Intervene? I don’t think they have that kind of power ;)

The other commenters in this thread seems to be giving you good advice and moral support, so I’m just going to give my input which comes from a perspective that’s a bit different.

Sometimes especially when the options we have are contrary to our beliefs, we have to consider if we really need to be a part of it. Sometimes the burden is the smartphone itself. I don’t use smartphones and I couldn’t be happier, somehow my life didn’t end. The last one I had was the N900 and even though it was a pretty cool pocketcomputer, I guess it’s now been around 10 years since I last had a smartphone. I don’t miss it and especially not when I see other people who have one. It’s scary so addictive it seems to be. Pen and paper for data sharing and just calling people can accomplish many tasks.

Old people with bad eyesight also need banking, so I’d hope theres a bank out there who don’t require a smartphone. In my country banks use the national id for authentication and you can get a TOTP keychain for the 2FA instead of an app, perhabs similar options exist.

Anyway, I hope you find something that works for you. Life is a process.

I use WebScrapBook on LibreWolf. It let you choose between saving to single html, maff and htz. I prefer the htz format where resources are stored next to the page in an archive. It can also be viewed natively by Firefox-based browsers using the URI scheme jar:file:///home/me/somepage.htz!/index.html.

My recommendation:

1. Write to your politicians and tell them that cables should become provider neutral to increase competition.
2. Find a cheaper wireless provider and move what can be moved to offline first.
3. Write your current provider and tell them why you cancel.

Thank you.

Interesting that they’ll make it a user choice. Who would answer yes?

On 22 July 2024, Google announced that it is changing its approach to Privacy Sandbox. Instead of removing third-party cookies from Chrome, it will be introducing a user-choice prompt, which will allow users to choose whether to retain third party cookies.

Do you have a source for that excus… uehm… claim?

That’s the last stage of being a FOSS developer.

From what I read these articles talk about post infection use of OpenNIC tlds. Anyway it was just a suggestion, it’s always a good idea to only use DNS servers you trust :)

I don’t understand how that would be a security risk to you. Even if I understood what the threat vector was, it would be very inefficient to use an OpenNIC tld to spread malware as you only target 0.0001% (random very low number) of internet users.

You’re in trouble already as a business, wasting a lot of money, if you don’t know where your target audience is. What you argue is that this is used for a business to probe where an advertisement would work. I’d argue that that is a very expensive way of finding your target audience, because you still have to pay for all the ads that didn’t work. There are much better ways of figuring out where your target audience is.

I think most people believe that this obsessive data collection is neccessary, only because Google has repeatedly painted that narrative. This better advertising is just coincidentally the form of advertising that Google is in the best position to supply.

If you carefully pick the places you advertise and do statistics on how it affect your business while a campaign runs I’m willing to bet you get a much better return. As a bonus to saving money you didn’t have to shit on an important principle in democracy, the autonomy of the people, protected by something called privacy.

Did you ironically preserve the utm_source parameter?

I’m not even buying the premise. Any business can look at its bottomline to see if their advertising works. If they can’t, then its not working.

How?

There’s plenty to add from OpenNIC and you get access to some addition TLDs as a bonus ;)

I think most PDF readers support Javascript. I use xpdf and one of the reasons is that it does not support Javascript.

I use the addon Redirector for rewriting urls to youtube etc. to private alternatives. I guess you can use it to rewrite startpage queries.

There are a lot of entertaining articles on Techdirt about companies not understanding trademark law.

I agree and the requirement for an exact placement of attribution is not very friendly to derivate works either. I don’t think that section 7 of AGPL allow adding anything other than the exact terms in section 7 and it has a clause that allow removing non-permissive additions to the AGPL, but I’ve sent an e-mail to FSF asking what their position is. I would be very concerned picking AGPL as a license for my projects, if section 7 allow adding clauses like that. Anyhow the clauses were added in this commit, so anything prior to 7.3.0 is normal AGPL.
