  • you had to do one search to find most of what you’ve said is false

    Underoccupied developments in China are mostly unoccupied newly built property developments in China, and frequently referred to as “ghost cities” or ghost towns. The phenomenon was claimed and recorded as early as 2009 by Al Jazeera’s Melissa Chan and subsequently reported by news media over the decades.[1][2][3][4] Although a feature of discourse on the Chinese economy and urbanization in China in the 2010s, many developments that were initially criticized as “ghost cities” in China have since become occupied and are now functioning cities.[5][6][7][8]

    China’s government has set a goal to raise the nation’s urbanization rate to around 75% by 2035, which may require the construction of an estimated 40 to 50 million new housing units to accommodate this shift.[9] Some observers argue that China’s so-called “ghost cities” are better understood as ambitious urbanization projects built ahead of demand.

    they don’t have “ghost cities” they have something called planned economy. in a planned economy the state plans to improve the lives of the proletariat. so essentially they are creating house for people to live instead of them being used for upping some numbers on a spreadsheet.


  • this is one thing, do you understand how limiting it would make the browser? its not just window size, this is one example. and afaik if you spoof your window size you can break rendering of pages. again, you’re comprimising everyday usage. im not saying there isn’t a way at all, maybe there is, but it’s not some trivial thing, ive followed arkenfox for quite a few years and they’ve been saying the same. the amount of time it takes to make a redesign is nothing to making an unfingerprintable browser. if that’s even a thing. and remember that you cant spoof everything.






  • yes, tor uses that feature to make all users look the same, if you resize a bit your tor window that’s it. you can be identified. for fingerprinting to work every browser would need to look the same. this means no extensions, no difference in window size, same settings, etc. do you think that’s actually feasible for an everyday browser? really?
