  • I like Simplewall.
    By default, it blocks everything and shows you a popup whenever an app or service tries to make a connection, similar to LittleSnitch for MacOS if you’re familiar with that.
    The first few minutes can be a bit annoying as you figure out just how many background services in Windows are trying to phone home, but after that, great peace of mind knowing nothing will talk to the internet without you knowing.
    Definitely overkill for most users, but if you don’t mind the initial burden, highly recommend.



  • A short while ago, Jimmy Secretan posted this response on everything that happened today:
    “We have paused everything related to our Fediverse ingestion for now and we are removing everything ingested.
    To be honest, the extreme negative reaction was a surprise to me, as I thought interaction between disparate systems was the entire point, but clearly we didn’t navigate the culture correctly.”

    Make the world a better place, bully your local tech bro today!
