I haven't downloaded the torrent (and won't download it), but looking at the kat link, something weird is going on here. It says the torrent was uploaded and last updated 5 years ago in the video category of the site? Ubuntu 20.04 was released in, well, April of 2020. Unless I'm missing something that torrent can't possibly be Ubuntu 20.04, but it sure lines up that it could be Rebirth (2016) after all.
I downloaded the torrent from KAT and confirmed that the filename and hash match the Ubuntu torrent. It appears that some metadata on that site is incorrect.
If someone were to intentionally publish indexes that associate pirate titles with non-pirate SHAs, I imagine they’d be able to cause a lot of trouble for the DMCA takedown industry.
Who knows, maybe that's exactly what happened here. Could be a vigilante trolling the copyright trolls. (Not all copyright firms are necessarily trolls. The ones that recklessly automate things so heavily that they'd make this mistake probably are, though.)
Worked perfectly on Firefox 88.0.1 on Windows. Great to know despite my efforts to balance privacy and anonymity, there is another metric that I'm unique in. Fingerprinting is just insidious.
Browsing in a VM is really one of the only safe ways to go on the modern web for privacy. So many sites break without JS, and having it enabled is an accident waiting to happen.
When you need privacy, always browse in a VM or a Tails boot.
Even in a VM you have to carefully ensure that memory deduplication is disabled, and/or some form of mitigation against Rowhammer is in place. Else you will be vulnerable to Flip Feng Shui cross-VM attacks.
This won't work against fingerprinting unless you change the underlying hardware and / or external IP too when stating a new VM. If you don't have a unique external IP per VM you might as well not bother. It is like trying to hide from the police by changing clothes and cutting your hair but stil hold the same huge sign with your name and address in your hands.
Since this is about fingerprinting and not hiding your identity I'm not sure this will help. If you use a public VPN you are removing some data points from the fingerprint but adding a huge new one. After all fingerprinting is about blending in and being like the average user. Adding a few privacy extensions and a VPN and you are much easier to recognise.
Using a query like [Einstein fraud] or whatever is going to get you crap results. Try something like [Mileva Marić] instead to get results from mainstream sources like SA[1]. And obviously those sources aren't going to throw words like "fraud" around, but you don't even have to read between the lines to see my claim is plausible if not entirely justified. It's yet more evidence that women in STEM have been erased by men taking credit for their work.
Not the person you are replying to, but on Firefox 75 player.vimeo.com is requesting WebVR permissions on gentle.app upon first load.
Also just quickly I want to say I love the idea and intentions behind Gentle! I haven't had a chance to play around with it too much yet but it really is a pretty app too.
Thanks for the info! I guess it also only happens if you have some VR device setup. Sorry for the trouble with that. I'll swap out the vimeo embed soon since that sounds like annoying and unnerving behavior.
I can't even tell you how much fun my friends and I are having with this game right now. The ability to do anything in the game (so long as the AI understands it) is just incredible. Thank you for sharing this!
