Redditors, that’s what the upvote button is for. No need for posting comments that are essentially just “^this”

At least the other child comment is adding their 2¢ to the suggestions

I honestly don’t mind it normally, but I need the noise cancelling headphones for the losers that blast their shitty soundcloud-tier music off their phone speaker

I hate dog owners letting their dogs piss on my mom’s lawn, killing the grass by the sidewalk. When I walk to work in the morning, in NYC I hate dodging piss on the sidewalk as if I’m in SanFran dodging needles.

Nope, this is: @PoppinKREAM@sh.itjust.works

official US motto that is used since Civil War

dub is clearly replying to this aspect of your comment. The In God shit was signed by Eisenhower, a century after the Civil War.

The In God We Trust and E. Pluribus Unum phrases were BOTH seen and used in the the late 1800s, both in an unofficial manner. HOWEVER, E Pluribus appeared in the Great Seal of the US in the late 1700s, much earlier than the latter phrase.

Neither was official, but if you’re going to pick a “de facto” motto, E. Pluribus Unum was the oldest and most used. Linking to more of your factually incorrect comments is about as useful to this thread as the guy shouting nonsense at the clouds by my office.

Where do you draw the line for what’s acceptable?

If it’s a “what is _____” question (like your original comment), you’re guaranteed to find an easy answer on any search engine in literally 2 seconds. Most even summarize the question right on top.

Finally, just fyi, you can highlight text and right click or long press on it, and the menu should have a shortcut to “Search the web for ${your highlighted text}.” Easy way to search on mobile, especially on Android as you can hit/swipe back on Android nav which closes the opened tab, and you’re back to doing what you were doing.

Correct. That shit is exactly why early 2010s Reddit and (hopefully) lemmy is a much better read in the comments section than today’s Reddit. For things that are not straightforward, yeah somebody scrolling on by will answer an interesting question. But I’m sure most people want more meaningful discussion happening in the comments here than people becoming your personal wikipedia bot. Remember “reddiquette”?

Back on Reddit, most of my saved comments were from you, PoppinKREAM. Glad to see your detailed (and well sourced!) explanations are here on the lemmyverse now too.

Because Joe 6 pack is used to signing into a website once and having it populate the next time he opens the page. Setting the “always open in this container” setting correctly is already asking too much of the average user.

Do what it takes to pass your classes in university, but prioritize finding an internship or entry level job for your career. No one cares about your GPA, but all entry level jobs want experience.

To avoid the chicken-and-egg problem of graduating and never getting a job because they want experience, and you can’t get the experience unless they give you a job, get an entry level job in college and try to get extra responsibilities in that job for your resume.

Sync because I had huge preference for apps that followed MD3/Material You. I wish it had an inline comment editor for replying in the middle of threads, that was my only missing feature. Slide did the inline editor nicely.

They do collect it, and use it for their own marketing platform

Right

but they don’t sell/trade it

Then what are they collecting it for? To line their servers? It’s being used to train services, and those services that have ads have those ads targeted using the data collected in the first sentence I quoted.

In fact they DO anonymise the data they collect

So does google. Again, to the broader thread audience replying to my original comment, what is the difference?

None of the major players literally sell your true name and address. All mask the data, and then do stuff with it like create trends to know which ads to display to “users that search for tiktok on the app store/play store”

Nope, Apple sells your data just as much as Google does: https://www.insiderintelligence.com/content/apple-ad-revenues-skyrocket-amid-its-privacy-changes https://www.vox.com/recode/2022/12/22/23513061/apple-iphone-app-store-ads-privacy-antitrust#luMMel

While people noticed their new policies against 3rd party apps, that masked the fact that those policies carved out an exception for first party apps, meaning they collect (anonymous) data on you through Health, Journal, Music, etc. just like every other company. “Trusting them more” is simply a result of you and everyone else getting hit with their privacy ads recently.

Edit: “just like every other company” meant Google and Microsoft, i.e. the other big equivalent tech companies, my fault for not being specific.

Once you finish setting up and are happy, if you care about privacy and don’t mind a little more upfront work, set up Multi account tabs. It “sandboxes” your logins and cookies to categories you choose. I have a category for each social media site, one for my finances, one for amazon, one for other shopping, etc.

As a user of Windows my entire life, I’ve tried Ubuntu and Manjaro before and went back to Windows. I randomly felt like trying Linux again recently and set up Debian 12, and am finally not going back.
