I dowloaded the Google app, said “what’s this song,” and it just searched Google for the words “what’s this song” instead of listening for humming. Am I doing something wrong? Edit: After tapping the microphone icon, I have to tap the “sear

I don’t think anyone here has mentioned that Firefox is also deprecating FTP.

The Internet Archive is able to save FTP sites. I don’t know if they actively crawl for them, though.

I remember reading about a game developer who was a big time troll/flamer on Usenet for years, and who’s Wikipedia Talk page got so out of hand it had to be courtesy blanked and edit-protected at the highest level. Does anybody remembe

Huh. Hacker News normally shows only the domain of the submission in parentheses. For Twitter it looks like it now shows (twitter.com/user).

This extension hides ads, but doesn’t block them in order to click them. Which means you don’t get any of the privacy benefit uBO offers.

Funny you mention it, because if you search “PS5 teardown” on YouTube right now, the original video is the 13th (!) result. https://web.archive.org/web/20201007230301if_/https://www.yo...

I’m wondering, why not take advantage of this and add the grapefruit furanocoumarins to drugs to make smaller doses more effective?

I don’t understand. Microsoft’s telemetry is very invasive from a privacy standpoint. How does it improve security?

I wish ShutUp10 was open source, considering it pokes around with the registry and system files. Which is why I like Linux. I just don’t have to worry about telemetry at all. Edit: Here’s a comparison of Windows 10 privacy tools. I wish the

Google got fined for just setting the default search engine on Android as Google. At least you could change it. Meanwhile, Windows 10 uses Bing in the search bar and there’s no option to change or disable it. It’s pretty irritation when I s

Also Tesla. The cars run Linux but it took them years before they released any source code.

Most websites use 3rd-party ad networks. To prevent ad fraud, these 3rd-party ad networks require that the ads are served from their own 3rd-party server. This makes it easy for adblockers to distinguish between ad-traffic and content. >

Apparently there is another, similar application called NucleusCoop. Here’s a good comparison of the two: https://www.reddit.com/r/localmultiplayergames/comments/ce8m... Both are free and open source. Nucleus

More context from the parent comment of that thread: I don't have time to work on uMatrix -- it's a project large enough that I would be able to work on it only if I wasn't working on uBO.

I’m late to respond, but yes. Third party analytics allows a centralized entity to track your activity across multiple websites. No matter how privacy friendly Fathom and Plausible claim to be, I would rather not have to trust them. Self-ho
