fastmail? seems like a curious choice if the goal is privacy. It's not google i guess. I don't know if they use any google services like ads, analytics, or whatever. As the article says they are based out of Australia which has ma

I was doing some beginner gymnastics strength exercises. I saw an advanced video I and couldn't believe what I was seeing. These advanced gymnasts stood on a box, bent down with straight legs touching their toes, grabbed onto barbell w

A few years ago if you typed bom.gov.au in your address bar it wouldn't load. You'd have to type www.bom.gov.au . It took them many years to add the redirect. It's long over due for an overhaul. I'm glad to hear it has a

This is why switching from google to duckduckgo isn't as effective as switching to a search engine based in europe.

I tried not to interpret the article in the worst possible way, but I failed, it feels disingenuous to me. I don't think comparing ppa's to snaps is a good comparison. ppa's have the disadvantage of potential dependency probl

How do you claim the record and not incriminate yourself? A few people in Australia have been fined for uploading a photo they took while driving to social media. One was a politician who was stopped at some road works. He uploaded it to fa

having my timezone set to utc was probably the most annoying thing about the firefox anti fingerprint setting. I never got quick and efficient at doing quick math to know what the local time was in my head.

yeah, I can't recall every factor but my locale was the biggest one and setting it to US is annoying for spelling reasons. colour vs color, etc. resolution as mentioned is another big factor but that was also annoy having the default r

I've done a similar thing, qwant, protonmail, firefox (4 different profiles and scores of containers), privacy badger, ublock origin, decentral eyes, but I'm convinced it's not possible to stop tracking. My browser finger pri

I read a blog post a while ago that was quite remarkable. From memory it was someone going blind (your age) while studying law, and halfway through couldn't read any more. Determined to finish his degree he developed the ability to lis

The guy does seem to have some skills in marketing and websites, so a lot of it was probably just time. I think $10,000 is a reasonable figure. $2000 on chess.com (assuming that's correct) and let's say $2000 on chess24, a full pa

No I'm not sure, but that videos and website look expensive. I know the magazine ad didn't need to be paid in advanced.

It was a lot of fun tracking the drama. Regium spent a fair bit of money (10s of 1000s) in ads on chess.comm, chess24.com and at least one magazine (although some of the ads might not have required full up front payment) and the videos and

sanoid is great. I asked how to stop sanoid from snapshotting docker created datasets in rpool/var/lib/docker when rpool has the recursive flag, and they added a feature to do it the next day.

Everyone is talking about the quality of results, but how much better is it in terms of tracking and sharing data? ATM I'm using quant.com, a french company bound by European privacy laws. It has its own index and I rarely need to use

Raymond Hettinger does or did a few talks on dictionaries too. He covers the history of dictionaries in python and how they evolved. It was mentioned in the article's comment section. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p33

Even before firefox containers, I used a dedicated profile for facebook only as well as using privacy badger and ublock origin. Facebook still collected data about me from external sites. I think mainly through my phone, possibly through li

by crashbunny 7y ago
does that stop facebook from collecting data about you? I didn't think it did, and because you don't have an account it's not, or at least wasn't possible to control any privacy settings.

And I believe oracle copied the amazon s3 api. I can't make a informed opinion but my uninformed gut feeling is oracle have done what they are suing google for having done.

I'm a big Carlsen fan, he's currently the best chess player in the world, but not all grandmasters think Carlsen or the other top 10 are the best in history. I can't make an informed opinion myself, but I can retell the argum

I thought they actively study and memorise their own games, games of players they currently play against, and games of past notable players. Part of that study and memorising is practising playing the game through from start to finish. It&#
