  • Story time, third grader me would have done this no questions about it.

    Having to solve multiplication and recently had learned the table of 9 trick i was looking if there where other tricks I could find.

    The first one was number x10 and what i observed is that if you do times ten. You take the number. And you put 1 “0” behind it.

    Interesting…. I thought

    But the next one multiplied with a single digit so how could i apply that theory.

    Simple. 1+0 is 1, which is a single digit so if you multiply by 10, you actually multiply by 1+0 which means you put 1 zeros behind it

    Multiple by 2 is short for multiply By 2+0, put 2 zeros behind it

    Multiply by 9, put 9 zeros behind it.

    I definitely knew this is not what we had learned, and knew there was a “chance” i was going to fail all of these, i also even knew some of the actual answers however i also believed there was a chance that i found an alternative equally good solution, and I consciously decided to take that risk because I wanted to know if i was right. Maybe I discovered something new

    My teacher was not happy to say the least, and in that (actual) furry did treat me unfair and it still bothers me. Because i got a zero for the assignment… while i was very certain that the 2 occurrences of x10 did have the appropriate solution.






  • I am inclined to agree with that sentiment.

    However I don’t think thats the full story, there are plenty report of this happening on librewolf but I could not find any for firefox with fingerprint protection enabled, neither did i find any for tor (though sites not working on tor is expected and may just not get reported)

    Its seems to me that librewolf has a very unique custom implementation of anti-fingerprinting that is not used elsewhere, ironically that means it could be used as an identifier of its own.

    In the larger context this also isn’t just about one website. Claude isn’t trying to obtain any fingerprints and simply expects time to progress.

    Plenty of other smaller sites that we don’t know might be affected.

    I think they are neglecting a real issue because the bug report about it happens, by coincidence, be an llm site.












  • annything but google is an improvement but none deserve a recommendation.

    ddg is just bing with privacy features but still cozy with microsoft and allows some of their trackers.

    Bing itself, does not need introducing as not being a good alternative.

    Startpage is to google what ddg is to bing.

    Searxng… being open source so you can check yourself if it doesn’t have trackers might be an improvement but if you are not self hosting it can you trust who is not to run custom snoopers? And if you do self host it… its still obtaining results from google and bing your as anonymous as the server ip.
