can we get a cancer thread going? i often want to show someone a picture of tech cancer but dont have one on hand. this thread will help save you from this problem
You don't need to look far to get pictures of tech cancer. Chances are you're living in it.
Visit the website of nearly any linux distro and check the screenshots page. Alternatively searx "windows desktop". Then screencap searx itself. Screencap any website serving html over http, or just html, or anyone filesharing over http. Screencap the captcha on the reply boxes of this website, screencap your command line, screen cap my post. Shoot a picture of the ports on the back of your computer, of your computer's case, of your screwless drive bay and of whatever mouse you have plugged in. Find a mirror and take a picture of your camera also. *Disclaimer: this list is heavily incomplete.
The most cancerous thing RN is javascript on all static pages that dont need it. I dont even mean clickbait websites that "need" a cryptominer + 15 ads on their sites. I mean just sites that provide static information not for monetary gain, yet require all the silly scripts.
>>9196 >>9197 >it's all relative mannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn >>9203 this >>9201 based. i forgot about terminals and IRL crap like this. should get some pics of ATMs in my city
>>9226 EU really did fucked up with the cookie thing. What they should have done is they should have banned cross-domain tracking cookies altogether. Instead what we got is a useless dialog window on literally every page that everybody just clicks 'i agree' without even thinking about it and nothing of value was achieved. What a bunch of faggots, i really wonder what were they thinking
>>9248 I've started seeing websites with two buttons, "accept" and "deny". I wonder how many of their users are clicking accept... This was the intention of the EU I think, not to ban cookies, but to give people choices about them. Still, it's completely pointless, since users never want to be tracked, and websites (with notable exceptions) all want to track users. If they cared about the users, they'd ban the relevant cookies completely.
Then I hear about one of the politicians in my (non EU) country talk about adding tracking to the train system and selling it to advertisers. So whatever you say about the EU politicians, at least they were thinking.
>>9252 > users never want to be tracked Yeah i wish. The overton window is moving and it is doing so in the wrong direction - most people just dont give a fuck anymore and some even appreciate the more 'relevant' ads. Its gonna get worse. Way worse probably.
>>9258 They shoulda put Nanochan in charge of their internet policy! Imagine what that woulda turned inta? Woulda been awesome!
There is a "cookies" list that can be turned on in uBlock Origin, that will block that sort of "Do you Agree?" shit. There is also an "I don't care about cookies" or something list (the list is for adblockers) & plugin (as mentioned in Digdeeper's blog), but I think the one in uBO is probably better. Though you can add that list to uBO, there is not much point and it's quality is disputed by the uBO devs compared to the built-in one.
This is yet another reason why uMatrix + uBO is better.
>>9253 Insane, right? People are all up in a tizzy about dumb ass corporations (that have alternatives) censoring them, but don't give a shit about privacy, security or anonymity.
By the way, suggestion: Can we define "Nanonimity" as "Privacy + Security + Anonymity"? It would be more "nano" than saying or typing all three of those words.
>>9248 >EU really did fucked up with the cookie thing. What they should have done is they should have banned cross-domain tracking cookies altogether. Instead what we got is a useless dialog window on literally every page that everybody just clicks 'i agree' without even thinking about it and nothing of value was achieved. What a bunch of faggots, i really wonder what were they thinking the reason why EU made this cookie thing wasn't to protect privacy it was made for: -testing if websites will comply with their nigger orders, if not, punish them, have only cucked websites that follow laws and jews -forcing people into using javascript to be able to close cookie windows -making people not delete cookies to not have to close cookie window every time
