Unfortunately, this is a Prisoners' Dilemma. If there were no personalized ads, regular ads would soak up all the ad budget and therefore be sustainable. But as soon as there are personalized ads, they quickly outcompete regular ads. H

I run an Arch Linux mirror. [1] The server hosting the mirror is averaging 1 MiB/s (8 Mib/s) outgoing traffic. There's quite a bit of fluctuation since package downloads are a very spotty load, but overall I don't think

If I like neither Apple nor Google, how can I realistically choose a non-Apple non-Google ecosystem? It's getting increasingly difficult to find a bank that does not require one of these 2FA apps that are only available from the Play S

This has been my go-to monospace font ever since I started learning Japanese: It has the nice property that char_width = char_height / 2 and therefore CJK characters (which are always square) don't break the monospace alignment.

If someone wants to use disposable email addresses out of fear of having the service sell or abuse their permanent email address, they will most likely also not be willing to reveal their phone number.

Ok, let's use "spam email" for what you consider spam and add a new category for unsolicited trash from known senders, e.g. "trash email".

This is on a different level than pledge. pledge applies to the whole process. This sandboxing, as far as I understand, would restrict syscall access to individual functions and modules inside a process.
