I want to boost your comment with my "moderator points", but my script blocker only allows the obvious/. domains (slashdot,org, and slashdotmedia.com), so the script running the moderator system coincidentally doesn't work here.
I suppose while I'm here, I should inject my newbie/. request to learn what domain(s) I should unblock for scripting purposes here, so plz feel free to enlighten me on this front.
I also suppose, along my starting sentences with "I" run, that probably everyone reading/. knows about script blocking, but security issues among the mainstream public are seriously problematic (at least in terms of potential attack vectors). It's not a knock against your valid point, but just a reasonably relevant informational nook where people can feel free to discuss it fwiw.

I get that feeling too; the way I explained it, Erdogan has proved himself a compulsive, comprehensive liar. So when he says "Pennsylvania Cleric did it!" you can be assured he did not. When he says "This coup was attempted by traitors!" you can be assured that the actions were carried out by loyal soldiers...
I've got Kodi+Genesis on a Fire Stick, but that has (wireless) bandwidth problems. I've been told a (wired) Fire TV is better. I've also been told the update to Genesis, Exodus, is miles ahead.
But I'm still a fan of a dedicated PC with a decent ($50-$150) graphics card, a long HDMI cable (monoprice!), and a wireless keyboard/mouse.
Except that a gun designed to look like a cellphone would presumably have the barrel aligned with the long axis of the phone. You're not going to shoot yourself taking a selfie.
3) Fuck Facebook in the eye with a broken bottle, but don't they just serve up content to French people? What is their liability here?
Someone's going to bring up the privacy implications, but can we for one second take some responsibility for ourselves?
This little Frenchman is upset because Facebook isn't letting him host content on their servers. What is his expected remedy here? If YOU owned a site and BOFH'd it and ruled with an iron fist, would you accept some pissant crying to city fucking hall about it?
Fuck Facebook, but fuck this whole situation and everyone involved, too. My server. Fuck off. When you cut me a check to host your hairy pussy festival, then you can sue me.
US users value at between $13.62 and $37.98 annually, each. Even at 100 to 1, you'd be at.12*20 = $2.4M a year, and 100 to 1 is probably very low in a G8 country like Fronce.
Well, it's meant to disarm kneejerk accusations, demonstrating that I actually do understand the privacy concerns. Clearly, it didn't work.
there is absolutely NO reason.... The reason they don't...
Um? Please slow down; you're speaking faster than you can handle.
So my grandmother is at fault for "getting raped" because she didn't have the technical chops to defend herself?
Yes, she is absolutely at fault. People seem to want individual benefits without individual responsibility. I do not discount that there are bad-faith actors on the internet who should absolutely not be trusted; I am only saying that grandmother should not expect that the domains she visits have her best interests at heart. IT professionals know (should know) this, and it is our fault that grandmother does not.
All of these but NoScript operate on a blacklist basis
No, uMatrix blocks all 3rd party elements by default. By allowing certain 3rd party domains to serve content, you can find the minimum number of domains and content thereof to serve the page to your satisfaction.
Going to a site gives it implied permission to collect some data about your visit, but that doesn't extend to 3rd party sites like Facebook.
I cannot agree. I understand the problems this causes, but loading HTML doesn't come with the assumption that you're only going to get content from Dale's Dildoes Dot Com.
The web is not as friendly as it used to be, and Google, primarily, is in a position to abuse this fact by acting as if 3rd party content is not a problem. It is a problem (citation: TFA), but problem is that sites are not trustworthy: they have abused 3rd party content, and lost the public trust.
First let me say that I block everything that I can, to the point of ignoring a lot of content on the net.
Because you didn't ask the user.
That's...not how HTML works. The user asked for the data, and they're gonna get it, hard.
The issue is trust. No one should trust anyone else. In the Ad space, that's why they need 3rd-Party Everything in the first place.
Trust that you are going to get conned in public spaces. The conversation about Trust gets ignored by companies in a position to profit from your trust.
tl/dr: it is absolutely your fault for getting raped.
I haven't updated to 44 yet, but 43, uMatrix ("nothing 3rd party"), NoScript ("nothing, at all") is as fine-grained as you can ask for. Oh, I suppose I also have hosts & fw blacklists, too. The only way they keep track of me is browser-uniqueness, and I'm fine with that, under the way the current Infotainment Industrial Complex functions.

We're IN the Hollow Earth, man.
Even if Trump loses, that doesn't mean the large political bloc that supported him will just magically vanish.
Of course not: it will take a large, unwieldy bureaucracy to ship them all to the FEMA camps. Duh.
You are wrong.
No, I'm not =-)
It has inspired violence by creating a perception that police thinks and acts otherwise. That perception is ubiquitous.
I think all those dead guys is what created the perception, buddy.

"Ephemeral" is not really one of the qualities associated with desirable enterprise partnerships...

I like the idea that you'd have to be wearing a conspicuous uniform if you're carrying. Maybe a snazzy beret, too.
Except that a gun designed to look like a cellphone would presumably have the barrel aligned with the long axis of the phone. You're not going to shoot yourself taking a selfie.
You're holding it wrong.
Does that include...
...? I only ask because you only mentioned Google+Doubleclick.
Repeating it again and again doesn't make it true.
Unfortunately, this is not accurate.
Oh neat, thanks!

uMatrix exists on Chrome and is arguably superior
No, it is inarguably not the same thing. uMatrix does nothing for first-party scripts. (I use both in Firefox!)
Let me speak slowly, then: HTML allows content to be pulled in from different domains.
So what?
Well, it's meant to disarm kneejerk accusations, demonstrating that I actually do understand the privacy concerns. Clearly, it didn't work.
there is absolutely NO reason .... The reason they don't...

Facebook is acting in bad faith, and probably breaking French Privacy Laws, but the Privacy Laws don't change how HTML works.
