There are extensions to hide the cookie banners and while you have not clicked yes you have effectively said no.

> just listen to “Do Not Track” headers (it’s deprecated because companies did hate this) It was my understanding that it is deprecated because it was completely disregarded and thus gave a false…

Apple does not put a lock on anything we own. They sell something locked and people buy it. It’s absolutely not the same; they were clear from day 1.

In that case the button changes color before sending, making it clear whether the message will be encrypted or not. (I have disabled the SMS fallback, which is indeed problematic.)

I use Safari’s password generation and keychain. Works great and has readable passwords.

One of the first setting I change on macOS is swipe to go back with three fingers instead of two.

No, it doesn’t work reliably, which is why they removed it. It’s better not to have a tool than having a security tool that might work. Also IIRC secure delete is useless on APFS volumes as they are a…

I have ads and pop up blockers already? What are you on about??

Once again there are alternatives; nobody forced anybody to buy iPhones. It’s not like Apple lied at any point saying “buy our phones and do whatever you want on them!” No. It’s clear. You do what the…

Until some apps are not in the App Store or a website is chromium-compatible only… Or that apps (e.g. youtube) outside the App Store is surprisingly more feature-complete than the equivalent in the Ap…

90% of the websites today use google analytics which is not GDPR compliant, and yet nothing happens. Ironically Apple did more for privacy than GDPR ever did, and was able to enforce it… by having a w…

The way it’s going I’m actually pretty sure if they did that they’d get reprimanded… Also it makes my life annoying when I open Safari and am presented w/ what can be told as the worst pop-up e…

As the “tech guy” in the family things might change actually. (One of) the reasons why I like the walled garden is how it simplifies everything troubleshooting-wise. I have a few quirks to know, the r…

Funny how things go. As a consumer especially, but even as a developer I don’t want the DMA to succeed and purposefully want iOS to be a walled garden. It’s literally one of the reasons why I’m on i…

I don’t need one; why should I have one?

I do not have a gougle account at all.

Sadly true, though there always has been bugs in the Apple ecosystem, much more than everybody wants to remember. I remember my dad telling me when I was little “Apple is not what it used to be; now t…

I know and remember. But the industry had already chosen USB-C, the legislation was kind of a bit F U to Apple more than anything else and I’m still convinced it was completely useless… except it has …

I use a reader for everything online and I have ad blockers. I haven’t seen an ad since so long ago I don’t even remember when (except on insta because can’t block them but I report each and every one…

I’m using swift on the server with vapor and it’s really working great. Non-Apple platforms support has been greatly enhanced over time and is still being enhanced.

I’ve subscribed just yesterday. Cannot be happier.

USB-C was the first to grind my gear. Believe it or not I like the feel of the lightning plug and still prefer it over USB-C. I don’t care about transfer speed or whatnot for my phone I use the cable …

I am European and hate all the regulations they’ve done so far. I know it’s a very rare pov, but for me all of these new legislations are terrible both for the consumers AND the small developers (whic…

And they’re especially targeting Apple AFAICT.

My landlord was the nicest person! I guess I was lucky…

Personally I’d chose almond or wine.

The ads do not use the content and claim it as their own?
