It doesn't have any significant effect in my experience. Maybe it's my browsing habits that I frequently visit a large number of sites that are new (think sites linked from HN).
Most of the services I use are not behind Buttflare. Various blogs linked from here often are, unfortunately (and people don't even change the default captcha settings when they have static blogs that don't ever need to prevent bots from visiting!) but privacy pass sometimes works.
Just about every site out there is on cloudflare these days and cloudflare has decided to consider every connection from a total exit point as suspicious activity. Hence you get a captcha for almost every site you visit. Eternally stuck in captcha hell...
Where does most of the Mozilla Corporation's money come from?
I'm not trying to cast stones here, but they're still primarily (last time I checked) funded by Google- not users. Your incentives are aligned with the people who pay you.
Although I, since a couple of years, ride (and preach) 50mm tires I believe it should be mentioned that Jan Heine's writings aren't exactly independent and objective research. He makes his money selling (mostly) wide and supple tires (Rene Herse, formerly Compass). They're not always as superior[1] as he likes to point out.
If you want to try wider tires (and your frame can fit them) there are alternatives to (the expensive) Compass tires. Try Maxxis DTH for 26" wheels and Torch for 28". Panaracer makes a bunch of supple and wide models. Pacenti Pari-Moto (made by Panaracer) nice and cheap. Also have a look at Schwalbe G-One Speed (available in a wide selection of sizes). Maxxis are cheaper in the US, Schwalbe are cheaper in Europe.
Make the transition to those technologies a top priority in each sector. Like installing solar and wind energy as fast as it can be done. House heating should be done with heat pumps in most locations, so any new heating system installed should be low CO2.
Make a big push for electric cars. Norway is at over 50% electric in the new cars already. But for that, the car manufacturers need urgently to ramp up their production capacity for electric cars.
Hope you have it backed up, because they die sooner or later. For me it was sooner, for my friend it was later. Some soldering problem if I recall things right. A bootloop is the first (and sometimes the last sign).
> Hope you have it backed up, because they die sooner or later
Tangential to your point, but is there anything useful that isn't backed up more or less by default in the standard Android workflow? I get that the privacy-concerned wouldn't use eg Google Photos, but they also likely heavily overlap with the set of people savvy enough to set up backup solutions for important data.
Plenty of apps can't be backed up (Google's TOTP App for example), at least in my experience, recovering from Android's native backup is just as good as dumping your SD card and having sync setup for applications that support it, which isn't a lot.
I can confirm that. My Nexus 5X died with bootloop after the warranty was over and all the googling led me to make peace with the fact that it was a soldering issue, hence a manufacturing defect.
