There is nothing stopping the POD hosting providers from changing their TOS and selling ALL your POD data. The app providers can also deny your access if you do not allowing them access to your POD data. Of course they will say no identifying information will be captured which everyone knows is a load of crap.
This is a greater risk to privacy than we have now with this single point where all your data can be given away or compromised
If you have concern about privacy than use an alternative. No one is forcing you to use a monopoly. If the concern is the majority of people are using monopolies that sell your data then you should contact your government representative to have them enforce anti-trust laws that are being largely ignored.
I see allot of that to but in this case the bots coming from AWS and Amazon networks were smart enough to use various user agents. I know this is irrelevant to but right my worst bot traffic like you describe is coming out of China recently and 1000x worse. Amazon and Alibaba were pretty far down the list of offenders but bad enough were action had to be taken.
I just took a break from blocking Amazon owned IP networks and AWS instances at my router after finding my site getting slammed by nefarious bots making bogus automated queries from them. Then I came here and saw this thread.
It has been going on for awhile but has picked up a bit where I finally got fed up enough to start blocking entire AWS subnets. I am going to take a guess Amazon search is being attack by bots from their own network.
My 6.9 servers and workstations are still as solid as a rock. Granted I need to add allot of newer rpms but it is stable and everything works as it should.
My confidence level of stability and bugs is still lower with 7.4. They should focus more on bug fixes and making 7.x as stable as 6. If I had my wish they would also get rid of systemd and go back to init.
No lack of material for a few new episodes with these new stories. They would need to find some excuse how the real Wash survived or just have add a new pilot character or characters.
They are too busy telling you what they believe you should want rather than giving you specifically what you asked for. The total results for each search and relevancy has been significantly scaled back to their preference. The search result quality is about as bad as infoseek when they started to be overtaken by Google. They did the same thing and lost their market share to Google. I would say it is an Ideal time for a competitor.
For total web search I have been forced to use Bing more and more but for resolving tech problems their results are limited but not as bad as Google. For programming and tech stuff it has gotten so bad now I considered rolling my own.
Ron Paul promotes competing currencies, is not opposed to Bitcoin and is the spokesperson for promoting Bitcoin through Coin IRA. His commercials for Bitcoin have been featured on Fox News.
alternative rock is IMHO the best it's ever been, popish and similar if not better than the 80s pop.
Pop today is too geared exclusively to pre-teen girls and the inner city.
Country died in the late 90s, but had a good run from the mid-20s to the 90s. Now it is unrecognizable female oriented pop with a country twang.
The worst thing that happened to these music genres was consolidation of media properties for these genres under Viacom MTV Networks in the late 90s, 2000 and radio conglomerates that followed their lead 1990+.
Any company that tries to dictate what you can do with a piece of hardware after you paid for it and own it needs to be taught a lesson.
This is outrageous. Boycott Nvidia products until this changes. Ensure all your associates including purchasing managers are made aware of this boycott.
Unbelievable. The clown ultimately responsible for adding the language should be fired, shunned and shamed publicly for the piece of garbage he or she is.
They are just begging for the Google and Facebook monopolies to put them out of business. All Google and Facebook have to do is threaten to open up massive news operations with field reporters for a community news portals on their site for each city and country (without aggregated links from outsides news agencies).
If they did that it would be the end up these European press agencies. They should be thankful that these platform aggregate their links in this day and age.
Seems to be running more smoothly now which appears to have coincided with disabling AdBlock 3.6.0 and replacing it with uBlock Origin.
After tweaking and researching the last few hours it would not be so bad if the old extensions were still around with the top two for me being Firebug and Firepath. Dev Tools are getting better but still are slower and lack of the functionality.
I still prefer the older Firefox for the UI and really hate Chrome, such a shame the newer versions of Firefox are trying to become Chrome. One starts to think maybe the developers are begging for jobs at Google.
What a time waster, back to Palemoon again for now.
Found the solution to return the page loading tab animation to the old behavior.
"page load status symbol in each tab" https://support.mozilla.org/en...
"It seems developer edition (edition 57) has changed the little "spinning wheel" page load status symbol in each tab from the "spinning dots" to a single dot that goes back and forth (left to right). Is there any way to change that back to the "spinning dots"? "
It requires editing or creating userChrome.css".( Instructions here on how to find and edit userChrome.css: https://support.mozilla.org/en... )

