  • You can see if an ad is served and displayed or not

    This doesn’t tell you which specific extensions a user has installed. First, the filter lists are mostly shared between ad blockers, so you can at best tell that some adblock extension is installed, but not which one. Second, the ad might fail to load for a variety of other reasons (e.g. user is offline, firewall blocking URLs/endpoints, network-level DNS adblock, …), so all you can tell is that the user might have an adblock extension installed. That’s far milder than your initial premise: “My point is that any assumption that your extensions are not detected is a delusion[…]”

    you can detect if an iteraction was originated by an user or automatic

    Sure, and how does this help with detecting the installed extensions? Knowing that the click event wasn’t triggered by the user doesn’t tell you who triggered it.

    you can see if letters were pasted or input at a speed no human can match

    Again, how does this help with detecting the installed extensions?







  • Yeah, they didn’t shoot in black-and-white. Everything was recorded in full color, but Nintendo blocked the release due to the similarity. So a bunch of interns had to manually take a screenshot of every frame, save it, import it into a cracked Photoshop copy, export that, and re-import it into the video editor.


  • IMO the bigger problem is that the “average normal politician” managed to be so bad that voters didn’t feel motivated to vote against Hitler.

    This should have been a slam dunk - and there were literally a number of easy ways to motivate voters, like promising to stop the ongoing genocide the country is funding. But when given the choice between “letting Hitler win” and “stopping the genocide”, Harris and the entire DNC leadership chose to let Hitler win.

    Isn’t that deeply fucked up?
