Hi everyone!...

Nothing profound here, just need to vent: I haven’t used Facebook for several years now, but I just got my 10 year old son a Meta Quest 2 and had to activate it by linking to my Facebook account. Just two days later I got a warning that the account will be locked because they detected that a child was using the Quest with an...

Is their a platform or a way to know what a link does ?...

I want a bulletproof way to give email sub-addresses, since some websites strip out special characters like + and .. I have an idea for how it could work, let’s say my email is TheTwelveYearOld@Reddit.com and I have the following:...

I am not a fan of Twitter, but sometimes I would like to visit a Twitter profile, unfortunately due to Twitter restrictions it is currently not possible to view anything without an account, and clearly I am not going to create a Twitter account for that, are there any forks in development that are trying to solve these Twitter...

I know prevention is better than cure and altering behaviour to avoid them to start with is the best defence but I cannot for the life of me...

I know VPNs aren’t the best for privacy, but I’m curious, would a VPN be able to only see a domain and subdomain if the website is https? or can they see more somehow?

Let’s say I use a website. If I browse the same website but unsigned in on a different browser, on the same computer, will the site be able to use any data, since I have the same IP address?
