I take it that you were referring to Mull (Browser) and not MullVad (VPN service).
This article seems to assume that advertisers don’t want our identifying information, and are clamoring for an alternative to tracking that lets them measure ad performance anonymously, which is just not true. Being able to uniquely identify users and target them is a feature, and getting more data points from the browser just helps add to their profiles.
Ba dam diss…
I’m using Mullvad.
Logically yes, downloading or a sharing a digital file is a “lost sale” - but as Aaron Swartz said - “lost sales” are also caused by Earthquakes, Libraries/DVD Rentals, Negative Yelp reviews, Market Competitors, and so on. Why just blame it on file sharing…
Thanks ! This is it.
I don’t exactly recall when or where I heard/read this quote, but man it is dope
I hope you noticed that the key phrase in your comment is “your content”
Good luck claiming any of the content on the streaming platforms as “your”
What’s that about only getting 720p though?
Are there e-readers with very very dim light that still allow comfortable reading?
I have not used any myself, but I have heard that both Kindle e-reader and Kobo support this.
Whenever I hear this argument
“Most people are not interesting enough to profile, so they don’t need this XYZ privacy tool…”
I always have this ready as a counter argument
"Only a stupid person would not care about pickpockets just because his wallet does not have much cash - a pickpocket will not ask you how much cash you have before picking your wallet, and even if your wallet turns up to be empty, the pickpocket is not going to be a gentleman and return that to you.
Tracking/profiling for Ads on the internet happen en masse; you are just one of a million data points that build a profile - it doesn’t care whether you as an individual are interesting or not".
I do exactly the same. I always opt for the earliest free prime delivery available, even for just one item in my order.
Fuck their Amazon delivery day and No rush shipping. “Delivery in fewer trips to your home” ? I have exactly zero fucks to give - I need my stuff as early as possible as my prime membership will let me, even if at 4 AM in the morning, because I am freaking paying for it.
And “green for the environment” my ass - I know they don’t care about environment, and I don’t care about the gas tank of their delivery vans.
“Who is this guy, and what is he doing in my court ?”
“He is the witness in this trial, your Honor”.
“Does that mean the ball is now in my court?”
“Yep”.
to see if it was worthwhile.
If you are done with what you were set out to do, then sure, upgrade it if it’s free.
Right. The same goes for clothes that you wear - you don’t really feel the fabric on your skin unless you really pay attention.
Welcome to New Jersey /s
I know. It’s Extremely Infuriating. But I found only one community for Extremely Infuriating that appears to be a ghost town.
Which is why I posted this here.
Really bad news, and so ignorant of me. Thanks for the enlightenment btw !
