Updating talk slides so you all get to be horrified along with me at the current Starlink numbers.

There are now 7,652 Starlink satellites in orbit (>500 more than there were in February, when I last updated these particular slides).

2-3 Starlinks per day are burning up in the atmosphere. That's a lot of weird metal in the atmosphere (and undoubtedly lots of random bits getting to the ground too).

Starlink is a stupidly wasteful and dangerous way to use orbit.

TURNED OFF LOCATION TRACKING? NICE TRY.
Meta and Yandex still found you.
Millions of websites run hidden code to ID Android users - even when tracking is off.
You're not anonymous. You're inventory.

Det er blevet forbudt at levere cookie-popups, hvor man giver tilsagn til reklametrackere i EU i ny kendelse (ser jeg først nu). Cookie-popups skal fremover:

- kun have ægte tilvalg (opt-in) uden forudvalgte tjekbokse (i dag er det ofte omvendt)
– være præcis og transparent om hvilke data der indsamles og hvad de bruges til.
– ikke anvende "legitime interesser" som grund for reklamesporing

Det kan blive et kæmpestort skridt mod et mere reklamefrit internet!

I found this #throwback from a few years ago. I'm thankful to whoever made it.
