Umm you got the wrong person for that. Get it right 90% of Covid policies were enacted by trump, Biden didn’t come in until the damage was already done.

It’s funny how everyone looked up to trump for pushing the vaccination as fast as he did, only to condemn Biden for following through with it.

Because of that condemnation, the right-wingers refuse to take the vaccine they were so happy to take when trump was in office. So tell me, who’s the idiots now? Sure isn’t the dems.

Because they use personally identifying I for other than what you saw. In your comment does that mean you have a right to follow their personal life and invade it then sell it to others? No!

Your problem is you like being a commodity rather than just a consumer. You don’t mind your life being intruded on which could include cc numbers or bank account info. You want to lose your money like that that’s fine. Me personally, they can get out of my life and quit following what I want to do just to make a quick buck. Fuck that, me and my personal information is not for sale! And if anyone seems to think it is, I will stop them as that is my right.

Personally I think all tracking cookies should be banned on the internet worldwide! I am not a commodity.

This has since been uploaded to my GitHub repo

This is true. However, they need to inform you that they are collecting this data, what data they are collecting, and why, and give you the option to opt out of that data collection.

Just because they can doesn’t give them the right to do so without your explicit permission.

Ubuntu wants you to use snap for all your app needs. I think their plan is to make repos only for os maintenance and installation and nothing else.

Because they listen to people rather than ignore them and then make policy based on how much money they can make from the deal.

This shows me the EU is actually more democratic then the US is.

Wish it was that simple. The problem with the internet, as a whole, is someone figured out they can collect just about everything from your data, with or without cookies, and sell it to big companies.

Everything is about that almighty dollar. We are now the product under the guise of being a consumer.

You want to complain about access being blocked because of where you live, fine just makes you an easy commodity to sell to someone else.

Tbf, you want complete anonymity, stay off the web, don’t use bank accounts or credit cards, not even those like cash app, become a hermit and tell everyone to fuck off as you are not for sale.

In reality, it’s policies, like the GDPR, that are actually looking out for your best interest. Here in America the arguement would be “they’re taking away my freedom” or “the government is overreaching” instead of “Hey, someone actually cares about my privacy in the government!”

Like I have said in another group, people complain about their privacy online and then use the likes of chrome for their browser. We say we care about our privacy, but in the end we are a tool that doesn’t do the job we need done.

The log system on IoS is very rudimentary and doesn’t show anything useful. For the most part it is only activated upon a crash.

As for using m.lemmy.zip the results are the same as well as with v.lemmy.zip. But, iirc, both front ends were originally designed for android based systems.

The only other mobile browser I have is chrome which I try to use as little as possible due to their data collection policies.

Unfortunately this is t a cache issue. Firefox mobile has been broken since we moved to version 18.3 for me on Firefox. I posted a bug report to the lemmy devs but nothing has been done about it yet.

As for safari I have never gotten it to work on my iPhone with lemmy. Unfortunately the only mobile browser I have gotten to work on the iPhone is chrome and I really hate using that browser.

I do get them once in a while. Although, they tend to be fat and few between. Lol

Why not have your friends join lemmy, start a new community around live journaling here and enjoy the freedom of expression y’all crave.

This will accomplish 2 things:

  1. Take revenue away from Facebook

  2. Helps increase user share for lemmy.

This way you all have the same interests working to your advantage

True. The important part to realize is their phobia is so prevalent they don’t realize how stupid they are
