Ooh! A #fediverse enabled "#newsletter platform"!

I had a newsletter, once upon a time.

But not no more.

I felt uncomfortable possessing a list of #email addresses, and guilty for spamming the list once a month (I don't believe I missed a month, while I maintained the list).

Then, one day, the light dawned.

I realised that I could just as easily post my "news" to my own #Website, and let those who want to read it, read it there.

And I thought to myself: "Why hasn't anyone else ever (EVAR!1!) had such a radical, liberating, privacy-maintaining idea before me???"

(Hey, reply-guys: I know the answer; it's OK, you don't need to inform me that the #datamining was the whole point.)

After all, Abbot IS being paid for this product, whether by me or my insurer is irrelevant. So, we pay but then they take MORE???!?

This isn't Twitter, where I can live perfectly fine without using it, or I can choose to use their service in exchange for #dataveillance and #DataMining.

Abbot is pursuing supremely NOT cool corporate overreach, IMO.

Oh, #Canada! You had me at "fake wolves". Makes you wonder what else they're getting up to, eh?

@OmaymaS @emilymbender One level deeper. I just experienced a text to my cell phone. It was a political Actblue donation link with a Barack Obama lead in. I google the number--it's the number to a specialty pharmacy that I use to get my medication and my doctor. I do some other searching and find it's a Voip in Maryland. I have given thousands of dollars to progressive political causes. #AI and #datamining are a dream for #Phishing and #Spoofing scumbags. #GeoffreyHinton was right. #BeCareful

“Levy describes a system that has almost reached perfection. The political echelon wants to maintain the status quo, and the military provides it with legitimacy in exchange for funds and status.”

“Levy points out the gradual withdrawal of the old Ashkenazi middle class from the ranks of the combat forces[…]:
• the military’s complete reliance on technology as a decisive factor in warfare;
• the adoption of the concept […] of an army that is “small and lethal”;
• the obsession with the idea of #deterrence, which is supposed to negate the other side’s will to fight; and
• the complete addiction to the status quo as the only possible and desirable state of affairs.”

I released a new version of the DomainClassifier python library with improved performance and built-in caching. Thanks to @terrtia for the contribution.

DomainClassifier is a simple Python library to extract and classify Internet domains/hostnames/IP addresses from raw unstructured text files following their existence, localization or attributes.

DomainClassifier can be used to extract Internet hosts from any free texts or collected unstructured information. It's for example used in @ail_project to guess all potential hostname/domain from any text.

Can anyone help with a #cookie #privacy #security #DataMining #PayPal question?

I'm setting up print sales on my site, using WooCommerce and PayPal. PayPal sets cookies when people visit my site (not just when using checkout) but I don't want it to.

How do I block PayPal from setting cookies on visitors' devices? I'm guessing there are a few lines of code somewhere that I need to delete or comment out?

I tried using my site's cart and checkout (still hidden at the moment) with all cookies blocked in Firefox and it seemed to work fine, so it doesn't seem like this is necessary for the checkout to function, but is just PayPal being creepy.
