Chinkm00t please do this
And don't forget Solus

You know how easy it is to fake a useragent string?
Also all linux users will show up as "linux" only.

Then we could detect phoneposters

Great. Another month late update from FLOENS.

>>61067507
>implying winfags would bother

>>61067164
Only if they are chooseable, like the /pol/ flags. User agents are too easy to fake

replace some of those with android and ios

phoneposter here desu

Poorfags would have to spoof user agent to get the macOS flag

>>61067507
Winfags from /v/ and phone posters are dumb fuck retard faggots who would find that too difficult.

people can spoof their useragent you know for example my useragent only has "Cynthia 1.0"

brilliant!
how would it be implemented though?
whether you're running gentoo, slack, or debian... the browser will only pick up the GNU/Linux part

>>61067712
Those are probably Debian fags pretending to use Gentoo or customized TempleOS by spoofing the user-agent.

>>61067716
Yeah, that as well.

>>61067164
unironically a good idea

>>61067712
Can you even post from temple OS?

How would you implement that?

>>61068001
useragent. but as others said, not very accurate.

>>61067330
The open cans of monster are what really does it for me in this pic

>>61068001
User-agent.
But that won't be much reliable though...

>>61067712
>templeos
>implying

>>61067987
>>61068030
It's possible, but most people would be using spoof.

>>61068043
>TempleOS deliberately has no network support.
?

>>61067164
Whole system flags but at first would be just a hint of the OS, them if you click on it, would show the whole system, imagine all the ad hominem and soft bans we whould see.

>>61068018

The spaghetti mess of icons on the desktop also makes the picture.

>>61068057
As far as I know, it implements a serial driver that can be modified to access the internet in a VM and using another external program.

There was a PoC a couple of months ago, and it works.

>>61067486
>stop doing things I don't like
Faggot nigger

>>61067164
i cycle through like 8 useragents every 5min, so good luck with the flags

>>61067811
This is probably true

>>61068077
>spaghetti mess of icons
Please stop using this word

>>61068127
Might as well make the user pick his flag (just like /pol/ and his meme flags) when it's not known.

>>61067164
make it happen

if i wake up tomorrow and see this shit has been implemented, i'll piss myself in laughter
looking up BSD useragents so i can get the blowfish and beastie

>>61067512
ha

>>61068084
>Faggot nigger
that's insensitive to gays and black people

>>61067820
Mobile users are probably more valuable, since they can be tracked, folded, spindled, and mutilated more easily.

It sounds amazing!

>otism
you're an otist dude

http useragent is easy to spoof but there is such a thing as:
https://developer.mozilla.org/pl/docs/Web/API/Navigator/appVersion
i'm personally using spoofing addon to pretend i'm shitposting from chrome instead of iridium browser and this property shows iridium

>But muh user agent sppofing
And you cant run a proxy to fuck with country flags?

>>61068753
and pay for passes
so LMAO desktop user ban inc before a mobile one

>>61067164
The shitposting would be 10 times worse than it already is.

The only flag we need is phoneposter so we know who to ignore.

>>61067164
Some of us change our user agent so we can watch Netflix in 4k

>>61067164
OS and CPU and GPU flags...

>>61068057
I swear there was a fork with network support

>>61067164
Like the OS you correctly post from?
I don't know if that would tell much, most people here run several operating systems and are proficient in them all.

>>61070329
>most people here run several operating systems
I really doubt it

>>61067164
>hey here's how you change your os flag
>os flags now used as status symbols rather than its intentional use

>>61070333
I do. 4 operating systems to be exact.

/tech/ just lets users choose their own flags (like how /pol/ does now)

this could be an idea

>>61070860
You are not most people.

>>61067164
you mean, making the site more engaging and entertaining and overall caring about the users? fuck out of here with your crazy ideas

>>61067827
says Windows 7 for me

I'm using Fedora 25 lol

>>61069449
UA spoofing is way more trivial than using (unblocked) proxies

>>61068017
>>61068021
That's what I thought too, it's so easy to fake though

>>61070985
i run 3 im sure this thread could hit max with only people commenting similar.

>>61067164
So the NSA can track users with rare oses easier?

>>61067724
that'd kinda enough for /g/.

>>61071727
pretty sure they already have access to the 4chan database

>>61067330
why do people even keep the boxes holy shit
they're just packaging

>>61067164
Make it yourself.

https://github.com/minexew/Shrine

Shrine is a TempleOS distribution that aims to be more modern & approachable.

Shrine aims to improve upon TempleOS in several aspects:

Approachability: Shrine ships with Lambda Shell, a more traditional Unix-like command interpreter
Connectivity: TCP/IP stack! Internet access!
Software access: Shrine includes a package downloader
Versatility: unlike stock TempleOS, Shrine requires only 64MB RAM, making it feasible for cloud micro-instances and similar setups (note: this is planned, but currently not true)

Software included in Shrine:

Mfa (minimalist file access)
Lsh (Lambda Shell)
Pkg (package downloader)
Wget

>>61071727
>>61071740

yeah and this is easily spoofable thru the referer

>>61071914
that's good, anyone using a phone or windows should be given the cold shoulder

>>61071940
I agree, but any more of that would make any kind of reasonable discussion (which is already extremely difficult) totally impossible. It would turn /g/ into /trash2/ imo.

>>61071953

we had this discussion in the past with flags as most ppl browsing /g/ are from india, user identifiers on this board don't add anything relevant to the discussion because the perspective of an OS or origin isn't needed and creates boundaries and making anon less anon on /g/ is ironic

>>61067330
>Three mouses
Why?

>>61071940
What a retard, Linux started as a phone OS

>>61067682
I would totally fake a MacOS agent to piss people off.

>>61067164
Then, GNU/Linux threads would be filled with the shitposting windows user symbols that read one man page we all know it is populated by.

>>61067958
Phone users usually are barely literate. You expect them to type in a box?

>>61067164
We need IDs too

>>61071746

Some products are heavily priced due to their packaging

So yeah, makes sense to keep them

Has anyone actually submitted this suggestion yet? Get to it you lazy faggots.

Bump for flags
