Maybe safe is the wrong word in my post. I mean keeping the data safe from meta in the respect that I don't want them to have it. Their record in data privacy is not so great so I'm keen to keep my data away from Meta if I can.

 

I'm a big advocate for data privacy and I left Facebook many years ago without feeling the need to go back. However, there's several local groups and a couple of local businesses that specifically communicate via Facebook that I'd like to interact with.

This presents a problem - I have to use the platform to interact with these people but I don't want to use the platform. So how do I keep my data safe from Zucks greedy hands? So far I'm thinking:

  • use a throwaway email or email that is specifically for fb
  • only access via Firefox inprivate browser and use addons to clean cookies after every session
  • utilise ad blockers in said browser
  • set fb privacy settings accordingly to opt out of ad personalisation, othrr site fb logins etc
  • potentially only access via VPN but that might be cumbersome
  • maybe do all of this via android work profile but not sure if that's much benefit

Anything else I can do to remain reasonably safe?

+1 for reaper. Its free to "demo" forever with no limitations and is much closer to a traditional DAW than audacity. So many plugins and scripts to customise too, such a great tool I can never recommend it enough to anyone wanting to do anything from simple audio edits/conversions to full fat tracking and mixing sessions.

Also adding my English condolences, can't agree with you strongly enough. UK is fucked, need to emigrate

Factorio cranking up towards 800 hours with the new expansion out. I dread to think how many hours got sunk into WoW over the years....

A drawer full of emergency makeshift weapons? Yes. Also a junk drawer? Yes, more than one.

Like others have said it depends on the field you want to code for and language choice. The field might inform your language choice.

I'd highly recommend python as your first if you're just looking to get stuck in. It'll teach good fundamentals, it doesn't have a steep learning curve and it has a very wide set of applications plus loads of community support. This website is what I recommend to anyone wanting to learn python: https://futurecoder.io/

Good luck!

Me and a few friends do a regular co-op games night once a week and we've just finished up our last game (Valheim). So we're turning to Minecraft. We like to play games to "completion" so in for minecraft that would be killing the ender dragon without using cheats.

Is that possible on this server? I can see there's a few mods installed but hoping they wouldn't be game breaking.
