Approximately no one honours it.
I found this comment interesting:The reality behind this absurd design is more interesting: the alleged "standard" had never been anything more than a publicity stunt orchestrated by Google and their (at that time) lapdog Mozilla. The reason why they did that was to block a competing DNT mechanism, proposed by Microsoft as a W3C standard. Microsoft's design stopped your browser from connecting to a tracker site completely. It didn't rely on the tracker's good will and honesty; it was a pro-consumer, not pro-ad industry solution.

Google realized the danger, and proposed a different mechanism (the current "standard"). Via their membership in the Digital Advertising Alliance and other ad industry groups (participants in the W3C's standardization commitee), they forced it through, with great fanfare, thus blocking the consumer-friendly alternative.
The ridiculousness of the design was obvious at the time. Just a few things: it's impossible to enforce your settings against a non-cooperating site. It's impossible to even confirm whether your request is being honored. There's no mechanism for a site to notify you in advance that it won't respect the DNT header. Add the fact that it's opt-out (leaving the less-technical majority of users unprotected by default), and it's pretty clear who the "standard" was for - hint: it was not for consumers.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -
2018-10-17 at 3:41 PM UTC in I'm so glad I bullied malice into killing himself
Originally posted by Technologist What’s funny is people are arguing over who caused someone’s possible suicide, like it’s a badge of honor.
No one here knows for sure if he even killed himself.
But this is interesting.
What a sad life someone must have if they would be proud of causing someone they've never met, only interacting online, to off themselves.There's no certainty, and I've not been able to find out anything, that he actually did go through with it, but I believe he did. I don't think Malice would troll on that. If he didn't, then he just left the forum, and the online profiles he used for good, starting over.
Malice's ass hairs had more value than anything you, sploo, are worth, ever will be, or anything you've ever done or could do at your best. You're the lowest of the low, and while you think you're some super genius who huffs raid for lulz, Malice really was intelligent, miles more intelligent than you could ever hope to come close to.
You know, I miss Malice a lot, and while he probably doesn't have much more than a few people here, and his immediate family, he sure has more people that miss, and mourn his passing than you will when you finally die (hopefully in a fire).The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -
2018-10-17 at 1:22 PM UTC in Localized Legendarium: Sophie's mythos focus thread.Mythology is a fascinating subject I love the stories, they're rich and epic and grants us a glimpse at religion before monotheism. I think it's interesting that before Christianity, Europe had a wide variety of polytheistic religions and belief-systems. The Celts had their own polytheistic religion as did the Germanic and Nordic peoples. The relationship between the Nordic and Germanic pantheons are a lot like the relationship between the ancient Greek and Roman ones.
Conventional wisdom would say that the Gods Odin and Thor and the Aesir and such were purely a Scandinavian belief-system related to the vikings. However, Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Germany, The Netherlands and Flanders, followed the same pantheon. When the proto-germanic peoples and language split off into proto-Norse and old Germanic, the language changed but the Gods didn't. For instance, Odin is called Wotan in the Germanic tongues, which includes Dutch. Since this is the localized legendarium i would like to talk about the ancient gods and peoples that believed in them in my neck of the woods. Interestingly enough us Dutch had a special Goddess that does not particularly occur in the Pantheon of my kinfolk, however, veneration of this Goddess became somewhat widespread through the regions around Holland and the North Sea. Originating from here, belief and worship traveled as far afield as regions in Germany, France and she may have also be worshipped in some parts of England.
Historically and traditionally the Dutch have always been interested in trade, especially by sea, due in large part because of our access to the North Sea not only at the coast but via the Rhine as well. As such I think that is one of the main reasons my ancestors had a need for a Sea Goddess. Her name as our archeological records indicate is: Nehalennia, which is a lovely name in my opinion, it sounds like it came from Latin but actually linguists have found the origins of the name to come from the Celtic and proto-Germanic words Nehwa, which means "close to" and halen for "sea", ne, "on, at". With the suffix "ja" to indicate a feminine noun. Thus, her name means "She who is at the sea". She is considered to be a type of mother Goddess, however her portfolio and spheres of influence include trade, travel, the sea, the cultivation and the conservation of plants, fertility, and sometimes even beauty.
Interestingly enough she seems to take traits from the more well-known Nordic/Germanic deities, Freyr, Freya, and Nerthus. Her character is most likely based on an amalgamation of those, but with a special affinity for the Sea and Trade.
Archeological research has found three great temples dedicated to her in what is currently the Dutch province of Zeeland. Less grand sanctuaries and shrines dedicated to her have been found all over the Eastern Scheldt, Rhine area and coastal regions.
She is usually depicted, accompanied by a ship, apples and a dog.
Occasionally she is also depicted with special loves of bread known as "Duivekater". Which is a sacrificial food. From what i understand Duivekater was considered a worthy offering and Nehalennia did not demand human or animal sacrifice.
Well i hope you found that interesting. If you did let me know, if you didn't, fair enough and let me know what you disliked. Also, if you are interested in Mythology, please tell me about your favorite Pantheon, God, or Goddesses. As an aside, i find Irish Mythology to be quite fascinating as well, and if you know a bit about it, i'd love to read your thoughts on it.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

2018-10-16 at 7:43 PM UTC in I'm so glad I bullied malice into killing himselfMalice killed himself because he was brown and never went outside. Typing mean things to someone incapable of empathy over the internet had nothing to do with it and I don't recall you even cyberbullying him. You just want validation for your basement dwelling fake weed and starter fluid huffing bubble yum life. You have no power over anything. Post screenshots of you successfully cyber bullying him or forever remain a victimThe following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire!

Originally posted by Jiggaboo_Johnson That assumes they are vastly advanced, they might not be, they might only be 2000yrs ahead technologically which biologically is nothing. We could still pose a threat, a gun is just as capable of killing a Zeta Reticulan as it is a squirrel.
Think about this. How difficult would it be for human travel to mars? Or the edge of our solar system?
Now consider that no evidence of life has been observed in any of the closest systems like beta Centari. There are aliens but they exist in the unobservable universe
The technology it would take for any form of life to find/reach us is beyond our comprehension. Sci Fi doesn't come anywhere close to the true complexity.
If we ever saw Aliens most people would think it's the biblical apocalypse and worship them like God's. Some people even think that all of religion is based off a chance encounter with aliens at the beginning of human civilization.
That's why they don't reveal themselves, we would kill eachother and nuke the planet in mass hysteria before they could even landThe following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

Solvetated...Has anyone a gyst, as to why I would use this word?
Has anyone a better word, be it phrase, that they would like to inject into this conversation.
Moving on towards the subject of what I've coined: Etiquette of Kinetics.
"h-have y-you ever seen a TNR?" No, you haven't. The only etiquette of encompassing T.N.R. you learned, happenstance, was how to take a DICK in the ass, or HOW To Pull a Needle Out of Your Arm. Great.
Etiquette of Kinetics is an evoking topic, as I myself am aspired by what we do see with our perspective in both the conscious and unconscious hours of one's life. What we do not see, in which, I often am reminded of the Goldfield Theory, we can capture with Robotics. A classical question on many people's mind, which arose such a clatter;
Can I control an object with my mind? Moreso, Can I influence the object with my mind, from my emotions?
How do I control that energy? Does my focused mind have the potential to create depictions inside of my head, which could form a postulate to ask the question, "Are we interrelating with any micro (and/or) macro life forms as we photosynthesize?"
The answer is quite simple: Yes. Yourself.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -
