I hope fanboys don't start defending Apple / Google for their privacy measures etc. (esp. Apple) Both platforms are notorious (Apple more so due to its closed nature imo) and defending any is just weird.

Unpopular opinion: Android is more privacy focussed than iOS. Especially because during first setup, it clearly asks you to opt-out of services you do not wish to participate in. Also much more transperent.

Some of the smartest people working in best industries defending a brand clearly where it is doing something wrong, is bewildering.

You also have to feed the cows, which requires food. And by normal concensus only 10% of energy is transferred to the next species. And producing food for cows causes more damage than making same food for humans. (Deforestation, Soy plants,

This is highly inaccurate. The author is using Plausible via a proxy but Google Analytics directly (a very biased way to do things). Secondly, PiHole, uBlock origin and most other adblockers also block Plausible analytics (there are discuss

It is also not just Google. Google atleast curates the content, but has anyone used MSN or Edge (that comes with Windows)? It has all news stories copied word to word from other news websites. Its worse than AMP. The publication name is not

A big problem I have seen with Pi in India is that it overheats and throttles heavily because the the temperature is usually high. With additonal cost of a good power supply, monitor, HDMI cable, its not worth it. IMO a better device will b

I mean this is amazing! But, doesn't this increase competition for any other advertiser who doesn't have all historic data and algorithm Facebook has had.

This is just increasing competition in the search space. Any new search engine who is growing big will also have to pay to just "link" another website. And in most cases not be able to afford it. This is not how I imagine the inte

It's not just Google Analytics, but any other alternative be it plausible, Matomo, or any other JS analytics solution. I would also say cloudflare doesn't count uniqu visitors accurately. Also recently there is big uptick in bots

So, if any public code is allowed and we let it slip through. Google can say for example see all text on Google Docs and __sell__ a solution that generates text for you. Is this allowed? What about images?

They are probably using enterprise version of Google Analytics, where data isn't associated with activity on Google and not used for advertising.
