It would be a sign of health in our societies if people stopped using the services of these leaches.

I enjoyed the read. I’m a fastmail user and I didn’t pick it for real privacy but because it’s not Google. It’s better than Gmail, more features, looks better, faster etc.

I don’t know how any email provider can provide real privacy since they have to scan for spam, malware, and so on.

Fastmail is part of the 5 eyes surveillance network as well: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five_Eyes

Porn sites must have government health warning in Texas from September 1st (www.techdirt.com)

Porn sites must have government health warning in Texas from September 1st::Just when we didn’t think the state of Texas could get any more wacko on tech policy, this latest bill really suggests otherwise. House Bill 1181 is an age verification measure that is similar to what we’ve seen in the state legislatures across other...

Porn is just not naked humans. It’s not like art. And the behavior in those movies rubs off on teenage guys, so they start to behave like in the movies.

I mean, I still think adding health warning is stupid, but at the same time, we can’t pretend porn doesn’t influence people.

You are actually wrong about that. Do some web searches on it and you will see.

I think because people’s egos are more fragile than ever these days. Being wrong is like end of the world.

I installed it in VirtualBox because I wanted to try if a neovim plugin worked with it.

The most awful experience ever. It’s so bad it’s tragic, and screams surveillance late stage capitalism. If people don’t notice that, it’s because they have slowly become used to it under the windows regime.

I think there will be two webs if this goes through.

One corporate web filled with surveillance, ads, forced use of approved operating systems and software, no ad blockers etc. This is the one all people who don’t care will use.

Then you will have another web where servers do not implement this shit. You are free to use any operating system, plugins, etc. The servers will be run by individuals. It’s the corporate free web that many of us actually want. It will have stuff like Lemmy and Mastadon, and probably some kind of a web search since the main search engines will all not be here I assume. New software technologies will evolve here.

As long as they don’t put this shit on router and network level, it’s possible to escape it by not using the ordinary web. But ofc we will have to use it to some degree at work, probably.

Nerds who are aware of this ignoring Google doesn’t make a difference.

Make noise about them instead. Bring up articles about who they actually are and what they are trying to do.

But sure, also stop using them if you are still using that shit. I don’t, there are tons of alternatives.
