How could Democrats have blocked this? Art thou speaking out thine ass?

I fucking love Linux goddamn.

I never had a Twitter account so when I joined Mastodon I was going in completely inexperienced & had kind of a terrible time.

When BS launched, it immediately made sense to me & I’ve been posting there ever since. It would be nice if it were Federated.

FUCK ALL REPUBLICANS

Die, you fuck.

Mullvad is really for anonymous sessions. It’s meant to blend in with every other Mullvad instance on the Net so it helps make users harder to identify. It’s not geared towards daily use.

On desktop, I switched to Librewolf and installed the Dark Reader add-on.

I will continue using Firefox on Android because I have absolutely no illusions about my privacy on this fucking thing.

Didn’t they also elude to collecting telemetry recently? I know it’s up for some debate but, if true, I’m not sure that’s a thing we can turn off.

I have a theory that this is intentional design.

When products perform smoothly, you don’t interact with them, they become invisible, & Uncle Googs needs you interacting with their products as much as possible.

Thanks to telemetry, Good Ol’ Uncle Googs has millions of hours of behavioral patterns to sift through, provided by all those free Chromebooks for school districts across the US.

So Google know exactly what gets folks engaging with their phones &, I believe, intentionally cause frustration over seemingly simple tasks b/c many many people will forget what they were doing, fix the issue, then get distracted by entertainment apps, doom scrolling, etc.

Dark patterns & behavioral manipulation.

The amount of censorship taking place on that platform every day lately is kind of staggering.
