What am I dual booting if I can’t use win10 because it’s not secure, and I’m not paying for win11?

Adguard and pihole rely on DNS redirects - googs has already implemented “secure DNS” for Chrome in Android, which circumvents network level/local DNS by connecting to a Google owned DNS, serving content using those listings instead.

They’ll likely bring this to all flavors of Chrome.

Yes, one should use Firefox. Yes that could also avoid the android problem, but also no, because Google forces chrome at weird times (eg, some apps will load a minimal web viewer for hyperlinks links, without leaving the app - sometimes apps don’t respect the default browser setting and instead just use chrome.

🤷

Hmm, well, best to avoid watching the “how it’s made” about sutures then.

“An exceptionally small minority of people…”

You dropped this.

Seriously, who calls it the Fourth Reich?

Maybe I’m a smooth brain - but I always thought private trackers were kept private/exclusive as a way of promoting seeding - the exclusivity of private trackers lowers risk/fear of seeding, so people seed, files are kept alive. - the ratios are a stick to enforce the rules and boot leechers. Centralizing seed logs with private trackers always gave me the creeps though.

Honestly, it sounds like there’s essentially no risk of seeding on I2P. Wouldn’t more people be willing to seed in general? And wouldn’t that in turn obviate the need for private trackers?

Alas, perhaps my smooth brain brings naivety along with it.

Are the red flags in the room with you right now?

Tell me you don’t understand anarchism without telling me you don’t understand anarchism.

Keeping the same personality and opinions despite new experiences and perspectives is a giant red flag.
