What is a nifty little feature modern gadgets have lost?
For me it’s the notification light you used to find on older phones, was particularly good to know if your phone was charged without picking it up
Privacy.
Have you tried not shitting with the door open?
That’s funny. Every time somebody says “If you have nothing to hide, what are you worried about,” I reply, “Do you shit with the door open?”
But now the door isn’t just open. It feels like Uncle Sam is pissing between your legs.
Yes we all have an uncle like that. Mine was Jimmy Savile
Not just Uncle Sam, but every tech company too
Yeah anyone thinking it's only the government spying is revealing their age and/or their biases.
Uncle Sam doesn't even need to spy. They just get the data from the corporation that spies on us now for their own reasons.
Both are a problem.
I'm more concerned with privacy than most, but I do in fact shit with the door open. When I'm at home I mean.
Well. Now we know what kind of porn Uncle Sam is into.
Isn’t that why American stalls have those big gaps?
My cat does not allow it.
But if I close the door how will people know the bathroom is occupied?
Try to let go of Google everything. Start by ditching Chrome and Chromium based browsers
I switched to duck duck go who knows how many years ago. Haven’t looked back.
Can’t even remember when I started using Firefox, but that was probably around the time when Opera became popular. Before Crome existed, I was already on FF and never regretted staying there. At that point, I was already somewhat aware of privacy matters, so switching to Chrome seemed completely stupid to me.
Same, but I find for about 1% of sites I have to load them in chromium. Just works much better
It was the same thing with IE back in ancient times. A popular browser violates web standards so many sites were designed with that rogue browser in mind. If you use a browser that actually follows the standards, some sites just won’t work properly for you.
