noyb takes Swedish tax authority to court for selling people’s personal data in c/europe@feddit.org
[–] eee@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 5 hours ago

For anyone not reading the article: "[In Sweden], the tax authority doesn’t just use this information for administrative purposes – but sells it to data brokers who publish it online."

The government shouldn't ever sell people's private data - not for profit, not for anything.

I don't understand how the inner window and the outer window work in c/librewolf@lemmy.ml

I must have missed that part, thanks

I don't understand how the inner window and the outer window work (lemmy.dbzer0.com)
 

I was reading various old posts and the librewolf faq, but none answer my question, so here I am.

Following scenario:

I have the setting against fingerprinting enabled, which is probably the reason why a new private window opens at a set height and set width, 900 and 1600 respectively per about:config.

Now! If I maximise the window, then the inner limits of the window with a webpage do not change (as far as I can tell), what does change is that the original window is embedded now in a bigger window, the bookmarks bar (which I view as separate from the window where a webpage itself is) does stretch to fit to the new size - but as I understand fingerprinting, it's only about the part where the webpage is, not the bookmarks bar or the textbox for the address.

So why does every resource keep saying that maximising the window makes it easier to identify the user if the relevant part of the browser is kept at set height and width even if the window is being maximised? Why having the webpage kind of embedded in a bigger window if it doesn't serve its purpose: Making sure the window is the same size for every user and thus helps against fingerprinting?

Sorry if it is a duplicate, as I said I read old posts and the librewolf faq to no avail.

Thanks!

Ok, I see now how that could happen - I forget people would abuse a law like that.

Thanks.

How about something in Esperanto?

It was created by L. L. Zamenhof, a jewish ophthalmologist from Białystok, then part of the Russian Empire, but now part of Poland (as per Wikipedia) => european language.

Esperanto's vocabulary, syntax and semantics derive predominantly from languages of the Indo-European group. A substantial majority of its vocabulary (approximately 80%) derives from Romance languages, but it also contains elements derived from Germanic, Greek, and Slavic languages (as per Wikipedia) => at least not a 100% romance or germanic or slavic or ... language.

It would at least take away some portion of favouritism because it's not a language from any european country (like English or French), it would be equally not understandable for all of us because it's not being officially taught in schools (is it?) and again no favouritism like it would be the case for Latin (not everyone had it in school).

Or we could dare find a motto (or translate OP's motto) in PIE, but I'm not a linguist, only a lingthusiast.

Why would it suppress left politicians? It's not like any of them have multiple extremism convictions, that's usually rightwing politicians.

I hope some afab folk will chime in, it's ridiculous that only amab people have comfy jeans and things actually resembling pockets.
