how well is modern poisoning holding up?
What about appealing to ethics, i.e. posting messages about how a poor catgirl ended up on the street because AI took her job? To make AI refuse to reply due to ethical concerns?

Sadly, touching the user-agent header more or less instantly makes you uniquely identifiable.
Browser fingerprinting works best against people with unique headers. There's probably millions of people using an untouched safari on iPhone. Once you touch your user-agent header, you're likely the only person in the world with that fingerprint.
If your headers are new every time then it is very difficult to figure out who is who.

/usr -> Program Files (hello spaces my old friends, you've come to break my apps again)
/var -> ProgramData (but no spaces here)
/home -> Documents and Settings
/etc -> Control PanelSpaces break things only in Lnux; Mac and Windows support them since beginning. Why should we write without spaces as if we were in 5th century?

1. Yes, I have, if you re-read my comment.
2. I don't want to fight extreme positions which I did not make. Read this:

I didn't say paths have to have spaces, etc. Just be reasonable and <<use full words in the year of our lord 2025>>.
What's wrong with spaces? Macs support them since 80s. The only problem with spaces is caused by *nix, *nix shells, basically by Linux.

That would mean all those values are in the clear in the process table. You couldn’t do a “ps” without exposing them.
You can also store settings in configuration files.

Looking further
* uBlock Origin and Lite have it as an option under Filter List > Privacy > Block Outsider Intrusion into LAN
* Brave prevents it, tested with Aggressively block Trackers and Ads.
Why do you need a heavyweight extension to block sites from scanning your local network? Ridiculous.
Also I wonder if this protection is available only with old extension manifest version or new network request hooks API also supports it.
> compilers (like Rust compiler) allow running arbitrary code without any warning.
It's safe to assume that the Rust compiler (like any compiler built on top of LLVM) has arbitrary code execution vulnerabilities, but as an intended feature I think this only exists in cargo, the popular/official build system, not rustc, the compiler.
Rust has "procedural macros" which means executing arbitrary code during compilation: https://doc.rust-lang.org/reference/procedural-macros.html

Knockout.js may be off the radar these days, but has robust handling for this.
Still the best framework I've ever worked with.
The downside of knockout was that it used proxies for change tracking, and you had to create those proxies manually, so you cannot have an object with a Number property, you had to have an object with a proxy function as a property.

So Google is bringing the deprecation treadmill to the web, yay!
Yegge called it:

So drop your fucking plans and go start digging through our shitty documentation, begging for scraps on forums, and oh by the way, our new shit is COMPLETELY different from the old shit, because well, we fucked that design up pretty bad, heh, but hey, that’s YOUR problem, not our problem.

But if you live in a capitalist country with a free market, several competitors should pop out and suggest migrating your system into their cloud for free, shouldn't they? No way capitalist overlooks an unoccupied market niche.

I think you're confusing throughput with latency.
You're right nobody processes a million DOM nodes with XSLT in a browser, but you're wrong about everything else: WASM has a huge startup cost.
Consider applying stylesheet properties: XSLT knows exactly how to lay things out so it can put all of the stylesheet properties directly on the element. Pre-rendered HTML would be huge. CSS is slow. XSLT gets you direct-attach, small-payload, and low-latency display.
That's even a rarer case, embedding CSS rules into XSLT template (if I understood you correctly), I never heard of it. I know that CSS is sometimes embedded into HTML though.
