  • Each popularity-contest host is identified by a random 128bit uuid (MY_HOSTID in /etc/popularity-contest.conf). This uuid is used to track submissions issued by the same host. It should be kept secret.

    Oh, and by default, IP, unless usetor is enabled

    A machine I’d is just a hash too

    Can you explain to me how you track Mac address, serial numbers over the internet.

    Just fyi, the backend project I made 20 years ago was hardware related. There’s potential reasons to grab this info…

    But, if it is a concern, I’m sure they’d welcome submissions to improve the parsing and allow things to be filtered.

    In fact, popcon could be used for digital fingerprinting technically

    In all likelihood, op never spoke to the manjaro developers either









  • I used to think it was better than reddit, but I hate to say it, I’ve started to notice facebook meme communities jump onboard. Science memes is amazing and isn’t affected (it seems to be all unique posts I’d never seen), but once those facebook repost meme communities jump onboard, you’re going to end up with all the people that makes facebook rubbish too unfortunately.

    I’ve already seen an increase in dumb car meme posts which get reposted 3000x on Facebook (which brings along the same toxic anti-science people). We’re already seeing an increase in people who don’t seem to have much common sense

    I want a community which is science and fact oriented, and I’m growing increasingly concerned that as we grow, we’re moving away from that.

    But for now, its still awesome in comparison imho (last I looked, many reddit communities were overrun by nutjobs after the mods all left)









  • That doesn’t mean she supports it. There’s evidence that even with Biden there were things potentially happening in the background to try to stop it. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-06-03/israel-accepts-joe-bidens-gaza-ceasefire-proposal/103926614

    Trump literally asked Russia publicly to find dirt on Hillary to win and praises dictators constantly.Kamala isn’t praising dictators.

    If Trump went to court for every crime he committed, he would have no time to campaign. In fact, with lawsuits they likely have to compress them and limit the contents to the worst offenders to facilitate their processing time.

    You haven’t heard even a small number of crimes that Mafia don has committed. But a guy who goes and laughs on social media when one of his followers attacked pelosis husband obviously supports assault.

    So just to clarify, Trump = actual criminal who uses violence to gain power Kamala = normal person

    You’re also assuming that Trump will end the war. He won’t. He’ll do what he normally does and just shout at both parties. If he gets forced out of office, he’ll sabotage the next president

    Walz in particular is ex military and I seriously doubt he is pro war either. There might be stuff happening in the background again we don’t know about (Trump will brag in public about every single thing he does, but sometimes negotiations require the opposite). It’s similar to criminal investigations which take a long time
