You just load the Javascript for the CAPTCHA all from the same Cloudflare domain, and it gets a third-party cookie that identifies you everywhere.
What they actually did was implement a standard and a browser extension that improves on the security of third-party cookies, and are effectively encouraging them to be completely disabled within Tor.
This is a technology site. Regardless of any UK slang most Slashdotters have never heard of, a nonce is a very standard word in the world of security/cryptography.
I posted the same at first, but it looks like they avoided the low-hanging fruit. They could have just used cookies - which tor browsers accept just the same as any web page. They're actually proposing a more anonymous standard, and trying to close the cookie security hole.
In other words, they could have just used a cookie. But instead, they're making their own cookie system because they don't think Tor should even have cookies. This is good.
I just hope they contribute it to the Tor standard and release the plugin unbranded rather than just as a "Cloudflare enabler."
This is nothing that can't be done with any old cookie. In fact, it probably uses them. If anything, this highlights some inherent problems with using Tor without being careful.
That's beside the point of my argument. Linux on Windows is more stable than Windows on Linux, because there's no GUI component involved in the translation layer.
downloading the content and UI each time the user tries to use it.
Have you ever heard of 304 Not Modified?
It would take a lot of usage to trump the 80MB+ download size of the FB app - and that's without Messenger. And then add in the updates to the app regularly that also must be downloaded. I don't think the mobile web site has auto-play of videos set, but the app does if you don't change the default.
functionally requires many of the things you critisize it for
Most people don't use messenger to communicate with contacts that aren't also FB "friends." So most people don't really need to give it access to contacts.
on Android Marshmallow, it should be possible to revoke a lot of the unneeded permissions - but not having done it, I don't know how well it works. And on first use, you have to manually approve these permissions.
Thus, win32/win64 on NT is no more or less "native" than Wine.
That would be an important point if everything actually ran on WINE. There are a LOT of useful Linux utilities than run just fine from a CLI, but very few for Windows. GUI incompatibility is the big one for WINE, and there are plenty of stable X servers available for Windows and a well-documented protocol.
To power the "safe search" option on a search engine. Self-censorship does not really count as censorship. And if I need to search for questionable words at work, I'd prefer not to have NSFW results.
I would bet that most abductions by relatives are custody-related. I'm not sure there's a reliable source on numbers for something so specific either way.
why on fucking earth do I need a photo of some place that has just suffered a disaster? or many more characters?
Photos would be for suspect/victim. More characters would be to include more languages. And I'm sure they wouldn't do anything as smart as matching the language of the alert to the language set on the phone and hiding the others.
Neither are bad ideas, but unlikely to be worth it if there was ever an emergency big enough that cell networks are slammed. The real problem are what they are choosing to count as an "emergency." I mean sure, Japan bombs Pearl Harbor or planes crash into building - every phone should maybe light up. Most of the rest, probably should be categorized and allowed to be silenced or de-prioritized (or allowed to follow your phone's alert settings, like vibrate-only).
Computer forensics people would never modify the data, why would the server admin think it made sense? In fact, why is she worried about her personal email address getting out when these are classified emails already?
There is no need for the perp to know that the child is under age only that they intended to have sex.
I don't think that's true. In a lot of sting operations (e.g. TCAP/Chris Hansen), they use an of-age actress pretending to be underage (or even just men pretending to be an underage female in chat) - and that counts for prosecution. It's about intent - though being intentionally unaware of age probably counts as implicit awareness.
If you did something and are not punished for it, that's injustice. The word just means a lack of fairness - and that's exactly what you'd have if only some people punished with equal guilt.

I mean, it's a cesspool and I don't care for it, but it's literally an image board and you want to make it more about text.

Because this isn't an emulation layer - just a different kernel. It's native binaries and no virtualization. You just can't do the reverse on Linux.
You've already proven to FB that your phone can run the full app. They have no incentive to let the lite version work. Probably intentionally blocked.
Okay, FINE, we'll remove the Lightning connector, wiseass!
If they really wanted to be courageous, they should have just moved to wireless charging only and Bluetooth is still just fine for audio.
if you ask for a generic epinephrine auto-injector rather asking for Epipen by brand-name
This is really the doctor's decision and also their fault when they don't prescribe the generic name when they should know better.

Most kiddie touchers are relatives
I'm not sure that still holds statistically when there's an abduction involved.
Someone has to push the alerts to the cell network in the first place. And there are one or more government contractors involved in that...
Not if it's off the coast and creates a tsunami.

Injustice is the absense of justice. Look in a dictionary before you keep making useless arguments.

For someone who asks on Reddit? Probably export to SQL, then open in Word.
