@ataraxia937@fosstodon.org i wonder what data they have. With things like No Script Security Suite the internet is blissfully ad free. What would I see if the ads turned on? If I bump into a friend, talk about something, would Google have enough info to advertise it to me?
As it is, no ads, no friends, no worries...

Why do conservatives think they get to have a say in any of this? Just because you left the GOP doesn't turn you into a thought leader on the left. Shut up and get to the back of the line. If you knew how to beat Trump, wouldn't you have already done that? https://twitter.com/MaxBoot/status/1227673455883149312
Check out a new #podcast by @mysterio covering policies put forth by candidates for the US presidency over at https://anchor.fm/meepac/
The idea is to see what the written policies actually say since the debates and 2min interviews aren't enough time to get into it. Not to mention #MayorPete and #Klobuchar notoriously waste their time saying nothing.
Episodes 1 and 2 are a reading of #MayorPete's #M4AWWI
Finian and their new leshen heart, powering their new wooden body.
I just discovered #AntennaPod has per feed playback speed settings. These fine developers get it. #podcast
@immychan sounds like you chose the American green option. I usually see tea in individual foil pouches, in a box, in plastic wrap. 🙁
@Main_Tomato@uwu.social i think this is the wrong idea. USB is quite flakey and mandating it stifles innovation. The article I saw on this said that it was to combat cable/charger electronic waste. They could have made it so USB charged devices were not bundled with cable/charger.
Further, if the real goal was reducing e-waste, they could have mandated a right to repair and documentation for installing OSes to give devices use beyond planned obsolescence.
@InternetKevin popular vote or SDEs? 😔
The GNU Free project shut down in 2002, following their assessment of the technical infeasibility of secure internet voting.

"...the more I have coded, researched, discussed and read, the more I’ve realised that rather than encourage the use of electronic voting techniques (even if I only advocate the use of Free Software) I’m much better off focusing on the dangers all such technologies present...”
Human... maybe?
