We'll cross that bridge when and if we come to it. Or rather we won't, but the devs behind these projects will.

The PM Is not the kind of person to sell out Australia for the gambling industry. Labor as a party is beholden to the gambling industry because money talks in Australian politics. Sure they did pass political donation reform, but the press is beholden to advertisers and so the advertisers have a lot of influence in the press.

I'm starting to question whether the free press should even exist, or can exist under capitalism.

Just stare at your phone instead like a normal person.

Advertisements are a thing where you can turn them off and basically suffer none of the negative externalities (escaping the tracking is a LOT harder). There's no real reason to form a movement over a basically solved issue.

It was never that Chinese stuff was bad, it's that American companies outsourced their bad things to China.

I'm 25 and still sorting out the books I care to read. I'm overwhelmed with choice, particularly interesting works in genres that I don't find much joy in.

But they're deleting my social media.

A lot of debate has been had about whether the CEO is trustworthy, but I guess if they're not doing end to end encryption then there's no point.

It'll have a devastating effect for people who work in the industries.

Those of us who don't play AAA games or watch Warner Bros or Paramount movies don't really have much to lose here. Worst case scenario there are always Nigerian and Uzbek movies.

He said that Republicans were more responsive on privacy than the Democrats, there's nothing weird about that. Though it is pretty clear that the Republicans were responsive for all the wrong reasons.

It's okay, I'm Australian, my government's got me covered.

So a bit ago I got an add for "canned rambutan". I had looked up Rambutan a few days prior after hearing it mentioned 10 hours into the video game Baby Steps. I wasn't using a VPN at the time and I didn't have fingerprinting protections active but I only mentioned it to a few sources (according to my browser history) all of which generally are implied to be private.

Which of these do you think is the reason the ad networks know?

  • Wikipedia
  • Startpage Search
  • Duckduckgo Search
  • My ISP
  • Firefox
  • My Firefox Extensions
  • Kubuntu
  • CachyOS
  • The omnipotent algorithm connecting my mentions of Baby Steps with my progress through the game.
  • Does this only make sense if my browser history is incomplete?
  • Maybe I was using DNS over HTTPS via Cloudflare at the time of my search.

Any guesses as to where the weak link is?
