Ads in paid software? This is simply ridiculous.

The only fault the EU has for the "accept cookie"-disaster is, that it didn't make tracking illegal and even bigger fines. It is only the fault of the companies that want to track us, not of the EU

Fractal-Next is really usable for me at least. (The times I've tried it) The only thing that is hindering it for me is the missing SSO-Support, but as soon as my MR is merged, it has SSO-Support

I tried to get rid of it (Rooted SM-A515F), but it is always reinstalling after a few seconds. Does anyone have an idea on how to get rid of it? I tried to delete it from /system/priv-app/GameOptimizingServices or something l

That's the problem with the GDPR. Excellent idea, but badly executed. Something like the DNT-Header should have been in the law, saying that the user only wants the really necessary cookies.

The worst thing about smartphones (In my case android) is how closed they are. Rooting is getting more difficult, bootloaders are getting more and more unlockable, SafetyNet and this new Play Integrity API are simply user-hostile. There is

MS Teams: What makes it bad: First of all, it uses Electron, thus it is laggy and wastes too much resources. Maybe it is just a pet peeve of mine, but I hate , if an application does not look native on my GNOME Desktop and does not follow

In a new session https://gitlab.com or e.g. https://gitlab.com/ase/ase don't show me a cookie banner.

by JCWasmx86 5y ago
A lot of websites don't show cookie banners (DuckDuckGo, GitHub, HN, gitlab, etc.). Sure, the law has some minor mistakes, but it is the fault of the websites. If they didn't track the user, they wouldn't have to display a ba

Given Google made 17 Billion dollar in Q1 2021 [0] in Europe/Africa/Middle East, I would say that around 2 Billion dollar would be more appropriate. Facebook made 6.5 Billion dollar in Q1 2021 [1] in Europe, so maybe around 1-1.5

SEO is so annoying, I recently searched "Is XYZ healthy?", then just some blogs/lifestyle magazines/whatever showed up, just written in an absolutely verbose manner. I would have expected Yes/No, not 4 paragraphs in

LaTeX by itself may be less productive than Word, but it has (at least for me) several advantages that make it for me more productive: - The standard unix tools (E.g. grep) do work really well with LaTeX, if I have to find something. I woul

I added "fortune | cowsay -f tux| lolcat" to my ~/.bashrc. It is always nice to see some often inspirational or thought-provoking quote if I open a terminal window.
