You can't opt-out of Google tracking your phone - Sen. Josh Hawley owns Google - PeerTube on Mastodon.host https://peertube.mastodon.host/videos/watch/f087a756-8500-4246-b863-57d00af45486

@brandon Are we counting aliases made for each online service?
@anornymorse @slimbook @kde@mastodon.technology Ha! I never supported the hamburger button. Facebook made it up without any due process or usability testing and everyone blindly followed them without generating or looking at any data.
@kde@mastodon.technology @slimbook Can I recommend replacing the hamburger buttons for improved usability? https://pocketnow.com/hamburger-buttons

Using Gmail confidential mode is neither secure nor private. As long as Google can read your emails, its privacy promises will always be disingenuous. Here’s why Gmail’s confidential mode isn’t actually confidential: https://protonmail.com/blog/gmail-confidential-mode-security-privacy/

I’ll keep beating this drum: do *not* use smart TVs. Don’t connect them to the Internet. Use them *only* as dumb display devices for other computers. Buy an Apple TV or a Roku or a Fire if you want that kind of functionality, but *do not* use the buggy, exploitable spyware built into a “smart” TV.
