Google uses WiFi and Bluetooth info for location tracking. So they can track you when you don’t have GPS switched on. WiFi names, MAC address are correlated to locations by google.
So google infers any app that has WiFi or Bluetooth access can track you like they do.
Mac isn’t UNIX based, it is UNIX and comes with many of the UNIX tools a user would expect. Completely different situation.
Private health care is very different in the UK. If you’re ever in serious ill health, or need anything remotely risky private healthcare will tell you to go to the NHS. It’s mostly GPs with nicer offices and NHS consultants moonlighting.
I read it as just better than chrome, if you use chrome switching to any other popular browser is better. Not that edge is a particularly good browser.
Firefox, Brave, Edge, and Safari offer stronger privacy protections by default than you get from Chrome, which is the world’s most popular browser.
In the rest of the article they seem to suggest Firefox, safari and brave are the better options and point to evidence. And that Microsoft claim edge is a better option. Overall its suggest Firefox it better at evading tracking and safari at evading fingerprinting (largely because all the safari devices are so similar, and apple try to make them look more similar).
Intel is investing billions in Israel at the same time getting bailouts from the us government.
Anyone saying it works is lieing. Even if they have examples. Most of the time when companies self regulate it is to maintain control and avoid regulation. It’s a delaying tactic that allows them to exploit the mechanisms longer and minisme the impact that proper accountability would bring.
If self regulation was feasible we would never even be discussing it. It wouldn’t be a concept we would have to think about. It would just be the way things work and have always worked.
Nutella marketed it as healthy as it contained milk (powder) and hazelnuts. It was never healthy due to the amount of sugar.
It was originally made with hazelnuts to make a cheaper chocolate alternative. But hazelnuts are still expensive so they bulk it with palm oil. It’s basically chocolate mayo now.
This completely ignores why local authorities became more centralised and the Scottish Parliament limited their remit. Corruption.
Local councils have terrible oversight and accountability. People don’t follow the developments in their local council, so their votes largely don’t reflect them. Larger councils are easier to oversee and more accountable to voters.
The centralisation efforts has also made services more consistent and more affordable. Most of the UK has seen a reduction in the services delivered by local authorities. This hasn’t been as much of a problem in Scotland because centralisation helps to cap costs. In England local authorities struggle to build as many homes and they have many schools no longer under their control.
The idea that local people should be involved in local decisions whilst an admirable idea, is practically very difficult with small local authorities. The elected members become less capable, easier to corrupt and less accountable. When only 500 people turn out to vote for you, no one even knows what you stand for or what your previous record has been. They are voting for the rosette. The end result is local affairs are regulated by the parish council tyrant. People with fuck all else to do and fuck all care about their impact on their community. Typically the local nutter that dodging the care home they should be confined to.
Probably not much for people on a self hosting community, but those that want to get away from subscriptions and steal your data as a service cloud providers that might need some reassurance that they’ll have a working system.
I think it is LED technology. LEDs have a very small bandwidth. Even white leds are just three very small small bandwidth emissions.
The very tight intensity in such a small bandwidth is hard on the eyes. Even when compared with the same power of older lighting technology, which has a comparatively massive bandwidth.
LEDs could be designed to compensate for this better. They could add more different colours of LEDs to the matrix that makes up white LEDs.
