Why don’t we go about this problem another way: instead of blocking the ads let’s just extract the content? Hash it. Put it on a modern-day Pirate Bay & load the content from a cache, skipping the ad bs altogether.

No. This will stop you from building the kind of startup that is built on a bad ethical foundation. Don’t collect data you can’t protect. It’s that simple!

This a 100x. All I need is text, images & video. With all the JavaScript madness the www has become a fundamentally untrustworthy medium. To wit: often the GDPR-compliant text-only web experience is better than the full-blown deal.

For me it’s pretty small: deleted all social apps from my phone. But I’ve been thinking about making bigger changes to live a more minimalist lifestyle. Looking for inspiration/ ideas / discussion.

This. Indeed. Overall we spend far too much time working to afford “necessities” & “conveniences” that are neither.

Why not call it technology like in the article? What would anti-technology look like?

Well to be fair I already spend a significant amount of time with a single wired EarPod in my ear so if you keep the battery case handy that means endless listening. I'm mostly listening to audiobooks or podcasts & I like to still

I'm wondering if Skype mentoring might help you. If you're serious about this, shoot me a message. I think that by far the single most important thing is to start the "learning to code" process with a specific project in

Ever since the Apple Watch came out I've been wondering if there's a market for an always-on throat mic fashionably packaged as a new kind of jewelry or something. Works fine for the military it seems.

And it seems to work. I'm from Belgium and I can even see a moderate average guy like myself turning against Islam. Frightening really, how easy it is to manipulate people into in-group out-group thinking. All we need now is a charisma

You won't get a good answer here beyond "it depends". Who are your trying to protect the data from?

I did a deep evaluation at work of project Islandwood & my conclusion was that there's just enough framework support to make Candy Crush run, but that's about it.
