    This is topical:

    "To protect against this, customers ... must not attempt to generate infringing materials, including not providing input to a Copilot service that the customer does not have appropriate rights to use."

    Tor seems to work as the default browser on Android, although everything is somewhat slowed. It may even be safe to accept cookies.

    Velociraptor = Distanceraptor/Time...

    Otherwise the "raptors" would cancel.

  • Head's up, Mastodon users: There appears to be a coordinated effort to impersonate relatively high-profile people who have accounts on various instances but who have not used them in a while.

    In my case, "at least 18.2 bits of information", but that seems to be an underestimate based on being unique amongst the recent visitors (~300k = 2^18). If they were independent, the information sources available on me would sum to about 75 bits).

    Less than 8 bits of information with the Tor browser.

    Browser manufacturers should offer a reduced fingerprint option (rather than only trying to block fingerprinting sites).
