'@SDF' should work to bring people to the right account.

Have you found something that works better?

I'm running LibreWolf unmodified on a Linux box, and this is my result using a site that checks this information.

It's for people who want to keep their network traffic private from say their ISP or other sniffers.

On the desktop, I use Whonix which does utilize the Tor Network. That being said, I rarely use the Tor browser outside of it.

I find myself waking up in an even stranger world than the one I left the night before.

It's one thing to understand that while surfing the Internet you expose yourself to being monitored, it's quite another to take a walk around the park and have someone trying to 'sniff out' your movement and potentially your identity.

Are there people who don't really understand the implications of this?

Google and Apple have built out their own private 'little internet' by turning the users of their products into their own personal nodes that they have access to and control.

BBM, email and that status light ushered us into a new ‘interconnectedness’. It started the process of making cell phones indispensable parts of our lives.

They'll do this kind of sh*t, but they won't include chargers with their Pixel phones so that they appear to care about the environment. These large corporations are just trying to hoodwink people.

Most Americans don't want to think for themselves. They would rather someone else do that heavy lifting for them.

However, it's important that people have the freedom to reason for themselves and make choices accordingly without some governmental entity mandating a certain thought trajectory. People shouldn't surrender such fundamental human freedoms to their government.

First time hearing them. I like it ;).

I don’t see why it should be an issue. It would be nice to see some information content from shows, and it could provide more interest and publicity for the channel.

Seriously, I've been looking around for a Lemmy instance that I felt particularly drawn to/that shared common interests and sdf.org literally fits that bill. I'll probably be lurking more than posting, but I really like this place. Thanks for approving my request!
