  • What is your up- & downvote behaviour?

    Jump

  • Upvote is mostly if I want better visibility for the post and that is the intended feature even if you do not agree. Sometimes I upvote comments that I like, because comments are not really about that and more about opinion. I do not have downwote option on my instance, nor can I see the down votes which is fine for me.

  • European Commission fines Delivery Hero and Glovo €329 million for participation in online food delivery cartel

    Jump

  • I can't comprehend so many delivery services present and drivers I see on the street. I get that some people need them due to disability or some other reasons but not obviously as many as there are. I have never in my life ordered food to my house, much less download an app for it. I live in a city, a supermarket is like 5 minutes away.

  • Ubuntu 25.10 Plans To Use sudo-rs By Default For Memory-Safe, Rust-Based sudo

    Jump

  • Sudo had many vulnerabilities in past some of them unpached for years and it is bloated with unnecessary functionality that increases the attack surface. Doas is more secure and minimalist for example. Not an expert to say if Ubuntu approach is correct but I appreciate their effort.

  • Reddit Plans Extra Verification Steps To Detect The Human-Like AI Bots

    Jump

  • It already blocks me from reading access for some time because of VPN. I have to use libreddit on the web or redreader on mobile to access. This made me lurk reddit less, never had an account there anyway.

  • Mastodon doesn't like Addy aliases

    Jump

  • It depends on the instance. I created an account on mastodon with guerillamail which would be even more suspicious for an average website than your alias email. A tip, if you do not mind using icloud email, you can even create one with some effort without giving real personal data and using apple hardware (Virtual machines ftw), you can take advantage of its free alias email addresses which would be accepted even on most strict websites.

  • bruh they are asking for my home address now?

    Jump

  • There are some people who will put this data, the ones who usually agree to all cookies. So even if you let users skip, with some dark patterns you can manage to influence a lot of people. Example: I set up local windows accounts for a couple of family members, yet somehow a week later or so they had online Microsoft accounts connected.

  • Chips aren’t improving like they used to, and it’s killing game console price cuts

    Jump

  • The consoles unless you root or jailbreak them are too restrictive anyway. For older games you can just use an emulator on your PC or mobile.

  • A quick question

    Jump

  • You can try and later post peertube/youtube link. Nobody can really guarantee that it will be interesting for them until they see it.

  • Microsoft rolls Windows Recall out to the public nearly a year after announcing it

    Jump

  • It is good to use linux. But this has an impact on everyone to some degree. You may use Linux, but does your family, friends, your doctor, your teacher or boss, and whoever else who has some of your personal data?

  • Google Calculator is so funny

    Jump

  • Nowadays even calculators have terms of service and a privacy policy that is longer than many novels. Some probably have forced arbitration also.

  • Deleted

    Permanently Deleted

    Jump

  • Not complying with DMCA takedowns in EU would hurt American tech related companies way more than all of these fines combined.

  • Android phones will soon reboot themselves after sitting unused for 3 days

    Jump

  • Google itself as of this moment never did put adds on a lock screen, it is the manufacturer or third party apps who can do it. Some Realme and Xiaomi phones do it afaik and probably some other brands.

  • Apple’s about to be hit with new EU penalty, but it’s been delayed for now - 9to5Mac

    Jump

  • Apple and its consequences on computing world...

    I can not deny that it changed the smartphone industry big time but it was not for the best in my opinion. I understand Apple products appeal for some people though, they have subjectively good design for some, and are objectively very stable and easy to use for a non techie. My issues are how closed IOS is, the overall paradigm of domestication of users, being very anti repair and on average more expensive.
