A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Not related to fediverse, just a general common sense of data collection: And website/service that does not require registration(openly viewable) or with free account(low entry barrier) you should not post any personal info there even if you say, used a vpn, cause they are free to crawl with bots. That means, don't "ever" register for porn websites(I don't get why people would ever do that, that's beyond me), don't click stuff without tab/sm container(cause the hidden auth token used by social media website can actually track you), and to some extend, if you truly want to also hide your pattern(regularly used phrase, grammar error, typo etc that can be used to build a profile out to identify you), run a local AI or spell checker that auto fix your post and rephrase sentences for you.
It's pretty simple really, just don't post anything and think twice before you post something on publicly available forum/social media.
Really great practices I know I need to be practicing more regularly. Thanks for the reminder.
