Because I am not sure if I want a 3rd party “controlling” my trafic. It sucks that my behavior is shared around in ad networks but I am not sure if the ad blocking components are more trustworthy. There are certainly good solutions out there but I am sceptic of the explosion of new ad blocking tools. Having said that, I never did a deep research to check if my scepticism is justified…

askswitzerland@feddit.ch•[Crosspost] Any suggestions, experiences with the swiss ISPs when setting up a home media server or NAS?English
3·3 years agoNote that since recently some cheaper providers (especially UPC and its sub brands) have switched to CGNAT, which does not support port fowarding as your modem does not get its own IP assigned. I have been always happy with iWay, Init7 and Green.ch. they are only slightly more expensive (except Init7) but their service is awesome and super nerdy :)

politics @lemmy.world•Republican lawmakers want to stop businesses in a small Florida town from displaying rainbow stickers to show they are a safe place for LGBTQ+ peopleEnglish
11·3 years agoAs a non-Anerican I read that Florida is being awful to a lot of people and I wonder, if people there notice a difference in rural or urban areas? Do people start to migrate to other states? Does it have an impact on the state and its economy? Or are these just impotent talking points designed to engage voters but with no effect on public life? Would love to hear from residents how to relativize all those horrible headlines…

Technology@lemmy.world•Google engineers want to make ad-blocking (near) impossibleEnglish
11·3 years agoA point made by Morten Rand-Hendriksen: We software engineers are not real engineers. Unlike other kind of engineers, we do not have to follow industry code of conudct like meachincal engineers or civil engineers. We are just a bunch dudes that learned to use tensorflow on stackoverflow. That is why our work is dangerous and we can always just “be told” what to do for money.
Airplanes could not be built like that. Calling ourselfs “engineers” is misleading as it suggest we follow some ethics or code of conduct. It will hurt us on the long run.


Is there a reason fish would orient the map that way?
