I understand what you’re saying, but if you’ve ever uploaded a picture or video of yourself to the Internet, they already had enough for surveillance.

A lot of people don’t care that much and opting out is your right if you do care.

“if you’re unhappy about having your face scanned, opt out and make a painful process even more painful!”

I get what they’re saying, but sometimes it just isn’t with the effort. I moved 1300 miles away from my family (single, no kids) so I fly pretty frequently now. I can get through Fort Lauderdale airport, which is pretty big in ten minutes from the curb to my gate…and that’s with like 50-100 people in line with me.

I’m also a 38 year old white guy so it’s a US citizen with no criminal record, so that makes it easier compared to someone that looks Middle Eastern. My friends are Italian-American, but look Middle Eastern and have definitely been “randomly selected” before though.

I’ve been using android since 2010, and it’s gotten significantly better over the years. There’s only a few things it doesn’t back up, like text messages and app data, most of which you don’t need.

It’s unrelated to StackOverflow or Firefox I’m pretty sure, I got it too randomly.

The Shield is great for playing media, but it’s definitely not under €100 (at least the last time I checked, I’m also American). Also changing our the launcher doesn’t stop all the “phoning home” that everything does, DNS blocking will help with that though. Also, the hardware isn’t as great as it used to be.

VMs have a ton of overhead compared to Docker. VMs replicate everything in the computer while Docker just uses the host for everything, except it sandboxes the apps.

In theory, VMs are far more secure since they’re almost entirely isolated from the host system (assuming you don’t have any of the host’s filesystems attached), they are also OS agnostic whereas Docker is limited to the OS it runs on.

Keep in mind that the hardlink and the source file need to exist within the same filesystem.
