Name of the Software Curious Person: Ayanoa

Situation: the big google and facebook conspiracy and how to argue with it to non-technical user

Description of situation at hand:

A lot of friends I meet have facebook, have no knowledge of the privacy issues and no way of making direct, strong and not annoying arguments. I want to subscribe in some online courses and they ask me directly if they can use my google account. All the time I say no. I cannot subscribe to these services. I give them a jetable address. But I loose a lot of time, lots of interconnections and I don't know if the webmaster implemented this, or if this is a big google conspiracy.

Directed to Services: RSOC

Total time available: 10-20

Estimated Time for service: 20

What would be a outcome:

Some recommendations and linking to something funny and "correct". I am already thinking of the solution that can help me and my friends who use facebook with closed eyes. New ideas.

Evaluation

positive RSOC ont renvoyé un mirioir, recommandé de faire qqch elle-même sur un blog/site et de pouvoir envoyer les gens vers ce site avec des arguments Highlights: Fortune Blobservice & Agile Yoga (vocabulaire et imagination géniale) Contente avec SITMM, avoir deux navigateurs suffit, bonne solution

Exit status:

Services

Something In The Middle Maybe (SiTMM)

Sometimes certain websites ask if they may use information from running google.com services upon subscription. If this is refused by the SCP then subscription does not work.

Suggested using different browsers for different tasks seemed to ease the situation.

advices: - consider different creative writing and documenting practices - creative works and methods in using Mathematica and other similar software - consider using dating software also for a playful interaction before going back to serious test and also publishing it - consider interacting with webmasters who do ad-blocking to inform them that they use software that is exploitative and supporting capitalism
