Github thread as this is not at all an accurate representation. These features you’re talking about are off by default. Removing them from the existing package is just breaking existing users. There’s already a report from a user who can’t access their passwords because yubikey support was suddenly removed. You don’t do that to users just because you suddenly develop an opinion as a package maintainer that you feel is important. There was no dialogue, no consideration and a very rude, dismissive attitude of Julian.

Alternatively, “I am your father, you piece of shit.”

Surely actual IT pros use uBlock origin?

Maybe they should pretend it’s right next to the WMDs. I’m sure they’ll find it then.

All this really demonstrates is the dangers of drawing conclusions when you don’t really have the skills to properly assess the information presented to you.

Fuck me, ten years already?

As much as people like to delve into conspiratorial gossiping, making swooping statements about how Google and Amazon work together, there’s often much simpler and more reasonable explanations.

For one, you are one of billions of people browsing both these sites today, it’s bound to happen to some of you.

But what prompted you to look up the horses stuff? Sometimes it’s an article, a social media post (reddit and Lemmy count), a radio segment, etc. That often leads a group of people to look up the same stuff en-masse.

Its also possible that you’ve visited other sites about horses that have put you in that cohort, where manufacturers have placed their own tracking pixels whose info they can supply to Amazon for targeting.

The reason why a Google / Amazon collaboration seems so unlikely is that they are competing. Not just at large, but in this specific case. Those recommendations you see on Amazon are ads too. People pay for them, and use specific targeting rules to find people to click on them. This is what both Amazon and Google sell, access to specific eyeballs (eg. males in their late 30’s who have once shown interest in motorsports). This is their secret sauce. They’d be crazy to allow that information to flow to a competitor with their own ad platform.

I know this goes against the grain here, so feel free to downvote, but keep in mind that conjecture and wildly inaccurate gossip about what these giant companies do often muddies the waters and makes it much harder to attack them on the shady and downright evil stuff that they do do.

Just wait until they fire you for not returning to office

Oh no! Anyway…

Oh don’t forget illegal spyware and surveillance software.

Already?!

Hello neighbor! I’ve had them prescribed, but when asked if it was really necessary or if I could give it a bit longer to see if my body could deal with it on its own, my doctor got a big smile and told me he could. Then he said that the dominant demographic in my area is very persistent and pushy in demanding antibiotics for the slightest thing so he’s gotten a bit too used to prescribing them.

That’s not what using proprietary code means in this case.

Besides, it’s possible they “legitimately” bought a copy of the game from a store that accidentally broke the embargo date. You can’t legally blame customers for that.

Used to be Sketchup, not sure if that’s still around for free. Used for a lot of architectural stuff and somewhat beginner friendly.

Me personally I’d use Blender, but that seemingly requires you to learn how to model donuts with sprinkles first…
