Just some guy saying some things
They scrape data indiscriminately; I’m sure any Epstein files publicly accessible on the internet have been added to their databases. Perhaps they’d be filtered out before being used to train models but I’m skeptical they take that level of care with the data.
They’re based in Canada, and given their privacy-focused approach I can’t imagine they’d implement such a feature.
Wouldn’t this just be unenforceable for any Linux distros not directly owned/maintained by a US-based corporation? I don’t really see how they could force a distro to comply, unless they start going after individual maintainers who live in the US.
This is definitely AI, but AI is such a vaguely defined term that it’s basically meaningless.

That would make sense.
I don’t use Play Services and still get push notifications from Signal, so they’re clearly using an alternative implementation.
It’s a sure sign of a healthy non-bubble economy when a random Substack post can cause a stock market crash.
The copyright doesn’t apply to the event of Vance being booed itself, it applies to that specific video recording of it. Sure the video creator is a dick for getting it taken down, but they’re within their legal rights to.
DNS based ad blocking does not block YouTube advertisements.
Sort your data into stuff you absolutely need to keep (personal files and such) and stuff you’d be okay with losing (less important files, device backups, downloads you can redownload, etc). Then only back up the former. As for backup medium, ServerPartDeals often has some pretty good deals on storage; they were selling refurbished 12TB drives for $80 a pop a while back.
Most people aren’t choosing to enable OneDrive; it’s enabled by default, and not obvious how to disable.
Yeah, the rotation was a bit of a surprise to me. Doesn’t seem like Waterfox has a setting to disable that, so I just disabled my browser’s access to the accelerometer and gyros entirely.
