People still use google?

Worked for Sean Connery, sort of.

Here are a couple of links that I hope are not in any way connected to this:

The youtube clip is 8 years old, and has approximately the same borders as the new October map. This has been simmering for 98 years, and seems to be gathering steam in recent years. Note that Turkey is following the long established practice of demanding territory where ethnic Turks live while refusing to give up territory where non-Turks live.

Erdogan has been consolidating power since the failed plot to remove him, which was about 4 months ago now. (Also see Sledgehammer.)

What happened to Picat's Wikipedia page? It shows up in the cache of the DuckDuckGo search engine, but the actual Wikipedia page appears to have been deleted. See

I used one last week with a new dell laptop. They have a range of only a few feet, but they do work and can share screens and network and all that over it. In fact the one i was using is second generation. Its an intel technology.

Have you ever listened to the daily _independent_ news radio program Democracy Now? Stream it a few times if you don't live near a local station that broadcasts it. I listen on a local (community-supported, not wide-scale public) radio station. The team does a great job with multiple interviews (not just a few talking heads) from out in the field - where stuff is happening, but also with a range of award-winning journalists from all over the planet.

It's easy to criticize the reporting of details, but this is an intense story that has not received enough attention on main stream media.

Just snipits from a timeline:

These events have been reported by a range of medial outlets, but in limited air time:

Too much mainstream coverage is given to the 2016 presidential election than many other current events of consequence.

steal (verb): to appropriate (ideas, credit, words, etc.) without right or acknowledgment.

And yet, most of Slashdot disagrees, that information can be stolen: you still have your copy of that file you accuse me of "stealing", don't you?

I too find the argument ridiculous, but it is so wide-spread, I mock it at any opportunity.

Any links as to what Chrome collects?

No, because there is no law which requires a company to publish an honest privacy policy. And even if there was, there is no way in hell Google will ever allow any regulatory body to pry around their data centres and entire database and archives to ensure that they are indeed not spying or doing nasty things with data, like selling to insurance companies, government bodies, highest bidder, etc.

And even if there was such a thing as a regulatory body to monitor Google, Google will simply pay them enough to shut up, like they bribe the US Government and the EU.

The only honest privacy policy (as it appears to me) comes from the likes of EFF, DuckDuckGo, Mozilla, ProtonMail, and Wire, of the few that I've read.

Google on the other hand is very deceptive and vague in their privacy policy, especially data retention... if there is such a thing as privacy and Google!

Opera 12.16 Build 1860 platform Linux, Windows, Mac OS X. Click disable search suggestions. Delete google. Set outgoing to https://duckduckgo.com/ and customise settings by typing into the address bar opera:config#UserPrefs|CustomUser-Agent and so on.

Disable auto update and disable fraud and malware protection in the browser. Heavy snooping from websites like Slashdot, will use Java to guess your operating system.

To access http://uj3wazyk5u4hnvtk.onion/ via web you will have to use the Tor Browser, and type in that address in the address bar. And build up your list from their lists and track the other lists until you have a massive pirate list.

You will discover that once you can have the software you think you wanted you realise it's just not very good and not really worth having. And once you have watched 100 Hollywood films you find out that they are all the same basically and you are just wasting your life and killing brain cells. And you will end up with brain death, and answering chat bots. the situation in which a person's brain stops working and they join the Slashdot bots.

You forgot Elon Musk. He said the same thing.

I switched to https://qwant.com/ a few months ago. Works fine for ~95% of all searches I do. The other 5% I manually route via Google's more advanced filtering.

I hadn't heard of qwant before. I must give it a spin. How does it compares with DuckDuckGo?

You must have gone totally orgasmicwhen the first Alien movie came out.

You're kidding right?
Surely you can't be that ignorant of Google's power?!

Here's a quick search to answer your question.

Google literally have the power to change leadership of entire nations and sway voters, and even make or break an entire company!

Google products are 100% voluntary, if you don't want to use them, then don't...

Err, no they're not.
You're Google's product and slave whether you like it or not.
It's easy (for a technical person) to simply not use facebook and block their 2/3 domains, but it's almost impossible to do that with Google, considering GoogleAPIs, Captcha, Doubleclick, Analytics, GoogleAdServices, GoogleSyndication, GTM, Plus, etc, etc.

That's a terrible article. Yes regulations and pole attachment fees create barriers to stringing new cables, but we don't want new cables. Unregulated utility poles look like this. The point of open access is to promote competition over existing cables.

You can still blame government if you want, but blame them for de-regulating access back in 1996, Of course, they only did so at the behest of industry lobbyists.

I'm concerned this plugin might trigger Google's bot detection algorithm. Furthermore, wouldn't it be simpler to use DuckDuckGo?

My thoughts exactly! Google, the giant of machine learning certainly could spot this extension blurting out unrelated search request and filter them out accordingly. I also like the fact that it's available in the Chrome Web Store!

