politics @lemmy.world•Justices Seem Ready to Give Trump More Power to Fire Independent Government Officials
4·46 minutes agoSo, not independent. Cool.
Fuckheads.
Below you’ll find some other useful things, although they aren’t exactly related to ad-blocking:
-
Browser extensions against annoyances:
- Cookie popups: Consent-O-Matic
- Captchas: Buster
-
I’d also suggest SponsorBlock — it has saved me so much time. There’s also an option for TVs and streaming devices.
-
If you’re on iOS, consider turning off Background App Refresh. Only a few apps use Background App Refresh as Apple designed it, the majority are simply abusing it to get more data about you. If you don’t have always-on VPN, you risk exposing your real IP.
-
Patched apps are also a thing, and it’s also possible to patch mobile apps yourself via ReVanced. While it’s a decent option, it’s also a security risk — I’m careful with it and don’t use it with sensitive accounts.

23·2 days agoIn a memo obtained by the non-profit news outlet Prism, DoJ official Tammie M. Gregg told prison auditors across the nation to “immediately pause” all “compliance determinations” for key safety rules concerning LGBTQI+ inmates, and advise prisons to “disregard” them.
Holy shit, Tammie M Gregg was former director of the National Prison Project for the ACLU. Goddamn.
Tammie M. Gregg was the Deputy Director for the ACLU’s National Prison Project. Tammie also led the ACLU’s Stop Solitary campaign. Tammie came to NPP from a long and distinguished career with the U.S. Department of Justice and other federal agencies. After beginning her career with law firms in Minneapolis and Washington, in 2000 she joined DOJ as a trial attorney in the Civil Rights Division. From 2003 to 2011 she was a senior attorney in the Special Litigation Section, where she worked on cases involving prisons, jails, and policing. She rose to the level of Principal Deputy Chief of the Section, where she provided day-to-day supervision to a staff of over 70 people.
What the actual goddamned fuck
