why don’t they focus on fixing their cold soggy fries and shit-tier “burgers” first

+1 for librewolf, been using it a while and it works perfectly

i also get a “strong protection against Web tracking” result from EFF’s cover your tracks browser test, using librewolf

freud might rise from the grave to interview you

when it got revealed that NSA was pretty much spying on everyone all the time, the vast majority of people didn’t care, and still don’t. i tell people that their phone is listening to them, alexa is listening, even their stupid robo-vacuum is sending shit back to HQ-- “oh wow, you think so? anyway…”

when i was a kid, it was normal for parents to say “get out of my sight” and we would just go outside and meet up with our friends. we knew it was time to go home when the street lights turned on. but then there were the kids whose parents wouldn’t let them go out to play with their friends. so they had no friends.

yea, you can force your kids into a bubble where they can’t even talk to their peers, sure. that’s a great way to have kids who never call you when they grow up

I can’t blame a reputable journal for asking for money to see the articles they publish

lol is the verge a “journal”? GTFO bro

propublica is about as “real journalism” as it gets, and i’ve never been blocked by a paywall with them

staying in business is the business’s problem, not the consumer’s problem

paywall = close tab

period

i guess we can say we also don’t have to inhale cigarette smoke at every restaurant and on every plane trip, as well as leaded gasoline fumes, like they did

but still, yea. most people i know are basically fucked money-wise compared to our parents

the fucked up thing is the number of people who actually thought it was ever about “dogs”

edward snowden pretty much spilled the beans on government mass surveillance many years ago, but most people just said “meh…whatever”

why is “gay republican” there?

it’s evidence of how GOP’s constant vicious attacks on the LGBTQ is just pandering to the uneducated bigoted evangelical morons who already hated gays. not that it makes any difference to maga. so far it seems like the only thing that has started to make blindly loyal maga cult sheeple question dear leader and his entire circle has been the child rape coverup. and even that, just fucking barely

when are they rolling that shit out on AI-slop-CSAM-central aka twitter?

they ran the test on those pw managers because they were open source. that allowed the testers to implement a “dummy” provider on their own “compromised server.” so the results of failing the tests are based on the hypothetical situation of “what if bitwarden (or whoever) had an entire server taken over by hackers”. while the chances of that happening are greater than zero, it would take a lot for someone to completely hijack a server like that

edit to add-- these tests are one of the reasons these pw managers choose to be open source: to allow 3rd party tests like this to find vulnerabilities, so they can be fixed

nothing is 100% guaranteed safe, but if you don’t want to remember or write down dozens or hundreds of unique strong passwords, i still would recommend a pw manager

it’s not just firefox. pretty sure that’s just how the web works. i use librewolf with privacy badger, canvas blocker, and ublock, but it’s still built around firefox. i get a “unique fingerprint” notification, but also “you have strong tracking protection”

i think the message is there’s no such thing as 100% private/anonymous–there’ll always be something giving you up

the hardest thing to stop them tracking you is digital fingerprinting. they don’t need you to sign in, they have a profile with dozens of data points unique to your hardware/browser, unless you’ve got things installs specifically to prevent fingerprinting

i mean we could say we’re living through 1984, brave new world, Fahrenheit 451, handmaid’s tale, maybe lolita–i haven’t read that one, but heard it’s a bit child-rapey

whatever it is, no one source has really encapsulated the hell of actual reality today

relevant webcomic contrasting 1984 and brave new world, which is insightful, but doesn’t include the reality that we’re literally living in both novels’ universes

tacking onto that: a lot of the things we grew up to accept as “given truth” are complete lies
