Oh c'est beau ça: µBlock (et PAS µBlock Origin, le seul le vrai, le libre, qu'il faut utiliser) qui intègre un outil de tracking.

Donc non content d'avoir volé le travail du développeur, de faire son beurre sur un projet libre en le copiant & en entretenant la confusion, ils rajoutent un script de tracking.

Les gens, installez µBlock Origin, & surtout pas l'autre.

(et pas Addblock non plus, c'est de la merde, pas efficace, & du racket organisé)

Nice.

"Parralel construction.

You pull the phone location records of everyone near a protest without a warrant (and no intention of using the location data in court) then you dig into them to find something unrelated to the protest you can nail them on.

That way you take out key players without it looking like a political crackdown."

@polychrome @kensanata https://fediverse.network/ perhaps?

OsmAnd definitely has synthesized and recorded voice output.

Also the full version is available on #fdroid. We also have a maps.me fork called #maps without all the trackers ;-).

I was looking at the ars technical on Amaroq and noticed some #ad kept loading crap. I figured surely Safari would use the adblocker I have installed on this iOS device but no such luck and finally I closed the tab in disgust without reading the article. What’s a good #adblocker for iOS? I currently have Adblock Plus installed. Remember, it has to come from the App Store. Thus, no uBlock Origin as far as I can tell.

I think more people in our society need to read this comic: https://existentialcomics.com/comic/190
More technology, surveillance, science or mathematics will never help us develop a sense of morality. We need philosophy for that.

Some of today's library research:

In postmodern ads, people were portrayed as egocentric individuals, led to believe their lives needed to be enmeshed in ticking off iconic consumables from an expanding list of new variants of beloved products or the latest innovation. They were (and are still) led to seek a likeness between themselves & their shopping, or corporations they choose to patronise.

Advertising has advocated the substitution of living with 'having' a lifestyle.

@ghost that sounds like it might be language transfer https://www.languagetransfer.org/
