It would take an incomprehensible set of changes for me to consider going back to Microsoft. They can fuck off.

It wasn't working at first but now it is!

I assume management is free to do what they want with their phones, so they can fuck all the way off.

People are lazy and don't think very much. Spotify is right there.

Also enshittification: it was better to draw people in, and then they made it shittier and people stay

I buy music (mostly from Bandcamp). Now I have a big library and no subscription fee.

I don't have an emotional attachment to meat. I'd like non-meat stuff to be cheaper, and the real costs of meat to be accounted for.

I don't know a lot about how fingerprinting works, but some of what i've read is pretty insidious. Some things could probably be obfuscated, but some of what the trackers use has legitimate purposes as well. Your application may serve different content based on the screen size, or fall back to an older library if such-and-such API isn't supported.

Personally I'd rather make targeting advertising and tracking illegal, and gut the whole thing to avoid the arms race.

So you're going to make it illegal to call getBoundingClientRect and then pass that information to fetch through any mechanism?

You'd have to kill a lot of JavaScript and CSS for that to work, and then a lot of legitimate function goes away.

Done much web development work?

I'm pretty sure for fonts they can tell because they have different widths, which affects page layout, which can be measured.

There's a lot of stuff like that.

Best would be make it illegal and give the law teeth. Solving it technically will always be an arms race.

I learned in my youth not to read reviews of things I like. It's unpleasant and pointless to read someone savaging your favorite albums or books.

(More critical analysis can be fine, but regular Internet reviews are not so worthwhile)

I'm not even getting phone screens. I don't think humans are even reading the resumes, and when it is a human it's someone non-technical who thinks Java and JavaScript are the same.
