Data poisoning for your everyday tracking. Contribute to digital-grease/fauxx development by creating an account on GitHub.

Fauxx is an open-source Android privacy tool that poisons data broker and ad-tech profiles by generating continuous, plausible, off-demographic synthetic activity from your device. The goal is simple: make your real behavioral signal statistically indistinguishable from noise.

Not my project, but though this is really cool and worth sharing.

      Just here to say, there is an even better way to embed an xkcd in Lemmy Markdown.

      [![License Plate](https://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/license_plate.png "The next day: 'What? Six bank robberies!? But I just vandalized the library!' 'Nice try. They saw your plate with all the 1's and I's.' 'That's impossible! I've been with my car the whole ti-- ... wait. Ok, wow, that was clever of her.'")](https://xkcd.com/1105/)

      This will not only make the image into a link but also give the much required hover text.
      Like so…

      License Plate

      Feel free to make a Python (or sth) snippet that creates the link for you.

          If you are talking about the picture being easier to read, then that’s a renderer thing and is better off being fixed.
          If you are talking about the code being easier to read, yes. The line I made has a 3 features vs the 1 feature in 1 line of the former, so it is to be expected. And that’s why I don’t expect people to make it themselves (although I do make it manually).