so in fact, objective was the opposite of privacy. this regulation was lobbied and bribed by the web jews
>>9248 > EU really did fucked up with the cookie thing. What they should have done is they should have banned cross-domain tracking cookies altogether. what they should have done is nothing fuck your stupid webshit it isn't worthy of laws
>>9230 lurk moar newfag >>9269 What can we choose to do about it? Make a law for people to not be retards? Literally all the pictures ITT are examples of how your dumbfuck legislation resulted. Even if all the privacy shit (and even standardization shit) was fixed, the web would still be unusable cancer. People who want privacy legislation don't actually understand the problems in the slightest. It's like people who boycot Walmart for a day because a newspaper said one of their suppliers is evil..
And here friends, is what it looks like when you click on 10 links. This is the #1 main purpose of the concept of hypertext. Any real, non-clickbait, website, containing actual content, should be linking to multiple pages across multiple websites (as opposed to 10 links to Wikipedia) as citations/references.
When you follow these links, you should get either a web page, or an error, and the error should be the same for every single page, so you can actually tell its an error without thinking.
In reality, you instead get (((custom))) error codes, (((different types of error codes))) which 99% of the time are just the developer not understanding what the error code is for so they aren't helpful anyway, (((custom))) errors, hijacked domains, domain parking pages, popups, and you have to read the pages one by one to figure out which ones actually worked (after closing the 3 or so popups that come up at completely random unpredictable times).
security LARP literally a list of onion domains would be more secure and useful than this autistic bullshit. i dont know a single one of these websites, so it doesn't matter if i have the real cert. since the webpage ITT is the one that INTRODUCED me to these pages, it may as well just give me the key. i couldn't give less fucks about what the domain name is
>>9459 maps dont need JS. why would you use a web map "app" like google instead of real software? sounds fucking terrible and slow. they probably fucked it up so bad you could just have a server that sends a map with N/W/E/S/NW/NE/SE/SW buttons and it would be 10x better also LMFAOOOOOOOOOO at sending every single place you're interested in and where you plan to go to GOOGLE.
BEHOLD, _THE_ ULTIMATE WEB CANCER, BY THE CREATOR OF MANY FORMS OF *CANCER* HIMSELF, JEFF ATW00D this is what happens when you go to stackoverflow.com and type anything in the search bar
and here is some neo-classical web cancer. the download button that looks like an ad but isn't. the only reason it looks like an ad is because a previous wave of web cancer caused us to assume any download button that looks like this is an ad
>>9502 Stack overflow is one of these things that id have expected to work perfectly without js. It really seems they genuinely did this to protect themselves from attacks, unfortunately they went with the most convenient method for them and the least convenient one for the user. Anybody who uses jewgles captcha is a massive faggot and shouldnt be in the business of running websites
>>9504 I wonder if they were aware of this but went with it anyways or are just this inexperienced. Hopefully whoever made the actual software is a different bunch of people from whoever made the site.
>>9501 Googles maps are actually fucking great. Theres no denying that they must have completely throw any kind of ethics or respect for their users's privacy into the toilet for them to be able to create that but fuck me if it isnt one their greatest achievements if not the one. Its a shame i cant use it for obvious reasons
>>9510 >implying man page is anything more than a few sentences about flags >implying any shell developer even knows what buttons his program supports or what escape sequences do what >>9511 it's not default font, i just disabled letting websites choose fonts and spent 3 seconds changing it to one that looks good (on a high end last generation CRT) meanwhile, your actual gay "le typesetting" subpixel shit looks bad even on most LCDs

