I am also in that basket. To me Usenet seems like another, older protocol that achieves practically the same thing. If someone is more knowledgeble, feel free to correct me or explain further.

I also can’t understand lobbying. To me, a non-US person, it just seems like legalized corruption.

I have been having this problem 2 days ago, but I have started using NoScript in combination with UBlock Origin yesterday and i didn’t see any ads after that.

The main culprits are the big oil companies. They made the carbon footprint term to make us feel guilty and shift the blame from the biggest polluters.

I agree

Same, downloaded StreetComplete few days ago and it’s really fun to solve quests and map things all at once :)

Look into OpenStreetMaps site for desktop PCs, and pick one of many android apps for the mobile phones that use OSM (i prefer osmAnd, it has a free premium version on F-droid software store) and you won’t be needing to send all your location data to Google ever again.

Great app that I practically use every day.

Shout out to Firefox and Librewolf

I love the yt-dlp fork.

Is this a more private way of browsing the internet than something like a hardened Firefox or Librewolf?

Don’t give up.
