I don’t know anything about TCRF or what they do as their website blocks me. I do see trackers from multiple big corporations on tcrf.net. What bots are using Apple Private Relay?

This is fascinating to me, because you just said you can't see it, but also that there are "trackers from multiple big corporations". Can you tell me what those are? I ask primarily because we explicitly don't use any trackers, to a degree I actually pride myself on running a website that doesn't contact anything else: https://mini.xkeeper.net/private/C58L77azpY.png The sole exceptions are YouTube embeds, afaik.

On the “ Sorry, you are not allowed to access tcrf.net right now” page I get tracked by Google, YouTube and DoubleClick according to the report by Safari.

I also have 924 kilobyte of data stored on my device after visiting tcrf.net without any consent.

uBlock Origin shows nothing out of the ordinary but Youtube, Google and Doubleclick, so Google, Google and Google, and I assume all of those are due to the embed.

If you mean the block page, yes, that's just the YouTube embed. You'll see the same results on any wiki page that has a YouTube embed for the same reason; it's not tracking or anything I have control over (other than outright not having YouTube embeds). But I think if anyone has concerns over that, they're better addressed at the local-user level by disabling all unauthorized iframes.

I remember this being shown in Nintendo Power. As the kind of kid who liked computers and gadgets I really wanted one, and read the article many times.

But of course it never came out.

I had some good fun writing non-gaming apps for the playdate console including a browser [1] and Kagi news mirror [2] and feel the device has great potential as an alternative to android/iOS duopoly [1]: https://github.com/remysucre/ORBIT [2]: https://github.com/remysucre/cranky-news

I had never heard of the Playdate but it looks like a very interesting device... and... I want it? Would you suggest getting one?

When I try to share this page on iMessage it unfurls the link as "LLM / AI Standard Test Page" so I guess I won't share it!

You can choose to display the text of the link, instead of letting your device’s defaults decide who you are, and then telling all of us about it.

Downvoters: Just press and hold, lol…

I would've got one if it wasn't so pricey for these specs. You can get a cheap Anbernic for 40-60$ running linux, with decent ARM CPU and a good backlighted screen.

I was given one and it had some fun gimmicks but if doesn't really last beyond a few sessions. The ecosystem is strange and I just went back to a "real" device a bit after.

There are lightweight YouTube embeds like https://github.com/paulirish/lite-youtube-embed. It’s lauded for faster page loads, but it likely has good privacy implications too since it basically just loads a thumbnail unless you click on it.

It isn’t blocked. It is on for me and the site loaded fine.

It was at the time. Now it’s loading fine. In the 403 screen it specifically called out iCloud privacy.

It was on for me again, 6 hours later.

Ah, another domain for the blacklist.
