I get apps aren’t free but I would have gladly paid for the app to not have to deal with this type of thing....

gravistar,

I haven’t either, so not sure if it does or not. However see my edit. The apk doesn’t have any trackers on it as far as I can tell so far.

gravistar,

Looks like “Functional Software” from the screenshot is sentry so that makes sense then. Is the version up on the play store an older release than v0.2.1+12?

Also those permissions are fine and totally make sense.

gravistar,

Thunder but it was the version off the google play store. Darklightxi was going to check to make sure the version up there was the version without Sentry which was a debugging tool for error logging.

gravistar,

Oh sorry its duckduckgo f-droid.org/en/…/com.duckduckgo.mobile.android/Its mostly a search engine app and browser. But if you go into settings under "More from DuckDuckGo there is a “App Tracking Protection” option. While this is on it will block and list out any trackers and what they were trying to do.

gravistar, (edited )

Examples: I turned on the duckduckgo protection, opened the official app and visited a couple posts.

gravistar,

Yea its pure insanity and greed. This is just one of many examples of why I have dual piholes on top of ad blocking extensions.

You can't uninstall this software without being forced to participate in their survey (lemmy.world)

I initially only installed “Comodo Firewall” but for some reason they also installed a “Comodo Dragon Browser”, which I did not consent to. I always choose the “advanced” installation to uncheck bloatware, but in this case there was none and when you try to uninstall the browser, they force you to participate in...

Benefits and Disadvantages of Self-Hosting Invidious?

I lost my YouTube history, as mentioned in this message, and I am considering self-hosting my own instance to prevent this from happening again. However, I have a few concerns. Will I lose the privacy benefits that come with using another instance? If I make my instance public, will I be sharing bandwidth? Should I use the...

gravistar,

I’m using a self hosted installation using docker thats not open to the internet. Its only open to my internal network. I would strongly suggest not making it public. Especially if you have datacaps on your ISP.

However being paranoid about being IP banned by Google I took it a step further. I’m using Gluetun github.com/qdm12/gluetun to host a docker container that runs proton vpn and allows other docker containers to connect to it and use the vpn connection. Also has the benefit of being a http proxy.

gravistar,

Final fantasy 14 The main story quests were amazing. Especially loved the shadowbringers storyline.

Why IBM got a reputation of destroying everything they touch?

After the Red Hat mess I see many people saying IBM destroys everything they touch, but I can’t think of many examples of it. Can you tell me what else IBM has destroyed after acquiring it, or something good that they themselves developed and then ruined it with stupid corporate choices?

gravistar,

This right here. When the company I worked for got bought by them our code got “blue washed” by a team of…lawyer/dev hybrids for lack of a better term. They ripped the shit out of our code. It took us years to unshitify it.

gravistar,

Bluewashed was a IBM term. Since IBMs main color is blue it went with everything. Bluetape, bluewash, blueshit, etc. Bluewashing to them was taking a program/app and doing a series of things to fuck it up.

  1. Strip out any code that might get them sued.
  2. Strip out any “bad” or “funny” comments in the code.
  3. If easily possible replace things like Apache for IBM HTTP server. Wildfly/Tomcat for IBM Websphere.
  4. Product must have an installer even if you have a product that the customer doesn’t install. There’s probably more that I blocked out but thats the tl;dr of it.

Oh speaking of Blueshit. If you wanted to order something like say a laptop dock for your new laptop. Try to order it through their “buy on demand” system.

Me: Ok its for my laptop so I can get work done.

Them: (Some asshat in Denmark) Denied, workstations are not allowed docking stations, mice, additional monitors etc.

Me: “hold my beer” Resubmit request: Lab equipment for the REDACTED lab, to support multiple monitors in the test environment.

Them: (Someone in France) Approved! You should see your equipment in 2-3 weeks.

Me: WTF??

gravistar,

Yes but think of it as a company with mostly infinite resources to infinity shitify

gravistar,

Ooh shiny. Any chace for a hi-res source to use as a wallpaper?

gravistar,

Ah thanks for the link. Jerboa wasn't giving me the full resolution for some reason.

gravistar,

So if something were to happen to fmhy.ml and it went offline down the road. Is there a way to backup all our current subscriptions if we need to instance hop? Would be kinda annoying to hunt down all those communities again.
