“Unprecedented understanding of consumer behavior”

Scary stuff

Here’s a good reference from DivestOS website

NextDNS has a blocklist you can enable to block telemetry for Roku TVs FYI. You can also get a dumb TV or keep your TV offline and have a separate Kodi box for your shows.

A similar experience is what got me into privacy. Time to get off of social media and get rid of apps that have access to your keyboard, mic, files, etc.

Thank you. I’ll explore the CLI option. My VPN provider does not offer residential IPs but I hear Proton will be offering dedicated IPs soon and will probably use that in addition to.

Replaying Pokémon Fire Red as a ROM hack with Throwback. It’s a vanilla + experience and it’s really quite fun to play old games.

I’ve tried it a few times in the past but have always come across bugs that give me functional issues. I can’t remember exactly what they were right now but give it another few months and I’ll probably try it again.

Just read the entire thread. This is sad. I was about to recommend the contacts app to my Dad, glad I didn’t.

Oh, I wouldn’t know that. I do remember playing it years ago, I think when it first came out.

PC Gaming Wiki states that World of Goo is touchscreen optimized. It’s such a great game.

Definitely KDE Plasma
