I don’t understand how/why this got so popular out of nowhere… the same solution has already existed for years in the form of haproxy-protection and a couple others… but nobody seems to care about those.

Extensions themselves are also frowned upon by privacy advocates because anything that modifies or restricts the DOM/javascript/etc. can itself be detected and used as yet another data point to identify someone.

No anti-fingerprinting method currently in use can evade creepjs to my knowledge. And that EFF site has its own issues… it only tests uniqueness across other visitors the site has seen before, and not all possible combinations of data points.

not a single mention of notcurses-demo

You have even less rights at border crossings if you are not a citizen and have not technically entered the country through immigration yet… basically the Constitution does not even apply:

It has been ruled by SCOTUS that the Constitution specifically does not apply at border entry to non-citizens:

the Constitution does not grant aliens any protections when trying to enter the United States.

https://constitution.congress.gov/browse/essay/artI-S8-C18-8-7-3/ALDE_00001263/[‘article’, ‘14’]

an alien “on the threshold of initial entry stands on a different footing” because he or she is theoretically outside the United States and typically beyond the veil of constitutional protection.

Although a lawfully resident alien may not captiously be deprived of his constitutional rights [to due process], the alien in this case is an entrant alien or “assimilated to that status” for constitutional purposes.

The Attorney General therefore may exclude this alien without a hearing, as authorized by the emergency regulations promulgated pursuant to the Passport Act, and need not disclose the evidence upon which that determination rests.

How do you put someone in prison who has not entered your country yet?

And I thought it was already ruled that they can’t hold someone for that long just for not giving up a password at the border?

That and if you go on the gnome forums, their attitude IMO seems openly hostile to… almost everything and everyone.

tbf I’ll take Dale Gribble level conspiracy theories over Linus’ bad attitude any day.

They actually do. To quote a major FOSS developer, “popularity is not a project goal.”

Reminds me of early punk rockers that get upset when their tiny little nobody band that fits in their back pocket, gets too big to fit in their pocket anymore. Some might call it “selling out.”
