That is WILD! This technology could be put to good use, but corporations are abusing it to build profiles on their users so they can weaponize the data.

Random photo I had saved (of a Da-Brim cycling accessory):

I’m saying this as someone who used Mint for years due to how it integrated with banks so easily.

I’m currently using Money Manager EX, which is open source. I “self-host” the database file on my NAS, and simply open the file through MM EX’ Windows program.

Since it’s just a simple database (encrypted, of course), it’s easy to back up.

Now, I lost the ability to automatically sync with my bank. This was a blessing in disguise, since it forced me to go over each transaction carefully.

Granted, Mint had me doing the same, but because I spent a lot of time removing duplicates and fixing errors in their sync system. LOL

MM Ex has been very easy to use, and I don’t see a need to self-host the software itself.

Been using it recently after switching from Libreddit.

Pro tip: you can use the LibRedirect extension for Firefox to point to the IP address that you self-host, and it’s very seamless.

Nah, self-hosting is still a solution. And when I self-host, I don’t even need an internet connection to access my files, movies, photos, security cameras, etc.

Yes, we can fix privacy laws, and put in a lot of faith that they will be followed or that our data won’t be lost/sold. But I think everyone benefits when they are in control of their own data.

What we need are more accessible self-hosting options so that even computer n00bs can set up and cut ties with these mega corps.

Oh, yeah, don’t get me wrong, Google is highly unethical, and I avoid any and all Google related products whenever possible.

Selling Chrome, however, doesn’t really stop them from doing damage.

The part about not allowing them to bribe pay other companies to use their search is a much better idea.

And regarding their influence over the internet… we need stronger regulation to prevent any company from having that much control over an essential service.

Um, that wouldn’t change if Google “sells Chrome”, though.

Firefox uses Google Search as a default, so does every Samsung phone (and most other Android devices).

Unless the DOJ is telling everyone not to implement a default search engine (and let the user decide upon first opening the browser), then who owns Chrome really doesn’t change much.

Other remedies the government is asking the court to impose include prohibiting Google from offering money or anything of value to third parties — including Apple and other phone-makers — to make Google’s search engine the default,

This is the only thing that makes sense, but “sell Chrome” is a laughable request.

What does Chrome have to do with search? 🤔

Not really surprising when all food is so processed and pumped full of all kinds of bullshit, from high fructose corn syrup to preservatives to you name it.

No. I refuse to blame those foods for people being fat.

I’m an amateur endurance cyclist, and during peak summer riding, I can eat junk food all day (literally from 5 am to midnight, multiple times an hour) and still end up in a calorie deficit.

It’s actually really hard to gain weight when you’re active, and those junk foods are very common with anyone who does endurance sports (or really any sport that requires high-calorie input over a sustained period). This is why sports nutrition products are basically pure sugar with some electrolytes sprinkled in there.

The problem is that people are eating junk food (jet fuel for our bodies) as if they were athletes. If you’re sitting on your ass all day and pounding back 4000 calories of junk food, yeah, you’re going to be fat.

Now, are those healthy foods? Absolutely not. But if you view food as fuel and nutrition, you can have a healthy relationship with “junk food”, too.

Please, someone uninstall this version of the game!

Brilliant! That worked!

This was one of the rare times I installed a firmware update without waiting. They even sent an email telling me how urgent it was to get my NAS patched.

To that note, anyone have any idea how to get Hyper Backup to stop telling me that my backups are “partial” because Video Station is no longer found? It’s not even on the list of apps, but tells me that it’s been disabled as an option to back up because it’s not available. Annoying!

I can vouch for Mailbox, too.

It’s also easy to get it set up on third part email clients.

Does this new version fix the issue where it ends up capturing “choose your country”, cookie popups, and generally something NOT intended?

I was having problems like that all the time, so I had to uninstall it.

Compared to something like the FF extension “SingleFile”, I wish Linkwarden worked better :(

As if they are safe. Maybe someone should tell them that second and third generation immigrants are probably “going home”, too, depending on how Fourth Reich Miller wants to be.

Miller has been a threat to the country for over a decade, literally pushing Nazi agendas around, and this move should be concerning to everyone.

When I had Premium for the whole family, they were also showing ads AND still using trackers.

I emailed Google support about it, and they said it was a “bug”. I cancelled soon after.

From this article

But in the case of the hefty tariffs that Trump put on China during his first term, economic studies found that most of those costs were passed on to American consumers.

Economists believe this could happen again. One study by the Peterson Institute for International Economics, for example, calculated that Trump’s current tariff plans would increase costs for a typical American household by $2,600 a year.

Paying more for everything to own the libs! 🤡

And honeybees even often outcompete native pollinators, which is bad for biodiversity.

Of course, Texas has to incentivize this type of destruction:

"In Texas, the law qualifies people who own between five and 20 acres of land for tax breaks if they rear bees for five years. "
