Here is a privacy thing that seems strange to me.

I buy something from an online store. The connection is https. Secure server. We protect your privacy, says the website. Great!

Once I've placed my order, they send complete details of my order to me by regular email. Unencrypted. The confirmation email includes my name, address, payment method, and the list of what I bought.

How is that protecting my privacy, ffs? And there is no way to opt out of this.

So like, please take this climate strike seriously. If you wouldn't cross a pocket line, don't buy things you don't need. Don't go out to events. Stop turning the gears of capitalism, as best you can, for a week.

I mean what else can you do, y'know? Otherwise you're declining an opportunity to resist oppression to collaborate with it, and damn you'd better have a good reason for that.

Would you replace your existing internet provider with a community-based ISP, assuming that you'd (at the very least) keep the same speed? If so/not, why?

We all know that Google (with Chrome-ium) has at least close to 90% of the browser marketshare on the internet.

Which is your primary browser on your computer?

Remember that Brave, Opera and Edge are Chromium derivatives. I consider Safari to be separate since it's Webkit and not Blink.
