I feel like the math in this headline is off.

User agent logging is often done by running javascript locally on a machine, so the vpn would just pass the javascript to the local machine on which it would be run, so the data wouldn’t be effected that way.

Sometimes TLS fingerprinting is done to try to identify bots and not sure if bots would be included. They probably would be included because if they were blocked, then the javascript catching user would never be run on their machine, although I’m unsure of whether such bots would run useragent fingerprinting javascriot yo try to blend in or block it to avoid unneeded processing.

skullfuck all the assholes who did this

metaphorically, of course, in adherence to all of lemmy’s various tos

Hey, I have an idea that will help Microsoft:

why not add even more AI that logs everything and then reports it to the government through additional telemetry?

then they could even require the next edition to include a dedicated advertising GPU to take those logs and create tailored ads on the wallpaper as well as occasionally parse the logs and generate summaries for safety purposes!

that will bring the customers back and boost short-term profits too!

I think the intelligent people of this planet need to use fewer quippy talking points and more force to get these idiots (and the psychopathic elite) to stop reverse-terraforming this planet into a barren hellscape.
