Time to stop using Chrome (arstechnica.com)
submitted 1 year ago by Owl@hexbear.net to c/technology@hexbear.net

Google is now rolling out a system where Chrome directly tracks your activity and shares its summary with advertisers.

Also Firefox is faster as of like two months ago.

It takes five minutes to switch browsers, and the difference is so little that you'll often forget you did it.

i have a 4tb sdd with everything i ever had or saved from every computer i've ever had. i am right now paying for a cloud service to keep it backed up, just in case, because there's lots of stuff on there i would be very sad to lose

but i'm sorting, adding, deleting, renaming, etc on the drive and the backup service isn't flexible enough to keep up. i don't need it exactly backed up all the time but i'd like to be able to back up the changes more often. also i can't really afford the cloud service anymore anyway

i have a 4tb external hard drive that could keep it backed up safely as long as my house doesn't burn down in a forest fire. my question is, is there a way to make it easy to keep a external drive the same as my internal ssd when i want without copying all the files using copy paste? i'd like it to prioritize the changes on the ssd so if i delete a file on the ssd it will get rid of it on the backup (the cloud service doesn't do that, it only adds to the data on the cloud.)

i'm sure it's pretty easy but i don't know how. i'm using windows 10 right now. if i NEED to use linux i sometimes boot mint on a usb, but i'd rather get it working on windows 10 because i'll be using windows 10 until they stop supporting it (not enough free computer time rn to make the switch)

Meta has a Palestine problem. If you use Facebook or Instagram, you’ve probably seen the censorship yourself. Dena Takruri uncovers an internal culture of censorship, intimidation and fear within Meta, the parent company of Instagram and Facebook.

She speaks to Meta employees who’ve tried to fix the problem or speak out, and say they were silenced or even fired. She also investigates Meta leaders’ deep ties to Israel, which may explain why it’s suppressing and censoring Palestine content for billions of users around the world.

China's National Computer Virus Emergency Response Center (CVERC) has doubled down on claims that the threat actor known as the Volt Typhoon is a fabrication of the U.S. and its allies.

The agency, in collaboration with the National Engineering Laboratory for Computer Virus Prevention Technology, went on to accuse the U.S. federal government, intelligence agencies, and Five Eyes countries of conducting cyber espionage activities against China, France, Germany, Japan, and internet users globally.

It also said there's "ironclad evidence" indicating that the U.S. carries out false flag operations in an attempt to conceal its own malicious cyber attacks, adding it's inventing the "so-called danger of Chinese cyber attacks" and that it has established a "large-scale global internet surveillance network."

"The U.S. military base in Guam has not been a victim of the Volt Typhoon cyber attacks at all, but the initiator of a large number of cyberattacks against China and many Southeast Asian countries and the backhaul center of stolen data."

Kape Technologies is a major player in the online privacy world, one of the three giants that collectively control the market. It owns many of the world’s top VPNs, including ExpressVPN, CyberGhost, Private Internet Access, ZenMate, Intego Antivirus, and a host of tech websites that promote its products.

This begins with its owner, Teddy Sagi. Born in Tel Aviv, the tycoon, who previously spent time in prison for financial crimes, is estimated to be worth $6.4 billion, making him among the top ten richest Israelis.

Sagi has a long history of working closely with the IDF and is rumored to be extremely close to Israeli intelligence. In 2019, he donated $3 million to fund hundreds of academic scholarships for discharged Israeli soldiers. “It is a debt of honor for us and for me personally to express gratitude and appreciation that all of Israel’s citizens owe to you,” Sagi said at the Friends of the IDF Gala. He also made a point of finding jobs for former IDF soldiers in his businesses.

If I was still in California, I'd be very tempted to get right in the face of devout computer touchers that still worship King Bazinga and laugh obnoxiously loud in their face in a way that might provoke a fistfight.

That's how I feel right now. For some reason, this many layers of blantant lies with no consequences and credulous techbros still buying into it sort of entertains me but also pisses me off enough that throwing hands, just once, might feel good.
