Can you force the browser to send a cookie header to the DuckDuckGo website? I think there are plugins that add headers to specific websites.





no one at Microsoft gives a single fuck about their users anymore

I don’t think they ever did.



It will vary by actor. For example, the US military doesn’t like Strava because of its social running feature.

You need to think of the threat model for different actors and groups. There’s a lot of talk now about menstrual tracking for women in the US. Most of it won’t be obvious.


using a VPN ultimately consists in trusting the company providing the VPN service that it won’t be fucking around with your privacy. Considering that all your traffic goes through it, that’s a lot of trust to place in one company.

Is that any different than the trust we place in our ISPs?

I agree with you. I fully expect my ISP/VPN provider to sell my traffic data, but I don’t see the value in paying a VPN do to it.

We haven’t quite gotten to that point.

My take is that kids can post non-identifying content as long as there’s no public comment section. I’m not sure how that’ll work out, but we’ll try it (or whatever we negotiate) when it comes time.


My wife and I negotiated that we don’t post kids photos, names, or specifics to open groups. Emailing them is okay. Posting to closed groups is okay.

It’s been a few years, and it’s working out so far.


Part of relationships is accepting people. They behave the way they do because they have values and preferences and don’t always align with ours. Respect that. Make your case, but respect that they may not come to the same conclusions you do.
