If you don’t have a SIM pin on your phone, anyone can call your cell phone carrier and get access to your SIM, without your phone. It’s vulnerable to all kinds of things, the biggest of which is SIM swapping. It also doubles as a nice way to see all of your online accounts in one place too.Īlso if you’re really lazy, if the online service you use offers google/apple sign in, use that instead. Generate unique, hard to guess passwords for every website you sign up for. Using the same email is fine, but not the same password. You don’t use the same key for a safe and your front door, don’t use the same key across online accounts either. Quality information from sources you can trust is EXPENSIVE. The truth is, while access to the internet costs money, it’s debatable how much money it should cost, but I know this, information does NOT want to be free, it never has. You’ll notice more and more people want to get paid for what they do directly instead of involving shady ad middlemen like google, facebook and data brokers. As for the free and open internet, it’s dying. Either set up an /etc/hosts file or use a service like NextDNS that lets you block ads and gives you really fast dns resolution. I know we all like free stuff, but ad tech has gone too far. The point of websites is to load quickly and get out of your way. Do not leave tabs open longer than you need to. Javascript can do a lot, even in a browser like Safari.
#Toweb sucks code
You should not trust the code that is running there. Good tab hygieneĭon’t leave tabs open forever. The sad truth is most programmers are poor as heck nowadays and they will sell off their extension to the highest bidder so they can keep their programming addiction alive. I don’t care how many times you’ve seen a grammarly ad or whatever, NO EXTENSIONS.
#Toweb sucks pro
Switch (back) to Firefox or do what I do, go out, buy yourself an overpriced macbook pro and use Safari. Chrome is a large part of what is wrong with the internet today. Fast forward 12 years and that is no longer the case. It’s 2020, I know your hacker nephew told you use to chrome back in 2008, because it was fast, clean and free of bloat.
Come along with me on this journey and we’ll get you in control of the web, not the other way around.
#Toweb sucks software
Over the years I’ve curated a finely tuned BS meter and a finely tuned sense of what software is good and which is bad. So, what can YOU do to make your internet experience better? If you’re old like me, you are not alone and you are not imagining things, it was better back in the day. It’s definitely not the calm, curious, entertaining place it was once. It’s grown into a monster since the 90s with things like javascript and the advertising economy. So that makes my advice ✨priceless ✨haha. I’ve been a programmer since I was kid, I’m in a unique position, because I’m old enough to have seen the internet since it went commercial from the ARPANET in the early 90s and young enough to understand the appeal of things like tiktok.
