Unfortunately the bare minimum is in most cases already enough to uniquely fingerprint you.

Not really. The "fingerprint" is not one thing, it's many, e.g. what fonts are installed, what extensions are used, screen size, results of drawing on a canvas, etc... Most of this stuff is also in some way related to the regular operation of a website, so many of these can't be blocked.

You could maybe spoof all these things, but some websites may stop behaving correctly.

And if Putin could calm the fuck down then we could.

"Islamic extremist"? This magazine was founded and is currently operated by Israeli jews. What are you on about?

My girlfriend's uncle is mentally handicapped and has severe autism. He's very friendly and wouldn't hurt a fly, and I sincerely believe he's a good person.

I would never rely on him in a combat situation, as he'd likely get me killed by accident.

I was so certain the link would lead to the website of the British Museum.

I feel like you're being overly pedantic here. The idea was intended to have the exact same effect, for the exact same reason. The only difference is the medium.

The most important element of a "laugh track" isn't the track, it's the element of laughter purposefully being inserted rather than being elicited from the audience. Sure, these days it's easiest to do with a recording. But if you wanted to do so before recordings existed, that was possible too: you just need to hire people to do it.

But you're correct that they didn't have recording equipment in ancient times. But that also wasn't the point of the video.

You could have a hired group of people to laugh at certain jokes in a theatre show? Would sound exactly like and have the same purpose as a laugh track. It'd be live and not recorded, but just as non-genuine as actual laughter from the audience.

Loving the gradual improvement in this series. Looks great!

Brexit consolidated the EU. Even Meloni, far-right as though she may be, has ended up surprisingly pro-EU. Desire to leave the EU also dropped dramatically after people saw the shambles that is Brexit.
