Iirc, permissions for iOS are required for devs to be able to use the functions/methods under those permissions.

So if the app doesn’t use them, they won’t show up as needing them.

ISPs already do that here in the states. The court case is to decide whether they should shut off access.

I have a soy allergy too and don’t react to lecithin. My understanding is that by the time the soy is processed into lecithin, the “thing” you’re allergic to is pretty much non-existent and that’s why you don’t react to it.

This isn’t the case for all people who are allergic to soy. This is not medical advice.

I don’t think Lemmy would count as social media but that said, you can easily create a dummy account that just, for example, posts pictures of moths or beans or bread or whatever.

It’s almost like old school Google front page.

My problem is the seed shells. I have to take a shop vac to the ground cover or it dies from lack of sun.

There was an article during Obama’s years that showed the negotiation tactics of Republicans and the summary was exactly what you wrote: Republicans draft bills with shit that they know will anger Democrats, but they’ll use it to pass the other shit that they want to pass.

Democrats fall for it every fucking time.

The article went on to say that compromise occurs far more often on the conservative side more often than the liberal side, meaning that Democrats often will give up far more than Republicans will.

No billionaire is going to pay this.

More likely is that MAGAts will harass if not kill the widow for even thinking of suing one of them.

I think there is a feature request to allow communities to subscribe to other communities so that their posts and comments are synced.

Honestly this is the best suggestion especially if you can mount your windows partition read only. You get the benefits of Linux while still having access to your files.

For most folks, the biggest hurdle is getting compatible apps. Once you find the apps you need, moving over is just a backup and restore away.

DNSSEC always causes errors on my pihole set up and end up disabling it. The upstream is DoH though (via dnscrypt) so it’s technically DNSSEC but without the clients seeing the authentication. That’s enough for me.

At some point, I fully expect apps and websites to begin resolving DNS directly instead of relying on the OS to provide resolution services. At that point our options will be to wholesale block IP addresses at the router.

There is a point of diminishing returns. Like most things, you have to evaluate what you are willing to live with and let go.

I know someone who only browses incognito because they don’t want cookies tracking them. They log into everything every day. Which, imo, is worse because those cookies are still tracking you but you now have to log in everyday.

But for them they like the control.

I’ve moved most of my incidental link on my phone clicking to Firefox Focus (thanks to URL Checker) which has upped my privacy. I wouldn’t have made that change without the prompt that URL Checker provides though.

I use a VPN outside of my house and I use pihole at home. I am tempted to switch my DNS to unbound but the juice doesn’t seem to be worth the squeeze. We’ll see the next time I need to rebuild my pi.

“Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.”

I agree. This thread is for actual advice. rm -rf / belongs in a joke thread.

Yippie kayak other buckets!

Whatever you do, avoid instructables

Add that to your block list so you aren’t tempted.

I imagine the principles of a potato cannon would work similarly for oranges.

The sad reality is that this is what their parents want and their children will live in it. They are being indoctrinated and will only know their “truth” upon graduating.

Then they’ll pick up the mantle to fight the same culture war because that’s what they were taught.
