Brave New World

And with the final ad revenue payment received, I have stripped this web site for all Google-specific code. I have also removed the visitor counter, and even that pesky invisible 'tracking pixel' on the PayPal donation button (yeah, you probably didn't know about that one, now did you?).

This web site should now be pure unadulterated code, 100% free of any profiling, tracking, and advertisement!

But now that Mednotes.net has been completely demonetized, any help I can get counts more than ever! So please consider supporting this web site if you have a couple of bucks to spare!


It's Alive!

And just like that, my old server space on the old server is alive and kicking once again! Not that I have any definite real world use for it now that Mednotes.net officially has moved to the new server, but a pleasant surprise to have a potential fallback server on hand in case my new server by any chance temporarily goes offline at any point in the future.

My web hosting service never stops to amaze me, so, once again, a big shout-out to Drávanet!

Nothing but the Truth

There are few things that scare me more than the thought of factual fallacies potentially having affected my perception of reality. This concern was the primary catalyst of proofreading every single last fact in my lecture notes against 5-9 different sources back in the day, and has kept me in pursuit of the objective truth ever since.

But, as Google and Facebook in particular keeps on fingerprinting our personalities, our core beliefs, and our deepest desires, more and more of our understanding of the world around us is in danger of being defined by the highest bidder rather than anything even remotely resembling the greater truth.

If these two tech giants had stuck to convincing us to buy a somewhat poorer vacuum cleaner, their sins might have been excused. However, their intimate knowledge of who each of us truly are is increasingly being used to manipulate our belief systems, our ethical compass, and our political views, and polarize us as a society...

...and that is INEXCUSABLE!

I have in recent years all but completely phased out both Google and Facebook from my personal life, and today I am happy to announce that I am starting to phase out every last bit of code used for profiling, tracking, and advertisement here at this web site as well. I have already stripped all Facebook-specific code, and all Google-specific code will follow as soon as the next ad revenue payment has been effectuated.

This will, of course, make the full economic burden of maintaining Mednotes.net fall on my own shoulders, so I hope you consider throwing me a bone if you have enjoyed the fruits of my labor throughout the years.
