Love computers & f.lux @justgetflux app for PC/Mac. We need much brighter indoor lights for offices & very dim orange light after sunset for much better sleep.

@joerogan I'd like to see a mention of @DuckDuckGo app for Android to stop MASSIVE amounts of apps built-in tracking. I bet @Google is absolutely livid!

I worry big pharma is not the only monster looming on the horizon… big agricultural could turn this plant into something it wasn’t meant to be.

"There's something familiar about this place... I feel like ... Like we're being watched." – Luke Skywalker, but also, anytime anyone uses Google. #MayThe4thBeWithYou

Google users, here's how they're watching you: https://t.co/wKRscYfIX6

Firefox, the only major open-source and Google-code-free browser (Safari is not opensource but WebKit is based on such) but it needs new leadership.

The CEO for @mozilla said it would be far too great of a burden to reduce her two-million-dollar salary, yes, such a burden.

[DuckDuckGo @DuckDuckGo]

NEW: DuckDuckGo's Chrome extension now blocks Google's new tracking method "Topics" and new ad re-targeting method FLEDGE.

Google says they're better for privacy, but the simple fact is tracking is tracking, no matter what you call it.

[DuckDuckGo @DuckDuckGo]

Google Topics will automatically use your browsing history to infer your interests in topics (e.g., “Child Internet Safety”, “Personal Loans”, etc) & share info about you with advertisers and other 3rd parties without your consent.

[DuckDuckGo @DuckDuckGo]

Google's re-targeting method FLEDGE puts ad re-targeting technology directly into the Chrome browser so Google can continue to follow you around the web with creepy ads even after third-party cookies are gone, again without your consent.

[DuckDuckGo @DuckDuckGo]

Google Topics and FLEDGE are more attempts from Google to put lipstick on the privacy-invasion pig.

We recommend ditching Chrome, but if you must use it, block Topics & FLEDGE w/our extension, which helps protect your privacy holistically in Chrome.

@Google is major part of why we have very-high-spped FIBER, underwater connections, for world-wide communication.

At the same time as that, they track us, hundreds of times DAILY.

@DuckDuckGo stops LOTs of trackers, take back your digital freedom and basic rights to privacy

#DuckDuckGoApp blocks #Google app #trackers as well as #adobe and many more.HUBDREDS of attempts to track you.
Keep "ad companies" whatever those are, out of your device and contribute to a cleaner world with so much less network electricity misuse.

World-changing app.

Do you really REALLY need a new phone every 3 years? 🤔 Here's 3 reasons why hanging onto your current phone just makes sense.📱

The Life Cycle Assessment report of our Fairphone 4 is out and the results pretty much speak for themselves. Full report: https://t.co/wjhoe38Jii

@TRyanGregory @herf Is it sound to say that the more this mutates, the weaker it becomes?

What are your thoughts on hemp-fiber masks vs non-biodegradable micro and nano-plastic-causing "disposable" masks?

[David Dinenberg @daviddinenberg]

My hope is for people to have an open mind & not keep thinking about the #Cannabis stigmas that exist & do a little research & learn! Cannabis is a plant. It’s natural. It helps people. #LegalizeIt #FreeThePlant

[Tim Lux @timpster_lux]

Hey @neiltyson,

Do you think micro- and nano-plastics are as bad as lead pollution? Or close?

[Tim Lux @timpster_lux]

@EbbetsVintage what is the most widely used fabric at your company? Also do you have plans to utilize hemp?

@marijuanamoment Website layout:

First, text from one article runs down over the text over other article listings on homepage, add space, try Firefox text scaling 150 - 200%.

Second: PLEASE remove the bottom floating facebook / twitter buttons. So intrusive and distracting.