>>9562 Yeah!! There are cockli (and protonmail) alternatives that don't use any JS though. Still though, is there not an better way to do things? Maybe some notes should be taken from plan9?
The whole "use your phone" thing is indeed stupid. Anyone with sense would get a "freetext" account and if that didn't work cash-buy a flip phone from their local mart.
>>9611 Well no the same thing would have happened even if the hostnames did resolve, but I agree, DNS is also cancer. I searched DNS to see if I could get an easy picture of some DNS cancer but the first result was this: https://www.cloudflare.com/learning/dns/what-is-dns/ LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO these retards think this is so simple even after giving the most complex introduction to such a low-powered concept lmaoooo at pajeet reading this page and not learning the only useful things about DNS being how to do an A request and how to setup /etc/resolv.conf

>>9616 That's only cancerous if you installed thru a package manager and it's it's trying to get you to direct download. Otherwise, keeping up to date is important for security.
>>9624 no no, updates gives you more privacy!11 i actually posted it to make fun of the WM's retarded interaction. the message box constantly flickers between the middle of the screen and the top right. gimp does this with tiling WMs as well
>>9626 >Security, didn't say no no, updates gives you more privacy!11. If a new vuln is discovered and patched, you don't want to be using the non-patched version. Didn't they catch somebody doing something illegal (pirating?) because he was using an outdated version of TBB that had a vuln? Even if a new vuln is introduced in the new version, it is much less likely it has been discovered. >tiling wms They expose popups (& windows in general) for the cancer they are.
>Even if a new vuln is introduced in the new version, it is much less likely it has been discovered. close but no cigar. everyone who gives a fuck has 0days for your god forsaken dogshit browser. having the latest security patches merely protects you against getting owned by skidd0s after 5 seconds of using the web
How there would virtually be nothing wrong with Plasma 5 under Wayland if certain gtk applications scaled correctly to hi-res screens. The only browsers I can use that aren't a blurry mess are Falkon and Otter. They're not inherently awful and are up there with the browsers I'd prefer to work if it was necessary for some to not. But, they perform like shit under Wayland and lack uMatrix, an extensions I seldom want to browse the web without.
Steam is one of the most cancerous things to happen to computing. For starters the GUI was a slow, unresponsive piece of horse shit since the early 2000s and continues to be so. I have no idea why anyone would have wanted to integrate such an unusable piece of shit into their own product back when Steam wasn't even popular enough to matter. It also brings webshit into your game which would have potentially been a real product otherwise. And why the fuck do you want people to be able to steal your single player games?

Besides recaptcha many modern forums and sites also require an email. And they won't send their confirmation link to cock.li or other providers that don't require a phone number, they just won't. The only provider I have found to work with these fuckers is ya.ru , but 1) it's in Russian (which I happen to somewhat understand) 2) captchas there are often in Cyrillic, which I know, but just like with recaptcha, you may solve it all correctly and it'll say it's incorrect, so you just gotta try over and over again, from different exit nodes 3) in a couple of days they'll tell you you're "suspicious" and require you to give them a phone number Imagine having to go through all of this just to post something anonymously, and even then it won't work everywhere. What a world we live in
>>10714 This is an example of tech cancer not just because of the website's amount of shit, but because Umatrix which is supposed to be a power user tool doesn't allow you to block individual scripts and you have to open Ublock's log and block scripts from there, at which point you might drop Umatrix entirely.
>>11257 archive.org will not just deny you from using cock.li, but it will prevent you from creating an account through Tor and just display a blank page (I suppose as a plausibly deniable way of blocking Tor, as if it was just a bug). And then it will make you log into an account to access controversial content, presumably to associate the access to that content with your real IP addresses and give it to the police.

>>11285 >auto-update by default There is nothing wrong with auto-update. If it was not done automatically people would never update and it would cause more issues for support due to people using old version of the client. It also helps in rolling out security fixes. >no scheduling by default I am not quite sure what you mean by that, but it seems like most downloads get scheduled to be done at the middle of the night. >must login at least once every arbitrary number of days to (((prove))) you're you False.

Maybe you are thinking of VAC? VAC tries very hard to have 0 false positives. If you do get false banned you can contact Steam support to get unbanned at least that is how it works for Valve titles. >safe space community I am not quite sure what you are talking about. Even if you get banned from the Steam community, it is not like you are missing out on much.
>>11286 >There is nothing wrong with auto-update. There is everything wrong with autoupdate, basically you are giving whoever the updates full control over your software and data, with autoupdates it is possible to: - Insert backdoors, spyware and malware. - Add unnecessary features. - Remove features. - Target a single user with shit like A/B testing, treating people like guinea pigs. - Make unwanted changed, like the dreaded UI changes. - Locking down content behind paywalls - Whatever else malicious developers want to do with you. Autoupdate it's always been used for bad, it's purpose was always to take control away from the user, updating should ALWAYS be a choice. >people would never update It's the user business, why do you think it's the developer business what I run on my machine? >it would cause more issues for support Who the fuck cares, you are not required to support old versions anyway. >False. I took over a year break when... It asks for shit like take the code from email, etc... it's annoying and patronizing. >It is easier to have the same user interface as the website if the client is able to reuse the same code in both. Oh god he's retarded, you seriously fucking think embedding AN ENTIRE FUCKING BROWSER is better than just reimplementing the same features in the website in the native UI?! Mantaining a whole fucking browser. OH MY GOD. You see this highlights another big problem with modern tech, which are services that are first implemented on websites and then needs to be ported on applications, while it should be the other fucking way, you first design an application and then MAYBE you let people access some features from web. The world is backwards I swear.
Steam is shit, they is still way worse than it though which is hilarious and sad at the same time. The only good thing is that game developers can opt-out of a lot of the bullshit and use steam just as a store.

