My point was about how business interests between China and Africa lead to situations that put African states in compromised positions. You simply cannot put your trust esp in networking equipment in the Chinese government. Business or not.

Were it not for docker, I probably would have never learned about Linux. I'll share why. I was excited to find docker. It was neat and could be setup to update your applications without manual interaction. So I had it run my media serv

This is the cost of doing business with China. More and more African governments continue to look to the Big Red for development loans. These intertwined interests lead to compromised decisions like these. Favour the recommended Chinese cor

The problem I have with YouTube recommendations is that it keeps suggesting me MOST of the big content providers MOST of the time. Sometimes I want to see a video from that indie creator I subbed to a few months back, even if just to catch

Not saying YouTube's recommendation algorithm is perfect but you could try to interact with the feedback popups. That seems to clear up stuff I don't need on my 1st page. If all else fails, create a new Google account for separate

Exactly. Seems to be a trend at major corporations like Google. Create a fire, create enough noise to get your department noticed, extinguish it. Earn your paycheck.

I know Twitter does this. Also saw someone mention Facebook asked for the same when they tried to delete their account. It's a mad mad world out there.

Firefox's relationship with Google is a Rubik's cube of its. Mozilla takes way too much of Google's search money for them to stand up to Google. [0] If only another investor could save Firefox from the clutches of Google'

Short of installing a third-party application like smartyoutube or vanced, you are not going to be successful in blocking YouTube ads. YouTube caught up with dns filtering ad-blockers and started placing their ads in the same domain as the

Not a bad idea. Wonder how long they have hidden this add-on since this is the first time I'm hearing about it having been in existence for over an year now. Though for some reason I still don't trust Google to keep their word. I

Again you keep referring to DoT and DoH which I insist do not encrypt your dns queries from your ISP. They may offer added security but do not keep your requests private. ODoH attempts to keep your requests private from the resolver only. A

I don't think you understand how DNS works. DoT and DoH should not be confused for encrypted DNS. Encrypted dns is still a myth to most users. Major resolvers do not support it since it directly conflicts with with their data collectio

Misleading title. Apple devices are not anywhere near ready to utilize this dns protocol. Apart from that, yeah let's shift our dns trust to one of the biggest data resolvers! The irony... Encrypted dns might be already in use by gover

The big bucks allows them to stave off any competition & maintain regional dominance. I'm aware both Google & Facebook have portions invested in Jio. Maybe they need some of their expertise in extracting value out of this data.

Certainly did not mean to define data as a commodity. But rather a valuable resource. How valuable it is depends as you pointed out, is what type of data & who's hands is it in. India has a large growing population of youth who are
