“Imagine browsing without trackers following you everywhere or your phone’s performance lagging because of ads. That’s the kind of freedom GrapheneOS promises.”

It’s hard to take the sales pitch seriously after such disingenuous statements such as this. The OS itself doesn’t serve ads, but rather the apps you install and the web pages you visit. As well, as soon as you browse the web or install one of your most loved popular apps, you’re being tracked. For the average user, the one that wants to use the same apps on the gOS OS that they do on stock android, they will be faced with basically the same ads and the same tracking.

The graphene install docs is in your language and will walk you through the install process. Their support page points you to discord, telegram, matrix support channels as well.

As a general rule anyone that asks for a non-proprietary thing that will do everything their proprietary thing does without alternative solutions allowed is so far from the reality of non-proprietary software in a proprietary world that they can not be made happy so I’ll leave the support of that to others.

Because children are so well known for their strict adherence to warning labels.

I don’t mean this flippantly but suicide is ok. The hard part in my mind is if you ou leave behind people that would be fucked up in your absence. That’s the part I struggle with.

It’s not Voyager’s fault, Lemmy has always promoted dead and abandoned communties as “trending”. The grouping is useless and can always be safely ignored.

On desktop, I use an ad blocker to hide the div.

You could also say electricity or copper is a large component of it but I would argue that it’s really just another tool being used to fleece victims. I don’t feel the issue here is AI or is even largely exacerbated by AI. There are no ramifications to the people that are behind the scams. That’s the real problem.

This is another issue that really has nothing to do with AI and everything to do with the lack of protection to consumers via the outlets allowing and collecting ad revenue from unscrupulous and illegal enterprises.

Why wasn’t “not go” an option?

I disagree but we’ll revisit the conversation in a decade as I added the task to my calendar so I’ll talk to you in 2034.

You’ve discovered the power of a niche social platform. I single-handedly provided content for a classic car community for over one year before realizing that it was less of a community and more of a blog. If it’s not political or technical, a lemmy community will most likely die when the single provider gets tired of the wall of silence.

Or he’s dead.

This is America

I think that’s a very apt summary of the case. It’s our super-lotto.

Everyone knows(like even my elderly mom) that Google, FB, etc follow you everywhere and that they use that data. I would have no doubt those sites knew she was disabled long before she visited the DMV site. It looks like she just found a way to monetize it.

The article seems a little light on any single fact but does anyone know if there’s any actual data that shows personal disability information being recorded/collected? Is the tracking code being served both on the public side and in the logged in portion of the portal? Absolutely no meaningful information was provided.

I know we can sue a sandwich, is this one of these lawsuits? “I found Google tracking code on the DMV site so it’s time to earn my retirement” sort of thing?
