Continuous updates are not an option here. GA4 is very different from previous versions and has many breaking changes.

I don't particularly care whether the sun rises or sets +/- 1 hour. I do care about having my routine and sleep schedule disrupted.

Google doesn't sell targeting based on DNS queries. > I am no more comfortable with cloudflare having my data than I am with google or verizion, I have never used any of their DNS services It's not either/or. If you use Cl

If DoH didn’t exist, a device manufacturer could trivially reinvent something equivalent. DoH isn’t the problem.

Google and Cloudflare don’t sell data on dns queries per their privacy policies. Verizon does.

Many of the biggest ISPs in the US are actively monitoring DNS queries, collecting the data of which sites you visit, and packaging it for sale to ad networks and data brokers. DoH stops that.

That's a stretch given the context. A smart TV maker can put whatever they want in their own client software. They don't care what features Firefox and Google support.

Sorry but it just isn't the same. Russia made it illegal -- punishable by 15 years in prison -- to accurately describe their invasion of Ukraine.

If you search "Ukraine news RT" on DDG you get Ukraine news from RT. It's still there if you look for it. It just isn't near the top of a "Ukraine news" query (I assume you'd find it there eventually if yo

Yeah I just don't agree with any of that. Spam is infamously hard to identify and consistently define. My spam is your content. I'd argue what Russia is doing here is spam. They're laundering their message through media outle

And if you search for communications from the countries involved you will still find them in DDG! They're just no longer on the first page of a "Ukraine news" query

Doesn't seem incompatible. I assume most people searching for general news about Ukraine are not seeking for Russian state media's take on it.

No, it can't. A filter bubble is specifically defined as users getting personalized results for the same query based on what an algorithm knows about them. It's right there in the first paragraph on wikipedia. A hyper-partisan sea

Is this materially different from filtering other abuse like SEO spam? Would you choose to keep spam in your results to reach your own conclusion?

I cut my teeth on Delphi and didn't realize how good I had it. Nice, snappy IDE with point-and-click GUI builder, solid interactive debugger, robust library of free and paid components.

Many states and cities in the US have so-called "ban the box" laws that prohibit employers from asking about your criminal history during the initial hiring process or sometimes until a job offer has been made. Explaining why you

Makes sense, but 1) Google still has a HUGE spam account problem and 2) this is going to hurt a whole lot of innocent people. Phone number as unique person identifier is hugely problematic for a lot of reasons. I wonder how many accounts yo
