  • What tv show had a big impact on you?

  • I’m surprised this doesn’t have more votes. MASH was just full of great episodes. Including probably the greatest series finale of all time. Just incredible.

  • “Chrome exists to serve Google search.” - The Verge

  • To be fair, with Apple it’s kind of both. Because they make a large chunk of their gazillions off hardware, they can make privacy part of their platform and mean it.

    Whereas with Google, trolling your private information to sell you more stuff is all they are, and everything else serves this.

    It may not be perfect, but in my opinion it’s ok to view the former as a better option than the latter. If convenience and integration are also important to you.

  • They are saying they do not use language that makes judgement, because that is not what they do. They are a neutral reporter of what is happening in the world (ie the news).

    Everyone laments that “news” has been overrun by opinion journalism that tries to influence left or right. This is what “just news” looks like.

  • Apps that use google APIs (and similar) vs the webpage version - which is more private?

    Jump

  • Yes! Excellent advice!

    I am a big fan of RSS and have been using it as my primary source of info for at least a decade.

    I actually already had SBS but only just now realised that ABC pages (eg “just in”) can be entered directly and it’ll find the RSS version (using Reeder at least).

    Do you have advice about how to centralise/organise RSS? I use Feedly as a cloud source that I point Reeder at (have also been playing with Fiery Feeds). But I can’t help but think there’s a better way that doesn’t involve a third party (again, privacy).

  • Thank you. That’s very helpful.

    And yep, https://www.abc.net.au/news is exactly one of the sites I was thinking of. I notice their app makes many calls to firebaselogging-pa.googleapis.com and similar. Sending who knows what.

    Moving to the web version I’m hoping can blunt such things. On iOS I use AdGuard, Hush, and StopTheMadness. https://d3ward.github.io/toolz/adblock.html tells me I’m not doing too bad in terms of ads and tracking.

    Two others which are pretty bad with their apps but have very similar webpages:

  • I guess my question was if webpage versions of apps can/typically use Google analytics-type tracking of what you’re doing.

    And more specifically if Safari with private relay, perhaps with some extensions, can hide anything such webpages are trying to scrape.

  • This website has the interactive Starfield maps that should've been in the game

    Jump

  • Yeah Morrowind was great for that. Felt more old school RPG where you actually had to explore to complete quests.

  • This. And if you have kids that just want a large catalogue of random games, it’s perfect.

    Doesn’t seem many people commenting here like the idea. But for me personally, and my family situation, saves me heaps of money.

  • Ha! Just finished Player of Games yesterday and bought Use of Weapons. Trying to decide whether to continue with Culture or mix things up and start with the first Wheel of Time book.

    Either way I’ll get to it, and the rest, because the first two I thought were excellent reads and I really like Banks’ writing.

  • Sorry, my bad. I thought this was a petition OP had set up. And not Mozilla themselves to protect Firefox. Sleep deprivation :(
