How does this violate the GDPR? It increases privacy and stops advertisers tracking everything you do.
This seems to be a good thing.
Advertisers have always been interested in where their ads are seen and whether they convert to purchases. A common example is vouchers, which will tell the advertiser exactly this (10p off, customer redeems, store returns to advertiser, advertiser knows where you got the voucher from/where you saw the advert, where you bought the product - exactly what Firefox is trying to tell them)
Very convoluted way of getting to that if you click through and follow the web instructions. Here's a direct link: https://myactivity.google.com/results-about-you?hl=en (obviously the actual dark web bit isn't there yet)
Maybe not Linux per se, but certainly learning how to write scripts and other technical stuff, to automate boring tasks or alert me of things, or writing applications to do things I need, has been a massive time saver - but also a time waster as I enjoy it, and probably spend longer on these things than the amount of time they've saved.
And as footnote, it's always easier to do this stuff on Linux than Windows... plus you can stick things on a Pi so it's cheap and quiet.
I don't think it's the same thing? Fedigrow is discussing how to grow, whereas this one is for posting communities and asking for people to post in them (to help them grow).
Similar, but not the same. I think if fedigrow was inundated with "please post in xxxx community" that would be annoying, whereas here it's expected.
They were good before (and please correct me if I've got this wrong) EB bought them and did a "reverse takeover".
Since that point they've been going downhill.
