Hello, smart people. Filling out an online form to volunteer for something, Firefox’s Facebook-fence icon appeared on the email field. Confused, I clicked on its question mark. On the next page, Mozilla wanted to sell me Firefox relay for $7/mo. (That’s their VPN + email masking + phone masking.) I used my yandex.ru email...
I mean… OP interacted with a privacy feature. The tracking was already blocked, but if you go further, you might be interested in privacy in other ways. It’s not an entirely unreasonable place to assume a user might be interested in your other privacy products.
That being said, I don’t know that I would put all my privacy eggs in one basket with one company. I use a variety of products, free and paid.
I noticed a new background image on the Android podcast app this morning. I thought one of my podcasts changed their icon art. Nope, it’s a Logan Paul podcast. I’ve never listened to any of his stuff. I only heard about him when he challenged someone to an MMA fight I think?...
Time to use a different app. Podcast Republic has served me well over the years. Keep in mind I use a proxy adblocker so I don’t know if it has a ton of ads otherwise.
It is shortsighted and naive to think that following one avenue of progress is bad because we lag behind in other things. The amount of life saving and improving technologies that space travel has had a hand in might surprise you.
You’re not wrong. I’m on my phone but if you can, please provide another source. Tbh I’ve just got the cookie modal blocked with ublock and the cookies autodelete
Used to use them a lot as a student, so now that I can, I donate occasionally. I don’t have a problem with them basically gaming the system like SHITPOSTING_ACCOUNT said in another comment, and I’m aware of it.
Now that a lot of the commotion has subsided I’m just curious to know how y’all are finding the Lemmy experience in general and whether you use it regularly like you did reddit?
Once you understand the kind of people who are on hexbear, things will become more clear. Just go to some of their profiles and have a look at what they post
I’m not gonna take responsibility and try to be your wake up call or anything, but this:
The ease at which people have been able to point to something and say “_____ is why you’re banned” kind of scares me into thinking something deeper is going on.
This thought would normally cause someone to be introspective. “What is it about oneself which is causing me to get banned?”. “Something deeper is probably going on” internally.
For the record, I’ve only ever been banned once in my life for something I’ve done or said, and that was 15 years ago. There are ways to say and do things which won’t get you banned. I’ve been on many forums and participated in many subreddits. I’ve even moderated before. The fact that you have a written down online code of honor/ruleset (regardless of its contents) is a red flag.

If you’re gonna brown the sausage, do it in the same pot you cook the rest of the food. Drain as much of the grease or oil as you like, and cook the food as normal. Any black or brown stuff in the pot from frying is going to be extra flavor for your food.
Walk, bike, scooter, train, tram, metro, trolley, bus. Plenty of countries can swing public transportation and plenty of people don’t need to drive but still choose to.
Edit: It occurs to me now this person may have been sarcastic.
Then you don’t fall within the ‘don’t need to drive but choose to’ segment. I don’t fully agree with the root comment of this thread, there are definitely some jobs that require a personal vehicle, and yours sounds like one of them. But for most people who are commuting twice daily, more environmentally sound options can replace their personal car.
I just skipped that and went straight for firefox with ublock. It’s not as good of an experience but I thought fuck it. Youtube’s going to fight these app solutions every time, but they probably can’t make Mozilla remove extensions. Plus I don’t have to be worried about logging my google account (even a burner) into an unknown dev’s app vs mozilla who I trust more.
Saw this a lot on Reddit. Its not specific to here, just trying to gauge how people think. I’d see people posting about how “X said this! Have you seen what else they said in their site history?” And a stream of votebombing would happen....
Only if they seem suspicious to me as trying to push some kind of idea. Usually posts with leading questions such as “anyone else notice the anecdotal negative experience portrayed as norm”, comments where someone blames a demographic for something, posts that are on topic but have a blatant other purpose meant to start shit (such as cat pics in c/cats held by soldiers), etc.
In too many cases, the user is really adamant about whatever they have to say, and I just end up blocking them.
One thing in advance: Leah Williams was not forced to buy all packages of peanuts on board – on the contrary, our purser tried to offer her an alternative solution by informing all passengers sitting around her about Leah’s allergy. She agreed at first but then decided to still buy all the packages.
The airline says it is “unable to guarantee that the aircraft is free of foodstuffs that may trigger an allergic reaction, such as peanuts”, because passengers are allowed to bring their own food onboard.
I feel bad for her but I have to wonder, how does this person function on a day to day basis? If their allergy is so severe that other people eating peanuts around her would harm her, how does she leave the house? How did she navigate the airport?
Take it easy, man. Clearly they’re wrong, and I don’t know better either, would you like to contribute something that’ll inform us or just get mad on the internet?
I guess I sort of understand, this is an enclosed space with recycled AC, but it just seems unlikely that if it was this severe she’d take a life threatening risk like this. Right?
Yeah I had that thought too but if this were the case, would you take a life threatening risk that no one else on the plane has peanuts? Wouldn’t you drive instead? Or take a means of public transportation where they don’t regularly sell your allergen?
She did actually agree to have that information shared with the other passengers and then still bought all the peanuts. I’m not saying she’s faking her allergy or something, I’m trying to wrap my head around her train of thought here. You can also take a car, a train, a bus, all means of transportation where the transport company doesn’t sell you peanuts. Yeah it’s less convenient but shit man, it won’t kill you.
Ideally she wouldn’t have to, peanut allergies are pretty well known and if we cared about increasing access for people not having peanuts for sale on planes is a pretty simple step

It all comes down to the gimmick not being worth an additional thousand euros to the price of my phone.
I don’t think durability would be a problem for me as I already baby my glass back device and I haven’t been using screen protectors for years with no problem. The downgrade in cameras isn’t that big of a deal for me as most pictures I take are macro, and as it turns out phones nowadays are horrendous dogshit at it anyway.
I think I’d enjoy the gimmick, I used to own a flip phone as a teenager, it’s just not worth a thousand euros extra. I’d probably add another 150 or 200 euros to my pixel to buy a folding phone.
