can we get a cancer thread going?
i often want to show someone a picture of tech cancer but dont have one on hand. this thread will help save you from this problem
You don't need to look far to get pictures of tech cancer. Chances are you're living in it.
Visit the website of nearly any linux distro and check the screenshots page. Alternatively searx "windows desktop". Then screencap searx itself.
Screencap any website serving html over http, or just html, or anyone filesharing over http.
Screencap the captcha on the reply boxes of this website, screencap your command line, screen cap my post.
Shoot a picture of the ports on the back of your computer, of your computer's case, of your screwless drive bay and of whatever mouse you have plugged in. Find a mirror and take a picture of your camera also.
*Disclaimer: this list is heavily incomplete.
The most cancerous thing RN is javascript on all static pages that dont need it. I dont even mean clickbait websites that "need" a cryptominer + 15 ads on their sites. I mean just sites that provide static information not for monetary gain, yet require all the silly scripts.
>>9196 >>9197 >it's all relative mannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn
>>9203 this
>>9201 based. i forgot about terminals and IRL crap like this. should get some pics of ATMs in my city
>>9226 EU really did fucked up with the cookie thing. What they should have done is they should have banned cross-domain tracking cookies altogether. Instead what we got is a useless dialog window on literally every page that everybody just clicks 'i agree' without even thinking about it and nothing of value was achieved. What a bunch of faggots, i really wonder what were they thinking
>>9248 I've started seeing websites with two buttons, "accept" and "deny". I wonder how many of their users are clicking accept... This was the intention of the EU I think, not to ban cookies, but to give people choices about them. Still, it's completely pointless, since users never want to be tracked, and websites (with notable exceptions) all want to track users. If they cared about the users, they'd ban the relevant cookies completely.
Then I hear about one of the politicians in my (non EU) country talk about adding tracking to the train system and selling it to advertisers. So whatever you say about the EU politicians, at least they were thinking.
>>9252 > users never want to be tracked
Yeah i wish. The overton window is moving and it is doing so in the wrong direction - most people just dont give a fuck anymore and some even appreciate the more 'relevant' ads. Its gonna get worse. Way worse probably.
>>9258 They shoulda put Nanochan in charge of their internet policy!
Imagine what that woulda turned inta? Woulda been awesome!
There is a "cookies" list that can be turned on in uBlock Origin, that will block that sort of "Do you Agree?" shit.
There is also an "I don't care about cookies" or something list (the list is for adblockers) & plugin (as mentioned in Digdeeper's blog), but I think the one in uBO is probably better. Though you can add that list to uBO, there is not much point and it's quality is disputed by the uBO devs compared to the built-in one.
This is yet another reason why uMatrix + uBO is better.
>>9253 Insane, right?
People are all up in a tizzy about dumb ass corporations (that have alternatives) censoring them, but don't give a shit about privacy, security or anonymity.
By the way, suggestion:
Can we define "Nanonimity" as "Privacy + Security + Anonymity"?
It would be more "nano" than saying or typing all three of those words.
>>9248 >EU really did fucked up with the cookie thing. What they should have done is they should have banned cross-domain tracking cookies altogether. Instead what we got is a useless dialog window on literally every page that everybody just clicks 'i agree' without even thinking about it and nothing of value was achieved.

the reason why EU made this cookie thing wasn't to protect privacy
it was made for:
-testing if websites will comply with their nigger orders, if not, punish them, have only cucked websites that follow laws and jews
-forcing people into using javascript to be able to close cookie windows
-making people not delete cookies to not have to close cookie window every time
so in fact, objective was the opposite of privacy. this regulation was lobbied and bribed by the web jews
>>9248 > EU really did fucked up with the cookie thing. What they should have done is they should have banned cross-domain tracking cookies altogether.
what they should have done is nothing
fuck your stupid webshit
it isn't worthy of laws
>>9230 lurk moar newfag
>>9269 What can we choose to do about it? Make a law for people to not be retards? Literally all the pictures ITT are examples of how your dumbfuck legislation resulted. Even if all the privacy shit (and even standardization shit) was fixed, the web would still be unusable cancer.
People who want privacy legislation don't actually understand the problems in the slightest. It's like people who boycot Walmart for a day because a newspaper said one of their suppliers is evil..
And here friends, is what it looks like when you click on 10 links. This is the #1 main purpose of the concept of hypertext. Any real, non-clickbait, website, containing actual content, should be linking to multiple pages across multiple websites (as opposed to 10 links to Wikipedia) as citations/references.
When you follow these links, you should get either a web page, or an error, and the error should be the same for every single page, so you can actually tell its an error without thinking.
In reality, you instead get (((custom))) error codes, (((different types of error codes))) which 99% of the time are just the developer not understanding what the error code is for so they aren't helpful anyway, (((custom))) errors, hijacked domains, domain parking pages, popups, and you have to read the pages one by one to figure out which ones actually worked (after closing the 3 or so popups that come up at completely random unpredictable times).
security LARP
literally a list of onion domains would be more secure and useful than this autistic bullshit. i dont know a single one of these websites, so it doesn't matter if i have the real cert. since the webpage ITT is the one that INTRODUCED me to these pages, it may as well just give me the key. i couldn't give less fucks about what the domain name is
>>9459 maps dont need JS. why would you use a web map "app" like google instead of real software? sounds fucking terrible and slow. they probably fucked it up so bad you could just have a server that sends a map with N/W/E/S/NW/NE/SE/SW buttons and it would be 10x better
also LMFAOOOOOOOOOO at sending every single place you're interested in and where you plan to go to GOOGLE.
