Author here, thanks! I just thought it was fun to make kind of a polyglot shell script-blog post :D

"yeah but you could serve a different page with the curl UA"

ok, then you just change about:config?

I really do not like Google as a company, but this is one of those cases where I agree with them. It was always clear that websites could track you in incognito mode. Somehow people thinking that Google is not a website that can do that does not make it Google's fault. You still have to accept Google's cookie banner when opening the site in incognito, giving another indication they track you.

Let me rephrase: > just don't make a unnecessarily complex web app, so it will be fast

Lots of apps include features that were never really asked for by the customer, but are included because it was easier for the developer.

I think minification should be done on another layer: HTTP compression and HTTP parallelization and that kind of stuff. And just don't make a complex web app, so it will be fast.

A lot of these things also sounds like autism.

Funny how Vodafone manages to write an entire article about a femtocell they built without using that word a single time.

> A survey conducted in the 1990s revealed some extraordinary facts: 90% of all American CEOs believed that selling a new product without advertisements would be impossible; 85% were convinced that advertisements persuade people into buying things they don’t need, and 51% — a majority — believed that advertisements persuaded people into buying things they don’t even want.¹

Uhh. So, this point to a book called Less is More — How Degrowth Will Save the World. In that book this statement is indeed made, and as a source it points to "Andre Gorz, Capitalism, Socialism, Ecology, trans. Chris Turner (London: Verso, 1994).". But in that book I can't find any reference to it. Was is completely made up?

No, because Afghanistan is not a member of the Council of Europe and has no jurisdiction there.

I wish I had it! I think I would have to travel to some physical German archive to lookup old magazines... Or maybe Apple itself has the original digital version in their archives.
