Thanks, I didn’t see this, there was a different embedded FAQ that didn’t have the specific Q & A below.
But, if anything, it seems to confirm the ad itself is just legitimately clicked from the user’s IP address and hidden from the user, and that there is code execution protection, but not that there is any privacy protection? It’s still very ambiguous.
How does AdNauseam “click Ads”?
AdNauseam ‘clicks’ Ads by issuing an HTTP request to the URL to which they lead. In current versions the is done via an XMLHttpRequest (or AJAX request) issued in a background process. This lightweight request signals a ‘click’ on the server responsible for the Ad, but does so without opening any additional windows or pages on your computer. Further it allows AdNauseam to safely receive and discard the resulting response data, rather than executing it in the browser, thus preventing a range of potential security problems (ransomware, rogue Javascript or Flash code, XSS-attacks, etc.) caused by malfunctioning or malicious Ads. Although it is completely safe, AdNauseam’s clicking behaviour can be de-activated in the settings panel.
Yeah, I can’t find an answer whether the “click” is behind some obfuscation, or if the “click every ad” is the obfuscation step itself by attempting to poison the data. The latter may work but yes, may actually increase tracking. Wish that answer wasn’t so hard to find on their site.
“The American people deserve a judicial branch full of honest arbiters of the law who want to protect democracy, not subvert it,” Leavitt said. The Justice Department is an executive branch agency.
It’s comedic (if physical revulsion can be comedic) how perfect this doublespeak is - straight out of 1984.
The woman left the house before 13News arrived. She returned just after noon accompanied by a lawyer. The group of ten or so investigators left a few minutes later.
So the FBI were in there, the woman left and came back with a lawyer, and then almost immediately the FBI left. Boy, that doesn’t sound at all like they were conducting an illegal search.
I’m increasingly seeing that as the point. I’ve believed since 2016 that he’s either intentionally or being easily manipulated to serve Russia’s interests and obviously I’m not alone here.
But at this point, dismantling US soft political power, military power, economic power - every action Trump is taking is directly damaging the US with no apparent self-interested payoff. Sure, it’s plausibly deniable and just on the edge of conspiracy-sounding to the public and mainstream, but the theory that Trump acting to destroy the US on behalf of Russia is currently the best fit to the evidence.
I suppose because he can at a moment’s notice gut the SEC and presumably now that X is incorporated in Texas and I have to assume xAI is as well(?) there’s no federal or state fraud investigation likely.
Feels quaint that Trump in 2017 even went to the trouble of filling a table with blank papers to give the appearance of being concerned about conflicts of interest, and this outright self-dealing corruption is happening daily while nobody in power even talks about it.
The allegations from comparing various password leaks are that it’s the same password as for known Hegseth accounts. I get that nothing is verified - someone could have discovered that password in a leak and reused it as a setup - but that’s the strongest corroboration.
“Whoops, we pushed to prod and have no backups. Sorrryyyy!”
They’re a witch speaking in tongues! Burn them!
requiring Ukraine to allocate all resource income to a joint fund managed mainly by the U.S. The proposal grants the U.S. first rights to purchase extracted resources and repayment of aid with 4% interest before Ukraine gains profits.
In other words, “Reject this deal already so we can say Ukraine doesn’t want peace and we can start openly supporting Russia.”
What a huge amount of words to say so little: The feeling is changing based on a few polls that are trending down.
Ok, I disagree. The polls are settling, bottoming out, in a place much higher than they should be. Trump is shock-and-awing successfully. People are disoriented, but the Overton window is shifting very quickly.
And the game isn’t “vibe” or approval. The game is authoritarian takeover. And that game is effectively over. Yes, they stopped following the rules but as we argue about those rules, they’re collecting all the pieces, and putting them away in the box. They. No. Longer. Care. About. Polls.
All this to say, this copium isn’t even high-grade product, it’s too heavily cut with delusion.
I mean, when you collapse that logic you’re effectively saying random is the same thing as non-deterministic. But they’re different things, because even if an infinitesimally exact moment in time may “always” produce the same result, because the arrow of time only points in one direction, no such deterministic result can ever be replicated, and if the result cannot be replicated, then what is the difference from random?
I remember it was not really a surprising set of metrics: gameplay, graphics, and fun.
It was about having an experience you couldn’t have at home (or anywhere else) because the games were always noticeably ahead of the curve.
Graphics were what was most attention-grabbing. It’s hard to communicate how impressive it was since we’re in the diminishing returns era for graphics. But a jump from Pac-Man to Rush 'n Attack or Contra, and from that to Street Fighter II, and from that to Ridge Racer, and that to Daytona USA, and so on… Every step was so imagination-bending.
What would it feel like now? Maybe like if you could play an actual Pixar movie as a game? Something like that, but there’s nothing that really expresses it, photorealism isn’t even that impressive anymore.
What most people don’t know is Republicans have a preset kill limit. Knowing their weakness, Schumer sent wave after wave of Americans at them until they reached their limit and shut down.
We’ve been “defending” a large part of the world for 70 years without owning Greenland.
Yes, but I think Trump doesn’t understand the very concept of voluntary agreement. He only feels right when he has power over a thing and they don’t have a choice about it.
He’ll occasionally accept something given to him without strings, but only by casting that person as a “sucker” (his voters for example). Everything is adversarial and zero-sum to him.
Help, help! Someone call Dunning-Kruger Man! Please, Dunning-Kruger Man, confidently tell us it’s someone else’s fault without actually understanding anything! Hurry, we’re trapped in this news cycle with no way out!
Good job. Keep up the folo. It’s the only way to have repercussions, to keep this story alive through Trump’s attempts to supersede it with media-bait nonsense.
My first thought too. The timing is just too perfect.
My second thought? This means that Trump’s team probably has executive orders just waiting in the wings, since they know how this all works. The only thing needed to supplant even awful news cycles are even worse news cycles.
My third thought? This means every time Team Trump royally messes up something, our only reward will be Team Trump doing something even worse, because it’s the only move they have, ever.
Until we’re all dead by their or our own hands, presumably.
Yep. “My draconian DRM loosened the straight jacket a little.”
Yayyy.
