Use Mullvad’s dns servers https://mullvad.net/en/help/dns-over-https-and-dns-over-tls#android. Their vpn also has dns blocking capabilities.

The only reasonable option here is to switch to LibreOffice or some other FOSS product.

Don’t know what you are referring to as Internet but I was referring to the low level infrastructure and the technologies at that level. Also Internet != www.

Thought I was sensing sarcasm in your message.

PS: And CERN is actually an international project, rather than just Swiss, though located in Switzerland.

Quite true.

Internet itself (the network) is based on arpanet which was developed by ARRPA now known as DARPA which part of the US Department of Defense.

CERN is Swiss though and Tim Berners-Lee is English.

What’s the canvas graphic thing (item 2) you are explaining here?

Canvas is a special “place”/way of drawing images on a website. It can be used for fingerprinting since different gpus/drivers etc draw things a little differently. Basically a script on a page draws thousands of shapes, pictures whatnot on a canvas you can’t see i.e. is placed somewhere out of the standard view area. Then the script calculates some kind of hash or checksum. Combine that with other fingerprinting characteristics you’ll get pretty nicely unique browsers.

For example LibreWolf blocks canvas by default for everyone and randomizes the canvas data on every read. If you happen to use a site that uses the canvas for legitimate purposes you won’t ever see what’s supposed to be there by the original design.

In contrast, GrapheneOS, a security-focused Android-based OS, quickly patched the issue in its codebase.

Good that I use GrapheneOS.

That’s actually a very poor example because the US and Europe have very different regulatory frameworks. The US actually requires more details when listing ingredients than Europea does.

In the EU you must list all ingredients in your product. Ordered by what it has the most.

It has a mac build but last I checked only nightly build were available for mac.

Nokia is doing just fine. They’re mostly focused on networking stuff nowadays. They left the phone business when MS bought it.

Once you play it thru once check out the community version. It’s officially sanctioned by the developers and I think they even had access to the source code.

It’s very nice game. Excellent spiritual successor to the original xcom.

Until your distro releases a fixed kernel add initcall_blacklist=algif_aead_init to your boot parameters and reboot. Problem gone. Source https://social.wildeboer.net/@jwildeboer/116503656052666960

This a very good book on algorithms. Another good one is “The art of computer programming” by Donald Knuth. He also created Tex.

It is said in the development community that as a junior you write more code and think less, and when you become more senior you think more and write less code.

It’s an old meme but checks out.

Even with ublock-origin with quite extensive blocking rules and browsers enhanced tracking protection the ny times website was 10 MB to load.
