Localsend has a config named 'auto-accept' or whatever it's called, in advanced settings.

Jaimie Johnson who filmed the documentary Born Rich (and its sequel) pissed off enough of his family and peers that he was almost thrown out of high society for exposing its underbelly. He also lives a pretty normal life echewing his family fortune which is pretty dope. Might be along the lines of what you're looking for. Good films either way.

ETA check out The One Percent as well, his follow-up from the first film.

100%. I worked with an old-timer Newfoundlander who delighted in telling me that in the ought-sorties when he was a teen he passed out in a dinghy on the dock after a night of drinking and woke up at sea as an accidental stow-away on some merchant ship. He hid as long as he could but eventually got caught and it was some ship/crew from the eastern hemisphere and (to hear him tell it) threatened him with going overboard unless he got to work in the galley so that's what he did. He said he sailed with them all over the world for two or three years before landing in Canada again and decided to take a stroll around his former community to learn that his family had assumed him dead, had the whole funeral or whatever, case closed in their minds. I asked him if he looked up his people to let them know and he was like fuck that shit I hated all of them with a passion! so he went back out to sea and did that most of his life. He was hilarious.

I'm happy they did it. But I'm also questioning how much difference it'll make in a province taken over by anti-vax paranoia and a whole region of people who more than half believe things life safe-use sites and safer-supply and harm reduction are a scam of some kind, in the face of the tainted opiate crisis that has been raging for a couple decades already. Hundreds of doctors have already been screaming about that.

TL:DR I don't believe the wider population gives a flying fuck what doctors have to say at this point. I wish it wasn't true, but it seems pretty obvious by now.

It's fucked that natpo takes an objectively good thing and tries to stoke fear with it. Oh no! Whatever will we do without cdn companies profiting off of slave labor!

Fuckin anyways.

I also use adblocking at multiple levels so it wasn't a huge thing for me (been blocking Pocket and other bullshit for years at the dns and network levels) but I still feel like Mozilla witnessed Google going for broke with killing mv2 and inline ads on YouTube and decided wellll our existing users probably wouldn't notice or care if we slipped in an opt-out fuckery... But we did. Immediately.

For any browser trying to sell itself as "the only privacy browser on the market" this was a dumb fucking move by any metric. Like why not just openly admit we're going with the Brave browser model?

No it's not. But if we're hoping Firefox will be better in some way we'd expect more from them. Wouldn't we?

Should probably add this info about Mozilla funding almost exclusively from Google but at least they haven't disabled mv2 extensions yet. Even though they put in a fucking opt-out ad telemetry setting in recent releases.

Granted, you're using a home setup. But you could still consider setting up the VPN on a central AP and repeating your hotspot through it to make everything going in and out of your network encrypted and more secure. None of your actual traffic (besides what your phone is emitting) will be in the clear, which is better than nothing.

Almost any router with VPN and repeater options will accomplish this if you don't wanna root your phone. I've flashed OpenWRT on the equivalent of router potatoes over the years. It's pretty straightforward.
