Wtf is wrong with you?!

Privacy@lemmy.ml•Apps that use google APIs (and similar) vs the webpage version - which is more private?
2·3 years agoYes! Excellent advice!
I am a big fan of RSS and have been using it as my primary source of info for at least a decade.
I actually already had SBS but only just now realised that ABC pages (eg “just in”) can be entered directly and it’ll find the RSS version (using Reeder at least).
Do you have advice about how to centralise/organise RSS? I use Feedly as a cloud source that I point Reeder at (have also been playing with Fiery Feeds). But I can’t help but think there’s a better way that doesn’t involve a third party (again, privacy).

2·3 years agoThank you. That’s very helpful.
And yep, https://www.abc.net.au/news is exactly one of the sites I was thinking of. I notice their app makes many calls to firebaselogging-pa.googleapis.com and similar. Sending who knows what.
Moving to the web version I’m hoping can blunt such things. On iOS I use AdGuard, Hush, and StopTheMadness. https://d3ward.github.io/toolz/adblock.html tells me I’m not doing too bad in terms of ads and tracking.
Two others which are pretty bad with their apps but have very similar webpages:

Privacy@lemmy.ml•Apps that use google APIs (and similar) vs the webpage version - which is more private?
1·3 years agoI guess my question was if webpage versions of apps can/typically use Google analytics-type tracking of what you’re doing.
And more specifically if Safari with private relay, perhaps with some extensions, can hide anything such webpages are trying to scrape.

5·3 years agoThis. And if you have kids that just want a large catalogue of random games, it’s perfect.
Doesn’t seem many people commenting here like the idea. But for me personally, and my family situation, saves me heaps of money.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•Sign our petition to stop France from forcing browsers like Mozilla's Firefox to censor websites
3·3 years agoSorry, my bad. I thought this was a petition OP had set up. And not Mozilla themselves to protect Firefox. Sleep deprivation :(

16·3 years agoWhy the focus on Firefox? Why not just say “browsers”?

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Do you think millennials who grew up with the early Internet and home computers will be as bad with future technology as boomers are with current technology?
5·3 years agoMy experience is the more things “just work” the worse people are with the tech.
Those who grew up with computers in the 80s are typically the best at problem solving / hacking / debugging.
My kids literally don’t have a fucking clue, sadly. I thought they were going to grow up super geniuses with the amazing technology they inherited.
Ok thanks.
I’m willing to sacrifice some FOSS for convenience, as long as it’s reasonable. But in general I’m a strong supporter of open source and publish my own code that way.
Yeah I’m 100% fine with the functionality. I prefer to keep my life simple. Thanks.
I don’t know if you’re being serious or sarcastic.
I use Safari with Apple’s private relay and various ad blockers and have been quite happy. Are there reasons to be concerned? (other than Apple=bad)

31·3 years agoWhat I really want is a South Park couch co-op game to play with my wife, preferably some kind of childish humour RPG.
Do any of the South Park games so far have this?

I’m surprised this doesn’t have more votes. MASH was just full of great episodes. Including probably the greatest series finale of all time. Just incredible.
