A switch has silently been flipped in millions of instances of Google Chrome: those browsers will begin sorting their users into groups based on behavior, then sharing group labels with third-party trackers and advertisers around the web. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2021/03/google-testing-its-controversial-new-ad-targeting-tech-millions-browsers-heres

Major browsers are upping their privacy promises (a good thing), but unfortunately this does not mean they actually stop Google & Facebook tracking.

To do that, you have to totally stop their trackers from loading, like the DuckDuckGo app & extension do.

About to go pick up more tit-tacs and men-noes and some food.

Hey I need a product key for Windows 10 can someone hit me up? I'll pay, it's for a friend. 💙

There never was and never is enough time in the day. Cherish your friends, y'all.

My friend took this picture while we were out in the park yesterday. I think it's pretty cool.

Sour skittles are good.

Looks like #Linux kernel 5.11 has hit the #Fedora repos. 🐧

In trying to kill a class action lawsuit, Google admits Incognito mode was never meant to actually protect your privacy: "websites might be able to collect info about your browsing activity"

The problem is the name itself is inherently misleading.

Also *you shouldn't* access sites like:
Library Genesis and Imperial Library of Trantor.

Okay remind me again why are publicly funded officers working as lackeys of private, for-profit interests?

"Police are warning students and universities not to access Sci-Hub, an "illegal website" that allows users to download scientific research papers normally locked behind expensive subscriptions."

Very bad indeed. That name again: Sci-Hub. Remember it so you can avoid it. Ahem.

Oh, want some more stupid things going on in Brazil?

Apparently, the president called a "national security law" and ordered people calling him "genocide" and "killer" to be escorted to police stations to give explanations.

Is there still no way to make Windows notifications appear somewhere other than bottom right corner? Asking for my cat....

An interesting side effect of frequently doing a Twitter search for "Sprinklr" this week is seeing all the sockpuppets pretending to be anti-union Amazon warehouse workers, all posting to Twitter via Sprinklr. 🤔

I'm not saying it's Amazon, but SOME big company is doing it...
