Rammstein/Lady Gaga mashup of Telephone.

Why does it work?

Yup, plus passata and puree. No such things as a tomato glut.

Very very very little indication they would be better, and I’m very left of center in politics.

Starmer is very suss as far as I’m concerned, I’m not at all comfortable with his purges…if he gets in, we’ll see.

All good choices, but seeing no love for KDE Connect?

Yup same here. Two profiles, one is my daily driver and open source, they other is for the few apps I need with Google services. This is the perfect compromise between what I want, and what I need.

I’ll admit it, didn’t pay attention to the group, spent the last minute looking for a bee on a stick.

Lovely cat. Disappointed in me. Sad no bee on stick.

Online ads, same here.

Was a small thing, I was vaguely aware of online ads but only at a high level.

Was browsing online for garden sheds then turned the laptop off. Came back in the evening and every single site was pushing ads for gardens sheds.

Did some research and 7 years later, de-googled phone, all social media long since closed, linux (mostly), VPN etc etc.

Not going to pretend I can do anything against state actors (CIA, GCHQ) , my threat actors are businesses, Meta, Amazon, Googlr etc.

Can’t beat them all, but I can make my data exepensive to them at least.

The last two for fuck sake; after that list what the hell is, or how does Fuckerburg, define ‘sensitive data’?

‘People’ won’t react to this until they are hit with a real and tangible consequence:

‘sorry, based on the heath data you gave to Meta we’re doubling your insurance premiums’

Much appreciated!

I suspected I’d figured it out but confirmation is always welcomed, slowly getting to grips with Lemmy and very much enjoying it.

I had this yesterday but manages to figure out my problem last night.

It seems that when you first signup you’re give what is effectively read-only (or guest) access to Lemmy via Lemmey.World - this is so you can see what instaces exist ans which you’d want to join.

Once you join an instance, in my case sopuli, you need to log into that instance on your app and run your searches etc.

Liftoff (app i use) allows me to search from L.W or sopuli, if i search from L.W i can’t interact with anything, if i search from sepuli I’m able to post confusing answers!
