Pretty sure it’s always been upfront with that it still tracks you? I always thought of it as a “don’t store history and cookies locally” thing and nothing more. Maybe I read that disclaimer with more cynicism than most?

It’s also a volume thing. By the time I reach a reddit comment thread what I wanted to say has already been said, and if I say it again my comment will drown in a sea of heavily upvoted comments. On lemmy you can be several days late to the party and still get both upvotes and responses.

Yeah, that’s what I was implying, just didn’t want to write a whole novel about it.

Using a file system is much less bad than dynamically allocating memory, at least as long as you keep a predefined set of files.

I have just the thing for you! Ever heard of binary XML?

Most of the configuration I’ve done in vim is to remove whatever someone else did. Like I log in as root on a server and someone put set number in /root/.vimrc. Like having the line number in the bottom right wasn’t enough for you, you need to waste three columns to show numbers for every line on the screen, and now I can’t copy and paste from vim without having to delete three columns from every line? NO.
