I'm disappointed, I expected to see at least one trampoline.
Turned my shitty Intel Atom 32-bit laptop with just 1GB of RAM into a useful lightweight workstation
Debian is good for this. Enjoy it while there is still 32-bit support though. Edit- do you have any swap configured?
The researchers have discovered that automatic content recognition (ACR) tracking is active most of the time, even when TVs are used as “dumb” HDMI devices. In other words, the TV manufacturers are monitoring your private moments as well. There’s apparently no monitoring of streaming content in the UK, but there is in the US.
The only good news is that these TVs can seemingly be configured to disable ACR, provided the owners know this activity is taking place and are able to find the right settings. (I recently looked at the configuration of our TVs again, and understanding the various settings was far from easy.)

Had she not accepted it, I'm sure they would have found someone else willing to accept their kind donation.
Not guilty, m'lud.
It's unfortunate that they missed out on Trade Union recognition at the Coventry facility recently. I'm sure GMD (or others) will keep on trying though.

The new Craigslist.
The star of Citizen Smith, GBH and much more on the ‘genius’ of James Graham’s BBC drama, his unlikely way into acting, and learning to simmer down on social media
I did check that out and their web page. It says
When it's needed for the website to work properly, it will automatically accept the cookie policy for you (sometimes it will accept all and sometimes only necessary cookie categories, depending on what's easier to do)
So maybe I'll test it alongside Ublock.
I'm going to take this one away, create a new FF profile and configure. That way I can compare results with my original profile.
selectively, I hope.
There is Easylist Ads (currently enabled) and EasyList/uBO – Cookie Notices (disabled) should I enable this?
It's something I should research more then.
As far as laws go, I'm in the UK and AFIAK privacy laws are still the same as before we left the EU. Other countries such as the US seem to have less strict laws (apart from the CCPA) which means a lot of US news sites I visit will geoblock me as they don't want to comply with EU standards.
What does Ublock Origin do with cookies?
I have been using Firefox with Ublock Origin as my main browser for a long while. Usually when I get a privacy prompt, I reject cookies, or maybe some sites that are more difficult take me a to a panel that wants me to switch off loads of individual trackers.
How does Ublock handle the cookies? Obviously some are required for site functionality, such as being logged in here, but if I accept cookies (or can't reject them) then presumably they are still accepted? Or does it accept the essential ones and delete third-party trackers?
