There’s a big chunk of the Linux community that will always want to gatekeep it and push out anything that makes it easier for the layman to use

Vegetables don’t exist as a block I can cut slices of, fry, and put in a sandwich.

Well eggplant does but if I’m buying canned spam substitute I’m not in the mood for breading something.

Spam is just pork sausage in a rectangle.

Studies have shown that cats do not absorb adequate amounts of these nutrients from synthetic supplemented versions, it’s why vegan pet food that is technically nutritionally complete in the bag isn’t when it’s in the cat.

Vegans should instead opt for a non-carnivorous pet

If there’s cat food out there that’s nutritional complete, cats like it, and it happens to be plant based - so what?

Because the vegan cat food that claims to be nutritionally complete isn’t. Whenever these brands have their products studied they turn out to not be nutritionally complete. Feeding them to a cat is abuse.

Yeah I live nowhere near the sea and this was the cause of a stop sign falling over near a park.

It’s socially unacceptable to get mad at people for letting their dog piss everywhere yet when cats do it, it’s all hands on deck to eliminate the pest.

Reminds me of my Reddit “violence” ban. I said that RFK voters should have their brains looked inside for more brain worms. Admins took this to mean literally open their heads up, killing them in the process.

Reddit will ban you for literally anything if it gets dogpiled hard enough with reports.

They use machine learning to detect ban evasion. It takes into account email/phone used to sign up, IP, device fingerprinting, and behaviour on the site.

I pissed off a power mod and got banned from a handful of subreddits and accidentally posted on one of them with an alt. Both accounts permabanned for ban evasion - even though one of those subreddits was one I only ever posted on with one account. Alts get nuked as soon as I make a single post anywhere, too.

Could get around it with a new email and IP but meh

See the reason Lemmy is better than Reddit is because you don’t have 37 people jumping down your throat right now because they didn’t understand the sarcasm

Brave randomizes the output of fingerprinting techniques like canvas rendering, system fonts, installed devices, etc in a way that makes you look like a real, consistent user providing real data that still allows the site to work, while still changing the output from one session to the next enough that sites can’t tell you’re the same person.

Firefox claims to block all this but if you check their site they explain how it actually works:

Firefox protects users against fingerprinting by blocking all third-party requests to companies that are known to participate in fingerprinting

We’ve partnered with Disconnect to provide this protection. Disconnect maintains a list of companies that participate in cross-site tracking, as well a list as those that fingerprint users.

This does nothing to actually disguise you. It’s the equivalent of putting a paper bag over your head when you think there’s a security camera. You stand out because of the bag and you don’t know where all the cameras are so you’re still being tracked when you don’t know it.

I hate the idea of Brave because Chromium’s dominance will ruin the web but Firefox does not protect us.

I would be more okay with this if Firefox did more to block the tracking techniques that advertisers are currently using. They block third party cookies and compartmentalize social media cookies which is fine but they do almost nothing to stop the more insidious tracking techniques like device fingerprinting.

Mozilla really wants to push me to Brave

It’s perfectly safe to take them at the same time and was the exact advice given to me after having my wisdom teeth extracted. You can even buy medication that has both ingredients, like Excedrin. One is metabolized by the kidneys and the other by the liver.

This combination is actually shown to work better than opiates for dental pain

It just links to the overall Google privacy policy, in accordance with Play Store rules mandating privacy policy being easily accessible to users.

The calculator app doesn’t request any permissions which you can check in settings

Out of curiosity, do you know if these containers also obfuscate browser and device fingerprinting? Separating cookies is important but unless it also blocks fingerprinters (in a different way for each container) the site will instantly know the same person is using both accounts.

The only way for the site to know to not show the pop-up again is ironically by saving that information in a cookie

Wasn’t saying that they don’t work on Linux just that changing OS for a controller isn’t really feasible

OP wants their Xbox controller to just work so I don’t think Linux is the best option

It’s funny because all this effort and eventually his cock will stop working right anyway. And then later he’ll die. Sorry bud, if this was a solvable problem people richer than you already would have solved it.
