It depends on the exact kind of ad, kind of tracking it uses, and kind of blocking method you’re using.

Are you ever 100% untracked?

No.

But this is a data game, the less you give up, the less they have, the less accurate it is, the more stale it is, the less specific things about you can be gleaned from it.

ublock origin + canvas blocker + privacy badger + forcing DOH by default?

Thats a lot better than doing nothing.

Much of the existing stuff doesn’t even load, meaning it can’t even attempt to assign to you a unique advertiserID, it doesn’t even get to the stage of trying to send you a specific ad, because you have no engagement with the system.

Precisely, shit trickles downward, that’s how the economy/society works!

EDIT: Swear to god I didn’t even read your username before saying that.

So, goddamnit poopsmith, you as well should know this!

That’s your job lol!

Wow!

Another reason to block ads by literally any means possible!

Does anyone actually know what the fuck we are doing here?

Obviously not, no.

You’re a sysadmin… you should know this.

You’re the person who has to actually think through the results of other people’s decisions.

That’s your job, lol.

Other people get paid to make decisions, not think about them.

Problem:

This is the exact same kind of shit being used to automate prioritize and execute military kill-chains.

Basically: Finda target, tell others about the target, assess nearby firepower capable of neutralizing the target, determine best course of action.

… all we have to do is cross that last step over into ‘and then execute that course of action’.

All the drone warfare in Ukraine?

EM jamming and literally hacking the things or their CnC systems is an effective counter, in certain situations.

So, how do you counter that?

One solution is keep an actual thin wire, like a TOW missile, connecting the operator and the drone. Gotta be a real long wire though.

Other solution?

Make the drone fully autonomous once its been locked in to a specific plan.

Don’t worry though, I’m sure Pete Hegseth will navigate this tightrope about as well as traffic stop line walk test.

No, you’re not missing anything.

They’re morons.

Thats our ruling elite; a bunch of fucking morons with egos and low self awareness at best, literally child raping and murdering pedophiles at worst.

This is basically happening already with AI assisted surgeries.

I’ve got a suggestion for her:

Burn all your money and ids and property, become homeless.

That will humble you.
