I installed through F-Droid as well, but I didn’t get any notices. 🤷🏽‍♂️

Add me to the list with this exact issue.

One just recently took effect in the UK, but that’s the only one I know of.

They are an Amazon company, so it makes sense they’d be using AWS.

A fun game to play right now is to try to hit any of your regularly visited sites and see which ones are down. 😂

Are the data drives completely full? If not, you could potentially shrink the partition using something like GParted, then create a new ext4 or whatever file system you want with the newly unallocated space. Then, move some data from the ntfs partition to the new ext4 partition. Once the new partition is full, shrink the ntfs one, expand the ext4 one, and copy over more data. It’ll probably be tedious, but it should be doable and save you from having to buy a new drive.

Before Cloud, obviously.

I don’t know why you got down voted when what you said was 100% correct. People have had this constant fear that our phones are listening, which I totally get because of how creepy some apps behave, but if phones did have an active mic all the time and were processing or sending the voice recordings anywhere, you’d see the battery hit and it would be substantial. Repeated testing has shown they’re not listening. As you’ve pointed out, the various tracking and profile building tech and ad companies are engaging in ends up building extremely detailed and specific profiles such that they can pretty accurately predict our behavior. It’s fucked, and it sucks, but it’s a different issue than a phone listening in on you.

I would imagine boysenberries. 😅

Orange sherbet in a cone. My grandfather used to get it for me after taking me to the park to play when I was around 4-6 or so. He passed away almost a decade ago and every time I have some, I think of him. He was the best.

The fuck are you on about? This post is such an extreme overreaction. You’ve successfully made up a bunch of shit that you think I’m advocating for and then gotten super mad about your own bullshit. I didn’t say that nothing should have changed or evolved from back then. I said that Javascript was a bad way forward and that I don’t think there’s anything wrong with separation of software by function instead of making one bit of software an all in one solution. But go ahead and rant and make personal attacks. I don’t even know why I’m trying to clarify my position to someone who’s intent on demonstrating they’re clearly not someone worth discussing things with.

🙄

Your post asking for a solution was in the past tense. I answered in that context. Anyone following the discussion is able to see that. If you changed your frame of reference in your mind to the present day, you sure didn’t communicate that here, so that’s on you. How would we solve this problem today? I don’t think we can. Javascript and the like are way too entrenched and web apps are a way of life now. We’re stuck with this privacy invading nonsense until something drastic changes, but I don’t know that that change would look like.

Web apps don’t need to exist, so yeah. A website should just be a website. If there’s something that NEEDS a whole ass application to run, that should be something you have the choice to download and install, not implemented in an invasive way in unrelated software meant to show some interactive text, images, and video.

There was no problem requiring a solution. Just like cars functioned perfectly fine as cars for decades before becoming gross, always online, data harvesting privacy invasion devices, the “solution” would have been to just not do that. Cars used to let you drive places just fine before jamming internet connections in them. Similarly, browsers used to let you browse the web just fine before we decided to abandon stand alone software development to jam everything in a browser.

People have forgotten the old ways.

No problem!

The question has been eating at you for some time, not since some time.

Also, I’ve wondered the exact same thing. I never recalled seeing such prolific cross community posters on reddit, but here it seems they’re all over the place.
