alexa! install an oligarchy!

badblock has an amazon list :)

spacex and starlink need to be the next to go.

my ublock lets me block all the advertisers for more than a year on reddit

let them both destroy each other

im glad i don’t use google anymore

invest in community run broadband instead

bye bye signal just deleted it.

don’t need to support a pro kremlin app

it’s not a shitty take; google signed a contract with mozilla and google should have to honour it.

if you want mozilla to be less reliant on outside income… DONATE TO THEM.

i mean it’s just because you can grant websites location data and toggle telemetry.

and unlike dennis nedry, he didn’t have to get killed by a dinosaur to do it.

librefoxlibrewolf is very good; it comes with ublock and various other privacy features pre-installed, i’ve been leaning toward them more just because they embraced mastodon more. mullvad also has one.

i typically go between firefox nightly and librefoxlibrewolf.

edit: oops mistyped the name, thanks @KumaSudosa@feddit.dk

GL-AX1800 router with mullvad wireguard vpn config and adguard

switch to firefox (or a fork of firefox like librewolf).

vivaldi just uses chrome’s web store (there’s a discussion on the forums to build their own extension store but no movement yet: https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/91160/vivaldi-s-own-extension-store/20)

can’t believe the homophobic crypto nut would also be a right wing loon

“We hate that our CEO keeps getting called out and slammed by our followers so we’re gonna stick our fingers in our ears”

Also good time to remind everyone Tuta exists :) https://tuta.com/

I hate AI but on the other hand I love how Deepseek is causing AI companies to lose billions.

if you’re capable and have a server, i recommend spinning up pixelfed and friendica instances for your parents and families. they’re probably the simplest fediverse apps to install too.

it’s one thing for you to move, it’s another thing to be able to get your parents and family to move over.

misskey is the closest thing to a federated tumblr. i dont know what the benefit of a federated ao3 would be since most fics are rather long and most wouldn’t fit in in a microblog format.

besides ao3 is great as it is and they deserve support
