This afternoon's notification.

#scrabble #WordsWithFriends #HooplaIt has crossed my mind to post a fresh screenshot from the App Tracking Protection feature every time it notifies me that it has blocked new tracking attempts (2-3x/day), but I don't have time and it would crowd out other people's posts.

Wow I never thought I'd be interested about smart glasses to be honest, but this makes me VERY interested! 😎

Was mich schon immer an #WriteFreely gestört hat, ist, dass es keine Suchfunktion gibt. Also habe ich nach einer Lösung gesucht und mir eine seitenspezifische #DuckDuckGo #Suche gebaut: ein HTML-Formular, etwas JavaScript und ein paar Anpassungen im CSS. Et voilà, mit #Constraints wird man eben kreativ:

#AI is playing us for a sucker all the time.
I wanted to know which type the grounded yellow plane from the #intro video of #fs2024 is.
As I could not find otherwise for some time I asked #DuckDuckGo AI (a,b,c) and #Startpage Assist (d). Not only did the Artificial Idiot come up with different airplanes every single time - all four answers are wrong.
a) Piper J-3 Cub - nope
b) De Havilland Canada DHC-2 Beaver -nope
c) Boeing Stearman Model 75 - nope
d) Gee Bee Model Z - nopeIn fact it is a #Cubcrafter X Cub (by Asobo). Found out myself yesterday in the sim as I did not choose a #Zlin or the #Wilga as usual for a bush or outdoor flight.*
And it is a fantastic aircraft BTW, albeit not so easy to land - like all taildraggers. 🛩️
* Ceterum censeo: I want the old hangar from #fs2020 back.

Back in the day, we had #deleteFacebook, #deleteMeta, #deleteWhatsApp, and so on.
Some people heeded the call for a while, only to quietly return to Big Tech later on.
Now, many have been jolted awake by our dependence on Big Tech, and another #quitday and other variations are gaining momentum.
Personally, I started that journey years ago.
- From Gmail to #ProtonMail and #Tuta
- From Google to #Searx #Startpage #DuckDuckGo
- From Chrome to #Brave #Mulvad and #LibreWolf
- From MS Office to #LibreOffice
- From Google Drive to #NextCloud and #Synology
- From Facebook to #MeWe and #Mastodon
- From Windows to #Linux
- From WhatsApp to #Threema #Signal #Jami and #Matrix #Element
- From Zoom to #Jitsi and #ProtonMeet
- From Google Translate to #DeeplI’m sure I’m forgetting a few, but there’s a European and open-source alternative for every American Big Tech and closed-source application.
What I’ve noticed is that many people are afraid of what they don’t know and therefore don’t dare to make the switch (completely).
(Some people just don’t give a damn and convenience is all that matters)Any fear is unfounded, and if all of us switches en masse, Big Tech’s power will be quickly broken, and the development of alternatives will proceed much more smoothly and quickly.

Vroeger hadden we #deleteFacebook #deleteMeta #deleteWhatsApp en noem maar op.
Sommigen gaven daar even gehoor aan om later toch stilletjes terug te keren naar Big Tec.
Nu werden velen even wakker geschud door onze afhankelijkheid van Amerikaanse Big Tec en komt er weer een #doeidag en andere varianten op gang.
Persoonlijk ben ik die reis al jaren geleden begonnen.
- Van Gmail naar #ProtonMail en #Tuta
- Van Google naar #Searx #Startpage #DuckDuckGo
- Van chrome naar #Brave #Mulvad en #LibreWolf
- Van MS Office naar #LibreOffice
- Van Google Drive naar #NextCloud en #Synology
- Van Facebook naar #MeWe en #Mastodon
- Van Windows naar #Linux
- Van Whatsapp naar #Threema #Signal #Jami en #Matrix #Element
- Van Zoom naar #Jitsi en #ProtonMeet
- Van Google Translate naar #DeeplIk vergeet er vast nog een paar, maar er is voor elke Amerikaanse en Closed Source toepassing wel een Europees en Open Source alternatief.
Wat ik merk is dat veel mensen bang zijn voor dat wat ze niet kennen en daarom niet (geheel) durven over te stappen.
(sommigen interesseerd het gewoon geen reet en is gemak het enige dat telt)Eventuele angst is ongegrond en als we met heel Europa massaal overstappen is de macht van Big Tec snel gebroken en verloopt de ontwikkeling van alternatieven veel soepeler en sneller.

#TIL that #DuckDuckGo has a pretty clean submission page for suggestion new !bang search shortcuts.
Feeling so lazy today, I just submitted one for #shellcheck wiki error message(https://www.shellcheck.net/wiki/) searches(e.g. "!shck SC2067").

I stopped using Google services a while ago.
I’ve written in the past about my #GoodbyeGoogle story. All part of me trying to leaving Big Tech behind.
I’m getting there.
I have a domain through which I run my own instance of Nextcloud, to replace Google Drive.
The other domain I set up to use for email and other services (albeit it’s via Apple).
In fact, apart from YouTube, my Google account is unused for anything else.
So, why have I received an email from Google advising me to verify my own domain as my recovery email?
How is Google even aware of this?
Rhetorical question, I suppose!
Here is my current tech stack:
* Storage - #Nextcloud
* Photos - Apple Photos
* Email - My own domain (currently via Apple Mail)
* Maps - Apple Maps
* Browser - #Vivaldi (MacBook) #quichebrowser (iPhone and iPad)
* Search - #DuckDuckGo
* Social Media - #GoToSocial

I often hold back on disclosing privacy tips because privacy advocates are so far outnumbered that it seems more likely that privacy adversaries will take action to thwart or shut down the angle / hack or facility.
Among the tiny demographic of privacy proponents almost none of them are committed to privacy. Trapped in the #TyrannyOfConvenience as articulated by Tim Wu. A majority of the so called pro-privacy crowd are ppl that complain as they login to Facebook (and make excuses for using it) ... or they blindly accept deceiving & compromised privacy theatre tools so long as they don’t require a change of habit. E.g. brainwashed to think #DuckDuckGo is aligned with the privacy movement. No, #DDG is just exploiting fools.
The sad state of it is evident simply by stepping into a #threadiverse c/privacy community, where a majority of posts come from accounts hosted on nodes like #lemmyWorld & #shItjustWorks even if the community itself is on a defederated node.
It’s hard to imagine privacy movements making much progress when the orgs that claim to have a privacy mission will litter their site with FB and Twitter then reverse proxy it through CF.

CW: random rambles on search engines and lazy users
Having used a search engine that has a monthly limit on the number of queries you have has done wonders in making me realise just how stupid / lazy mainstream search engines like #google, #bing or even #duckduckgo have made us.
Let me give you an example.. when was the last time you’ve searcher for something you knew Wikipedia or Dict.cc or StackOverflow has and instead of just going to that page and searching there you fired up a search with your default search engine only to then find that page in their results and click it?
Yeah.. see, that's my point.
We rely a lot more on search engines to show us the result we know we want anyway instead of just going to the source.
And no, I'm not saying search engines have no use - they're perfectly valid tools if you're unsure where / what your answers are, but if you already know where to get them they're just a lazy means of not having to type a url.
P.S. since you read this far - this is just a one-up to back when people were raging at FaceBook because “the link didn't work anymore” while what had happened was that "facebook" just wasn't the #1 hit on the google search results page anymore.

Everyone says in response to questions says 'google it'
Am I the only person who doesn't use Google for search?
Why are people so lazy and accept all browser defaults and never change search engines?
Reminds me of the time Microsoft were forced to offer Microsoft choice to select an alternative browser. That turned out well for them didn't it?
