I couldn’t find any info about this with a quick search. Do you have any links to where I can read more about this?

adding unique IDs to every installation.

I wasn’t familiar with that so I did a quick search. For anyone else interested here is some info about it:

• Each Firefox download has a unique identifier -ghacks, Mar. 2022

“Internet users who download the Firefox web browser from the official Mozilla website get a unique identifier attached to the installer that is submitted to Mozilla on install and first run.”

[…]

“Firefox users who prefer to download the browser without the unique identifier may do so in the following two ways:”

1. Download the Firefox installer from Mozilla’s HTTPS repository (formerly the FTP repository).

2. Download Firefox from third-party download sites that host the installer, e.g., from Softonic.

“The downloaded installers do not have the unique identifier, as they are identical whenever they are downloaded.”

In the comments section someone says:

“It seems that getting Firefox from GNU/Linux repos (Debian, etc.), doesn’t come with unique IDs.”

Interesting take.

Why? What’s inaccurate about it? I have no idea and would like to learn.

I’m not saying I agree with their justification but I could see why they might be collecting yet another data point: education level. If someone constantly uses a calculator for simple calculations they might have a low education level. People in that demographic will be served different ads than more educated people.

It sucks, but I could see Google doing that.

The Boost for Lemmy app is pretty good.

That’s one big kitty!

(Cute momma. Well I assume it’s Momma.)

I didn’t see the mom (or any adult cats), just kittens.

I edited the title. Thanks again for informing me. They’re so cute!

My bad for guessing. Thanks for the correction. I just looked up that breed and I think you are correct.

I wasn’t familiar with that breed so thanks for teaching me something new today. I love learning new things.

The kitty litter subsidies would be amazing. Cheap litter for all!

Why ASUS? I used to have one of their routers but aside from that I don’t know much about them.
