You make it sound like a huge conspiracy but there are laws and regulations around everything you try to sell, especially for electronics.

You also have to do EMF radiation testing, ensure that your printer doesn’t produce toxic aerosols or fumes, and probably a bunch of other things to prove that your product is safe. I don’t see why the fingerprinting isn’t just another thing on the list of things you have to do to be in compliance with the rules. If your company is capable of producing something as complex as a printer, encoding the device’ serial number into a bunch of yellow microdots that you add to the printout shouldn’t be an issue.

Stay vigilant. Content about “Political correctness gone mad!” is step one of the alt-right pipeline.

You can compare the WPT test results of many different browsers here. Its surprising to me that Servo lags behind Ladybird in successfully passed WPT tests.

Lunduke is an alt-right shithead.

Obsidian stores the notes in a well known plaintext format on your computer. They can’t easily hold you hostage like with other closed source apps.

devenv.sh contains invasive telemetry that literally exfiltrates your entire repo to their servers.

I don’t get it, unrestricted Jus soli is only really common in the new world. The Vatican doesn’t seem out of the ordinary regarding this.

I use and like posteo but their refusal to allow custom domain names, for in my opinion dubious reasons, should not go unmentioned.

I unsubscribed and deleted my Kagi account mainly because of their attitude to data privacy but also because of their nutjob CEO. When I subscribed I was excited because I thought they wanted to build a proper competitor to other search engine operators, but they are actually just another company that tries to shove AI into absolutely everything. So, after realising that they are an untrustworthy company full of tech maximalists trying to build the torment nexus, I immediately canceled my subscription and moved back to duckduckgo and marginalia. Maybe I give SearXNG another go, it’s just that selfhosting is a bit of a bother.
