It will be interesting to know if the cables for these things will be stolen for their copper or other metals on a regular basis.

Nifty! Is there an option to selectively compile packages? So I could try it on the apps I use most often? 🤔

Well that's interesting. I've read more than one place the having uBlock Origin is "enough" and that adding Privacy Badger is overkill. I've also got AdGuard Home running on a Pi-4. I failed all three tests with Vivaldi Nightly and Arc Browser--both with uBO installed....

Simply adding Privacy Badger to the existing setup, suddenly I had "strong web protection".

[edit] Firefox passed without having to add Privacy Badger.

A personal gripe of mine. I can't get any of my friends/family to care...

Anyone know if things like uBlock Origin already handle this? 🤔

Do you ever despair at the apparent lack of regard for the "social contract" by so many? (lemmy.world)
 

In this case, I'm referring to the notion that we all make minor sacrifices in our daily interactions in service of a "greater good" for everyone.

"Following the rules" would be a simplified version of what I'm talking about, I suppose. But also keeping an awareness/attitude about "How will my choices affect the people around me in this moment? "Common courtesy", "situational awareness", etc...

I don't know that it's a "new" phenomenon by any means, I just seem to have an increasing (subjective) awareness of it's decline of late.

Further confirmation that I am, indeed, above average.
