Full stack developer and privacy advocate. I like to keep the mentality, if you can program one language well, then you can program in any language!
You can use Aegis and/or Yubico Authenticator instead, that’s what I do.
Never give up,
each eye you poke out is one less they can use for data collection.
It’s a slow process and they’ll grow more eyes,
but the less they have on you,
the more private you’ll be.

You can ditch YouTube,
without actually ditching YouTube content,
through a privacy respecting alternative frontend:

My favorite ones:
Currently at 30ish hours and still enjoying it.
Reminded me that Bethesda does release some great / huge games.
Albeit quite bugged at release,
but since they (usually) embrace the modding scene, lots of this can be / has been patched and even improved by the community.
The Next Gen update is a stupid cash-grab though, and imo should have never happened…
An official modpack would have been much better.
My “nExT gEn” update experience:
FYI, most mods I installed are from:
Correct, ChatGPT is proprietary spyware.
If the interface would support self hosted (local/offline) LLMs, then I’m sure people would be much more interested.
Suyu is the most popular + actively developed afaik.

They host their code on their own Forgejo instance:
https://git.suyu.dev/explore/repos
Which is more DMCA proof then Github/Gitlab.
I hope ForgeFed will go into production soon,
then we can synchronize the code in between multiple Forgejo instances in a federated fashion.

How do you think news sites earn money?
They do not provide that content for free,
you are their product of which they benefit.
I use NoScript,
which tells me about each JavaScript piece a website has, most if not all of them contain trackers (= data collection).
Each article,
links to a news site,
which is riddled with data trackers,
which collects info about you,
which is sold.
In addition the sites contain advertisements.
Only these 2:
Because they:
Citra, internal resolution x9,
and you’ve got yourself an early access to this :)
No need to pay Nintendont, the law-suit company that makes games on the side, again for a game you already bought in the past.
Points that can help them change to FOSS:
Sites that can help them find FOSS alternatives:
In my experience it’s extremely hard to make someone not interested in software to try out new FOSS apps though…
Human Centipede,
that shit is banned in a few countries for a reason…

Imo cuz people are too PC (Politically Correct) buthurt lately.
I’d even flip the tables, and call it racist if you won’t allow other races to dress up / admire your own race.
Ofc doing it to make fun / be a dick about other races is not okay.
Hope these will help with opting out for data collection / informing yourself about it:
