> most idea i have seen, like a tor browsing, is focusing on changing fingerprint and not so much on making fingerprint non-unique.

Not sure if I exactly understand what you're trying to say here, but the Tor Browser itself certainly focuses on making its users' fingerprints identical. At least it's the only browser I know of that passes fingerprint tests (Panopticlick and friends) with JavaScript enabled.

I would guess that the amount of people who care about which keyboard layout they use, don't use the local keyboard layout, and require appropriate labeling of keys (i.e. don't touch type) at the same time isn't that high. I can imagine how annoying it must be to be in that group, though.

There are few million people in Berlin. A couple of hundred of thousand of them are Turkish or Russian minorities. And another few hundred thousand expats are working in the tech industry from all over the world. Most coffee shops in my area don't even have German speaking staff; much to the annoyance of some of the locals.

Some, of those people buy locally and suffer the bad experience of dealing with a sub optimal keyboard. But a lot of them take their money abroad. Local businesses are missing out on that, which IMHO is kind of stupid.

I still wonder how that detection thing works. My custom Firefox setup with requests proxied through Tor passes as the TBB, but copying the same request as a curl command somehow doesn't.

Yeah, it's pretty weird and apparently it's being updated as well. Like, a year ago or so I wrote a browser extension to trick that detection mechanism when I'm on stock Firefox. Just when writing that comment I discovered something has changed and that's not needed anymore.

Yeah after years of suffering from reCAPTCHA I'm somewhat thankful for hCaptcha. It is still annoying (especially Cloudflare's integration which seems barely compatible with the Tor Browser's cookie and circuit management), but at least I don't have to switch exit nodes twenty times just to have a chance of my solution being accepted (like with reCAPTCHA).

Or if you prefer JavaScript, try qjscalc from QuickJS [1].

> I have sort of a weird grip but can type at about 80-90wpm on my phone with enough accuracy that autocorrect works the majority of the time.

I'm quite curious about your `weird grip'; 80-90 wpm on a touchscreen sounds absurdly fast.

I can get around 75-80 WPM tap-typing on my iPhone. No weird grip.

Though, to measure that I had to make my own typing test, because after trying multiple websites and native apps, I couldn’t find any tests that didn’t disable autocorrect. Accuracy without autocorrect may be interesting to measure, but in real-world typing, I intentionally sacrifice accuracy for speed and let autocorrect pick up the slack. A test of practical typing speed should take that into account.

If anyone else wants to try, here is my very barebones test:

Ah excellent, I agree most type sites are terrible for mobile. This is much appreciated

So I type with my left pointer finger and right thumb.

My left hand has the middle finger on the side edge, thumb on the bottom edge. The rest of the fingers hang.

My right hand supports the back of the phone with 3 fingers, pointer on the side edge and the thumb types.

Hope they helps describe it. My family and friends make fun of how fast and loud I type and my weird grip, but I do take pride in my speed :)

Couldn't the poster set a password instead of a cookie, which they could then use for comment moderation on that post?

If I could give you a cookie now, I would.

I don't know why I didn't think of this before lol

> which was/is interpreted by some to be an endorsement of deplatforming.

How else could one interpret it? I'm genuinely curious, as I thought they were pretty clear about it (emphasis mine):

> We need solutions that don't start after untold damage has been done.

> Changing these dangerous dynamics requires more than just the temporary silencing or permanent removal of bad actors from social media platforms.

> Additional precise and specific actions must also be taken:

Imagine that you wanted to advocate against deplatforming, specifically by suggesting better ways to accomplish common laudable goals. However, you can’t argue directly against deplatforming, as this instantly labels you a Trump supporter (and might get you deplatformed). So what could you do?

I am not claiming any secret knowledge about what Mozilla was or is thinking, but what they wrote can certainly also be interpreted in this light, as well.

I normally use the Kanji draw [1] application which is also surprisingly good at recognizing what I'm trying to input. Not nearly as forgiving as Google's solution [2], which I sometimes have to fallback to, but usually it works if I can at least roughly guess what the official way of drawing a character is and check for inexact matches. Plus it's FOSS.

[2]: "Note that this will NOT work - at all - if you don't know basically how to draw kanji. If you just draw something any old way that looks like it, it certainly won't be recognised."

Well the Hungarian one feels like somebody took every single word in the essay and replaced it with the first result from a rather small dictionary.

Google Translate produces a better translation (which is of course still awful), but I have a feeling that the one in question was made by an earlier version of Google Translate as well.
