    Don't pay much attention to what Sokoloff said. In theory, he's kinda right, but that's not how it works in the real world. And I don't know if you and him/her live in the same are…

    I think that on Netflix's case they are not going for reviews. They want to know what you like, to suggest something you'll probably like too. Doesn't matter if it's 4 or 5 stars.

    But on twitter you don't need to give anyone your real name. THAT'S the thing. There should be no way to tie your twitter account to you, unless you specifically allow them to shar…

    I was already thinking of deleting my twitter account. This is just an extra incentive

    Good post. It would be nice to see a follow up with brands that don't track you.

    Have you looked at Wiki.js? I played around with it a little bit and it seemed nice

    Agree! I just assume everything posted here is "for humans". So... what's the differential here?

    I use uBlock + privacy badger, so I whitelist some sites on uBlock. That way I will see those ads, but still block trackers

    Small note: why post an image with the pain points if I need to check the list below to understand what's written?

    It's like, if they are sorry about/regret doing those privacy invasions, are they also going to donate some of the money they made to people implementing privacy solutions or somet…

    Agree. It's easy to talk, but hard to do. Also: in the end, people need money and at least some stability. Even if you consider working at Mozilla to be ethical, if you consider wh…

    This is literally the dumbest thing to do with a word. I mean literally, not literally.

    This is described in the book Moonwalking with Einstein. It's mentioned that one way to remember things would be to "put them" somewhere you are familiar, like where you run, for e…

    That reminds me when I installed Tik Tok to see how it was. You could disable notifications for likes/comments on your videos, but not the trending videos notifications. I uninstal…

    At home, it's already my main browser. Love the work they are doing on it and it's a nice alternative to Chrome (everytime I try Firefox, I go back to Chrome, so...)

    I though they had discontinued it. Are they back at it?

    If that's the person's name, should they be excluded from those apps? Also: shouldn't they change their names in those extreme cases?

    YES. But with samsung is worse. I can't disable the calendar app, or not add my google accounts there. Your account is added, and the only thing you can do is de-select the calenda…

    If I can give my 2 cents, think about how you would like to write and publish, and where do you want to focus. I've tried to use static site generators (mostly Hugo), but in the en…
