    LWD, to privacy in Mozilla says Apple’s new browser rules are “as painful as possible” for Firefox

    What’s the alternative to $5,000 of DRM encrypted media exclusively served by Apple?

    The point of this thought experiment is to understand that sunk cost is a real thing outside of a fallacy.

    I know that, but why did you bring it up in order to contrast it with Mozilla’s consumer base? Do you mean to say that Google is the actual paying customer?

    It seems like such a bizarre thing to bring up at all.

    Are these customers donating, or purchasing mozilla products or services so that mozilla doesn’t have to rely on google’s donations?

    I’m confused what you’re trying to say here.

    Are you saying that Google has more of a right to dictate what Mozilla does because Google gives Mozilla the most money?

    Are you saying Google told Mozilla to work on things other than Firefox with the money they were given?

    Why bring up Google at all?

    LWD, to privacy in How private is Apple's Private Relay, really?

    But in the case of iVPN, do they run both of the servers themselves? That’s always what I wondered about.

    LWD, to privacy in Why do you think they don't show Brave here?

    I prefer Firefox(forks) but would also like to know what they’re talking about.

    How I hope you are right

    Unless we are to believe that one of the most famously user-friendly companies on the planet just dropped the ball here, it looks like a dark pattern

    LWD, to privacy in What site can scan sites for trackers?

    This sounds like Exodus but Exodus is made for apps not websites. Apps are easier because they tend to list all that stuff up front.

    LWD, to privacy in Privacy Concerns on Lemmy: A Call for More User Control

    A lot of Lemmy adopters joined with rose tinted glasses, and came with a lot of good ideas, like getting data out of the hands of big companies, making it easy to access it (as Reddit locked down APIs), etc. Which is all good, but a subset of them believe “not officially belonging to one company” is good enough. As for how your data is handled online, a subset of them believe nothing can be improved, and a subset believes it shouldn’t be improved because your data shouldn’t belong to you at all.

    And Lemmy is made up of all sorts, so there’s overlap between Reddit refugees and diehard fans. That interaction is a lot more implicit here, but the friction is a lot more visible on sites like Mastodon where similar privacy discussions have been happening.

    Could ≠ Should.

    Smarter defaults should be encouraged by products that are made for consumers, not corporations
