This is a good time to remind people that these prompts not only concern cookies (or even all cookies), but any form of non-essential visitor tracking.
Some tracking methods will more effectively be able to track you across the boundaries of your "incognito" sessions.
For example, the modern browser has a huge API surface that makes accurate finger printing using tuples of individually only moderately narrowing information possible for as long as you allow it to execute JavaScript.
I use separate and fresh isolated firefox (running within podman container) to make fingerprinting a bit more difficult, it's still fingerprintable and probably this new fingerprint can be easily associated with the other but I like to imagine I make it more difficult to track me. Every little helps :)
I do wonder how accurate that is these days... Like it says that my user agent is significantly more unique than my monitor resolution, but Safari froze the user agent years ago.
Which means that they calculate there are 21x more people that have a $5k XDR display than use macOS Safari. Which seems... unlikely.
(anyway, tracking via IP address is a pretty accurate way to track across browsers and cookie resets, until you're behind a large NAT / proxy.)
Yep, with this much of information it probably won't be a problem to match two browsers running on same machine. Interestingly my ff session which runs in podman does not reveal most of the best sources of fingerprinting which I can see when running the same test on chromium.
I wonder if the answer to the problem could be to let those companies to track whatever they want if only all they get is exactly the same fingerprint from every user.
They could still fingerprint your browser. Agreeing to the prompt doesn’t just mean consenting to the placement of cookies but potentially the combination, re-identification and sale of such data.
Yeah - I paid for Pragmata back in the day and totally forgot about it when Iosevka appeared. Even reminds me a little bit of 6x13 which I used for so long with my Dell 22"...
I can find various results where that number is negative (Faltings height of LMFDB elliptic curve 1688.c1; north east longitude of el Baix Segura) but not where the number is positive. It's part of a DOI string though, but that's not really a number.
I guess Amazon just started to understand they have no clue about how gamedev industry works. They invested heavily in this, but nobody wanted their proprietary tech with cloud lock-in.
Now they changed strategy to compete with Epic's Unreal by making the engine actually royality-free and open source. It's very logical step that to compete with source-available product you need one under proper open source license with patents grant.
I wouldn't go as far as calling it a complete rewrite. The renderer (called Atom) is completely new, but many other things stayed the same. Our Lumberyard Gem required some work to port over, but that was mostly replacing old CryEngine stuff with the equivalent in the Lumberyard/O3DE API.
Browsing through the code, there's a pretty sizeable chunk of old CryEngine stuff (CryCommon and CrySystem), it's in a directory called "Legacy", but I guess that doesn't mean that it isn't needed anymore.
I too would like it to be changed to the fetaure link. AFAIK this page was not available when I posted the release PR statement.
Also several of my partners shots are in their product announcement page, which is nice to see. (To be clear I don't work for Pixar and they aren't in the rendering team so this post wasn't a plug)
