You print and mail your data? You could really cut out a step by getting their fax number.
Make sure to page them first so they know to go pick it up.
Love the fact that even when committing to the bit about being anti-privacy they still know the internet is functionally unusable without an adblocker
Also I'm about to say something ignorant as hell but: Isn't a Browser the same thing as a Search Engine?
Nope, Browser is the tool, the software to reach internet. Like a phone. Search Engine is more like the phone book of URL reference. And you use it with keywords
The browser is the software to use the internet and a search engine essentially scans the entire accessible web for the words you type in to it and shows you where they are.
Browsers are the app you click on: google chrome, firefox, Microsoft edge, safari
Search engines are a website you go to on that app. If you type something in the top bar of your browser that is not a link, browsers will automatically enter that into a search engine.: google search, Bing, duckduckgo, ecosia, startpage
Browser is an app on your computer
Search engines are apps on other people’s computers that you access via a website

Oh I'm fine, thanks for asking. That gif was directed at you specifically
how can you even harden a proprietary walled garden
There are ways. Privacy Guides has a page on it. I also use NextDNS, which has a blocklist for iDevices, so Apple can't track me (afaik).
I'd rather have an Android, though. Either DivestOS or /e/. I'm just waiting for my iPhone to burn out first.
thats a good thing. if you have it, use it till it explodes
Bitches love a good BSD
This is a bait to collect technical data from privacy-oriented users
Look, they just list all their specs!

Who's whining about rising subscription prices in times of lesser quality in movies and tv shows?
Who's whining about not being able to get a raise because "we can't afford to give everyone raises in this economy"?
Who's whining because insurances are so expensive and never pay up?
Who has given up both control over his own information and control over where to get his knowledge from?
Who can no longer own media, or cars, or appliances without paying a monthly subscription that "this time for sure not getting worse over time"?
Who has given up his freedom?

Why 5 instances of Searxng? Do you get very different results with each? I pretty much always use the same one..
Just for when one is down or is blocked by a search engine. Happens sometimes and I have 5 bookmarked

This entire privacy thing isn't such a problem in the EU luckily lol
nah they still spy on you using the American ways until EU realises and tells them to stop, but it doesn't happen instantly and there's always new bullshit to stop them from doing
Me: "So companies can't hoard my data?"
EU: "That's right"
Me: "Cool, and I'll encrypt my chat just to be safe."
EU: "Now wait a minute..."
When even lol
It's still a problem in the EU,
less then in the USA,
however still a rather big problem.
lol
This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
