Yes, I know about the Google profile, it's transparent and I turned Google's app activity off. My Google profile is right now empty. That's not Android. Let me repeat the question — how does Android track you?

I've worked on anti-ad-blocking tech previously. Safari's content blocking is the weakest on the market and can be easily circumvented. And I'm an iOS user and the ads on the websites I visit are unbearable and have tried man

I use NextDNS. And Firefox on iOS does block trackers out of the box which is pretty cool too. This combination doesn't get rid of all ads, but it does get rid of a lot of them and the egregious cases are covered.

Do you have some evidence on how Android tracks you or is this just a guess?

VS is not built on top of dotNET. VS Code was expected to run on anything, being nothing more than Javascript & HTML wrapped via Electron.

That's because the military and the secret police opened fire on the population, the parent is talking nonsense.

The line about the coup d'etat is bullshit, stop spreading nonsense. Ceaușescu was killed because the terrorists wouldn't give up otherwise, the terrorists being suspected to be the old secret police, which also wreaked havoc in T

I'm a Romanian and I actually love my country, but this article is more about communist Romania or at most the Romania of the 90s and we shouldn't be in denial about past or even current problems.

That's not what I'm arguing for.

Absence of evidence, is not evidence of absence dude, this is obvious. But fact of the matter is you made an allegation that is not supported by evidence. If we are talking about what constitutes proof, I can tell what isn't proof ...

Arguably international adoptions are a good thing, given the proper checks in place to ensure those children aren't adopted into slavery. There are currently tens of thousands of abandoned children in Romania that nobody wants to adopt

This is a direct result of Ceaușescu banning abortions in comunist România in his infamous decree 770 from 1966, in an effort to grow the population. This was a huge social experiment the pro-life vs pro-choice debaters can learn from. If y

There's actually a lot of scientific evidence that hyperpalatable food contributes significantly to obesity and that bland food does lead to an instantaneous drop in appetite. It's not about any penance, you got it all wrong, this

Education is an issue. Very few programmers actually know what functional programming even is or how it can help. Also 40 years ago we had what? LISP as is commonly used is not an FP language. ML was nice but there wasn't much FP done

Why are you jumping to conclusions on the double standard? Classic whataboutism. No, I don't use Google or Facebook either. And I've been avoiding Microsoft since the '90-ties.

If you don't like it, then don't buy their products, it's that simple. Sovereign countries are sovereign of course. But that's a truism that's irrelevant in this discussion. Such countries can ban Apple products if

I don't think it's OK to conflate the two issues. Whether it's OK for Apple to keep those APIs private, that's a debate we can have, but it's not the same thing as the highway robbery they are doing with app develop

If you're going to host anything on that domain, then it will be collected in domain lists. I got rid of my contact@ email address because of that. Email addresses that I use now look like this: reddit@subdomain.domain.com If this leak

I don't think that's a good recommendation. Spammers are going to find your domain name and spam it at obvious usernames anyway (eg contact@). Besides what use-case do people have for throwaway addresses? In my experience in most

My websites are behind Cloudflare. If not Cloudflare then I'd use another CDN. Therefore I don't have logs. Also I disagree about the slowness. The script is loaded asynchrously, it does not block the page and I measure my loading

This is whataboutism. Yes, ideally our elected politicians should solve this, but we don't live in a perfect world. So what can we do in a world led by imperfect people?

You mean people? Companies are ran by people, people want to get rich, people are the problem. The only change I see working is to hold accountable not just the companies themselves but the decision makers too.

In any big organization, the more you try to "share", the more bureaucracy is involved, because you have to get people to agree. You can hardly get agreement on how things should be done in a company, let alone in the EU. In any b
