"Those tiny micropayments that users had tossed into the Archive’s virtual tip jar had accumulated, growing into more than $2500 USD!

This was an unexpected windfall. It was also proof that the current web, the one that’s driven by ads that know our every move, doesn’t have to be the web of the future. There could be a better way that’s secure, private and supported by its citizenry." blog.archive.org/2019/04/15/a-

El navegador #Brave te permite dar propinas a los sitios que te son útiles. Archive.org ha recibido US$2,500 por esta vía a lo largo del tiempo. Un modelo distinto para que los sitios puedan mantenerse sin recurrir a la publicidad invasiva que te sigue por todos lados. blog.archive.org/2019/04/15/a-

Amazing how much #Debian #Linux has fallen in the #Distrowatch rankings o'er the last coupla yrs vs #Ubuntu and its derivatives 😑.
Now the #systemd -free #Debian-based Linux distros #MXLinux and #AntiX Linux have caught up and are even surpassing the above.
MXLinux at #1 and AntiX at #8 (and rising!)

I know that the relationship with products goes deeper than just a brand of technology. Its users buy a self-indulgent social group pass, not only a piece of hardware. Here are some of apple's engineering failures, or to say it in other words, how to build a multi-million company. youtube.com/watch?v=AUaJ8pDlxi

I'm currently debugging some issues with my Raspberry Pi, and I'm hovering somewhere between steps two and three of the xkcd shark attack sequence. xkcd.com/349/

If you don't hear from me after this, assume it ended in sharks.

I've been through "My Activity" for my Google account before, but just realized that the account associated to my Android phone logs all my app usage and sends it back to Google. Things like when I used an app, how many times, how long. Feeling uncomfortable.

Did you know that cats are essentially the opposite of CSS? They self-center within any container.

Mozilla's creepy data collection https://blog.mozilla.org/futurereleases/2017/09/06/data-just-living

But don't be concerned, it's a 4-tier approach reviewed by someone or other.

The arbitrary requests for new types of user data are especially concerning. It's not hard to imagine what kinds of situations may arise from that.

Maybe I am just a far out anarcho-whatever, but surely it's not a completely radical idea to just use a browser and have a reasonable expectation that your activity isn't being collected and sent back to a central collection point to be analysed by "scientists" by default.

Also another important point. This type of data collection is neither necessary nor required for product improvement or bug fixing.
