Some downtime and service disruptions may be experienced.
Thanks in advance for your patience.
No, Google! Vivaldi users will not get FloC’ed.

@deep1dive Amusing. And to be clear, I'm referring to the drawing deep1dive posted.

Seeing as we are in off-topic mode, and to add more detail to the comment above.
In 2005, a fragment of papyrus 115 was revealed, containing the earliest known version of that part of the Book of Revelation discussing the Number of the Beast. It gave the number as 616, suggesting that this may have been the original. One possible explanation for the two different numbers is that they reflect two different spellings of Emperor Nero/Neron's name, for which (according to this theory) this number is believed to be a code.
-
@dr-flay , yes, 616 also accepted, but both are refered to Roman occupation, same the whole Apocalypse. Its a letter, nowadays we would say, of protest for the internal information of the resistance, written in metaphoras referring to the Romans and Nero, for obvious reasons, where rebellious Christians quickly left as food for the lions or crucified.
Nothing to do with divine revelations, devils, end of the World, or the like.
Knowing this, the Apocalypse is very well understood and there is nothing mysterious or hidden about it.
OT off
Maybe G need another number of the beast. -
@guigirl , they live

@guigirl I should use Chrome?
-
@gwen-dragon Thanks, some people say their devtools are awesome, I’ll consider it
-
@guigirl I wanted to change to Windows 10 anyway. Fedora is the distribution for wannabe losers. Maybe Floc will work better too. I’ll let you know and write something up to make your own transition easier.

Also uBO is worried about FloC:
https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/releases/tag/1.35.0
"Chromium-based browsers
Google's FLoC is defused by default. Websites will be able to use the FLoC API (only if already present), but will be unable to get a result from it -- uBO causes the API to always fail as if there was no FLoC data available.
If your Chromium-based browser supports the FLoC API, this is the result you should get with uBO when testing with EFF's "Am I FLoCed?" (assuming you did not disable uBO's "uBlock filters -- Privacy" list):
Additionally, uBO causes all websites to opt-out of being part of FLoC calculation by injecting the appropriate response header.
You can opt-in to FLoC by creating the appropriate exception filter, see commit message for details."

Apparently FLoC is dead, but new enemy has emerged - Topics!
With Topics, your browser determines a handful of topics, like “Fitness” or “Travel & Transportation,” that represent your top interests for that week based on your browsing history. Topics are kept for only three weeks and old topics are deleted. Topics are selected entirely on your device without involving any external servers, including Google servers. When you visit a participating site, Topics picks just three topics, one topic from each of the past three weeks, to share with the site and its advertising partners. Topics enables browsers to give you meaningful transparency and control over this data, and in Chrome, we’re building user controls that let you see the topics, remove any you don’t like or disable the feature completely.

@stardust this sounds even more ridiculous... and lame. A wholehearted gratz again to Gargle

I am sure this option will be hidden very deep in the settings and normal users would never discover it.

@stardust Noooo... that can't be... why you say that... (related fresh news
)Google Gets Hit With a New Lawsuit Over 'Deceptive' Location Tracking
"Google falsely led consumers to believe that changing their account and device settings would allow customers to protect their privacy and control what personal data the company could access," DC Attorney General Karl Racine said. "The truth is that contrary to Google's representations it continues to systematically surveil customers and profit from customer data."

@npro I know, never trust Google
-
@stardust I'm beginning to worry that my fav hobby of kitten-strangling might place me into a too-narrow Topics pool, which then might lead me to become unfairly socially ostracised. Such injustice!

@stardust See! It's already begun!! Topics are terrible!!! Gargle are evil!!!!
