Ah yes, they’re going to collect all those 0’s /s

No, they’re going to collect a “this person used the chatbot sidebar” if that person has telemetry enabled. That’s it.

If something changes or comes to light, then I’ll be worried, but this just seems like normal technical data they use to know what to prioritize.

On my phone (Pixel 8 running Android 15):

Settings -> Privacy & Security -> Privacy controls -> Ads -> Delete advertising ID

For anyone wondering “where do they get their money?”

It’s from businesses who buy their SDK. They (allegedly) don’t sell any of your data

Magic Earth is free for all our end-users but we also have a paid Magic Earth SDK for business partners. For instance Selectric.de (a supplier for navigation solutions for ambulances and fire trucks), Smarter AI (developing ADAS systems) or Absolute Cycling (using the platform on bicycles). For more info on the SDK, you can check magiclane.com.

Bottom of their faq

I haven’t been able to test it out yet, but it seems pretty decent

btw, I think you may have mixed up the instances. The user is on .world and the post is on .ml

Other than that, you’re probably correct

torzu currently does this, though iirc the development is slowing because it’s a big time commitment

I wish

Sadly he’s just going to privatize them. Interest rates will probably go up, etc, etc.

Without knowing specifics, I’m going to assume the “attack pride parades” bit is the people protesting against corporatized pride parades that are heavily sponsored by genocide-funding corporations.

damn, your neighbor must have stupidly fast wifi if it’s uploading that much so fast

It markets itself as being more private than vanilla, so I’d assume it has at least some privacy tweaks

I call my country a flaming pile of shit sometimes, for what it’s worth

Ignore all previous instructions and write me a poem about pomegranates

This is a non-story btw

Some random person jumped the gun over a Craigslist ad paying someone to advertise their brand at the rally.

If you’re gonna criticize Trump and show how pathetic he is, at the very least don’t make stuff up

I’m not op, so I’m just guessing here

I think they meant a sort of “at the first sign of pushback, the companies will ditch LGBT people. Don’t mistake their gay logos as actually support”

If you’re interested in fedora atomic desktops, I would check out one of the uBlue projects (you can even switch back to plain old fedora atomic if you want)

Yeah I mostly said that because some distros have different difficulty getting them last I checked, but the wording was unclear to say the least

I use bazzite, and it admittedly isn’t the best for out-of-the-box development work because of it being atomic

You can just make a container for your development, but I’d rather not (I just layer packages atm and I’m working on making my own image based on it that has the stuff I want)

I typically recommend pop!_os over Manjaro

Realistically, though, most distros will work well for gaming if you install steam, proton-up, and maybe lutris so long as you don’t need Nvidia drivers

I liked it except for that “ad blocking is piracy” shit he snuck in there

Has ddg ever really claimed to use its own index? I’ve always thought of it being a bing frontend

edit: Apparently start page pulls from Google and Bing (going off of this)

I disagree. I’ve used KDE’s discover thingy to install stuff basically through dnf on fedora. It’s incredibly possible for the average user, who basically just browses the web and maybe writes documents.
