The fact that browsers implement tracking prevention and a distraction-free reading mode tells a lot about the general state of the web.

Who said: "I think it's important that we don't all get Stockholm syndrome and let the companies that work hard to charge you more convince you that they actually care more about you. Because that sounds ridiculous to me."

I'm reading a graphic novel called Red Rosa about Dr. Luxemburg's life. What a human!
