#tracking

I never recommended nor used #chrome #browser.

I am always glad to get some ammunition for the discussion.
Among this here, the #uBlockOrigin saga

Chrome hidden #extensions with hidden #tracking code. Ugly.

Das ist EIN Sieg der Wahrheit in Millionen Fällen. Wie sagte schon Konfuzius? Bevor die Wahrheit sich die Schuhe angezogen hat, ist die Lüge drei mal um die Welt gerannt.
Die einzige grundlegende Lösung ist ein VERBOT der kommerziellen antisozialen Plattformen, deren Einkünfte auf der Logik der Erregungsökonomie beruhen.

Call me weird but I'll only get an #EV if I can charge it as fast as I can gas up my Corsa D 1.0 3-door and pay for it in cash (or #Monero if I can get Monero for cash w/o #KYC!) and not have all the "#eCall" #tracking bs in it!

TBH, I think with the #Enshittification of #Cars, companies deserve to die out because noone but #rich #Boomers wants a big & ugly #SuperUselessVehicle (IDGAF if it's a "#Crossover" or #SUV, it's just a shitty and phat car!) that noone can buy or even finance (and even if they can - hello #SubprimeCarLoanCrash on the horizon - shouldn't)!

The maker of the app he had used was #GeoGroup, the largest #private #prison operator in the #US. Over the past decade, the company has also built a lucrative side business of digital tools—including ankle monitors, smart watches & #tracking apps—to surveil immigrants on behalf of the federal govt.

Those products are now aiding #Trump’s #deportation efforts by providing the whereabouts of unauthorized immigrants to #ICE, acc/to legal aid groups & #immigration orgs.

In Feb, he received a message: report to an #immigration office so the #tracking #technology could be updated. When he arrived, federal agents were waiting. They handcuffed him & put him on a vehicle bound for a detention center, where he has been ever since, acc/to an account from his wife & Jacinta González, the head of programs for the advocacy group MediaJustice…. He & his wife declined to be named for fear of harming his #legal proceedings.

Sometimes the internet is really funny - or scary.

The Chrome browser is one example.

While you believe you are browsing the web, Google is browsing you instead.

@marove ich bin auf @torproject / #TorBrowser migriert...

Schon krass: #LG zwingt mich als Nutzer eines seiner Fernsehgeräte zuzustimmen, dass sie mein komplettes Sehverhalten erfassen und an Dritte weitergeben. Wenn ich das nicht tue, darf ich auf diesem Gerät noch nicht mal Netflix starten - für das ich 20 Euro monatlich zahle.

Wie komme ich aus der Nummer raus ohne diesen Fernseher zu schrotten? Und gibt es einen Gerätehersteller, der das nicht auf die gleiche Weise macht...?

Something happens to me occasionally, and I don't know where to put it in the ridiculous - infuriating - preposterous feelingspace. It happened again today.

Backstory: I'm an email geek, who has been running mail servers for three decades, and who has written a lot of mail-handling software. I've worked as a consultant on email systems for companies large and small.

When you run your own mailservers, have deep experience with MTAs, and are a bit of a privacy nut, you might have a tendency to want to know exactly who does what with your email address when you give it to them. For most people, this desire is just a dream; it's not possible with their email system.

Thanks to a technique semi-related to #VERP - variable envelope return-path, a mailing list feature with the qmail MTA - it's possible for email geeks. Basically the idea is that you give a different email address to everyone you deal with, and keep track of who you gave it too. Then, when you receive email, you can tell from the address the email was delivered *to* - one of your many addresses - where they got your address from.

Example:

Say I own the `example.net` domain. I arrange for all email to that domain to come to me.

I decide to order something online from #CrappyTire (ask a Canadian). When the Crappy Tire website asks for my email address, I type in "crappytire@example.net".