It is not just about not having bugs which is practically impossible to pull off, it is also about keeping your users on the same version of the software reducing what versions you are supporting and making debugging easier. >opens the user up to attacks by nefarious glow-niggers Compared to what?

>I am not quite sure what you mean by that, but it seems like most downloads get scheduled to be done at the middle of the night. I might be wrong on this because I avoid Steam like the plague whenever possible but scheduling is off until you turn it on an Steam will download auto-updates pretty much whenever it feels like it.
>>must login at least once every arbitrary number of days to (((prove))) you're you >False. Maybe they changed it in the last ~6 years but when I used to use offline mode every week or so like clockwork it would tell me I had to login online because it said so.

>>11285 steam is a worthless gay piece of shit with an army of retards who think it's god. i could spend 10 million posts listing all the types of cancer it has last time i used it, it was like "oops u didnt give phone number, you wont be able to add friends", and after 10 minutes we found a way to bypass this and i was finally able to join a game with a person sitting right beside me and like all modern webshit (and steam is essentially just webshit), it constantly locks you out for "hacking attempts" >>11286 i wont argue on autoupdate tripe, but right now it's far worse: gayme developers just rollout a new thing you have to update or you can't play at all, and they DMCA all the old versions of the game so we can't go back to them for reference or if we want to play a version without their latest gay changes (and the latest changes are ALWAYS gay, that's just how corporate/consumer circlejerk works) >>11286 >>It is easier to have the same user interface as the website if the client is able to reuse the same code in both. steam doesn't even need a website. a "gayming platform" shouldn't invonve webshit whatsoever. but then again, a gayming playform just shouldnt exist

>>11289 >auto-update There are legitimate reasons for needing to update software beyond the presence of bugs. Interfaces (specifically APIs) to other things may change. For example a client for a service will need to be updated if the service changes its interface, no bugs required.
The interface changing may be due to new features/changing concerns. For example, your browser updates to support features in newer Javascript, your compiler updates to support features in newer C++, your telemetry service updates to support features in the newer telemetry API.
That said I agree that it should ultimately be the users choice which version of the software they run. However if external interfaces change then the software the user is currently running may be basically useless e.g. Firefox 3.6 would be shit to use to browse the (((modern web))).
>>13094 You'd be surprised how long """obsolete""" software can last especially if it's not constantly trying to tattle your activity back to it's developer. I still use programs which are extremely out of date and more often than not I don't notice a thing. The only time you really need to update is for encryption/security programs (even then it's debatable) and internet-facing programs. The rest can essentially stagnate forever.
>>9191 It's mostly due to laziness from the developers part who rather use library functions to do tasks such as fetching images from server(TBF for their part web developers work with tight schedules so they can't be blamed for being lazy) and another reason would be trying to put less load on the server.

also pic related: fucking waste my time reading this joke text because current year and everything is ironic as opposed to normal UIs from 2000s which would just say >[o] Start discord with Windows and this garbage font: I have ClearType (Microsoft's font system with antialiased and subpixel rendered font etc) disabled (and all Aero shit for that matter). With this, Firecuck falls back to some horrible fucking unreadable piece of shit font as you can see in the image (which is a new issue, Firecux didn't used to have this issue). And thus webshit inside "app" all has the same issue, due to using the same web engine or whatever garbage. Strangely, even on Lincux when I set fontconfig to force all fonts to a single monospace non-antialiased font, Firecux instead opts to show this insane garbage font - exactly the same issue as on Windows.
>>15371 I think you should be more careful about your anonymity.

