"i am shocked at how many people don't have an actively hostile relationship with advertising"
I moved to Linux, use Freetube, LineageOS on the phone, listen all day to internet radios from the command line, browser with uBlock add on and it's been years since I saw or listened an ad.

Best Abstract Ever
I would say most funny... but the worst because you have to read the whole paper to know what it is about.

Huh??
It refers to the ability to locate the source of a sound. It supposes that the localization is achieved only by the difference of the time of arrival of the sound to both ears. That's why the curve is a hyperbola, which is the set of points which distances to the foci (ears) have the same difference, so you couldn't differentiate which of all the points in the hyperbola is the actual source (confusion). But this is too simplistic, the auditory system is much more sophisticated and the source can be localized by other means.

Which is better: Linux or GNU/Linux

It's not unusual to see people talking about android users being Linux users "because android is Linux too" clearly not understanding the difference between Linux the OS, i.e. GNU/Linux, and Linux the kernel. So it's useful when you have to make such a distinction.

Is it worth even trying with a samsung?
No, IMO. For a real private android experience you have to switch to Lineage or Graphene and F-droid apps. I'm writing this from a Galaxy A5 2016 with LineageOS with F-droid only apps in one (main) profile and WhatsApp and a couple of other (in my case, sadly unavoidable) proprietary apps in another profile.
Here is a list of supported phones by LineageOS in case you are willing to switch.

Large-scale online deanonymization with LLMs
So it seems that letting LLMs to write sloppy posts for us can be useful after all. May be c/privacy should implement an automatic AI reformating XD

Surveillance protects people from terrorism, and sacrificing some privacy makes us safer.

No daily anxiety at all, just being aware of the dangers. When I drive and see a red light I just stop, there is no anxiety involved, I'm just aware of the dangers of crossing. If you are not aware of the dangers of the excessive digital exposure and surveillance you should subscribe to this community and read what's going on in China and in an increasing number of western countries in relation to this.

It's about time it's also the title of one of the best introductory books on relativity by David Mermin. Specially for those who aren't good at math but want to understand it beyond popular science books.

What to do about being unable to use a custom ROM?
Don't fall into the illusion that you can have privacy with stock android. Google has admittedly igrored user settings to continue spying them.
