A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Personally use this tool on a daily basis. YMMV wrt the frontends provided, but I use it as my daily driver to help me evade Reddit, Twitter, and YouTube's tracking of everything I do.

@whitehouses this is the sort of thing the big tech companies do.... and then they claim that the fediverse sites(lemmy, mastodon etc) do it, in order to scare people from joining the fediverse.

The tracking that facebook, twitter etc do is not the way that fediverse sites operate. It is not a for profit space.

The person in the reddit post got it originally from a thread on raddle.
