In other words, lack of accountability leads to bad behaviour. He might be onto something there…

You could try laughing at them instead, but maybe then they start the punching.

Weirdo in chief.

And if a self-proclaimed "alpha male" elicits a reaction of fear or anger that confirms their self-image. But being called weird, or laughed at like the clowns they are, undermines their whole act.

There's also Rust for the Polyglot Programmer which seems to be a generic version of those.

Why does he need a defense? We already know he's weird.

Tax them out of existence.

What an insight, he must be a tactical genius.

Individuals owning their own means of energy production is obviously unamerican.

The question is, how much data? From their description it seems that it gives less data than conventional tracking. If you use an adblocker you won't interact with ads anyway so there's nothing to track either way. But if you don't and this new method needs less data and still satisfies advertiser "needs" (wants), isn't that a good thing?

Nothing, some people just dislike the slow pace of its development or some design decisions and fork it (and in the process remove or break less used functionality, like Podcini can't read any feeds on my old Android 7 phone).

So what's the open source alternative you found? Sounds like it needs more advertising.