Is the source code of this extension publicly available? If so, I'm sorry for the developer, but I would go as far as saying his extension is totally useless...

Everyone should be installing TrackMeNot to pollute the search engine result tracking pool: TrackMeNot https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/trackmenot/ By issuing randomized queries to common search-engines, TrackMeNot obfuscates your search profile(s) and registers your discontent with surreptitious tracking.

Can what be defeated by "a screwdriver and some electronics skills"?

The stuff we know from Snowden is pretty old now, but included firmware-level exploits for all common PCs, phones, routers, and firewalls of the time (e.g., IRATEMONK which lived in hard drive firmware to run arbitrary code at OS boot time). It included concealable (on a PC) taps for both video and audio, that emitted no signal by themselves, but were readable by hitting them with a low-power radar device from some distance away (e.g., RAGEMASTER and LOUDAUTO). We know the NSA would intercept shipments of PCs and routers at large scale and conceal these devices, and it never made the news before Snowden.

Now it's the era of phones. You really think there aren't modern projects, that don't require something the size of PC components for concealment? They had penny-sized modules in '08.

Spend some time reading through project summaries here. Really. You sound like the guys 3 years ago, arguing that the government couldn't be recording all phone calls in the US, when we knew they were.

How about when Windows Update helpfully started the upgrade process on domain-joined systems, despite MS claiming it wouldn't?

(take your pick on links) https://duckduckgo.com/?q=wind...

MS keeps demonstrating that they can't be trusted, and I for one am tired of having an adversarial relationship with them.

I'm done, they can go fuck themselves.

That's pathetic compared to the DuckDuckGo bang syntax.

Normal search query (search in DuckDuckGo): "streets of london"
Redirect search to Google: "!g streets of london"
Redirect search to Bing: "!b streets of london"
Redirect search to Wikipedia: "!w streets of london"
Redirect search to google maps: "!maps streets of london"
etc, etc, etc.

See here: https://duck.co/help/results/s... and here https://duckduckgo.com/bang.

DuckDuckGo's results often aren't the best, but they make it up by having a damn nice interface. Google's search syntax is just embarrassing in comparison.

I agree; however, what about Chromium or SRWare Iron or even Vivaldi/Opera?

I only use Firefox anyway, as I doubt anyone has extensively analysed Chromium source code in order to search for any hidden Google tracking mechanisms or reporting techniques.
And even if the source appears to be clean, Google aren't stupid, their trackers are over most websites, and through js obfuscation and ajaxing encrypted data back to Google, they may be able to trigger various reporting elements in Chromium to extract user data and uniquely fingerprint each installation.

I know, sounds like paranoia and tinfoil hat stuff, but considering how evil Google is, I wouldn't put it past them.

Not sure if stupidity comes naturally to you, but comparing a $950 server cpu to a budget $100 desktop cpu is a little moronic to say the least.

Next thing you'll complain about is how your Xeon is more powerful than a ARM Cortex!
Oh, and while in the thread, don't forget to compare a browser developed by a multi-billion dollar corporate spying empire to one developed by a miniscule non-profit chartable organisation; like so many others have the audacity to do so here.

You need to remember that Mozilla is a non-profit charitable organisation which is a miniscule mouse compared to its competition, especially from one of the world's biggest multi-billion dollar spying corp empire Google (who are coincidentally, the biggest bribers ("lobbyist") to the US Government).

Since no one ever donates to Mozilla, how else are their full-time staff and devs supposed to live in a world run by money?!

But you do make a good last point however, which is that since they can't appeal to the masses like the billions Google spends on Chrome adverts, Mozilla could however go down a different direction. But to be fair to Mozilla, they are trying to become more privacy focused, but again, they can only do so much because that's like going against the hand that feeds them!

Remember, they championed web standards compliance and the importance of the W3C and accessibility guidelines at a time when Microsoft wanted to make the web into a proprietary model, a bit like what Google is trying to do now.

And now Mozilla along with Opera are the ones who are championing the latest web standards, especially HTML5, CSS3 and 4, and especially Javascript (EMCAScript) upon which the entire web is built.

I shouldn't need to remind you that Google is a multi-billion dollar spying corp empire who's pumped an enormous amount of marketing power into their reskinned Apple Safari (AppleWebKit) rip-off, and you're comparing goliath to david's little baby kid?!

What I also find amazing is that Microsoft were heavily fined for bundling IE into Windows, but when Google advertises their browser all over Google.com (the window to the web for most people), and bundles Chrome into Android OS or their laptop OS, that's perfectly fine!
Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that Google is one of the biggest bribers... errr, I mean, "lobbyist" to the US Government?

Well, there is a good reason why you are AC, because you are a liar.
Up to this point, there has been no lemons from tesla.

No they haven't.
