Right, I didn’t mean to make it sound like uBO was letting stuff through the cracks (it’s actually far more thorough than dns filtering). But the amount of tracking requests that come from outside of the browser and from other devices is

Pi-hole is very easy to set up, and it works so well you can basically forget about it from that point on. Blocking ads is nice, but it’s also a huge boon for privacy. I run uBlock origin on all my browsers, but Pi-hole still blocks 30-50%

What is hate speech? It’s actually very difficult to define. One culture and ideology might come up with a very clear distinction of what hate speech is, but a different culture and ideology might disagree entirely.

Correct, Safari’s content blockers only apply to the Safari app. But Mozilla could use their own content blockers in the Firefox iOS app (which is just a skin of Safari). And yes, Safari’s content blocking is very limited. You couldn’t in

For iOS users wanting similar functionality: use Safari’s content blocker API. The app HTTPS4All uses the same rule set as HTTPS everywhere: https://github.com/bouk/HTTPS4All For script blocking, AdGuard for iOS supp

I know it’s not the same, but other iOS browsers use safari’s content blocking API to achieve a similar effect (e.g. Brave, DuckDuckGo, Onion browsers). They can use the same rule set from HTTPS Everywhere, and can block JavaScript on a per

The ruling seems to have a lot of ambiguity. At what point does a game of skill become a game of chance? What amount of money is considered “excessive?” Is such ambiguity normal for court rulings? (Genuine question - I’m not super familiar

Here’s an article from 2016 about the same team. In this attack, they use the sound of the fans instead of the vibration. The difference is, they would need microphone permissions in infected smartphones, whereas the vibration method can

If I know I’m going to leave a laptop plugged in indefinitely, I would like to be able to set it to 50% battery manually instead of trying to “train” the software to get it right. Most (all?) operating systems lack this ability.

Yes, an ad for their brand of espresso powder, which is the final ingredient. I can’t stand websites like this which have constant fake pop-ups saying “Someone just bought our product!”

If you can capture enough people’s attention, you can profit from it, whether it be from an admission fee or from advertising, or even asking for donations. The original Million Dollar Homepage from 2005 wasn’t just ambitious - it was absur

I don’t think “real news” has ever died - it was always dead. The term “Yellow Journalism” has been around since the late 1800s. I don’t think news that tries to push a narrative is useless. You just have to understand the viewpoint that th

One thing I don’t understand is why Zoom is more popular than Jitsi. Zoom charges a subscription fee for meetings longer than 40 minutes, where Jitsi is free for unlimited use. What does Zoom offer that Jitsi doesn’t?
