Momentum of where friends and family are.

It's nice to be able to say "well they're not worth talking to then", but at some point I need to be able to reach my parents so they can babysit my daughter. Or be able to know that family will be in town and expecting me to be available. Or be able to have any way of knowing what life events are happening to my loved ones without having to wait for it to be brought up in casual conversation months later as if I should already know.

My extended family and friends do a poor job communicating on a good day. If I try to add another hurdle, I'm not the one who wins that fight.

You can block specific posters and communities, but so far keyword filtering is only possible through specific phone apps.

I think an instance admin was working on something for doing that natively though.

If you take nothing else from this thread: That's not "just autism".

And the goal of working with a professional wouldn't be to "delete your autism" like holy shit lmao that is so off base I would think you were a shitposter if I hadn't met other people like you before.

There are dangerous thought patterns, shit that does nothing but erode your trust in the existence of an external reality. I don't have the proper words to describe the level of danger to yourself and those around you that you can cause if you don't believe foundational aspects of external reality.

This is really something you need to discuss with professionals.

Buddy, given your relatively basic questions and how you're posting to every single fucking vaguely relared community, I would highly suggest you do some studying on just... basic computer concepts and how to use them. Not sure what resources are out there anymore, but maybe some basic "these are the parts of a computer, these are programs and how they work" stuff from the 90s. They used to do middle school classes on how to properly use google and other seaech engines to find trustworthy information for citing in research papers. I seriously suggest you start there.

Then, after you understand the basics maybe you start trying to understand how all of that works in regards to security and the concept of trust in the software you install and run.

Spoiler alert: Computers are not designed with any sort of "zero trust" architecture like you seem to be shocked that they don't have. Things are not sandboxed, segmented, or otherwise prevented from accessing other stuff as a general rule.

This is why one of the bare minimum basics is "don't run anything you don't trust".

Someone who has back to back meetings scheduled for more than half their work day.

Don't forget "styrofoam walls painted to look like tunnels". Fucking looney tunes.

If someone's a piece of shit, whatever corporate mannerisms they do or don't pick up are not going to be what makes or breaks the fact they're a shit person.

Most still are/can be. Enough that I find it hard to believe people are missing out without podcasts through these paid services.

You might have better results working with a doctor and getting perscriptions for the mind altering drugs that assist you.

Trying to trust your own brain to self assess what works and doesn't while actively messing with its chemistry it uses to do that assessment... it can work, but it's definitely choosing to do it on hard mode.

If you unironically have trouble believing in the persistance of things outside of your own immediate senses, please go talk with your therapist more.

That's kind of base level underpinnings of your existence and how you interact with the rest of the world shit.

Harsh question: Do you have a real need to prevent this data from being collected, or are you investigating just for ~~funsies~~ best practice advice? There are a lot of posts like this where people overestimate the threat model they have and insist on needing to block things that are nearly impossible to, or at least have significant tradeoffs like you are dealing with now.

Javascript is also not the only source that sites can use for these pieces of info from your machine. Local time in particular can be estimated by looking up the rough location of your IP address then matching to a time zone.

Anyway.

I would assume you could technically fork localCDN (replaces remote javascript libraries with local copies) and then manually edit the local javascript library copies to remove the calls you are concerned about.

There's also options like uBlock Origin's methods of only whitelisting specific scripts. Much more flexible than NoScript. You can block scripts that are third party and only allow site specific ones fairly easily, without digging deep into the settings.

Bear in mind that your specific combination of installed extensions can also be a unique identifier though.

Education would be more effective than complaining.

As a straight, isn't all this is missing for "topping" a strap-on? As in the "top" is usually doing the penetrating?
