zeronine··on FBI recommends using an ad blocker (2022)
The social contract only works when content providers choose an ad network that doesn't serve deceptive, misleading or outright malicious ads. I'd rather protect myself than be polite.

There's no good explanation beacause fibre doesn't 'cancel out' sugar.

zeronine··on Ask HN: What do you do for online privacy?
linux distro with full disk encryption, unique password for every site (self managed), nextcloud provider + cryptomator for cloud storage, opensnitch or similar for firewall, agressive ad/tracker blocking at dns and browser level, lineageos for mobile devices, preference foss software, pirate all media, mullivad vpn sometimes

zeronine··on Walmart Billionaire Marc Lore Is Planning a $500B “City of the Future”
i cannot take this seriously, even fiction has more believable backstories for futute dystopias.
zeronine··on Brave Search replaces Google as default search engine in the Brave browser
brave shilling is concerningly effective
zeronine··on Give any social media platform long enough, and it turns into a mall
Uncool and full of adults
zeronine··on It's tough being an Azure fan
I don't think being a "fan" of tech products/services is healthy. Having a preference is fine, but loyalty won't work in your favour.
zeronine··on NitroPhone – Pixel 4a phone with GrapheneOS
> Doesn't use microG because it's incomplete

> Our sandboxed PlayStore is also incomplete

zeronine··on Helm is a personal server that lives where you do
I feel like this is just capialising on people's privacy and security fears.

Helm provides an offsite backup anyway, so why not just use a NextCloud provider + Cryptomator?

And email is a nightmare to self host and maintain, especially for a primary address. If you need real secure communication just use something other than email.

zeronine··on Apple chief executive Tim Cook gets $750m payout
>What makes Apple treat Chinese workers so differently?

You're asking the wrong question.

It should be: Why is there no disincentive to take unfair advantage of cheap foreign labor?

zeronine··on How safe is Colin Furze's tunnel?

that said, i stopped watching collin's videos a long time ago because of an apparent (however edited) blatant disregard for basic safety principles

zeronine··on Telegram is booming but needs advertisers and $700M soon
Isn't that title a little contradictory?
zeronine··on Uber and Lyft to swap data on banned drivers
I assume there is safeguards. But for the same reason these lists aren't public, their policies aren't either.
zeronine··on Reddit: One of social media's oldest companies is also its most undervalued
I'm sure George Carlin would love knowing one of his quotes prefaced an article about how a company can squeeze more advertising money out of it's user base.

While I'm still complaining:

"You now need an email to sign up..." You don't, you can just click 'next' without entering one.

"The mobile experience was improved" It wasn't. It's designed to be so frustrating you just download the app.

zeronine··on Telegram publishes users' locations online
> If this feature is enabled on your phone, you're publishing your home address online.

Depending on your definition of 'online' this is true of any app you use.

Telegram could at least take a similar approach to Tinder, who have already learnt from a similar mistake.
