Decided to test some browser fingerprinting this morning via the Cover Your Tracks tool by @eff. @brave, @librewolf, and (no surprise) @torproject all performed (or appeard to perform) better than @mullvadnet.

@Deckweiss Thanks! Can't say I fully understand the analysis (yet), but it seems very thorough. Time to dig into the documentation.

@freemo It's a time-honored tradition to ridicule Presidential gaffes. Biden, for all his many flaws, is hardly the first or worst.

You piqued my curiosity, though: What is the "alt left?" I mean, I now there were many on the right back in 2016 casting about for a way to paint the left with the same brush as the "alt right" painted itself, and some of them settled on "alt left," but has the term ever stuck and/or had any non-arbitrary meaning? After all, the apple hasn't fallen far from the anti-fascist apple tree that grew up in the early-mid 20th, so it's hard to conceive of it as "alt" in any meaningful way.

@freemo Call me simple, but to me a "gaffe" is really nothing more than what Merriam-Webster says it is -- i.e., a social or diplomatic blunder or noticeable mistake. Biden's flub in that video certainly falls into that category. I just choose not to take it farther than that.

As for alt left, I understand that it's aimed generically at the far (or extremist) left. I simply wondered if you had something more meaningful in mind. I personally don't find it helpful because it can be slapped on any leftist who happens to rub someone the wrong way.
