Alright I now regret using #Firefox. Not because #Mozilla did shoot with the source code. Because its blocker doesn't protect my #privacy. I also regret reading about ADHD on my Android phone on #Chrome or even having a normal #Android phone.

Last week I read about ADHD on the web using Android's stock Chrome, now Google ads is showing me advertisements about ADHD. Down with you Google.

If anyone cares about their privacy, they should avoid #Google like #plague It's a pity still people use the services it offers including the search engine.

The #Web has become a bad and creepy place. For now I'm switching to #LibreWolf.

Edit: Curid from Rust offtopic Matrix room suggested this:

For Firefox it says partial protection is provided and they can fingerprint my broswer.

One of my major motivation to protect myself from #tracking and #profiling is not what is happening today. My main motivation is that I do not know what the future will bring. Maybe #Germany will also end up to become Nazi-ville 2.0.
Imagine what #Hitler and his murderers could have done if they would have had data from the 10 years even before taking over?
Since #Trump and the growth of AfD and all the Orbans, Melonis, LePens, I have confirmation that it makes sense.

Genauso wie der Osterhase seine Eier 🥚 gut versteckt, könnt ihr auch systemweit Werbung und Tracker verschwinden lassen – ganz einfach mit wenigen Handgriffen für #Android und #iOS . Denn wie alte Schokoeier im Gras will die wirklich niemand finden. 👇

#ICE Is Paying #Palantir $30 Million to Build ‘ImmigrationOS’ #Surveillance Platform

In a document published Thursday, ICE explained the functions that it expects Palantir to include in a prototype of a new program to give the agency “near real-time” data about people self-deporting.

"The reason you begin tracking your data is that you have
some uncertainty about yourself that you believe the data
can illuminate. It’s about introspection, reflection, seeing
patterns, and arriving at realizations about who you are
and how you might change."
—Eric Boyd, self-tracker

Call me weird but I'll only get an #EV if I can charge it as fast as I can gas up my Corsa D 1.0 3-door and pay for it in cash (or #Monero if I can get Monero for cash w/o #KYC!) and not have all the "#eCall" #tracking bs in it!

If you’re into #collecting and #tracking your games, check out questlog.app.

Unlike generic tracking services, @questlog is built with love for #gamers, by a passionate #developer who truly understands what we want. It’s sleek, fast, and focused entirely on games, no clutter, no ads, no nonsense.

The developer is doing an amazing job bringing features that actually matter, listening to feedback, and keeping the experience smooth and satisfying.

Let the quest begin❗

The maker of the app he had used was #GeoGroup, the largest #private #prison operator in the #US. Over the past decade, the company has also built a lucrative side business of digital tools—including ankle monitors, smart watches & #tracking apps—to surveil immigrants on behalf of the federal govt.

Those products are now aiding #Trump’s #deportation efforts by providing the whereabouts of unauthorized immigrants to #ICE, acc/to legal aid groups & #immigration orgs.