BEHOLD, _THE_ ULTIMATE WEB CANCER, BY THE CREATOR OF MANY FORMS OF *CANCER* HIMSELF, JEFF ATW00D
this is what happens when you go to stackoverflow.com and type anything in the search bar
and here is some neo-classical web cancer. the download button that looks like an ad but isn't.
the only reason it looks like an ad is because a previous wave of web cancer caused us to assume any download button that looks like this is an ad
>>9502 Stack overflow is one of these things that id have expected to work perfectly without js. It really seems they genuinely did this to protect themselves from attacks, unfortunately they went with the most convenient method for them and the least convenient one for the user. Anybody who uses jewgles captcha is a massive faggot and shouldnt be in the business of running websites
>>9504 I wonder if they were aware of this but went with it anyways or are just this inexperienced. Hopefully whoever made the actual software is a different bunch of people from whoever made the site.
>>9501 Googles maps are actually fucking great. Theres no denying that they must have completely throw any kind of ethics or respect for their users's privacy into the toilet for them to be able to create that but fuck me if it isnt one their greatest achievements if not the one. Its a shame i cant use it for obvious reasons
>>9510 >implying man page is anything more than a few sentences about flags
>implying any shell developer even knows what buttons his program supports or what escape sequences do what
>>9511 it's not default font, i just disabled letting websites choose fonts and spent 3 seconds changing it to one that looks good (on a high end last generation CRT)
meanwhile, your actual gay "le typesetting" subpixel shit looks bad even on most LCDs
this fucking homo shit right here on cock.li
how the fuck can a website be siezed?
>because people are still too retarded to use content based addressing
why would you consider a website important enough to need to be seized
>because you're a melodramatic faggot who feels the need to """punish""" a website for allowing user #52735827385235 to post something "bad"
why
why would anyone use cock.li?
>because it's the only non-cancer website that provides the ability to receive and send emails
why does email have to be "hosted" by some specific website, and why does your email address have to be a "human readable" pseudo-defined set of characters followed by a "domain name"?
>because UNIX braindamage supreme combined with web shotting
anyone who supports this shit is a filthy cocksucking, consumer whore.
how the fuck is it possible to be such as massive faggot that you consider it a basic part of life to have an email address with all the above traits, "verified" by phone, and you consider any website without phone verification "rogue", and you consider email as a safe alternate password for websites (now replaced by phone which is even worse), and consider email verification for websites as some kind of magic anti-abuse measure? how much cock do you have to have in your mouth? you even think its okay for websites to scan your inbox and decide what is and isnt spam (instead of the obvious solution that nobody has even tried to implement because they have 3 cocks in their holes: having a different unguessable public key for each person you talk to). you even think its okay for the website to drop password as the way to login but have a secret list of crap that the user can use once he loses his password, you even think its okay for the website to track you every second on top of that "to verify it's you". you like your bank to track every single action you make to it as well. what the fuck. these people should be eugenecided.
>>9562 Yeah!!
There are cockli (and protonmail) alternatives that don't use any JS though.
Still though, is there not an better way to do things?
Maybe some notes should be taken from plan9?
The whole "use your phone" thing is indeed stupid.
Anyone with sense would get a "freetext" account and if that didn't work cash-buy a flip phone from their local mart.
>>9611 Well no the same thing would have happened even if the hostnames did resolve, but I agree, DNS is also cancer. I searched DNS to see if I could get an easy picture of some DNS cancer but the first result was this:
https://www.cloudflare.com/learning/dns/what-is-dns/ LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
these retards think this is so simple even after giving the most complex introduction to such a low-powered concept
lmaoooo at pajeet reading this page and not learning the only useful things about DNS being how to do an A request and how to setup /etc/resolv.conf
>2000
>tell UNIXniggers terminals are unsafe to use
>2010
>they still dont understand it
>they get mad and are unable to follow the discussion long enough to make it to a PoC, and return to denying the problem existsx
>2020
>they still dont understand it, but make some retarded patch to fix one out of a million cases, at best getting in the user's way and at worst getting more idiots to believe the terminal is secure
>>9616 That's only cancerous if you installed thru a package manager and it's it's trying to get you to direct download.
Otherwise, keeping up to date is important for security.
>>9624 no no, updates gives you more privacy!11
i actually posted it to make fun of the WM's retarded interaction. the message box constantly flickers between the middle of the screen and the top right. gimp does this with tiling WMs as well
>>9626 >Security, didn't say no no, updates gives you more privacy!11.
If a new vuln is discovered and patched, you don't want to be using the non-patched version.
Didn't they catch somebody doing something illegal (pirating?) because he was using an outdated version of TBB that had a vuln?
Even if a new vuln is introduced in the new version, it is much less likely it has been discovered.
>tiling wms
They expose popups (& windows in general) for the cancer they are.
>Even if a new vuln is introduced in the new version, it is much less likely it has been discovered.
close but no cigar. everyone who gives a fuck has 0days for your god forsaken dogshit browser. having the latest security patches merely protects you against getting owned by skidd0s after 5 seconds of using the web
How there would virtually be nothing wrong with Plasma 5 under Wayland if certain gtk applications scaled correctly to hi-res screens. The only browsers I can use that aren't a blurry mess are Falkon and Otter. They're not inherently awful and are up there with the browsers I'd prefer to work if it was necessary for some to not. But, they perform like shit under Wayland and lack uMatrix, an extensions I seldom want to browse the web without.
