Same for me. I also have ClearURLs, Facebook container, and use Multi-account containers to isolate specific sites.

The statement about people trust corporations, not people is valid; that’s why I stopped using the “don’t have doors” and “let me see your phone” argument because people will think it’s different in that you personally know them, instead of some faceless corporation collecting your data.

It got me thinking of a better example, and the one I came up with is baby monitors and home/door cctv cameras. A lot of companies providing those services lack any kind of security in that anyone can potentially see your camera live feed on the internet. Not that anyone’s watching, but someone could if they wanted. So if you’re not hiding anything, would you be fine that your baby monitor can potentially be used for whatever reason even though no one in your social circle can’t “see” it?

Account switching finally! Thanks for all your hard work!

AFAIK kbin doesn’t have an API yet, so a 3rd party app isn’t possible until that’s available.

Protonmail’s interface and mobile app is more refined and faster than Tutanota’s, and PM has more features on their free tier than what Tutanota provides on their free tier. Having said that, both are great email providers. I have accounts on both but I tend to use PM more at this point in time.

I feel like this will just accelerate warming even more, just even more concentrated. You’re basically making smaller greenhouse effect situations instead of the entire planet.

It’s the first step of installation, making a bootable usb/CD. Most non-technical people can’t be arsed to create a bootable drive, then go into the bios boot settings to run it. I haven’t used Windows in a long time so I don’t know how it’s installed these days, but the fact that it comes installed out-of-the-box when people buy a computer lets them skip the first and biggest step to running linux, which is getting it installed in the first place.

Distros have come a long way that a Windows user trying Linux Mint can hit the ground running. It’s no longer about the learning curve for USING linux, it’s INSTALLING linux that’s the problem.

Sugar, especially in the US where it’s literally added into everything. What’s worse is the alternative (substitutes like aspartame) might also be a candidate and we just don’t know it yet because enough time hasn’t passed to study the long term effects. I try to take stevia as much as possible because it’s more “natural”, but only a few sugar-free products use it over aspartame. I read recently the WHO still considers aspartame as a carcinogen, but only in excessive amounts, like several glasses of soda a day.

Maybe Privacy Badger can get on this. I believe they block trackers like facebook by replacing widgets and other stuff that are embedded on pages. Not sure how they can do that for individual unknown trackers though.

Yeah, everything has to be a visual aid, when it’s easier to just read one page of instructions.

This is great for making your feed more bearable. The only issue is it will also make the actual clickbait videos with trash content look legit, therefore making it hard to avoid them.

Same with Mastodon. It’s hilarious how when there’s no algorithm to push content to you, it’s mostly furries and gay porn that show up. lol

Cool! Thanks a lot! I’ll try this out later.

This might be a good option for me. Do you have to log on to your account to install the profile or can do without?

This, and reading comprehension.

It’s more expensive to execute a person on death row than to keep them imprisoned for life.

Is faster. I don’t care about the extra bells and whistles, and I want a straightforward functioning system that allows me to do what I need to do. I also like that I can customize my desktop experience to my heart’s desires. I can literally change the way my system looks if I get bored of it. Most importantly, the lack of tracking/telemetry and being a smaller target on the web.

Could browser extensions such as Privacy Badger have prevented this? I know PB replaced social media icons and widgets on websites.

Cool, I didn’t know about this. Good bot.

Tutanota is ok. It’s not as mature as Protonmail yet, but they are on their way there.
