Today is Overcast's 10th birthday, and to celebrate, I'm launching a major rewrite of the app: marco.org/2024/07/16/overcast-…

The first decade has been great, and this new foundation brings it into the next one!

(Spoiler alert: It's fast. REALLY fast. And there's more coming soon.)

Both. Especially for users who like flirting between the best of both worlds of what GrapheneOS & iOS Lockdown Mode bring to the table. 😉

Not only is Vance a total climate denier now, he also has intentionally chosen this position for crass political purposes, having previously acknowledged climate change science.
More evidence his "beliefs" are purely driven by self-serving political posturing rather than any ties to facts or truth.

Boa gente, para contexto, esta é a discreta arma que o atirador conseguiu trazer para o encontro de Republicanos, a AR-15, a arma de eleição da Extrema-direita, de que ele fazia parte.

Consegui entrar com ela, passar os detectores de armas, subir para o telhado e disparar. É só.

Leute, wenn ihr eure Privatsphäre wenigstens ein bisschen schützen wollt, dann benutzt Werbe- und Trackingblocker [3]. Gegen solche Szenarien wie »Databroker Files« [2] kann man sich schon relativ einfach schützen. [1] 👇

Nichts zu verbergen? Wirklich nicht? Dann solltet Ihr Euch diesen Artikel durchlesen.

DURCHLESEN, nicht nur überfliegen!

Wobei einem auch schon vom Überfliegen schlecht genug werden kann. Anschließend fragt Euch noch einmal: Wirklich nichts zu verbergen? Ehrlich nicht? Würde mir äußerst schwer fallen zu glauben…

alle haben was zu verbergen. Die, die behaupten, es wäre nicht so, haben es sich nur nicht überlegt.

Die #Werbeindustrie erhebt schon seit Jahren Daten um Bewegungsprofile zu erstellen und daraufhin passende Werbung zu generieren. Das mag zum Beispiel in einer App zur Stadt oder dem Kiez auf dem ersten Blick vorteilhaft erscheinen. Immerhin bekommt man so neue Angebote automatisch aufs Handy. Nachteil: Bewegungsprofile. Erstaunlich das die #BuReg diesen Broker auch noch gefördert hat. Wieso wird nicht von Staatswegen gegen diese Kriminellen ermittelt und ganz offen von #Cybercrime gesprochen? Das die #DSGVO keinen Schutz bietet ist bewiesen. Das Leben der Bürger in #Deutschland ist in Gefahr.

wait, what... They worked with Meta to build it? And that's supposed to reassure? 🤨
in reply to Adam Dalliance

yes, because any successful mechanism will need to be actually useful to advertisers. You don't want the web browser on your computer that you're running to be useful to advertisers?


»Firma verschleudert 3,6 Milliarden Standorte von Menschen in Deutschland«. Seit Jahren erwähne ich in fast jedem Artikel, in dem es um Tracking und Android-Apps geht, dass die Google Advertising-ID ein personenbeziehbares Datum ist. Dies wurde nun erneut eindrucksvoll bewiesen. 👇

Weg aus der Misere: Verwendet googlefreie Systeme wie #GrapheneOS und nutzt Werbe- und Trackingblocker.

So I turned off the new Firefox advertiser-friendly stuff.

But somehow I feel this isn't enough. I want to do more than just turn the feature off, I would prefer to submit poisoned and false data to it continually.

Anyone know a plugin that will flood this bullshit system with fake AI lies or anything like that?

In the page explaining why they silently forced this bullshit on me they say "Attribution is very important to advertisers"

Fuck advertisers. Fuck them. You get that Firefox? It is not your job to be kind to advertisers, it is your job to fuck them on my behalf.

I looked at Librewolf and it seemed like it'd be perfect. Was still able to send tabs around from machine to machine and sync bookmarks and stuff, which is the thing I suspected wouldn't work. All worked okay, was just firefox without the bullshit they do these days.

Until it just threw javascript errors on my TTRSS install and I couldn't read my newsreader.

Only on my desktop machine mind, it was fine on the laptop.

Maybe I should try harder. Perhaps it was just a fleeting thing that would be fixed next version.

I'm hearing that Mozilla worked with Facebook to build this malware that they silently injected into our machines.

Reminds me of that episode of Batman where Batman teamed up with the Penguin to develop a more citizen-friendly system of crime and extortion so that the Penguin could stop having so many people murdered.

Oh, no, wait. That never happened because Batman knows who the fucking bad guys are.

Glorious. Zoom are mandating staff return to the office twice a week.

The Chief People Officer behind the policy explains why to media - and talks about how *they* work remotely.
“I think I can manage people at Zoom effectively while working fully remotely,”

My latest: Apple this morning announced a new “midnight” HomePod mini, which, while ostensibly ho-hum news, is a great opportunity to remind able-bodied people in the tech media that accessibility matters a whole lot when it comes to smart speakers.
