I wish they’d propose a mandate on having the option for disconnected vehicles sold in the US, instead. Privacy-conscious people should not have to resort to finding and disconnecting antennas to reclaim privacy from sketchy data collection. I get that China is the big bad wolf in this discussion, but American companies are just as bad with the data hoarding and erosion of privacy.

Just having the video player be the same across all sites is a win, I don’t even need the multi-threading or pre-cache entire video to love this.

I don’t think I did. I just assumed it would be impossible to detect the home network automatically once WiFi was automatically switched off. Unless off isn’t actually off. Or the “auto on” part was location based.

How does it detect your home wifi if it has turned off wifi? I don’t know Android, but the logic there seems odd. Are you using location services to drive it?

Nope, but I also feel like Apple would have it off by default, unlike Microsoft.

At some point they are going to have ad channels with content breaks.

Internet traffic gets mirrored to NSA data centers, that’s old news from the Snowden leak.

They are not deleting, they are editing. So the platform would have to undo those edits rather than just flipping the visibility flag.

Doeyour post comments constitute “personal data” though?

His rates doubling wouldn’t be considered damages?

“Sharing” is a funny way to word a headline. They are selling it, for a profit, because it’s legal. It’s immoral and shady as hell, but “prevent it or expect it” applies here.

That’s not always a choice, without hurdles. I have a truck with it, but I would have no idea how to disable it short of cutting the antenna wire for it.

I get Copilot to bail on conversations so often like your example that I’m only using it for help with programming/code snippets at this point. The moment you question accuracy, bam, chat’s over.

I asked if there was a Copilot extension for VS Code, and it said yup, talked about how to install it, and even configure it. That was completely fabricated, and as soon as I asked for more detail to prove it was real, chat’s over.

It’s like $20 year, not everything good can be free.

NextDNS.

Also, be wary of relying on anything blocking ads on streaming services this way. They will likely serve them within the video stream, so not network-blockable.

• Voyager for Lemmy
• NextDNS to kill basically all 3rd party ad networks and tracking

Apple is the least terrible of my list.

ATV is the only box I recommend. I’m anti-Google, don’t trust Amazon (and now their service is going to do ads on a paid Prime membership), and Roku has major privacy issues at least in the past. Curious why you’re seeking an alternative to Apple.

You do know IMDB has porn listings, right? And “friends” includes people you share a library with, in either direction.

“Cloud” + “lifetime” are not a real thing. Caveat emptor.
