Are you describing something which can happen without proper technique/guidance or something which inevitably happens? And I guess I'm wondering the same for the rest of your list of changes.

Another resource that might appeal to the HN type is The Mind Illuminated, by John Yates (a.k.a. Culadasa).

What do you mean exactly by "increased neurosis"? How do you define neurosis here?

There does seem to be some genetic variability at play here. I've known people who were able to quit a benzo cold turkey after taking it for significantly longer than a week.

But they're not cheeky MITM proxies, it's the way HTTP traffic inspection is done. Even if the right to inspect your traffic was legislated, it would need to be compatible with existing MITM tooling. Why am I suddenly getting

I've never properly understood why the closed source AMD driver still exists. Is it substantially different from the open source one? Does it offer anything not included in the open source one?

It does have to do with the overall topic of traffic inspectability. As explained above, a relatively recent change in Android makes applications not trust user store certificates by default, except if an application explicitly opt into tha

Do you know what other thing you've just put into a nailed coffin? The ability to inspect traffic your own device is making. So now Google and other nasty corporations get to decide what they send back to their servers without a possib

declarativeNetRequest still doesn't have capabilities sufficient to reimplement uBlock Origin functionality. Besides that, it puts the power to decide which blocking capabilities are even possible strictly in Google's hands. Giv

Frankly, it doesn't matter why exactly they've broken it. What matters is that it is broken, with no easy way to intercept traffic for all apps. This is an extremely user hostile position from Android and Google which is clear

All of these information sources can be sanitized so that the entropy they give off is reduced. See efforts by the Tor Browser and Firefox on reducing the effect of fingerprinting. Additionally, your MAC address is not exposed over the in

How does Facebook have this magical power for which you provide no explanation? Of course, there is no such magical power. The trick works if you allow it, that is unless you block it with technical means. After all, you are still in contro

If the market can remain irrational indefinitely, is it even being irrational anymore? Words should continue to have meaning.

Are you really being honest when you say you don't see this as bad? I couldn't help but peer into your comment history and notice you also talk about emptiness and loneliness. This, I think, is the price to pay for constant access

I was trying to be deliberately obtuse, it was a good faith question. I guess I just misunderstood what you were trying to say then. But no hard feelings and all the best to you too.

What exactly do you mean by "behavioural science" when you say that BJ Fogg created it? Behaviorism existed for some fifty years before he was even born (if we consider it started with John B. Watson).
