250? Geek Tyrant injects 400 just for marketing and 500+ in total!

I stopped recommending them.

Yeah, but this is about the Internet as a whole not just Gmail IMHO. You need more than that extension to block it then.

I use Privacy Badger by the EFF. They block all kinds of tracking.

Also using Firefox will prevent Browser fingerprinting and such.

Good piece on website security albeit a bit inconsistent. At some point it's not hackers anymore but SEO consultants:

"SEO consultants ... offer customers the ability to have links placed on compromised websites."

I guess BuzzFeed News needs to fire their SEO team, don't they?

"Customer websites" get quickly banned for such things.

This only works for PPP (poker, pills, porn) sites that have a new domain over night when one gets burned.

The WHO says: "The electromagnetic fields produced by mobile phones are classified by the International Agency for Research on Cancer as possibly carcinogenic to humans" https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/electromagn...

"by 2030 nearly 1 in 2 adults will have obesity"

Get up stand up and move. They are talking about you.

I successfully overcame the sedentary "lifestyle" side-effects by training parkour.

Very good question. I'm also interested in a multitude of things and really need "input" as I like call it to stay satisfied.

One way I moderate my information intake is by relying on some types of media and hardware while ignoring others.

For example I never watch TV and I don't own a smartphone to keep my sanity and moderate the onslaught of bad news and redundant fluff.

The evenings are usually "screen free" time when I try to reduce my information intake but also read books on my favorite topics, sometimes several at once.

I also read magazines that only cover topics I care about. I also use crowdsourced filters like HN, Twitter etc. when online.

When you ignore day to day politics, celebrity culture, marketing (which 90% of "content" is about) you end up only consuming what really matters.

That's one of the reasons why I gave up smartphones.

Radiation, addiction and 24/7 workweek were some of the others.

When your phone is smarter than you something is wrong.

You don't have to feel guilty, just make informed choices.

Just giving up and taking deaths for granted is cynical.

For example I went vegan and I feel much better now.

I'm saving the planet while at it without "making sacrifices".

Also handing over responsibility to politicians does not work.

As long as people keep on trashing the planet politicians don't care.

Political parties are only catering to mainstream choices.

Thus you need to start a trend that one day will force politicians to act.

Here's the story without a forced sign up/paywall: https://driving.ca/chevrolet/volt/auto-news/news/what-does-y...

"Dystopic" [sic!] may lead to misunderstandings. Also the article above states that it isn't an actual word.

You can't even pronounce it. People will only hear "this topic" or something like that.

Ideally you reduce the hours you are on call. Even though I'm just a writer most of the time I was forced to be available on Skype, Slack, Flock etc. all the time as a remote worker.

Guess how that impacts creativity and productivity. Exerting control is actually harming your business not the other way around. Create a distraction free work environment.

It's about time tech giants take responsibility for the blood minerals they use.

You can save people's lives by using the Fairphone already. It's free of those.

The Internet was originally created by Darpa to survive a nuclear war.

I'm optimistic it will exist after climate disaster but we may be extinct then.

AI will probably use it then. Who knows, maybe that's even the plan? ;->

Dear NBC editor: It's "topic" but "dystopian".

Yes, see my other comment thread below.

Sure - Debord just didn't mean to only explain things - he wanted to revolutionize them.

Sounds good. Do you plan to support Firefox as well?

I don't use Google spyware - only for testing things.

Really neat. Thank you for taking care of accessibility issues as well.

I don't have Dyslexia but when having migraines I can't read online properly anymore so that will help.

I just wonder whether it's worth the fuss as I have Reader View in Firefox already.

Yeah, blood minerals from Africa are a very common problem.

Cobalt, coltan, tantalum - you name it. We all use them daily.

They have been fueling the war in Congo for over a decade.

You most likely own technology build on child or slave labor minerals.

Thus initiatives like the Fairphone have been born.

Debord is somewhat elitist and difficult to read.

Another situationist author - Raoul Vaneigem - is far more readable.

You can read and download the book here for free: https://antiworld.se/project/references/texts/The_Society%20...

Yeah, yet very different books. Debord is political while Baudrillard is just "postmodernist".

Every German airport with international flights has a "detention centre".

Even though the new airport in Berlin is still not ready the prison has been finished in 2012: https://www.morgenpost.de/flughafen-BER/article108749351/Flu...

Good idea. It actually has been implemented already. You are also not very specific IMHO.

How do I know that after a million users you won't turn into another Mark Zuckerberg like czar?

I'd rather stick with the other attempts: Mastodon, Ello, Diaspora. They all offer good levels of privacy.

I think something like an headline idea and summary, outline, first draft would be the equivalent of 20%/40/80%.

Nah, just prevent dominant corporations like Google to use anti-competitive blocking or redirecting measures.

Vivaldi has to mimic Chrome because otherwise Google throws errors.

It's not that Google is unaware that there are browsers or that Vivaldi is not Chrome.

Fantastic idea. I'm not sure it will work for all kinds of industries, work or tasks though.

It seems it's made for programmers as of now. What about writers? They don't have a demo.

Nobody clicks the bio links. Instagram has "a billion" of users yet traffic from them is non-existent.

They keep users in their walled garden but preventing linking out.

On the open Web you are allowed to link when and where you like. That's a huge difference.
