@aral Easy indication for the sites that you don't want to visit... funny enough if there is an F-Droid app for the service then you are probably "better on the app" than in any other way.

Prefer something more visual? 📺
We sat down last year with @Snowden to discuss what this case means for surveillance around the world.

After having some work with MS Word:
WYSIWYG editors were invented by idiots for idiots. The idea of abandoning plain text editing for mouse editing BS is one of the pinnacles of human stupidity.
@krock Yeah that is true. Sounds like a good approach. Thanks.
Before FLoC: My personal blog was not tracking or profiling any visitors; no JS in use, no 3rd party requests, no logging.
After FLoC: My personal blog is now a data point in in-browser profiling mechanism and contributes to my visitor's profiling.
I did not opt-in for that as a site owner, I can only opt-out now by setting some headers? Just having site on the web is now toxic... WTF?

@joeyh for me it has a darker feel of "(un)impressive things generated by a black-box statistical model no one can analyze or reason about yet important decisions are being made based on" :(

Several folks were asking about my Rolland MT-80S floppy disk boombox yesterday, so I shot a short video showcasing the device and some of it's features:

Not surprising that DNS-over-HTTP-over-TLS-over-TCP is a resource consumption worry compared to completely state-less DNS-over-UDP... what about DNSCrypt?
Also for ROOT servers, it does not make sense to encrypt if you can avoid sending full query as per QNAME Minimisation and if your use shared recursive resolver. Stub resolvers (you) are as anonymous as in case of use of VPN or Tor, no?

So we're basically living in The Matrix, except it's corporations using us for personal data instead of power.

Hologon by The Electronic Knights
This new Amiga 500 demo fits in the "How the fuck is that possible" category.
It was released offline two months ago, only by mail-swap on floppy disk. So yes, it also fits on a single floppy disk. 🙃

Thank you for sharing the article. There are a lot of good points in it and I highly resonate with them.❤️
BUT, there is no such thing as time-travel!
These libraries and other languages had years or, in case of languages, *decades* to mature, before they are considered stable.
Rust had it's 1.0 in 2015 and look what they have achieved in this "blink of an eye" (I'm taking Rust as an example, but there are certainly other projects, which have achieved the same)!

U ever think about how a corporation can pry into your life and at worst get a slap on the wrist but if you pry into their code you can get sent to jail? 🤔
