Here's another reason why #JavaScript ( #JabbaShit ) should be *off by default*.

@mangeurdenuage Neither moonman nor dude can see us for now. They're on the -dev version of #Pleroma, so #OStatus support has been removed.

> China: Guangdong, the second most severely affected province, but still a very long way below Hubei, the epidemic has peaked and died down to close to zero, and they have downgraded their health alert from I to II – I think only Guangzhou and Shenzhen are still locked down, Shenzhen hasn't had a single new known infection for days now, and everywhere else everyone is back at work, but schools remain closed – so in Guangdong they have done a super job; well done, people. Hubei, the epidemic is still going strong but seems to be peaking (which it will at some point – all epidemics peak at some point), and they have started to ease some of the controls on people's movements. Wuhan has been much harder hit than anywhere else in the country. Everywhere else in China seems to have peaked and be on the way down.

The probably hugely underreported Chinese numbers for #covid19 look like they're peaking, if that means anything. I think it probably does and the official numbers are a decent proxy for the real numbers. If anything, official numbers should go up as the system catches up, but it seems they aren't going up very much anymore.

As soon as I saw these posts, I figured you must be watching the movie with your son.

@silkevicious From what I've seen, the authorities in Lombardy and another area are asking employers to allow employees to work from home for a while, until the current #COVID-19 / #2019-nCoV / Wuhan #coronavirus epidemic blows over.

So definitely don't run pollution software on a computer you actually use. But setting up a special little box with a single board computer and letting it do the pollution part can help all of us.

The thing is, there is _always_ data. Even if you use Lynx as your browser, they can gather enough info about you as you browse around different Web sites that they can assemble a surprisingly detailed and accurate profile of who you are, your age, sex & gender, your ancestry, your interests, your location.

So, yes, remove as much info as possible from your actual browser, but if you can, operate a separate data polluter to foul their data.

I don't recommend using the software in the original post, simply because it is connected to the actual computer one uses, so CloudFlare, Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Facebook, and other data-collectors will just throw CAPTCHAs and log-in pages until you hit some site where you *need* the information, so you have to de-anonymize. Or notice that you're still visiting all the same pages (along with the pollution pages) as [name_redacted] visited before you installed the extension.

I agree, but only partly. I know they have some really good algorithms, but if enough people pass polluted data, their databases will become uncleansable.

For example, when someone posts a link with all the "&utm_" garbage, I remove it all and put in my own. Something like &utm_underpants=Barney

@mangeurdenuage @xrevan86 https://n5.federati.net/url/1623 ... they're saying they haven't verified that it is safe. IMO #UMatrix, #AdBlockPlus, #NoScript are extensions that perform functions that should be built in and on by default. Maybe they should *verify* those extensions and hire the dev teams to make #Firefox / #SeaMonkey the safest browsers.
