Is it sufficient to set the Enhanced Tracking Protection to “Strict” (which claims to block cross-site cookies in all windows), or is there something else you have to do?

Posts like this remind me just how grateful I am for the Fediverse.
Edit: Thank you, kind stranger!
I remember when I used to be able to find dedicated message boards for bands that I liked. Now I’m lucky if there’s a subreddit where it’s just a bunch of people submitting poorly drawn fan art of the band.
Another day, another moment of being thankful for my dedicated .mp3 player.
This won’t affect me - seeing as I have no use for Instagram - but I do worry that some actual DECENT sites will adopt this in the near future.
The full article is well worth reading. It’s good to find a lucid, logical deconstruction of why, precisely, this will be a complete disaster.

Further justifying my commitment to avoiding Prime at all costs.
Life is just one long, hard kick in the urethra, and sometimes when you get home from a long day of getting kicked in the urethra, you just want to watch a show about good, likable people who love each other, where, you know, no matter what happens, at the end of 30 minutes, everything’s gonna turn out okay.
I’ll keep using Windows as long as programs like Open Shell and OSSU are able to deal with the bullshit. But if there comes a day when they no longer work…well, Linux awaits.
Good. Fuck Twitter.
Privacy isn’t dead, but it will be soon because those of us who seriously care about it are the 0.001%.
This is basically “dog bites man” territory at this point.
The “Blocked since install” stat on uBlockOrigin is always an eye-opener.
Yes, this exactly! I still cannot fathom how Discord took off. It offers literally no advantages over forums, and introduces some massive disadvantages.
A lot of it is familiarity. I begged my parents to cancel Netflix, especially since they complain about the programming (or lack thereof); I pointed out that they could try another streaming service for a month, and then if they really hated it, then they could just go back to Netflix. But they wouldn’t even entertain the possibility. They’re afraid of change.
And Netflix is making bank on that.
Absolutely horrifying, but not surprising. This kind of shit is exactly what we were worried about when facial recognition tech started to take off.
I pity the poor fool who sets up their smart TV instead of just grabbing an HDMI cable and plugging in their computer.
