This alone doen’t make you a Nazi, but that’s still a terrible course of action.
A wise man once said…
Calling out Musk and his actions, and avoiding the company that he owns and control, are the least one can do given all the trouble he’s causing, or trying to cause.
Several companies sell electric vehicles, and unlike Tesla, most aren’t owned by a Nazi (sympathiser).
No. This is no help if YouTube blocks your IP range. And it’s not a podcast feed.
Yes, but many YouTube channels don’t have a RSS podcast equivalent. YouTube is somewhat of a walled garden, like Spotify is.
I don’t know. My ISP doesn’t know. And I won’t bother interacting with Google’s non-existing support.
My solution is moving away from YouTube whenever possible, for instance subscripting to podcast instead when a creator has a podcast with the same content.
YouTube has blocked a bunch of IP ranges, including residential ones, forcing people to use an account to watch videos. So self-hosting isn’t an option for everyone.
Privacy Badger focus on blocking trackers. uBlock origin blocks all kind of things Ads,Trackers,etc and so it have a higher risk of breaking sites.
Yes, they’re mostly redundant. Happy uBlock Origin users should probably keep using just uBlock. People who don’t use uBlock to avoid breaking websites, or just want to block trackers, should use Privacy Badger.
I strongly recommended installing EFF’s Privacy Badger on your and your relatives browsers.
This stops many trackers, and causes less side effects and less breakages than most filters (unlock et all).
This might also apply to many news article for software vulnerabilities.
If it’s not a 0day, a patch is already available. So users shouldn’t do anything particular if there’s (semi)automatic update, which is the case for Win, iOS, and many Linux distributions.
It’s worth people’s attention if it’s a critical 0day where user need to mitigate manually, or if users need to update manually due to lack of auto update.
You should know when and how you are being tracked, and you should have an easy-button to say thanks, but no thanks.
Opt-out!? That’s not even close to being a good solution.
Your data should not be collected, and you should not be tracked, UNLESS you agree yo it, ie opt-in, AND data collection is proportional/appropriate for the stated goal.
That’s the spirit of GDPR.
Is there a server component, or is everything running in the browser?
The mobile standard setter, GSMA, and Google have said encryption will be coming to RCS, but there’s no firm date yet.
GSMA, please don’t come up with yet another poorly designed encryption tandard.
The IETF is already working on Messaging Layer Security (MLS), please work with IETF and adopt MLS. IETF have more experience and do a good job at designing secure protocols. And multiple organisations and services are already working on adapting MLS (Mozilla, Google, Matrix, Wire, …)
As an alternative to newspaper and magazine subscriptions, go to your local library’s (website).
My library card allows me to access a bunch of newspaper and magazines online, and cost me just a very low yearly fee.
He’s also giving more material to the CoC board by posting this. He’s free to do it but it’s not helping.
I wish he would avoid commenting and stay away from the drama, until he hears from the board if there’s any complaint and what it is.
Is this for real?
Telling your contacts not to use Google nor Meta/Facebook. If everyone you email use gmail, then Google has all your emails.
This isn’t a basic copy of a whole file. This is creating a new file from a portion of an existing file.
Are there downsides to using reflinks, like alignment and read performance issues?
Compatibility shouldn’t be an issue, ie it should be relatively simple and safe to have a fallback that copy when reflink isn’t available.
Then someone will write an utility that automatically sets timezone using geoclue location data.
It would be fair to compare browsers without adding extensions, with default settings.
This would show which browser have the best security and privacy out of the box. Also, the comparison would be practically impossible otherwise.
Most people use defaults, and I suspect a large portion of users install no extension, unless maybe if a tech-savy relative adds an adblocker.
Like how Stephen Colbert setup his own SuperPac on air, showing how many ridiculous and unethical things are legal with US’ current campaign finance laws.
