Thanks everyone!! This is more than I expected. Lots of promising stuff! I will look into each and every one of your suggestions.

(Since it's a bit silly to reply to every single comment the same thing, I'm just putting this one here)

On Dream on (Aerosmith), I've always wondered if the couple "missing" notes from the arpeggio in 2:33 are intentional or a mistake.

JavaScript and TypeScript too

I've always had this question. When I login with Google, I know what data the website will get from my Google account. But what data can Google get from the website and my usage of it, if any? (besides, of course, that I have an account on said website).

Just a little nitpicking, O(N+10) and O(2N) are not "effectively" the same as O(N). They are truly the same.

Oh man I hadn't seen a git checkout -b in years haha since they introduced switch and restore, never looked back

Can relate. With colleagues we have daydreamed about opening a bar, a bakery, a hostel on the beach, yet we're all still here, pressing buttons to make the lights on the screen change.

You need to add the repository to fdroid

Been using it for over 6 months and I've found it's everything I personally needed. I'll be buying the lifetime plan next.

If you're asking about the encryption, they publish a whitepaper on their website with the details. I can't really comment on that since I'm no expert. But I did a quick online search back then and found good comments so decided to trust them.

Wait, so it's either targeted ads or pay? Damn... Silly me thinking if you don't pay you still could opt out of targeted ads.

But yeah, isn't this against GDPR?

I do use BitDefender. It's free and reputable (last time I checked)

I think this is a pretty good breakdown and worth a read. Some key takeaways are that with FLoC Google would be able to track visitors to your website even if you were not using Google Analytics, and that the mechanism is built-in the Chrome browser so entirely controlled by Google.

Here is a related article about Topics, the FLoC replacement.

Taringa, ah, those were the days!

Damn, is it really like that now? I created my accounts for IG, Google, Discord, years ago and without a number. I refuse to provide it when they ask now and never had an issue.

I sometimes browse the KEXP live playlist to find new artists

Looks promising, I'll try it out. Thanks!

Snowden

Because it's privacy focused. Also because it's not based on Chromium. It's the only one keeping us from having a Google browser monopoly
