Google is using its exceptionally powerful position to make *the browser itself* analyze your browsing behavior and serve that on a plate in the form of "cohorts" to anyone interested.

They are transforming Chrome into a "browsing-history-passport" - right now.

If you care about your intellectual freedom even a little bit, you must put Chrome out of your life as soon as possible. Support others doing the same.

I'm thinking of dabbling with #pipewire a bit. it looks like a cool project. And, if can be a drop-in replacement for Pulse, ALSA, and gstreamer like they advertise, I think it might actually help reduce ISO size a bit if it's shipped by default on a distro.

@amolith management: Let's build a better browser

Programmers: We'll use Chrome because it's easier. No one will know

@BradReed I heard about it here and then coincidentally saw some videos by @ChrisWere and @HexDSL then I tried out amfora and Lagrange and started running agate for my capsule.

Other things I have seen in passing are people who download Wikipedia to have offline. I also read some articles about digital nomads that mentioned different concepts like this one https://100r.co/site/working_offgrid_efficiently.html

@welshpixie but yeah, the european discussion on tech often assumes you can't live without certain things like amazon and alexa, online buying that arrives on the same day, or even getting a new smartphone every year. it's all so alien, and in a sense sounds to me straight up disrespectful of a majority that has no idea what that is.
