Mostly because of the amount of good quality content. But as I said, I’ve moved to radarr/sonarr so I interact with less and less.

There is this torrent site I use that likes to use javascript to redirect to various malicious websites on every single click. After reaching the desired amount of clicks, it start behaving like a normal, “legit” website. Just of out curiosity I checked few other torrent websites and got the same result. It got so annoying that I’m using radarr and sonarr to look for torrents.
I know what dns poisoning is but it usually happens on so called legit sites. Pirate sites serve you malware out of the box.
Somehow “legit” sites won’t try to install malware on my laptop. So, I take more regular ads over piracy crap.
It’s a complex and polarising issue. The main problem is that some, sometimes most, of immigrants don’t want to assimilate. They are creating ghettos, don’t respect local laws. Other issue is that governments prefer to spend tax payer money for accommodating immigrants instead of solving nation’s issues.
I wouldn’t limit immigration per se. I would limit unchecked illegal immigration and spend more money on assimilating immigrants that want to contribute to a country they moved into.
Privacy means that no one can see your data, and only you can decide who can see it. Anonymity means that everyone can see your data but no one can match you with the data.
As for the question, yes, I would more than happy when people could understand the risk of giving up the privacy. But I’m afraid that not many people would understand the message carried by those books.
In a perfect world, data collected by companies would be used to improve user experience. But we don’t live a perfect world and nowadays if a company doesn’t provide yearly income from investment it goes under. And to keep the numbers up, companies screw its users.
Ok, but why? And to be clear, I’m not against what you wrote, just wondering about people’s motives.
Don’t want to be a devil’s advocate here but nowadays it’s left-wing weirdos that use publicly available data to cancel people they don’t agree with. Let’s keep personal political views out of this discussion.
As for the first paragraph, I vaguely remember reading about this. And this is a great example.
I use SMS and good old phone calls. You would be surprised how much people freak up when you call them. For work I use Slack, sometimes Teams. And on rare occasions, Messenger to talk to some family members.
edit Forgot about emails. I use it for more planned communications.

TikTok is not the problem. The problem is “I have nothing to hide” mindset. People don’t care about privacy because “ignorance is bliss”. Some people are just not aware about risks of giving up on privacy and other put continence over privacy. Until the general perception of privacy changes, apps like TikTok will thrive.
I never had issues posting on Lemmy when using vpn. If Lemmy starts blocking my vpn I will stop using Lemmy.
This is the hill I’m going to die on. I will continue to ingest text or die trying.
VSCode is open source and yet Microsoft still pushes telemetry crap into it.
Unfortunately I cannot find this article about patterns in prime numbers. I remember it was pretty technical but apart from the general idea I’m not able to provide anymore details.
There’s nothing wrong with proprietary software as long as it’s respects user’s privacy and doesn’t do crazy licensing stuff.
And the solution for world hunger is to distribute food from rich countries into the poor countries. Here, I’ve fixed the famine issue. Do you get my point? It’s easy to say what to do but when it comes to the details, all those preachers fail short in giving the real solution to the real problem. As I said before, this is just a rant about how bad modern world is.
I think we have read a different blog post. There was something about Google’s antitrust thingy and that all big tech should be regulated but no straight solution were given.
Again, I agree withe the thesis but honestly, anyone who’s focused on privacy would tell you the same but in way fewer words.
BTW, similar issue was raised in The Age of Surveillance Capitalism. Pretty good read.
I don’t listen to podcasts but to answer this question
Companies are forced to increase revenue every year. It means the amount of crap will just keep on increasing.
