PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT:
There is an increase of account takeovers due to insiders at telco firms simply giving control to people paying them. Do a check on systems where this single factor would permit an account compromise. And change the configuration. These are opportunistic trawling attacks. This is becoming more common as attackers replicate the success.
The attacker uses other channels (like people search websites) to enumerate and guess the phone number attached to an online account and then checks against the telco they have control over.
The insider only briefly temporarily forwards the victim number to a 3rd party then switches it back to normal once they’re in. This is how they stay quiet since most victims will not have leverage or telemetry to understand how they got hacked.
It was their cell phone provider.
Make it so account recovery systems require multiple factors and remove telephony-based recovery for VIP accounts entirely.
Go check your systems now. Go try to access all your stuff like you forgot your password.
I am very serious.

Best mainstream option for sure, but Librewolf (a fork of Firefox) has more privacy-focused defaults. It even bundles uBlock Origin, which you should be using anyway.

On Windows:
71% Google Chrome
14% Microsoft Edge
9% Mozilla Firefox
4% Opera
2% Yandex Browser
Note: except for Firefox, all of these are Chromium-based.

Bonus: you later discover that the crossed-out one is correct, so you circle it, and cross the other one out *twice*.
@LoganFive
How this happens: you forget that you changed it, and also forget where you have it written, so you reset it back to what you thought it was.

[PLEASE BOOST | URGENT] With 0w0.is shutting down I am needing a place to migrate my Fediverse account as I would still like to use Fedi.
If anyone has any suggestions for instances PLEASE let me know!!! I prefer an akkoma based instance if possible but i’m flexiable!
Instance must be okay with me posting monthly mutual aid requests as without them I starve, lack of what little medical I have, etc. Preferably a trans/queer server or trans/queer safe I am an anarchist so something along the lines of that would be cool too!

Come check out the 80s MMO Habitat, developed by Lucasfilm Games, this Friday through the NeoHabitat client. Streamer BogusMeatFactory will be hosting a meetup so people can play the game at the same time and experience the game the way it was meant to be played. See the article here for more details

"Lasagna or Doom Level?"
Five up-close photos of lasagna intermixed with three Doom screenshots, with nothing to mark which is which. The fire-and-brimstone of the Doom levels and the sauce-and-cheese of the lasagnas have a similar range of red/orange/yellow. The top-left image is surprisingly ambiguous.

In case anyone missed it, this is not a Google-specific addon. It works equally well in DuckDuckGo for example.

With the end of the year in sight, I am very happy to announce that dotAGE has now sold more than 30k copies on Steam!
This is an indie dream made real! Not even in my wildest dreams I would have thought of reaching such a milestone!! Thank you so much for all your support!

Best addon after uBlock Origin
https://github.com/iorate/ublacklist
It allows you to remove some websites from your Google search results.
Bye, Quora, GeeksForGeeks, Pinterest, fandom.com etc.-etc.

The solution is for ads to be matched to the webpage, not to the visitor. The ads become more relevant, there's no overhead for user tracking, and it helps undo the alienation.
#DuckDuckGo and #EthicalAds are good examples of this approach.
