Repeat offenders drive bulk of tech support scams via #Google #Ads
"Search engines, and Google’s in particular, are our gateway to the web. Yet, that door sometimes opens up to unsavory places thanks to sponsored search results, AKA ads."
This is part of the reason I recommend using an #adblocker (whether in browser, on device, or network-based.)

If your ISP is compromised how do you stay private?
The FBI knows it’s suddenly a real problem, and they are advising people to use Signal. They know that Signal is not backdoored, and they know that encryption is a Net win for people, especially in these circumstances.
Long term, we need to be looking to solutions like Veilid Framework to deny any adversary from having access to our metadata…
but for now, Use Signal, Use TOR.

It's repo had been archived half a year ago, and the last release was made almost 3 years ago – so it would be good to know if we should still keep it at #IzzyOnDroid or have to remove it as "no longer working".

Několik lidí se mě o víkendu ptalo, jestli pořád dělám kroužky pro děti. Nedělám, protože #Ukrajina. Práce pro dnesnaukrajine.cz/ mě sežere tak 3.5 hodiny týdně. To je skoro přesně to, co jsem dříve věnoval kroužkům pro děti.
