I both love and hate your use of the thorn character. Keep doing you you beautiful bastard.

And they went with a cheap Gigabyte one…

Security through obscurity isn’t security.

Companies do share data either directly or indirectly, so I don’t think your approach of spreading it out is as effective as you think it is. Still not the worst thing to do in addition to other measures though. Another thing is to use a unique email address for each site to make that one common data point no longer common.

UBlacklist does this, but you have to define what URLs are garbage manually.

Thank you for posting the solution you found. If you don’t mind, what OS are you using?

There was certainly some jank on release but I don’t recall the game feeling unfinished. Are you referring to its initial early access release?

I mean you can make whatever terms you want in a license if it’s yours. As for standard licenses like MIT or GPL. I’m not aware of any that currently exist.

Everyone has good answers but I would check the license of more obscure libraries to just be sure you’re not violating it. GitHub has a handy feature that explains the license (if one exists) in easy to understand terms. I’ve never ran into this issue myself but it’s a good habit to have. Especially when you’re working for a company.

Best bet to see if it would break stuff is to just rename the folder (and make a new one with the same name to be safe). Keep browsing regularly for a few days/weeks to see if anything breaks. My educated guess is it’s probably caching data from other instances.

YouTube will use data about your user of YouTube to try and personalize your recommendations/searches. Considering this is all within the website I don’t see how this is really that much of an issue. Granted this is Google so we know that data is being used elsewhere.
