A privacy policy could literally say "our policy is to track and store nothing". Having one does not make it evil.
In the case of Google, I would not be surprised if it stays running in the background using a relatively large amount ram just for fun.
It was bothering me that the bronze medal was different... (It still does for the purpose of this chart)
Anyway, that's the just the other side. More interestingly, the gray hunk of metal is actually from the Eiffel Tower.
To clarify for anyone curious about the drama, while it was blown out of proportion, it was absolutly vaild.

there was a light nsfw furry easter egg, removed once found. Considering the browser was originally a side project by a young guy (teen/early 20?) it's not really surprising or a big deal. Once the browser gained a sudden boost in users and it was found, the image was removed (once the guy got back from vacation? hospital?, there was a month or two gap)

this one was a larger problem for sure, and again removed. If I reacll right, he was apparently hosting a website for a friend about supporting the end of a certain procedure done to baby males at birth. There were some graphic images, its not technically CP anymore than the infomus Nirvana cover, but still...not okay.
To make matters worse, the link the site was somewhere browsers home or about page, making it pretty easy for anyone to find.
It's all old news now. Personally I didn't really care, but some people might.
I think Ikea furniture has become synonymous with all pre-fab, assemble your self furniture.
In my personal expirence with larger items (non-ikea) like desks, the assembly itself is super easy. The time consuming part is sorting out 100 pieces and realizing towards the end that the picture book didn't tell you one part had a specific direction to go.
Intresting. I'll be honest, I have zero knowlage about the new flag or the nation (which I should fix...)
I just judged the flag as a flag.
That emblem brings this from a solid B+ flag to F-
Its not a bad design, but those don't belong on flags.
I was talking about the individual card limits that can be set, those definatly work.
Edit, looking my account, I too have 250daily and 1000 monthy limit. The next paragraph might be be outdated?
~~I know the total daily limit is "adaptive" or something set based on your spending habits. I'd prefer setting the limit myself, but it is what it is.~~
I'd be okay with ads I'd they met a few basic conditions
- the ad is not a scam
- more than 2-5 ads on repeat (give me at least 50 to cycle through)
- mid-roll ads placed at natural breaks in the content (preferably set by creator), not in the middle of a sentance.
- a proper add to watch time ratio, 10 minutes = 30 sec of ad.
- if a video is demonotized, there should be ZERO fuckings ads.
- Ultimitaly its up to the user to remember the master password. I'm not familiar with how bitwarden works, but do use keepssXC. I hear bitwarden is better for less techical people due to having built in account/sync options. (You can also self-host BW if you want)
Keepass is file based, it is up to you to backup the file, for most users putting it an auto-synced cloud drive folder is their best bet. It's automatic, multi-platform and offsite. Many technical users use sync thing (or equivalent) to manage the file across multiple backup locations.
KeePassXC is essentially a GUI for KeePass datbase, like word and openoffice can both open a .doc file, multiple programs can open a keepass file. If KeePassXC dies, theres others options for opening the file.
That being said, IOS options suck, theres one called Strongbox that is, in my opinion, the best. Its not FOSS like the others. Free version works 100% no problems, but they ask a high $20/yr sub or $90 lifetime for a handful of nonessential features (I'd love an decent alternative if anyone has one).
For Android I like KeepassDX and Keepass2Android.
- Getting hacked is a legitimate concern. However the greatest risk is still duplicate passwords. The time it will take crack an individual database is going to be less well spent than dumping a million username/password sets into a thousand sites and hoping for a match.
Realistically, if you're the specific target of a hacker going specificaly after your database files you're best off freezing your credit and bank accounts.
If your database gets hacked, there are a few ways you can midigate the damge, its up to an individual to balance convince and security.
First is 2fa. Keepass works great for TOTP 2fa, with browser integrations, its a breeze signing into sites. If you want more security, you would have a seperate database file with a different master password for 2fa. Now a hacker needs to crack 2 databases.
Another way to midigate the risk is to seperate whatever emails you use from the main bunch, this way if the main databse gets compromised, you won't lose the emails that let you reset everything else. If the email gets cracked, they won't have a convient list of accounts to go mess with. Also make sure the emails have all the security and recovery options available setup.
3, bonus round Finally for fincial security, don't have your credit card saved on every site. I don't let most of them store it all and use privacy.com for pretty much every thing these days. Set transaction limits on regularly used sites, and set up a "1-time use" card for anythibg irregular.
Even if some brakes into, for example my amazon account, they are going to find a $100 purchase won't work. I'll get an email and can just cancel the privacy card for amazon (I'd probably kill them all to be safe) and then work on resecuring everything.
To top it off Privacy.com it self has a dedicated credit card attached with a strict limit to midigate damge.
NPC don't even run after you single handly kill half an army, tank insnane amounts of damage, heal massive wounds by speed eating bread, or walk around in the armor of their former unbeatable boss.
