Android, the world's most popular mobile operating system, will soon enable a security protocol that helps keep internet service providers (ISPs) from spying on users. "DNS over TLS" adds a level of encryption to your DNS requests that are (mostly) inaccessible by your ISP.

[...] Using current methods, the requests happen through UDP or TCP protocols, not the more secure TLS. When Android makes the switch, you'll get the same results, only now with HTTPS-level security. That is to say, snoops now know when you've connected to a website, but not which one. Pornhub, for example, is the same as Gmail. Or, it is for the person spying on you. You'll still have to live with the fact you're watching Pokemon Go porn (safe-ish for work).

    I know, right? Recruiters are the best. Always calling every day to offer you money for jobs that do not even exist because managers neglected to budget for headcount when posting fake jobs. You might even make it to a fake interview. You sure as shit will not get a fucking job. But those recruiters, man, they tell you the job market is great right now so submit your right to represent form right away.

    There is no spoon.

    There are no jobs.

    Fuck MDC.

    I have no clue where they get that figure. Portland is just not that big a city.
