Cash is only “less convenient” for the banks and businesses that would prefer to track you. A cashless society is a society fully stripped of privacy, a society where poor people are guaranteed to stay poor, and where only the rich can afford privacy and security.
Oh weird, it didn’t do that to me before but trying it again now it does the same thing to me. Apologies for the snark.
It does you just have to click through to the source cited by Thom. Click the link halfway down the OSnews article, “Michael Tsai, quoting Mysk”, then in the resulting article click the link that says “Mysk”. That takes you to the Xitter post by Mysk with the screenshot and description (I ran it through Xcancel so as not to endure Xitter’s shitty site).
Clicking links is difficult, I get it. Here, I did that for you:
Considering they are sending all of your iOS activity back to themselves without encryption, to track you for ad serving, yep.
Agreed, and until the Moto Graphene phone drops one can just buy a used Pixel from a trusted marketplace like Swappa, and no money goes to Google from that used device sale. Save money and keep a perfectly good used phone out of a landfill at the same time.
Fennec is the closest thing to a mobile version of Librewolf. It doesn’t have all the privacy and security tweaks as Librewolf but it’s far better than mobile Firefox.
There’s also Firefox Focus but it’s more difficult to use as a main browser since it defaults to wiping all traces of history and settings after each session.
Aoostar makes some really great tiny NAS devices based on the Intel N100/N150 series, and they also have an AMD unit if that’s your jam (it’s mine). If you buy the one with built in main storage it comes with Windows 11 Pro installed but you can wipe that and install Linux or a dedicated NAS OS if you wish. Or just save money and throw a NVMe SSD in for the OS and a bunch of HDDs for media and go to town.
The best part is you can buy direct from Aoostar, no need to buy from Amazon though they are offered there too.

I also like UGREEN’s NAS offerings, they come with their own custom NAS OS that supports Docker so you can run all your *arrs and Jellyfin and other server apps as containers. The web-based interface is like using a normal Linux or macOS desktop.
See you on the high seas, matey.
It’s not just that it was useless to some people, it was a genuine security risk. OpenBSD’s port of Firefox has it disabled by default, and LibreWolf strips it out of the browser entirely.
I wasn’t contradicting you, I was agreeing with you.