These are not feature-driven products anymore. It's solely and specifically datamining driven shitware and nigger cattle of a massive scale can't tell the difference.
>>9270 Jewgle gives you the first 15GB for free with their (((cloud storage))) service but you have to pay for extra storage. Imagine paying for storage you can't access without an internet connection and which can viewed by jewgle and any third-party they sell copies of it to at any time instead of spending an equivalent amount of money on a HDD dock and some cheap SATA HDDs.
(((The cloud))) really is one of the most cancerous things in current day technology. Even the name is cancerous. Normalniggers know so little about computers that they think their files are "off in the clouds" or whatever they think, when really it's stored in a server in a different physical location, likely being analyzed by some algorithm in order to figure out which category to put it into before finding an advertizer to sell it to.
>>18321 >free vpn Any service that provides a VPN as a secondary feature complimentary to their primary service should be considered suspicious: especially if it's offered for free. I used to have a winbloat laptop with Avira anti-virus on it and even the free version comes with an optional free vpn. I never used it because I knew that they wouldn't offer a service like that for free if they weren't getting something out of it. Even anti-virus software itself is dubious - you allow them to scan the contents of part of or all of your hard drive. It's not impossible that meta data could be scraped during those scans and sent back to servers for data-mining and later selling to third parties. In fact I'd say it's likely. How else can they sustain their business model? Out of the goodness of their hearts? Lmao.
>>18463 In this day and age how do they even justify such a tiny limit? Of all the useless, money-wasting ventures Google has (not to mention literal money pits like donating to BLM or some shit), they decided that consumer cloud storage is the place to be aggressive about profit margins? Their own cloud storage service they shill to enterprise (doubtless with a huge markup) costs pennies. Why don't they at least up that to 150 GB or something? In fact why not just make it infinite free storage? Most people won't have more than a few GB anyway because everyone has shit bandwidth.
But yeah using someone else's cloud is gay. It's also normalizing not having control of your data and system to normies. But who knows, if desktop computers really become obsolete and everyone switches to thin clients, maybe we will finally go back to being a tiny market of enthusiasts who actually buy and run their own machines like back in the day.
>they decided that consumer cloud storage is the place to be aggressive about profit margins What do you mean? From just your picture if you store 115GiB of data on Google Cloud Storage you will be charged $2.99 per month. If you store 115GiB on Google Drive you will be charged $1.99 per month (or $1.67 per month if you pay for a year upfront). Google Drive also does not charge you for bandwidth, nor for accessing your data. >But yeah using someone else's cloud is gay Not really. It makes sense that if your business is not maintaining infrastructure, it makes sense to want to outsource it. Google Cloud has 11 9's (99.999999999%) annual durability. That would be expensive to achieve on your own. It gives you peace of mind not having to worry about hard drive problems. >if desktop computers really become obsolete and everyone switches to thin clients I doubt we'll go back to thin clients as they were with mainframes. When we get to that point our thin clients will be more powerful than current smartphones. The cloud will allow you to purchase (through microtransactions) extra compute, storage, etc. For example if you need to render a video or 3D animation you just pay to temporarily rent compute power to nearly instantly finish rendering your project. You will pay for compute / storage when you need it as opposed to buying expensive components before hand.
While reading up on the companies involved in mass surveillance, I found this page by The Guardian literally asking me to opt into surveillance on a fucking article about spying. Not only that but it's covering up almost the entire page only leaving a tiny area of my screen for actual reading. What is wrong with web developers.

>>57637 I couldn't find software other than Firefox that does OCSP queries by default so as far as I'm concerned that was FUD. The rest of the world has apparently moved on to OCSP stapling which doesn't require third party servers.
>>57877 It's a thread about cancerous software, especially sites laden with spyware, javascript, javascript requiring recraptchas, cloudflare, blocking tor, electron, etc. Also including art by evil corpos, and phones/mobile OSs in all their poorly designed and spyware infested unglory.
