I led with understanding, and I’m the one who mentioned teenagers in the comment I wrote with my own two hands

I understand wanting to do this as a parent, but I’m so thankful I grew up without cell phones. I would never track a teenager. I feel like teenagers need space to assert their own autonomy and form an identity apart from their parents. When I think of the best moments I had with friends, it’s almost always something that would have technically gone against my parents’ knowledge and wishes, even though my parents were very good to me overall.

Someone buried yahoo in a pet sematary

I forget Yahoo! exists until suddenly they’re involved in the most unexpected ways

I wondered what they’d do next to make discord even worse. That’ll do it.

Not much, but these are still kinda neat, and I would spend up to $1.50 for them

Perhaps ironically, the article itself is an ad.

To save anyone a click, it tells you to uncheck “promotions” and “social” in gmail settings. (I can tell you from personal experience that Google’s willingness to respect this setting is dodgy.)

It also suggests using a non-chromium browser with an adblocker.

This isn’t in the article, but obviously using an email client like Thunderbird might help.

It finishes by suggesting you to try Tuta™ Mail for free! Which, after reading this needlessly wordy article only to be hit with an ad, I’ve just decided I will never ever do.

Yep! And it wasn’t that long ago I actually lost my job explicitly for being gay, which was totally legal. That’s one of the reasons the US has to fear-monger about other nations, so we won’t notice the exact same things or worse happening here.

It’s already here. We exploit incarcerated people for slave labor, and (I’m sure purely out of coincidence /s) we have one of the highest incarceration rates of any nation in the world. Not to mention private prisons, which is not a thing that would exist in any state existing in good faith.

It can’t be overstated how devastating this news will be for people who use these apps. People in these communities often use apps like these because it’s safer than being out and open at their physical locations and/or jobs.

I live in the US, and it let me opt out with the toggle switch

I opened OP’s link in a browser on my phone, and I found it

Oh jesus

I’m not entirely sure, but even the best ones seem to have like a 66% chance of actually working when you need it.

I’m in exactly the same situation. I’ve noticed worse and worse ads on Startpage, and they seem to find new ways around uBO so it’s a constant battle. Not to mention the news tab on Startpage forcing me to view almost everything via MSN, making it useless.

Sear XNG instances work great, when they’re up, but turns out there are no very reliable public instances (which, to be clear, is totally understandable … but often I find myself searching things in a pinch, and I don’t want “how to stop the bleeding” with no results on searx.tiekoetter.com to be the last thing my loved ones find on my phonescreen).

I’m totally giving this one a shot for a while.

Will this affect forks such as LibreWolf and Fennec?
