Yeah, especially everything now is in the hands of so few players, we don’t have much of a choice!

This is all rather meaningless because we don’t know the demographics of those who answered: 5,101 US adults of what generations?

18 or older selected at random from across the entire country, read this for more information about how they selected those adults.

Yeah, this is even creepier than coveryourtracks from EFF.

Try Mullvad Browser or Tor Browser.

Ah, sorry about that. I will include the link in the post. The point is I want people to try this out to see what kind of information get leaked off your browsers but didn’t really think about the info of the tool.

That’s what I like about FOSS. You see very few distractions that try to grab your attention. This leads to a rather quiet digital life.

To take it a step further, you could enable the Do Not Disturb feature on your devices and only grant notification permissions to essential apps. This way, you can enjoy some peace of mind.

I haven’t come across any information regarding the automatic aspect, and I don’t have any personal experience with bubblejail either. However, bubblejail is mentioned on the arch wiki. It might be the closest match in this case, so you could give it a try.

You can use bubblewrap (its CLI name is bwrap) to make an arbitrary directory as $HOME for a specific program session. Basically, you can bind or set any environment variable you need for that particular program. I recommend checking out the arch wiki on this topic.

For example: bwrap --dev-bind / / --bind $HOME/your/dir/path $HOME <your_program>. This will let <your_program> have access to / and device permissions, with $HOME/your/dir/path serving as its $HOME.

My lazy ass decided to just go with the copied title generated by Lemmy when making the post. I edited the title, thanks for mentioning that!

Archive link: Publishers Sue Google over Pirate Sites

Fixed.

Edit: The new link of the post works but I think providing an archive link would be more sufficient.

This kind of self-fulfilling prophecy is what will drive down even more support for Linux. The thing we need to do right now is to let more people try out Linux so that corporations will see Linux as a potential target on the desktop and make products for Linux, not the opposite like what you are saying.
