He/him. No one of consequence. Mostly looking for #shitposts, #pooptoots, and #plums.
I guess I have to type all the hashtag variations so I'm discoverable? #shitpost #pooptoot #shitposting #pooptooting
The Zuck suck is in full swing. In the few short hours since I started using #Threads, #DuckDuckGo has already blocked over 200 data tracking attempts. These include things like "headphone status" and "screen density."
EDIT for clarity: The 200+ attempts *may* have been overcounted as DDG hadn't tooled their VPN for Threads yet.

Since my post about the #DuckDuckGo app and #Threads is still getting lots of attention, I want to be clear about how I actually feel about #DataPrivacy. It's a lot like #recycling. Yeah it's a good thing to protect your own personal data, but if we're being honest, it's not effective on an individual scale. We need good legislation at a national level to meaningfully change the game for the benefit of us all. Until then, no matter how careful you are, you're still being negatively affected.
Sometimes it's totally fine to not finish a project. There's a lot you can learn along the way, and sometimes it's just really enjoyable to work on something. Finishing? It's not always required.
