If you like Firefox Containers then you might want to check out this fork. It's very nice.

"Fork of Multi-Account Containers that adds transition rules, which let you choose the container to open a page based on the opening container. It also adds other improvements to reduce papercuts and unwanted prompts."

Hi, I'm a university student on informatics and recently I've been getting interested in #ai and its applications to improve education. I don't know exactly where to start, can anyone give me some advice?

Adblocking isn't unethical. Covering your website in trackers, spying on users, and compromising their security to make a buck is.

I really care about privacy, that's why I use linux, I won't use gmail, and I have never had a facebook account.
Oh, my home interface? I have an alexa and smart meter with apps running everything..

whenever i see someone ask a question about computers that i feel is obvious, rather than saying READ THE MANUAL DO IT YOURSELF or HOW COULD YOU BE THIS UNINTELLIGENT i just explain how to do the thing, thus giving people a good experience with the community instead of making people associate linux users with smug, condescending, self-righteous asses

I wrote down some thoughts about #35C3 and why this year's congress resonated with me: https://spacekookie.de/blog/hacking-is-political/

If you didn't yet know, Google is datamining GMail etc for purchase confirmation emails amongst other things and aggregating it for their own purposes in an extremely detailed way.

(Everything you purchased with order ids, detailed billing details, VAT, including subscriptions etc)

Do not believe a single word about how this information is kept private. There is zero reason to build a system to aggregate this and then not use it to make money out of.

The other day, I got into a discussion with a #blockchain/anarchist enthusiast. He said a number of silly things (like government *requires* taxation), but the big silly was his claim that blockchain made #anarchism possible and government unnecessary. 1/11

Now that the discourse around #Facebook begins to implicitly accept that it's declining or collapsing, it's become a sure thing. To help accelerate the decline, remind your friends and family of the services that Facebook owns that they should avoid along with the social network: #Instagram, #Whatsapp.
Remind them that #Google are just a more powerful Facebook.
Before they migrate to a new silo, and a new master.. let them know something new is growing over here on the Fediverse.
