What gives a bank the right to dictate what I spend my own money on because they "don't like it"?


I'd argue then that the parasite isn't the smartphone itself, but the big tech companies and advertisers


> Gangnam Style's identifier is 9bZkp7q19f0, for example.

Slightly disappointed they used Gangman Style instead of a rick roll for their YouTube link example :P


They also used this Star Wars R2D2 secret message: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uj1ykZWtPYI



Unless I'm not home and it's something I need to buy asap, I prefer to do all of my online purchases or managing money on a desktop or laptop.

Using my phone for "important" purchases or decisions/actions just feels incorrect to me.


Eerily beautiful. It's like a brigher, closer, probably more dangerous meteor shower.


> Every so often, they caught fire.

This is just so funny to me


You can already do this with a robots.txt file


Technically speaking, yes - but it's in no way enforced, as far as I understand it's more of an honour system.

This malicious solution aligns with incentives (or, disincentives) of the parasitic actors, and might be practically more effective.


> If other pages point to your page with descriptive text, Google could still index the URL without visiting the page. If you want to block your page from search results, use another method such as password protection or noindex.

> If your web page is blocked with a robots.txt file, its URL can still appear in search results, but the search result will not have a description.

So, a robots.txt will not keep your site off of google, it just prevents it from getting crawled. (But, to be fair, this tool probably does not do this as well)


LLDM (Large Language Dungeon Master)


In the settings on Firefox mobile, under Customize, you can choose between address bar on the top or on the bottom of the screen.

Personally I keep it at the bottom, as it's much closer to my thumbs and also the keyboard, so I don't have to adjust my hands to type in a url or search query.
