Google should be embarrassed at how much better Samsung is.

Yes, exactly, thank you.

Different search engines will "censor" different results to bring you whatever is, in their opinion, the most relevant information to your inquiry. That's their job. To sort the nonsense from the relevant info.

We don't need to do anything. They simply can't. ActivityPub is designed that way.

Still working for me!

Every search engine "censors" results. That is literally their job.

Microsoft had the right idea with tablet mode in Windows 8. Just poor execution.

This will never come to Apple, because if your iPad could replace your Mac, you wouldn't buy both, as many people do.

Your information will be stored on the server you choose.

It really doesn't matter which one you choose, just choose one. It doesn't matter which one.

The difference is Mastodon will not store anymore information than you explicitly give it. It's not going to mine your location data, it's not going to ask for your contacts to add to a database and profile people. It's not going to track your activity across the web and use your activity to serve you ads. There are no ads, so there is no incentive.

Even if your Mastodon server host WANTED to track all of your information like Meta or other centralized services do, they couldn't afford to.

Really stretching the meaning of "social media" there but sure.

How in the world do you figure Apple hasn't earned their reputation for planned obsolescence when they serialize every part in the device, don't allow for 3rd party repairs, constantly refuse to repair devices, constantly make them harder to repair, don't make absolutely any repair documentation available, sue the people who find said documentation and make it available, and send ICE to raid businesses who are able to actually get their hands on replacement parts?

As few as possible. Browser extensions can be used to fingerprint you.

I only run uBlock, as it's included with most privacy-focused browsers like LibreWolf. Even better if the browser has built-in domain blocking like Brave, then you don't even need that.

Couple of things: 1 is to run a privacy-friendly OS. AtlasOS is not really an OS at all, but really just Windows 10 stripped of all the spyware. This also removes pretty much all of the security features so you really ONLY want to run this on a gaming-only device, or on a gaming-only sandboxed partition. Otherwise, Proton has made Linux very usable for the vast majority of games.

Second: Look at the yellow boxes on Steam. This is where they disclose all the shady shit publishers are pushing on you. Don't buy games with DRM. Don't buy games with anti-cheat, this is incredibly invasive software. Don't buy games that require you to sign an EULA, which is usually just forfeiting all of your privacy rights. Don't buy "online-only" games.

All games on GOG require no DRM so those are usually a good bet.
