I've meditated about this a while now! Imagine the amount of electronic waste produced by planned obsolescence! You have a phone, TV, car and much more that could be diagnosed, repaired and reused for same or all different use cases.

All those phones that still are running LineageOS perfectly fine that could be used by the elderly who need not have much more than basic communication.

How exactly does that verify that you are the owner of the mentioned account nor verify legitimate interest in withdrawing consent from being included in their marketing campaigns!?

Those are signs of an ever evolving/improving mind! You continue to perfect your craft and as such your older self is less efficient, perfect and organised.

Accurately made me giggle!

One can never expect power of any kind to not be abused!

I have defaulted to an assertive method of straight up refusing to join any mainstream services!

If they want me to use it then they must provide the hardware which I can turn off outside operation hours.

I think that is a bit of a tall order don't you!?

I will agree with you it's not the one stop solution but I recommend it due to having triaged it on my own.

Yes they gave me the mandatory eye roll and sighs as to why I installed Linux but aren't bothered with updates, ads, malware, tracking and whatnot. They want to watch a movie or do some work it just works and doesn't bog them.

Also I emphasise that I can't recommend it for CAD/Graphic/Professional workflows that are tailored for windows sadly.

Hats off to a wingman like yourself.

A compilation of people using uBlock for the first time would be hilarious

To begin with you would need to configure the machine to the desktop disabling all what can be disabled.

Then I'd check something from here and remove only what can be deemed safe.

Having somewhat answered the main query if mom does not do anything that makes windows a necessity I'd highly suggest installing something like this and set yourself up for unattended remote control so you can assist if seen necessary.

In all honesty there was a period of time I thought all hope was lost but EU seems to be the last knight standing against these greedy mf.

We all have to bear in mind these lawmakers are fighting against enemies with near limitless resources so give credit where it is due and let's back them up as much as possible!

it is in the permissions tab after you uncheck "use defaults"

I've started to get annoyed at people asking why I cannot be found on this or that social platform! I have given up on explaining and simply tell them I took an irreversible decision to do so and leave them in the dark as to why

Using Ctrl+I seems the fastest route to allowing cookies to be set for one domain! (desktop tested)

On Firefox you can set the browser to clear any type of data on quit and set exceptions for certain sites such as your search engine.

In addition you can set global preferences for data tracking and selling to inform all websites upon landing of your privacy settings.

I am running OpenWRT and forcing DNS traffic to Mullvad with a fallback to Quad9, besides this happens across different networks.

It's not the fact that there are filler results that bothers me, after all there might not be results for everything we may possibly search.

It's the fact that these are links to services which have a tie to my unique identifiers which I deliberately declined access to in all available ways!

I'll take the trial sometime and see if I should drop the cents
