Cheradenine, in Accept cookie banners with third-party cookies rejected

It is an excellent question, but there is a third option, which is also blocking at the DNS level. Firefox and Safari block 3rd party cookies by default too.

In your example I do not think there is a difference, and my firewall logs seem to confirm this.

Who watches the watchers?

exu, in The Boost android client for Lemmy is displaying these dark pattern ads pretending to be system notifications. What security/privacy conscious Lemmy clients do you recommend?

Also not FOSS, but I’m using Summit.
It’s the only client on Android I’m aware of that has mod-tools built in.

Samsy, in roku remote app showing ads now

What Ads? I don’t have Ads in the interface nor in the app. Okay the reason could be my openwrt router is set up with Stubby DoT and blocklists from AdguardHome.

Gooey0210, in Not even Notepad is safe from Microsoft’s big AI push in Windows

It’s good i left bill gayts’ sinking boat recently Feeling really great running my nixos flake on my surface go (this was the last device, everything else migrated a long time ago)

Ephera, in How good/bad is Firefox sync.

You can find a detailed description about Firefox Sync’s design in regards to privacy here: hacks.mozilla.org/2018/11/firefox-sync-privacy/

Atemu, in I deleted all my post from my reddit account, can they still monetize them?
@Atemu@lemmy.ml avatar

You gave them an irrevocable license to basically use your content in any way they see fit. Them not showing posts you deleted is just them being nice, not being obligated to do so. They could simply ignore your request or restore posts later.

You should have thought about that when you gave them that license to your content.

Posts tend to die within a day. What would be the point, reddit posts aren’t worth restoring.

Almost. According to EU law, identifiable information including usernames need to be redacted.

They can restore it but it needs to be without your account information attached

flubo, in Can I edit .docx files without a Microsoft 365 subscription and if not are there any alternatives

Try onlyoffice: www.onlyoffice.com

I think libreoffice has more functions, but is a bit confusing at the beginning and sadly quite ugly. So if you belong to those who cannot work in ugly environments, and use office for simple and small documents onlyoffice is perfect. It looks better and is closer to word…

ArcaneGadget, in Can I edit .docx files without a Microsoft 365 subscription and if not are there any alternatives

Softmaker Freeoffice has worked brilliantly for me. It’s very familiar if you are used to Microsoft Office, and it seems to do the compatibility part very, VERY well.

Vibi, in Can I edit .docx files without a Microsoft 365 subscription and if not are there any alternatives

I believe you can edit .doc(x) files using Google Docs.

FlihpFlorp,

For obvious reasons I’d like to avoid Google as I’m still migrating away but good to know I can use that as an absolute final resort

some_guy, in What are some good real privacy podcasts/channels?

Caveat, with Dave Bitner and another guy. I haven’t listened to it, but I know of Dave through another podcast (Grumpy Old Geeks).

Endward23, (edited ) in I deleted all my post from my reddit account, can they still monetize them?

Companies exist to make money.

Therfor, it isn’t a great problem, tbh.

The gouverment my spyy on us just to have as much information as possible to get profiles but companies need you as possible customer. If you never use the side againt, they would not find any use of the data and to store it makes costs. So, they probable delete them after a certain time.

Melody, in I deleted all my post from my reddit account, can they still monetize them?

In short, No. If they do so, sue them.

But the reality is much more complex than that. IANAL, but I do believe that they should likely avoid trying to monetize your data.

That doesn’t stop people who buy reddit from attempting it, but as I said before…if they do so egregiously, sue them.

In an ideal world your data should not be monetized. They might have backups but your data should eventually get phased out of those backups over time. It’s impractical for them to keep data forever, and old data is much less valuable.

Endward23,

I don’t think so.

The postings of a specific individual are not important for great companies. Its the mass. They search for patterns and want to use this patterns for advertisment or to lead your use of the internet. The postings or information of one single individuum may be not even necessary after the analyis. And even if they could use them for some purpose, after 5 years or so, they arn’t current anymore. In this time, there will be 1000s of users who spend their data.
