If you’re outside the US, or where more people use Samsung devices, Samsung Smarttags could be a better choice.

SmartTube is more optimized for TV: https://github.com/yuliskov/smarttube

Give it a try.

Aw shucks…

For now I just have to remember not to automatically click on IG links. Need to copy and clean it up first 😔

Thanks.

I wasn't aware of this. Is there any way to turn it off? Thanks

I'm aware. So even though I have to use them, I try to limit trackings as much as I can.

I've done that. That's the issue.

What about preserving languages that are close to extinct, but still have language data available? Can LLMs help in this case?

First time hearing about it. Link for others who are also wondering what Microsoft Pluton is:

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/security/blog/2020/11/17/meet-the-microsoft-pluton-processor-the-security-chip-designed-for-the-future-of-windows-pcs/

While whether LLMs are intelligent or not is still hotly debated. I think the author's thoughts are very interesting.

This is crazy to me. You can read in a stream of meaningless numbers (tokens) and incidentally build a reasonably accurate model of the real things those tokens represent.

The implications are vast. We may be able to translate between languages that have never had a “Rosetta Stone”. Any animals that have a true language could have it decoded. And while an LLM that’s gotten an 8 year old’s understanding of balancing assorted items isn’t that useful, an LLM that’s got a baby whale’s grasp on whale language would be revolutionary.

The article is predicting that smartphones and movie cameras might adopt this.

Because url shorteners can be used to hide affiliate links or even malicious URLs.

I'm aware that with most privacy issues, a lot of people have limited understanding about it. Hell, I'm probably ignorant on many other privacy issues outside of this topic.

Try sharing Instagram post or YouTube video from the apps.

Instagram adds 'igshid=' . YouTube adds 'si='.

Try sharing the same IG or YouTube content from different accounts. The 'igshid', 'si' param value will be different

It can be used to tag who shares it, and who clicks on that specific url param.

TikTok hides a ton of such params behind shortened url. Try expanding tiktok shared urls.

For android, I use this: https://github.com/TrianguloY/UrlChecker

For firefox, I use ublock origin and add then anti url tracking list. Adguard maintains such a list. I forgot the exact name though.

Edit: it's this one https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AdguardTeam/FiltersRegistry/master/filters/filter_17_TrackParam/filter.txt

Thanks. Looking back, maybe I should've at least explained about it a little more. At the time I just wanted to blow off some steam.

Then they know who's the poster (you), they can know your username if they want to. A lot of people use the same username in many places, so unless you use different usernames in different social media, it's still valuable data.

If not that, seeing how the content spreads through social media and analyzing the reach is interesting data by itself.

How so? This is a rant post, I'm not trying to present it differently.

Look, the point is that I've tried explaining it to friends and family and whoever want (and don't want) to listen.

This post is a rant / wishful thinking as stated as being so, I'm not in the mood of explaining everything again. I've done that in my personal blog, etc.
