    1. You should use a VPN or an tracker blocker like DuckduckGo. This is the only way to slow down the information you are sending out. You might not be able to completely stop Google and Samsung from tracking you, but there’s no reason to share yourself with all other data harvesting services.

    2. You have to obfuscate the info that makes it through by using multiple, unlinked Google accounts that let you put separate components of your life into separate silos.

    The Bible itself is never the problem.

    The problem is always the subservient idiot that thinks Constantine himself is holding the fasces to their neck and telling them to submit.

    Fix their relationship to the text and you can fix the Christian. 999/1000 they don’t know Greek or Hebrew and don’t know anything about the actual text anyways.

    IMO, the Bible is really interesting and you can learn a lot about humanity through the study of it. You could give a fuck what it says and be a better, more rounded human for it (and there are lot of avenues for that).

    And just to be clear about my point: the different religions the texts perpetuate are not anywhere near as compelling as a historical-critical examination of the texts themselves.



  • Google says Manifest v3 is being done “for security reasons” but what they don’t say is that it’s not for your security.

    It’s a Judge Dredd situation.

    Google is vertically integrating the roles of content provider (ads) and content server so that web pages load exactly the way the page’s developer expects them to. This necessarily excludes things that selectively filter content, like blockers.

    They’re essentially taking an open framefork for the web and replacing it with interactive pdfs, that show exactly what the web developer wants, and collects exactly the information the developer wants to know about you.

    If you think you should have more control, use Firefox. Anyone using Chrome is complict at this point.
