Yep, it’s kinda scary isn’t it. The battery thing seems to be blocked by default on firefox and safari tho.

The website can show you what is leaked, it can not fix it for you unfortunately. Though the browser I link there does legitimately work. But alternatives like brave and the likes also do a great job.

And the feature to see if you are IP banned or blacklisted would be very hard to implement as reddit isn’t transparent about how they block people. So the only way to figure out is to make an account.

Not only would the IP address already get ya, but reddit is also known to use fingerprinting techniques to get ya.

Small plug, I made a site to check this: bscan.info

Thank you! I’m pretty new to web development, so it’s very hard to figure it all out (:

Oh shit, I misread. Thought it banned social media from implementing addicting algorithms. Whoopsie

Wait… a bill from Florida that isn’t malicious? Someone pinch me.

I don’t think they meant the individuals are always selfish, more that the whole culture (and thus the lack of public transport) exists because of selfishness and fear.

Also in countries which are not as reliant on cars most people still have access to a car, they just use it less often.

'it’s not perfect so we can’t' is absolutely not the 'dumbest fucking' argument if we are talking about actual human lives.

How low of a human being must you be to claim evidence has been destroyed when it hasn't. The cop who told that under oath should be fired and put in jail, like anyone else would.

Yea but how are they going to extinguish an non-centralized social network?

but the poor politicians need to make some money. /s

I agree it's a stupid company, but I don't see why we should work against them if they finally decide to so something kinda good.

We build this entire reddit alternative without interconnectivity with reddit, why couldn't we do that again if threads decides to do that. People will be familiar with how lemmy works and there will be no ads here, so I don't completely see a problem. Plus the format of lemmy is completely different from threads right?

Another layer to their technique, you just don't understand.

0.19 allows for instance blocking, so the good tools will be available.

It's about 24% of the userbase according to this comment: https://lemmy.world/comment/6148151

How would they control it? If they do anything bad we can just defederate, right?

Is threads that bad?

Unfortunately we are at a stage where it's rare for a phone to have it.
