Also I don’t know anything about adblockers but I was lucky enough to have a device supported by www.divestos.org and I think the OS defaults to a DNS that ignores ads somehow. But I’m not sure! I just know I get WAY less spammy ads than friends do :P

Nice to see #Google hamstring themselves; they’re seen as a #search engine benchmark, so this makes it easier for #DuckDuckGo (which uses #Bing to provide it’s search answers, if I understand correctly) to edge up on them in the rankings… #DDG #searchEngine #Alphabet #surveillanceCapitalism

Damn. I thought #kbin was where the cutting edge of information dissemination was, but #warThunder has a whole #wikipedia page dedicated to how it’s absolutely crushing it. Who knew #MMORPGs were the future?!

For those who haven’t witnessed anything re. information classification or the functioning of militaries or governments or other great organs of state, I refer you to the screenwriter Jonathan Lynn’s words immortalised by the character Sir Humphrey in Yes, Minister:

“The Official Secrets Act is not to protect secrets but to protect officials”

I regret deeply I cannot remember which episode. I also refer you to Yes, Prime Minister s02e02 (dailymotion link) which illustrates something about leaks, and their investigation and prosecution. Not to mention how the #press works in promulgating these things! I really can’t recommend it highly enough.

(boosts are most welcome, as I suspect most folks give little thought to such things beyond snap-judgements of ‘right’ or ‘wrong’)
