@kytta Good luck Nikita! Also, it doesn't look ugly, in fact, it is amazingly nice 👍

⚠️  #Google rolls out a so-called #privacy tool that replaces one form of trackers with another.

🔎  Don't use Google's proprietary and distributions of #Android if you want to avoid #SurveillanceCapitalism.

Android launches yet another way to spy on users with “Privacy Sandbox” beta

Rather than match iOS's tracking limits, Google built an additional tracking system.

@jon the way you inform people and advocate for more ethical software is amazing! I fully appreciate.

Also, sorry if this has been discussed before, I'd like to learn how does vivaldi, simply, make money? For some foss projects, it is known, with contributions, donations, etc. What about vivaldi? I'd appreciate any links or resources to get further info.

Thanks!

If you’re wondering about Mastodon’s impact, Twitter is now automatically marking links to mastodon as “sensitive” (aka dangerous) and forcing users who get them to “appeal” the claim. In case Elon didn’t seem desperate enough for you already…

It’s worse than that.
I read a while back that factories that stick googly eyes on their robots have fewer accidents and injuries, seemingly because “thing has eyes” is enough to make human workers’ brains give the robots more attention and personal space.
They were working on a system to use artificial eyes to telegraph what the robot is going to do, but it turned out that’s not necessary. Just make it a little cute and fewer people walk into its workspace.

If you dont feel like getting a new one, just blow into the mouse 😂. I know sounds weird, but been fixing the issue for 15-20 minutes for me
