      I Gave a Bounty Hunter $300. Then He Located Our Phone
      from Motherboard
      T-Mobile, Sprint, and AT&T are selling access to their customers’ location data, and that data is ending up in the hands of bounty hunters and others not authorized to possess it, letting them track most phones in the country.

    These plutocrats hide their evil deeds behind the veil of charity and "development". When will the world see them for what they are?

    Most likely, justdial will have some restrictive copyright license preventing people from doing so. But, I don't know what license they use. You'll have to check.

    justdial has switched to OpenStreetMap. Probably because they have to pay for Google Maps.

    So, the fact that my main e-mail client (Mailpile) and my social media (Mastodon) are both browser-based means that I cannot easily open random links coming my way through these channels in a separate cube, using porcupine: https://micahflee.com/2016/06/qubes-tip-opening-links-in-your-preferred-appvm/

    This is less than ideal. Why does everything have to be browser-based these days.

    Wow, nice! I too noticed the improvement in codecs, but never paused to think whether the improvements in streaming were due to improvements in codecs or my bandwidth.

    There may be a genuine human need for videos. But, I don't have a clue why websites need to be as bloated as they are.

    I have been completely removed from Facebook for a full year. It has been the best year in recent memory. OBSERVATIONS:

    1) I'm still "connected" to current events. I'm just not bombarded with a thousand "rage-bait" rants about it.

    2) I'm still connected with everyone that matters. We've shared the responsibility of staying in touch. Sometimes it's on me to reach out, sometimes it's on them. The people who haven't kept up with me, were just a relationship of ceremony and convenience.

    3) I'm substantially less depressed. Surprising no one, I guess. It didn't cure depression, but it alleviated that which it brought: A lot.

    4) I'm still super social online. I have community here and a few other places. We do things together, and don't just try to whip ourselves into a fury.

    5) I've gained a meaningful perspective: *MY* perspective. Getting away from the manipulative pieces of those social media sites has given me enough clarity to be, well... "me."

    YMMV

    @fsi Awesome! What a great initiative :)

    PS. Can we please start calling people “people” and not “users”. “User” is an othering. Silicon Valley and surveillance capitalists are extractive corporations and have users. In ethical technology, we are people and we design and develop for our ourselves and for other people. https://ind.ie/ethical-design

    The BJP promised to junk Aadhaar during the last elections, but once they won, they did the exact opposite. If they make the same promise again, I wonder if people will fall for it.

    "The old public distribution system was imperfect; full of pilferage and corruption. But at least people knew they were dealing with: their names were in a register that would match a ration card that they possessed. What Aadhaar does is bewildering for many Indians and the bewilderment increases as we go down the economic ladder."

      Junk Aadhaar to win in 2019
      from Tribuneindia News Service
      Travelling through the election-bound states of Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh, I found two issues were repeatedly flagged by the poor: notebandi and Aadhaar.

    For the holidays, you could say thank you to some of the people who write free software you use, especially software that isn't hugely popular.

    Those of us who write little-known software may go for months without hearing from a user, and it can be a little de-motivating.

    Hearing from someone who actually uses one's software gives an energising jolt that can carry one through several weeks of darkness and cold and wet.

    striking the right balance between usability for beginners and generic interfaces for advanced users is a challenge.
