• Show HN: Simple script to cripple personalized targeting from Facebook

  Reminder to use AdNauseum [1] that will not only hide the ads but also click it, messing with targeting and spending advertisers' money at the same time. [1] https://adnauseam.io/. - Source: Hacker News / 11 days ago

• Escaping Surveillance Capitalism, at Scale

  > I've used https://adnauseam.io/ for years. It's great. No it isn't. It does nothing to make your data worthless. You're only giving data brokers more ammo to use against you. See my comment here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39043547#39044239. - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

• Escaping Surveillance Capitalism, at Scale

  I've used https://adnauseam.io/ for years. It's great. First, it hides (most of) the ads making the internet more tolerable. Then it clicks on ALL of them making your profile worthless. The last time I pulled up my Google profile, it said I was a 18-99yo, both male and female, and was interested in EVERY topic they listed. It works in both Brave and Chrome but isn't available in the Chrome Extension Store for some... - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

• Firefox on the Brink?

  They also don't ban and lie about anti-tracking extensions like AdNausium (a data poisoning adblocker[0]). Chrome banned it from their store. As well as other extensions like Bypass Paywalls Clean. Ultimately the Firefox addon ecosystem is simply freer [0] https://adnauseam.io/. - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

• Discord has been using ML to determine the gender and age of some of its users

  The beginning of enshitification of discord (while 100% expected) for some reason hits harder then any other service I've used throughout all these years. It has entirely replaced social media for me. It just felt more organic to me then anything else. So... Since I've heard about the ads coming to discord, and I have looked into alternatives. They do exist, in varying quality, and there are programs for some of... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago

• Qilin: A Starter Project Template For Every Open Source Project

  GitHub Discussions can also be a great place for support as long as these are regularly monitored. Another option along the same lines is Discourse and the Open Source Matrix which is used by quite a few Open Source and community-based projects. - Source: dev.to / 3 months ago

• A man has been swatted 47 times for making a joke about Norm Macdonald

  Tangential: the article notes that Telegram is an “encrypted messaging app”. While this is technically true, it's worth keeping in mind that it's not end-to-end encrypted, so it's less secure in that regard than, say, Signal or even WhatsApp. Telegram does have opt-in end-to-end encrypted one-on-one chats, but those are very inconvenient to use. For a properly encrypted chat app, including group chats (opt-in),... - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• Launching Default End-to-End Encryption on Messenger

  I'd love something like the Matrix [0] data model (JSON messages aggregated in an eventually-consistent chatroom CRDT) transmitted over something like simplex for metadata resistance. [0] https://matrix.org. - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

• Meta is pulling the plug on Messenger chats on Instagram

  Trillian mod here. There's this new thing called Beeper, works on matrix.org. It's not as the good old times, but I'm currently using whatsapp, FB messenger, discord, telegram, signal, imessage and a few more. It's not Cerulean experience, but it's... Slowly improving. Source: 7 months ago
