Good thing I used a script to edit all my posts and comments into Lemmy promo and info about Reddit paywalling 3rd party apps before I left. I hope ChatGPT uses it in a reply to someone xD.

We are introducing a new Game Pass recommendation card on the Settings homepage.

They are saying like they just invented something amazing, yet they are just pushing a fucking ad.

The Game Pass recommendation card on Settings Homepage will be shown to you if you actively play games on your PC.

How would you know what we actively do on our PCs, huh? Huh???

Good news is that you can turn off most ads, including app promotions in Windows 11's start menu.

For now, but you have to be extremely naive to believe they don't plan to change this as soons as they reach a certain number of users. They already did things like that in the past.

On Xiaomi it's very easy to remove whatever you want without rooting. Here's a 3:30 min video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3_rqhoMpr_Y

Randomly getting Notion email, after having deleted my account years ago... ( slrpnk.net )

Welp I guess this is the perfect example of companies not deleting your credentials and account info when asking for it... I deleted my Notion account several years ago. And completely randomly today got an email from them about data retention, assuming this is one of those "important" emails they have to send out. Sadly, years...

How does one accidently holds down the down arrow for 40 minutes?

Cats do it on purpose, not accidentally.

From what I'm reading, Ubuntu is slowly turning into Windows.

Ubundows? Winbuntu? I'll see myself out...

There's no such thing as legitimate interest. Reject what you can, block everything else with adblockers.

but LaLiga says that apps already installed on users' phones must be remotely deactivated.

Fucking whaaat??? Ridiculous.

If blocked by me then why am I even seeing it in the first place?

Do you take pictures with GPS tags on?

Hiya, so quickly wondering wether you have enabled this or not. Obviously it's not great for privacy, but it also seems very nice to have for image cloud solutions, so that images can be sorted based on location. Are there any good solutions for this? I'd like have it enabled, but also afraid of sharing images with sensitive...

@Blizzard@lemmy.zip avatar

Having the location feature enabled is already against privacy in the first place.

AdGuard can filter all (or select) traffic blocking ads in other apps.

Blizzard ,
@Blizzard@lemmy.zip avatar

That is true but then it applies to everything and you can't pick and choose which app to filter and which not (I exclude banking app for example), what level of filtering you want for each app (my phone is not rooted so there are some apps which will reject https filtering), and additionally I can quickly turn off and on filtering in the app for example when there's a need for troubleshooting why something is not loading etc. In short, with an app you have more control and access to stats:

Aren't SD cards slow and prone to failures?

As the Internet Gets Scarier, More Parents Keep Their Kids’ Photos Offline ( getpocket.com )

Here's a non-paywalled link to an article published in the Washington Post a few days ago. It's great to see this kind of thing getting some mainstream attention. Young children have not made an informed decision about whether they want their photos posted online.

Blizzard ,
@Blizzard@lemmy.zip avatar

Came here to say this. If you upload pictures to instagram, they are already being processed by Facebook ("Meta"). If you have an online backup of your photos Google/Apple cloud, then they are alredy being processed.

It's not paywalled for me. Clear cookies for this domain or use an adblocker.

Why do programs install somewhere instead of asking me where to?

Try the following:

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface cursor-size 12

Or if that's too small, then a different value instead of 12.

Is any of those free, small and not invasive so I can install it just to prevent an update to Winshit 11?

If it turns out that those ads somehow get through my AdGuard filter then it's a goodbye.

I set my filter to no longer show me posts with the word "trump." several hours later, I'm still seeing Trump posts.

Do I need to log out? then log back in? I don't want to. But if logging out/in is necessary to refresh my filter settings, I will. I searched for a way to log out/ in but I can't find it, but I will look harder if I need to. Let me know, or anything else I need to do to stop seeing Trump posts. Thanks.

I'd prefer if they weren't converted into .webp in the first place but that's out of my control. What I'm asking for is an OPTION you don't have to toggle. Also it's not without a reason.

Blizzard OP ,
@Blizzard@lemmy.zip avatar

I understand, I'm asking whether the app can do it for me. Or if there's some Lemmy feature Sync can leverage (if it converts one way, maybe it can do it the other way).
