So you mean to say the device made by the company known for harvesting userdata for advertising purposes… puts you at risk of being served more ads? Gee… who’d have seen that coming. Malicious or not, it’s not really all that surprising.

I’m not sure what I expected, but now I feel like I have to go mow a lawn sippin’ on lean.

Why though? Why go through the trouble for zero benefit? Not like you’re going to get the support contract that’s tied to these paid, enterprise-level versions.

Meh, more inane rules that result in random bans for silly reasons. I mean hey, you do you, but dont expect the general public wandering in from various wide feeds such as the equivalent of all/new to know, let alone respect those rules.

See that’s where I made my mistake. I forgot that people are much more invested in others’ lives, rather than the events that occur around them. My bad, you’re right. It’s vital that we know what’s going on in Justin Timberlake’s life at all times.

How can the support for Not Sure be so low? He’s the smartest man to exist, and he solved the water crisis!

At least it’s not one of those stupid “reaction face” thumbnails. A clickbait title is easy enough to parse as “not worth my time” but those punchable face thumbnails? Fuck me, the person that started that trend needs to find the nearest running belt sander and start licking.

No real harm, but it’s one more account to manage/worry about.

Flipside is that relying on a singular account is also bad, as now it’s a single point of failure in regards to security.

Oh boohoo, you make 6 figures and have to work some weekends. Get over yourselves or better yet, get a job outside of a cubicle. Every job is going to have it’s good aspects and shitty aspects.

So would you rather work weekends, or up on a roof in the Florida sun?

Hilarious that “cracker” is used in a derogatory manner. Especially given it’s origins.

This AI debate is hilarious. Especially from a privacy standpoint, because if anyone were all that concerned about their privacy, they wouldn’t be posting sensitive stuff to things they don’t control, if at all.

Add to that society trends towards an increasing population, societal pressure that frowns on any talk of how to stabilize or even decrease the population, and our ever increasing reliance on various black boxes that we dont even begin to understand, and you can see we’re heading in a direction that goes against privacy whether we want it or not.

Easier to encourage people to make the conscious effort to not post what they dont want public than it is to change all the platforms involved.

After the Beans sold out to corporatize and join the “cheap shit from overseas” party, their name has lost a lot of meaning. It’s good to see the OG family being philanthropic, but that doesn’t negate them selling out.

“Prominent figures” - artificially manufactured entertainers are prominent figures in terms of news?

Oh man, good thing they’re fixing this. The camera being disabled means that there was absolutely zero way to reverse in a safe manner. Such a critical component of vehicles should absolutely get addressed as soon as possible! If you’re parked in a garage, BE SAFE PEOPLE! Reversing is DANGEROUS! More so if you don’t have a camera!

So how long until our options in dodging the endless waves of shitty ads have completely gone? Sure, there might not be indication of it now, but it’s probably a safe bet that Mozilla will try and pull some of the same shit Brave did in regards to ads/adblocking.

Thank fuck the internet as a whole is getting so shitty to the point it encourages us to go do something else. Turns out that avoiding the internet as a whole results in feeling a hell of a lot better about things in general.

Saw the headline, came in thinking “I know there’s a federated version, but can’t remember the name” and BAM! there it is; Abidan in with the save!

The only news I care to hear about people wealthy enough to throw away others’ year’s salary for trends like this… is if and when they get punted square in the nuts.

So far, it’s been slow news on that front.

<laughs in massive data breaches> Better buckle up Buttercup, because “being in a database” is a reality. Thanks to data breaches such as Equifax, pretty much every US citizen and all their important details are available in numerous databases.

We willingly purchase devices that listen and watch our every move… to be added to private, corporate databases that get sold around like cheap prostitutes. At least with government databases, voting gives at least a teeny, tiny modicum of control.

And even better, while I cant name specific breaches in relation to global populations, it’s a safe bet most everyone else is compromised as well.

On the bright side, at least it makes random identity theft occurring to any one particular individual akin to winning the PowerBall.

Neither, as they rely on Firefox. Waterfox, while decent, does raise an eyebrow as it was bought out by an ad company. LibreWolf is only good as long as the underlying Firefox code it’s built on stays as pliable as it is.

And before you ask, I dont actually recommend any browser. They’re ALL shit. And I quite literally mean ALL.

Now would probably be a good time to mention private trackers. GGn usually has everything, isn’t too hard to maintain good standing, and has a relatively decent community.
