What they write there is wrong on so many levels that it is downright cheeky.
Their goal with tracking is to undermine my privacy as much as possible and not to protect it. Then they boldly lie to my face that they want to protect my privacy but I have to deactivating my blocking add-ons for it?
I use Firefox with "uBlock Origin", "Cookie AutoDelete" and "I don't care about cookies". In my opinion, this is the minimum configuration for safe surfing on the ad-infested Internet. I can no longer take anyone who doesn't like this seriously.

Rather than right-clicking on the script and selecting "Edit" to make his small change, Ricardo had instead executed the script. On his production machine. The machine that stored all of his carefully constructed scripting – not to mention absolutely everything else he needed to do his job.
And of course there was no "Are you sure Y/N?" to save Ricardo's skin, was there? With a fraction of a second, the script merrily started eating away the hard drive … and Ricardo's livelihood.

It's a French #NGO fighting for a free Internet. They have a #Jabber / #XMPP server running with a wrong configuration at: https://jabber.lqdn.fr - The #onion address of the server must be changed to a V3 address since the latest update of #TOR. Then the new onion address must be entered here: https://jabber.lqdn.fr/access-our-chat-server-using-tor-and-onion-address - Such an onion address is important for the anonymity of whistleblowers, because they don't want their IP logged.

Ayé, je suis sous Mageia 8, bon pas sans boulettes qui m'ont amenée à essayer quasiment tous les environnements de bureaux proposés pour revenir à un XFCE configuré à la main. J'ai gardé, mes fonds d'écran, dont celui que j'ai dessiné pour l'écran principal, et redessiné presque toutes les icônes du tableau de bord. Peut-être un future thème d'icônes pour XFCE ?
Et alors oui, il n'y a rien dessus, c'est volontaire.
Tout a été dessiné avec Inkscape.
