In Germany, there is this art project "Stolpersteine" (stumbling stones): In front of houses where deported families used to live, a few bricks of the sidewalk are replaced with brass plates bearing the names and some basic info about those people.
I know of one case where the current owners of a house complained about Stolpersteine being installed in front of their door.
They inherited the house from their grandparents and everyone knows how *they* got it...

Absurderweise war es ja der CDU-Kanzler Kohl, der wesentlichen Anteil daran hatte, dass es die Schengener Abkommen überhaupt gab.

Lol, Thunderbird macht bei Plaintext-Mails aus allen Wörtern mit Gender-Doppelpunkt einen Link, weil es denkt, der Wortstamm sei ein Netzwerk-Protokoll.

fwiw, they do ship an app called FFUpdater, which, as far as its UI suggests, downloads the packages from Mozilla/Github. Updates are still manual, though does mostly cut out the F-Droid-in-the-middle.

Lass mal das Beichtgeheimnis durch eine Sünden-Meldepflicht ersetzen.
Nur so als Diskussionsgrundlage.

Jesus Christ, what an absurd shitshow is going on in the comments to the post from @mozilla announcing they'll discontinue their fedi instance?
When they first started it, everyone was like "muuuh they should focus on #Firefox instead". Now that they turn it off, everyone is like "muuuhh you suck" and discussing their preferred weird Firefox forks (??).
Yes, it's okay to be critical of #Mozilla, but please don't use everything they do as an opportunity for a shitstorm.

@atom Time to install XP Antispy.
Seriously, XP had a reputation for being overloaded with bloat back in the day. Ironically, its now remembered as simple and uncomplicated, because all versions that came after were even worse in that regard.

Scroll down on the page.
Also, someone did an art exhibit some years ago with a machine where you could "earn" the US minimum wage by turning a handle on an otherwise useless machine, and watch the pennies fall out: https://mymodernmet.com/minimum-wage-machine/

@Jain They created a problem and then marketed the solution.
And since they have taught the general public not to care about how technology works, most people won't realize that the essential part of the tracking infrastructure was on their own phones to begin with.
