It's not strange. These organisations have always existed to push mass media. It doesn't matter to them whether it's false information or not, but they are scared of not being able…

I am terrified of Microsoft going this route, since they make my OS of choice. I could expect Google doing this kind of stuff, like deciding what sites I can visit or what people I…

I use eBay mostly for the resellers, i.e., when I need to buy some Chinese crap but I can't wait 2-3 weeks until it arrives here, so I buy it from some reseller in my country. Back…

Unless you're using a platform where you can't run an ad blocker (and I can't think of any), a hosts file (or a pihole) is a hamfisted approach compared to having ublock origin.

By calling something classist you're showing you're a leftist, which is necessary in certain circles where not being politically aligned is a death sentence; see "virtue signalling…

Just put the domains in your ublock origin list. That way, if you visit those pages, you will be displayed a page that says that the site was blocked but you have a button to tempo…

You should've linked to the https version of the page so the dozens of icons load faster (because of http2 multiplexing) https://win98icons.alexmeub.com/

It doesn't say anywhere, not even in the title, that Google employees are forbidden to use the word "family". According to TFA: >The tech giant experienced a backlash from its own …

You can't escape Gmail because you'd lose your address, and you can't escape Maps because the alternatives suck. On the other hand if I don't like Supermarket-X, I can go to Superm…

They are nothing because they don't exist. When was the last time you saw a pro-Google/Alphabet article?

No no, I have everything on my hard disk. I don't save anything to the cloud, I don't trust it. Someone may hack my accounts or the cloud itself and see my files, or they could ban…

Millenial, and yes, I used youtube-dl. My "Favourites" playlist on youtube is full of videos that have been deleted or that were posted by accounts that were deleted or banned. But…

He should not call something "salty-ass junk" if he wants his "work" to be respected.

Yep

Funny you'd say that. I keep a folder with gigabytes of youtube videos I downloaded in the event that they are removed from youtube. And, to tell you the truth, a chunk of them hav…

It's better because it's free, as opposed to the rest of options that you've mentioned which either a) cost money or b) force you to listen to ads. (Pro-tip: if you use https://ope…

EFF, keep your paws off Europe.

Will this allow you to run several profiles side by side using the same version of the browser, like with Chrome?

That's because you don't work with systems.

It indeed is a tool that can be used by all camps, but the organisation that controls it has made it clear that only people in the "libertarian" part of the political spectrum can …

Personally, I shut down my Tor relay, which was running for two years (and earned me two tshirts), when you decided to transition from being a software project which works for anon…

You had a radical change of government recently, so I guess it's a matter of time to see if people like it or not.

Is iMessage even a thing outside the US? Everybody in Europe uses WA or Messenger, at least

Would be nice if banned subs appeared in a different colour.
