Yeah, that’s pretty annoying.

Feeling attacked with Leggable and Fleable. I’ve been known to write a concern or two in Ruby on Rails but what can I say? I like my code DRY.

The only Windows people I know are the Java developers at my workplace and it shows. Containerization and Linux/UNIX conventions are definitely not followed and everything’s a clusterfuck with those guys.

Well I MITM myself quite often to confirm it. I’m also smashing together hundreds of blocklists, and I always check the network tab of my browser’s developer tools and very rarely see anything coming from third-party domains.

Sure, sometimes assets are on the actual domain I’m visiting (or its CDN) but most of the time, even tracking scripts there are broken because they still call the blocked scripts.

By the way, it’s hilarious that everyone wants to fight so hard about this yet when someone says “use an adblocker” nobody says anything as if it’s the end-all solution.

I didn’t say “I have a bulletproof, surefire way to fix this.” I said “use network-based blocking.” However effective that is is up to the person implementing it; you have no idea how effective my setup is because you don’t have access to its configuration.

When does that become relevant? I mainly develop web applications so I’ve never directly worked with WebGL.

They’re not hard to circumvent, sure but then why am I so effectively blocking almost everything not tied to the “real” first-party domains?

Proxy? Is it that hard to figure out how to bundle and serve assets from the same domain? 😂

I’m a broken record: block Google (or whomever) with network-based blocking (IP and/or DNS), these guys have third-party tracking in virtually every website and app.

This is the correct answer. Facebook has third-party scripts all over the internet. I wish people would understand this — just because you’re not a Facebook user doesn’t mean Facebook (or anyone else) doesn’t track you.

I’m not sure about Facebook but tons of trackers are in apps too so the typical “use an adblocker” grumble isn’t even accurate either.

they’re perennially jealous of the shit Apple can get away with.

😒

I’m a web developer but I absolutely love Safari. I seriously don’t understand the hate. From an end-user perspective it’s sooo much less clunky too.

I mean, it’s still good to know if you’re vulnerable right (for sake of discussion)?

I already VPN 99% of my traffic offshore. Do you think the threat to VPNs is eminent? I’ve been thinking about shadowsocks a lot but I’m not sure.

I’m a Ruby on Rails developer and it’s been a decade or two since I’ve used PHP, but why does it want so much memory? We host Drupal-based apps in Kubernetes at work and they need nowhere near that much memory.

I would probably investigate what library or piece of code is requesting so much.
