If you’re building new microslop installations in 2026 you deserve everything you get.

jsyk your posts here just hurt the point you’re trying to make.

I strongly recommend you delete and revisit these thoughts and restructure them so you’re not being told “sir this is a wendies”.

I swear the k8s brainrot has escaped containment

Yeah we used to do things like messing with your history, messing with local storage, messing with your browser cache, messing around with flash and other exploitable plugins.

I can make you download a specific favicon and ID you that way.

Also, most peoples browsers are actually quite unique in terms of fingerprint. My browser, for example, is unique among the 4.8M fingerprints in their database.

Its not about permissions, its about giving you the occular patdown and making observations.

I don’t need to know who you are, but that you’re unique and heres how I tell you are you.

I can later relate that back to PII if I’m clever.

I hated working in the marketing/tracking space.

What the hell is your problem lol

In the bad old days where I was forced to make spyware in exchange for a white collar paycheque, we used to make things called “supercookies” that used basically any fingerprint, storage, glitches of a browser to store a token or otherwise identify you with or without identity

We had something like 98% confidence even if you had no cookies, based on just using JS to eyeball your browser and probing it.

Not saying its a “supercookie” but the internet is funny like that. The current bleeding edge of it seems to be abusing favicon caches

I did, I’ve deleted my habitual bookmark and put lemmy in the same place on the bar.

But the volume of discourse isn’t quite here yet.

But I do like not being banned (twice, the second time an experiment to determine if it was automated, it was) for suggesting Peter Thiel should be turned into soup.

To the point that I’m gonna get it printed on a T-shirt.

I’m trying to ween myself off reddit.

chemical soup.

some actual recourse when you get banned?

I’m banned from reddit from suggesting that Peter Thiels assets should be liquidated, the man turned to soup.

The most banal of opinions is now automatically being banned.

Uhhuh so they’re tooling up to make devices for a company that wont exist soon for datacenters that have no power.

All that shit is going in the landfill and they will be desperately repackaging HBM into consumer products. Bet.

The whole thing is speculation because its based off the back of letters of intent, no real contracts for anything. Its all still, currently, smoke and mirrors until something is inked and someone gets paid (or atleast, finance agreed)

So right now, we’re watching bullshit speculators sink the market. And/or restricted supply being used to milk us like cows.

They wont let them leave because it’d be falling into “the competitions” hands.

They’ll shred every single last bit of silicon.

25% of the datacenters being constructed right now will go bankrupt.

The majority of this AI surge is for datacenters that neither have power nor water.

Its all gonna end up being shredded, if it exists at all.

All of those GPUs will be irrelevent in 24 months, and almost all of them are useless to consumers.

Its by design, its intentional.

They want you hooked to their cloud teat.

Its by design, I swear. They don’t have anywhere to run any of this gear, its all piling up somewhere.

Either that or it doesn’t exist and what we’re seeing is price gouging based on hypothetical demand based off of “letters of intent” that aren’t actually worth the paper they’re written on.

I think its the latter.

Mmhmm, its also not early round funding so… where are they gonna get 3bn to pay back their investors? Or even break even at 1bn?

Its a usability and information discoverability is a nightmare and its continuously probing my system in ways that I don’t want it to.

The usability is complete and total ass unless you’ve grown up knowing no better.

Edit: Also, its full of toxic ass communities with stupid little kingdoms they’ve set up.

The main issue is you’ll never get the cretins that use it off it. Communities… they’re just sitting there burning the library of alexandria… all the esoteric knowledge they’re “putting on discord” is just gonna vanish.

over a billion in vc funding and discord is as shit as it is.
