It says that Piped is affected as well. This is probably a dumb question from me, but I use NewPipe in my phone to access YT - and it did not cause any trouble yet. I heard that the Piped project also uses NewPipe Extractor under the hood (which basically scrapes YT website). So why would Piped break but not NewPipe ?
I love you brother…
I’m using Mullvad.
“galactic balls” - I am so going to use this phrase…
Linkedin is Facebook with a necktie and a blazer on.
Agree? (Lol)
Don’t be surprised. Such quirks are unimpossible in English… /s
Privacy is not binary, it is a spectrum.
You have no fucking idea what a beautiful thing you just wrote.
Not an email service per se, but rather an email-forwarding service, and offers unlimited duck [dot] com aliases with their browser extension and/or mobile app.
I have used their email forwarding service for a while (it is quite decent) before moving over to Firefox Relay.
And if you wsnt a FOSS option for unlimited email aliases - Duckduckgo is a good option.
Earlier I was wanking for no reason, but now I get to showcase my c*m to investors - yaay
Thanks ! This is it.
I hate you…/s
Btw our heads are very slowly 3-D printing our hairs…
Excuse me - if I bought your product and paid for it, in what universe am I not investing into you, and instead you are investing into me??
HP is a steaming pile of shit.
ABP has that stinky practice of marking ads as “acceptable” (basically those companies pay ABP to be on their “allowlist”).
As has already been mentioned - stop using ABP, and use uBO instead. It’s a lifesaver.
They were sold to ZippoApps, who specializes in adding crapware to apps.
What else would we expect anyway…
Are there e-readers with very very dim light that still allow comfortable reading?
I have not used any myself, but I have heard that both Kindle e-reader and Kobo support this.
To provide “personal recommendation”, an App would most likely need to profile you, i.e. track your viewing habits and trends, and forecast your areas of interests.
IMO this goes directly against the concept of privacy.
On the brighter side, I think Freetube (local, on windows) and LibreTube (on Android, but needs a piped account) can provide personalized video suggestions, but you yourself should check them out.
Whenever I hear this argument
“Most people are not interesting enough to profile, so they don’t need this XYZ privacy tool…”
I always have this ready as a counter argument
"Only a stupid person would not care about pickpockets just because his wallet does not have much cash - a pickpocket will not ask you how much cash you have before picking your wallet, and even if your wallet turns up to be empty, the pickpocket is not going to be a gentleman and return that to you.
Tracking/profiling for Ads on the internet happen en masse; you are just one of a million data points that build a profile - it doesn’t care whether you as an individual are interesting or not".
Ba dam diss…
