It's not exactly the same: when in hover over a link, I want to know where it's taking me. I want to know if the URL is pointing to a safe domain. Google being the cesspool it is, can serve whichever (ad laden) domain that fits th

Pi-hole let's you define different groups with different ad blocking policies. Then you can define which dhcp ips go in each group. Works very well. The "normies" won't even notice

Here's a wild idea: about the CEO and shareholders being properly taxed, instead? Every job being replaced by AI is with the purpose of making more money for the CEO and shareholders, right? So, tax them more. It would solve SO MANY is

It's all coming together: Even if an open protocol was developed and published, and everyone would just use AI to create their own app in order to be private, Google is shutting down that path by preventing "unsanctioned" app

Maybe not in absolute terms. But if there is no access to the actual SOTA models, it's as if they don't exist.

It goes to show that privacy is not a priority. And it should be.

They literally bombed a school full of girls. It's irrelevant whether AI "makes any mistakes" or not, there are no morals either way, and people just seem to be desensitised to all of this

That's good for you! Isn't that a selfish view, though? "Works for me,so I don't care that systemd is creating dependencies everywhere for everyone else". I appreciate that it simplifies some things, but I can'

I see a "top-down" approach, actually. Government and public services change to (ideally) open source, and "impose"/"require" downstream compatibility. This would create the incentive and make change easie

Again, that's an internal affair. It would be up to the Native Americans to decide. It's their country after all

It's very black and white. It's an internal affair, and no one elected the USA to be the police of the world. We could also argue that even internally in the US, the current president was not democratically elected. Maybe you agre

I agree with your 2nd statement, but people should bring up things that should be discussed. Otherwise, at some point, one of the 10000 [0] won't know there are alternatives and different ways of doing things. [0] https://xk

It makes a lot of sense. Whoever wants to continue developing "these apps" will do it privately, and sell the service to those who want to keep doing things in hiding. Well done, watchdog! So again, it just harms the general publi

You're actually making the exact point you want to attack. That's why Europe needs that push to get their act together and start being self-sufficient, digital services-wise.

I understand your point, but my argument is in the more generic aspect. Consider how whoever complains about blacklist/whitelist would eventually complain about about allow/deny and say they are non-inclusive. Where would this sto

The more we avoid terms, the more negative their connotations become, and the more we forget about history. I would argue, without any evidence, that when terms are used and embraced, they lose their negative connotations. Because in the en

They make it really difficult to fight any of this. You have to, individually - find a representative, their contact info, state your case, hope it's the correct person, hope your mail doesn't go unnoticed, hope that it will be pr

There are many comments from people wanting to pay for Firefox, but not to Mozilla. As an independent alternative, the Ladybird browser ( https://ladybird.org/ ) is being developed and could possibly benefit from more financi

What I did was remove my comment :) Obviously there is no straightforward solution, and I don't want to fuel this anymore.

That's exactly true, and it's very sad.

I had removed the comment, but you replied in the meantime. I didn't want to add further fuel to this. But since you only picked up on that: what the Israeli government is doing to Palestinians, is exactly what you are describing, but
