“OH GOD! HERE! TAKE IT!”
Still not as bad as that time Verizon handed over their customer’s data to some idiot that said he was an FBI agent. And in case it wasn’t obvious, he was a fraud and he didn’t have anything that looked like an official warrant either.
ublock origin, brave with aggressive adblocking and adguard for desktop with some kind of adblocking DNS
and then, you will finally be able to enjoy websites without any bullshit.
It wasn’t always like this. it used to be the case that one form of adblocking was enough. And I really want the internet to go back to the way it was 15 or 16 years ago when you didn’t need to be careful about what you said online and keeping windows machines secure was simple as long as you knew what to get.
what browser is as good at fingerprint-spoofing besides brave? I mean…Librewolf is pretty good at making its fingerprint look like all the others…as long as the letterboxing is turned on and you don’t adjust the ratio of the window a unique way
That other chromium based browser Vivaldi…I think that’s how it’s spelled, does that have fingerprint protection? does it have it’s own anonymous way of setting up a sync account?
never use the youtube app, for stuff like that on your smart TV, you need something like iVPN on your router with the “restrictive” setting on the anti-tracker and then you need “adguard home” connected to your home wifi too. it’s a device you have to buy that has adguard in it, not sure how it works.
Weird how only the most resource-rich countries in africa are the ones going through so much shit, and it’s weird how they’re all ruled by dictators, I wonder how those positions were given to those people.
On another note! tech companies got a whole bunch of new supplies to make batteries and circuit boards! and jewelry companies have more diamonds to sell! And oil companies have more oil to turn into gas and diesel.
EA has tried this before, with predictable results. In 2020, EA Sports UFC 4 included full-screen ads for the Amazon Prime series The Boys that would appear during ‘Replay’ moments. These were absent from the game when it launched, with EA introducing the ads about a month later, thereby preventing them from being...
When Bloomberg reported that Spotify would be upping the cost of its premium subscription from $9.99 to $10.99, and including 15 hours of audiobooks per month in the U.S., the change sounded like a win for songwriters and publishers. Higher subscription prices typically equate to a bump in U.S. mechanical royalties — but not...
“but if we pirate things the singers won’t get anything!”
yeah, fuck the music companies and fuck the movie companies. The moral thing to do is to pirate everything you want to watch, read and listen to.
the actors, writers and singers and everyone working behind the scenes are already getting next to nothing for their hard work compared to what the executives at all those corporations are getting for just sitting on their asses.
…sorry I blacked out, what were we talking about?
You should never pirate anything! that would be bad!
but I don’t want robots to be a thing. And I don’t want autistic people to be viewed as some kind of tool for the billionaires to get richer
A lot of shitty video game companies and other billion dollar corpos are looking for autistic people to hire because they’re less likely to complain about not getting a good wage or about working extortionary long hours under threat of being fired.
I don’t care what your race, gender, disability or whatever is. the minimum wage should be higher than the cost of living and everyone deserves an equal piece of the profits of a company they work for on top of getting a living wage and benefits. For the executives that contribute nothing, that means a lot less money, for the people who actually work at the company, that means a lot more.
If you devote your time to the operation of a business, you deserve to be paid and to be paid well.
Any company that wants to take advantage of autistic people not being informed about their rights as a worker should be broken up and the executives should be put in stockades in a public square.