Just noticed if you let it set as your default browser it changes your html file icons on your hard drive to the new Firefox logo with a black background. It is really hard on the eyes. Who the heck creates file icons with black backgrounds? Can someone at Mozilla please supervise what changes the children are making to the code before release into production. thx
Unstable and slow, same thing happened to me with the Developer Edition which was resolved in 58.
Not a fan of the black inactive tabs but was able to change the theme to light to fix that. Really not a fan of the tab animation and have yet figured out a way to get it back to the old behavior.
Obvious bug in network web console showing all traffic in milliseconds to the 12th decimal place but without the decimal.
All too often with these updates I end up having to purge FF off my PC and reinstall. Then it is another half hour to change all the privacy problems like automatic connections, prefetching or some stupid UI change. I will just use Palemoon or the Developer Edition for now.
Was just trying "Xpath Helper" extension in Chrome. Not integrated into the Chrome Dev Tools but make a pretty good replacement for Firepath. The dev tools in Firefox and Chrome are so similar but I just can't used to the selection behavior in Chrome and the usability of both. Chrome also runs slower for me compared to Palemoon and all versions of Firefox.
I would still prefer Firefox Dev Tools if it had the functionality. So my solution is either I could stick with Palemoon which has both Firebug/Firepath or force myself to put up with Chrome, it's dev tools and Xpath Helper. Really not feeling it though with Chrome, so Palemoon it is.
Do you even use either of these tools? I do every single day and as much as I tried to migrate to Firefox dev tools it is not yet a replacement for Firebug. It is slow, unwieldy and lacks the features of Firebug. See my post up a bit from this one.
"In that time we got better tools in almost every browser,". I also tried different tools since they are necessary to do my job on a daily basis. There is nothing comparable to the performance and usability of Firebug and Firebug Firepath.
Fact: If I was forced to solely use Firefox dev tools and did not have Firebug and Firepath, it would significantly put me behind in my work load and add hours to my work day. I tried and can find no other way around it. If dev tools had the features, performance and usability of Firebug and Firebug Firepath, I would welcome it, but it doesn't. When it does I would be the first one to switch to it.
I tried migrating to dev tools but as I said somewhere above it was horribly slow and substantially impacted productivity. More importantly I was impacted by no migration solution for the loss of Firepath, a Firebug add-on. Sure there is an Xpath console in dev tools but it is broken for me and even if it worked the extra keystrokes to work in console rather than simply using the Firepath search box would slow me down - hamper productivity.
For anyone that has used both it is obvious how superior Firebug is compared to dev tools. What really is going through the heads that they would destroy a perfectly effective productivity tool for a tool that obviously is far from there yet.
So ultimately I was forced to switch to Palemoon where Firebug and Firepath still work. The only problem with Palemoon is that Firebug is only 1.x so I lost some functions in the network performance window. For that I have to also run Firefox, so another really pain in the ass using two browsers thanks to Mozilla's decision to kill off Firebug.
As someone who uses Firebug every day and tried to use dev tools it is actually the opposite. Firefox Dev Tools is horribly slow and I lost my most important Firebug feature which is Firepath. There is no Firepath - Xpath gui replacement in dev tools. You have console Xpath functionality in the console with dev tools but it appears to be broken and non-gui. Even if it worked it would hamper productivity considering the extra key strokes.
This blind trust and worship of monopolies these days is unprecedented. While people debate fake bogey men political issues, we are losing competition and ultimately our freedoms to a handle full of monopolies.
The real news here is most Symantec customers will be shocked when they find out they were allowing foreign governments code reviews in the first place.
Seems to be such blatant look the other way when it comes to antitrust laws by our government and the media, particularly when it comes to Google. Looks like Google continues to make the right investments in politicians and the news media.

It's worse than just doing DNS resolution.
It has a hardcoded fallback to Google's servers:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=761658
In spite of repeated explanations about why that is a horrid idea, the maintainers chose to ignore all the objections and proceed full steam ahead.
It is mind blowing to read that to begin with but what was worse is reading the refusal to acknowledge the privacy issue and fix it.

Google should be broken up into pieces yet another day another loss for competition. Do we even have an FTC anymore, what a joke.
