How does Google know this unless they have some access to the databases of each of those sites/instances? Why would google have that kind of access?

So Google somehow knows which apps block certain instances, which generally get reputation among other instances & are quickly blocked? That's not believable.

Google removing apps with spam/malware is one thing, & not something people would actually complain about. That also doesn't apply to removing the fediverse apps. They don't contain malware, they're simply alternativ

Don't forget twitter & facebook, but they won't because that's not really the reason.

another comment suggested Apple may really be doing this because they aren't getting their 30% cut of the money going between facebook & these add providers. Honestly it wouldn't surprise me.

One of the comments said it best: "Bad guy vs bad guy Privacy-invading ad giant flummoxed by developer-gouging overpriced hardware slinger. A plague on both their houses." I don't use either one, & never will.

There's a certain OS designed to look like Mac OS, which uses a pear as their logo. Obviously I'm not going to name them. I don't want to give Apple any ideas. It seems like any company with a fruit logo is in danger of a law

THIS is why I hate Apple. This company has nothin to do with Apple, so they have no reason. This isn't the first time they've done something like that either.

Does the phone work on this yet? That's the most important thing, otherwise it's just a tiny tablet. How will connecting it with a carrier work?

The point is DDG has insisted that they put privacy first, & don't collect user data, then (supposedly) in the interest of a small performance increase they introduce code that — wait for it — COLLECTS USER DATA. All they would nee

they did just remove r/theDonald so obviously not just any topic is open for discussion. Basically you can talk about any color as long as it's blue.

To me those interested in an alt-reddit are interested because they want an alternative to the echo-chamber that is reddit. Those you mention could be found on any site & just have to be banned.
43.
by retpirato 6y ago
The fact that Reddit is an echo-chamber is one reason I never joined, & never will, but there are some communities that would be useful like the android & kustom subreddits, the former of which already exists on Lemmy. I'm only

--The paradox of tolerance states that if a society is tolerant without limit, its ability to be tolerant is eventually seized or destroyed by the intolerant. Karl Popper described it as the seemingly paradoxical idea that, "In order t

Exactly. Plenty of users care, they're just powerless to do anything about. The OEM's are so big A LOT of people would have to outright boycott them to make any difference, but even then where are the going to go? ALL OEMs do this

As far as I'm concerned UI mods, custom launchers, etc; were never neccesary. My first android ran cupcake & I had no problem finding a good alternative launcher on the play store. It was one of the first apps I installed & sti

It may not be their "bread and butter", but that doesn't mean they don't do it. Every time I see somebody talking about Google spying on users but 'X' company doesn't do it, I start to think there just a f

You can create a bookmarklet with the code javascript:window.scrollTo(0,0); that will scroll back to the top, but it won't have an "elevator" effect.

There is Vim/gVim for going to the beginning of the line.

by retpirato 6y ago
Is there any way to make this work as a bookmarklet that I could just click to use on any site? === On a side note: There is an alternative to this that does far more. Vimium is available at: https://chrome.google.com/webstor

That's hardly surprising given facebook's track record of censoring conservative users. Liberals can deny that all they want. It doesn't make it untrue.
