How do you think news sites earn money? They do not provide that content for free,
you are their product of which they benefit.

I use NoScript,
which tells me about each JavaScript piece a website has, most if not all of them contain trackers (= data collection).

Each article,
links to a news site,
which is riddled with data trackers,
which collects info about you,
which is sold.

In addition the sites contain advertisements.

Only these 2:

Because they:

  • Spam up your feed
  • Spread depressing content (since it attracts more attention thus earns them more)
  • Try to manipulate you

Citra, internal resolution x9,
and you've got yourself an early access to this :)

No need to pay Nintendont, the law-suit company that makes games on the side, again for a game you already bought in the past.

I feel you :/

I'd answer with:
Because it's a privacy nightmare.

They'll answer with:
I don't care about privacy,
I've got nothing to hide.

I'll answer with:
That's a dumb reply,
my privacy is not important,
but systematic privacy is,
if we don't care about it,
we'll end up in a oppressed surveillance state like China.

And then they say "huh" and likely will continue to not care.. ;-;

However it does make some aware,
in which I'm putting my faith.

All I want to know is how it can be removed / disabled permanently from my work laptop when it reaches it.

Imo cuz people are too PC (Politically Correct) buthurt lately.

I'd even flip the tables, and call it racist if you won't allow other races to dress up / admire your own race.

Ofc doing it to make fun / be a dick about other races is not okay.

I won't disclose where I store mine.

But I'd recommend to:

  • Not backup your PW manager's database + key file in the same location
    (That would decrease security, x1 data breach would allow them to easily brute force your PW DB since they'll have the key)
  • Not go with a PW manager that does not allow you to choose a location where you desire to backup to (Seen plenty of mainstream PW managers getting data breached by now, so going with a cloud, which is not solely used for PW managers, has an advantage imo, since they tend to be less targeted by hackers)

I've been happily using KeeWeb + Keepass2Android for years now:
