"I became an Anarchist when I decided to drop the theories and stop seeking power. When I stopped concerning myself with those things I realised that true Anarchy is my nature. It is our nature. It is what we were doing before the theories arrived, it is what we were doing before we were encouraged to be in competition with each other."
- Benjamin Zephaniah, 'Why I Am an Anarchist'
As part of our plan to overhaul our VPN section at privacytools.io, we can now proudly present our now VPN layout: https://www.privacytools.io/providers/vpn/
Note that we can still add a few refinements later on. Also at the end of 2019 we will re investigate all vpns listed, and lock the amount of providers we recommend to 3.
What do you all think?
The fediverse is big. The map of the fediverse is starting to reflect that!

@privacytools now has an encrypted DNS recommendations list π―β¨
Brilliant.
βGrand Theft Auto and Red Dead Redemption publisher Rockstar Games has been accused of tax avoidance in a new report. Investigative thinktank Tax Watch UK states in its report that Rockstar's combined companies paid zero corporation tax in the United Kingdom between 2009 and 2018, despite lifetime sales of Grand Theft Auto V totaling an estimated US $6 billion.β

Nice. So Equifax's data breach claim page has Twitter, Facebook, Microsoft, and Google trackers.
Show your solidarity with Iranian devs having their GitHub accounts restricted by US sanctions.

I just call it Microsoft GitHub these days. Does half the job of communicating the risks of it being a hard dependency for FOSS projects in particular.
"the ads don't bother me much. i hardly notice them anymore" is such a cursed thing to hear, every time i hear it
If you're a US citizen, don't forget to collect your $125+ from Equifax's data-breach settlement: https://www.equifaxbreachsettlement.com/

hey, eric is multiply disabled and needs an electric wheelchair to get around, but the healthcare system being what it is makes it impossible for one person to afford on their own! he's running a campaign to help him afford the wheelchair he needs to continue being a speaker and student and if you can it'd be really good to help him get the accessibility he needs to do the things he wants to do!
And now the Gist has been removed. But itβs available on Archive.is: https://archive.is/hi5o1
Gorhill's proof-of-concept extension code is still up: https://gist.github.com/gorhill/b0316e35d4e7e4a44df39e8b7fa5ac20. His tweets about it though have been deleted.
Great... looks like the Chrome team is denying public access to this... and it wasn't captured beforehand in the wayback machine..
Hey everyone: be sure to lock your accounts.
