Me suspecting my date is actually an Aedes spp. mosquito:

“heeeey so how about after this drink we hit the blood bank? You know, just the two of us and a lot, and I do mean a lot, of blood bags? How about that huh?”

Brazil did that. We have a new set of laws called LGPD that allows users to revoke the consent whenever they want - all data ever collected or provided to a service must be deleted. Not turned anonymous, not shared with Facebook, not “under the ToS it’s ours” - deleted.

When I migrated to Lemmy, I left my Reddit account intact - just stopped using it. It included lots of tutorials, guides for things like buying a PlayStation Vita OLED panel, recorded Reddit Talks from the subreddits I moderated, the only source for certain bug fixes, and so on.

When Reddit started pretending this data belongs to them, and selling it to AI models, I replaced everything with gibberish and removed the comments. They restored a few, specially when they showed up on Google, so then I replaced them again, deleted everything, and deleted the account.

Google en passant

You was doing PIPI in your pampers when i was beating players much more stronger then you!

You can’t stop me, I have WarioWare on my GBA emulator on my phone!

And Clash of Clans should be “honey I’ve lost our entire savings buying gems” chess

When you installed an app entirely dedicated to shopping Apple products and allowed it to send notifications?

You do realize you’re not forced to install the Apple Store app, nor allow permissions for notifications, right?

It’s always weird to see people mixing up apps they’ve installed with “their phone” as if it’s all a monolith.

Hahahha sure bud, cool beans.

Now I’m going to stop replying, as you’re really in another world.

Hahahah no. I mean, it was clear enough you have zero idea about what you’re talking about. But this comment now makes it extra clear.

Companies that provide local services need a local entity and follow local laws. Wonder why so many US companies comply with GDPR?

Google Brazil, while of course being tied to Alphabet, is a local entity that can be (and has been) taken to court, need to comply to local legislation, and so on.

it is not illegal to obfuscate the product listing

You do realize I don’t live in your country, right?

Where I live, it’s illegal to charge different prices to different customers. I pay exactly the same as anybody else, regardless of what settings I set on my Android phone.

Stop spewing nonsense.

Manipulate? No need, I know the data that is collected and know what services I get in return. It’s a conscious choice.

I trust Google with my location.

I do not trust my banking app or the random photo filter I downloaded with my location.

What even is this post? You can’t understand the purpose of granular controls?

Ah, so that’s Flowey’s backstory!

Windows 11 is great. The animations and overall design consistency is much improved over 10. It’s also super stable, and pretty much required if you want to leverage modern CPUs with assymetric cores.

That being said, for my personal use, my version of Windows 11 is deeply modified and this ends up breaking features like Windows Update and Windows Defender, which you might care about.

But seriously, for the normal user, just install it normally, uninstall the few built in apps it installs by default if you wish, and keep it updated. It works great. Don’t install third party “debloated” versions, they’re awful and not necessary.

Also, please, don’t fall for the Reddit (and now Lemmy) bizarre habit of showing a screenshot of Windows using 4 GBs of RAM and claiming “iT’s AlL tHe bLoaT” because that’s not how Windows’ RAM allocation has worked for the past two decades.

I have all traces of Edge completely removed from my Windows 11 install.

It surprises me how much the educational system has failed some people…

hopefully leads to legal supersonic overland travel

Ah, yes, hopefully! I’m super happy that they’ll be barely below the legal tolerance to be able to let the super rich travel even faster
