  • While I don't touch anything Meta (formerly Facebook) at any time, what is the explicit route of data gathering here?

    From what I understand, these companies willingly give user data to Facebook, which then utilizes the data to: Use the provided information to match your Facebook user id with the other companies' user id, so it can understand when you made an activity in the other companies' sites, games etc. and show you stuff (ads only if you are naive, or propaganda through engineered post and ad visibility jf know at least about Cambridge Analytica) about it when you are in Facebook.

    Is this the route user data follows and is utilized? If so, shouldn't these mentioned other companies including Facebook's and whatnot's 3rd party tracking pixels n their own domains, and also sharing your data to themselves directly be the focus of privacy concerns as they "leak" your user data? Doesn't the most of the blame fall on these other companies, or does the implied blame here that user data transfer is mutual and Facebook forwards these user data from company A to company B in the list, as well?

  • Almost every nation in the South America, West Africa, East Europe, Middle Asia and individually-located notable countries like Turkey and Mexico recognize the Palestinian statehood, while not officially taking any stance in China's Xinjiang policies. There is a whole lots of difference, more than 7 if you are into childrens drawings games, openly visible in very distinct and legible colors for normal human perception. Maybe you are in a "western propaganda corporate" that can't find the differences.

    The question is, do you deny the internationally proven, caught-in-the-act photographs and videos of killings of thousands of civilians by IDF, most of which are children, minors and innocent adult men and women. I'm not even mentioning the after-action reports, which can be exaggerated or outright set up as we have seen in most IDF reports and some Hamas reports.

    Do you mean to say your humanism extends only to be used as political grounds for making up a casus belli against countries your Anglosphere (plus Japan and S. Korea) doesn't like and would love to get a piece of, since we have seen what it did to the countries in South America and Middle East in the last century?

    I am a proponent of the current human rights and individual identity being exercised in European countries. I wish that level of personal freedom could be exercised in the rest of the world. However, I'm aware of the circumstances in which these developed, including colonialism, exploitation, invasions and slavery and the resulting robbery of wealth of the rest of the world, hiding behind the war machines of innocent science and reason.

    What we see from these maps is how your developed countries are lying and genociding hypocrites, compared to rest of the world's utter piece of craps being blatant genociders. Go have your eyes or brain checked, we are tired of your subversive attempts at acquitting genocide committed by your Israeli government allies.

  • Not gonna lie I like them so far. Helps understanding there is a person with some flair to them on the other side of the cold text.

    However, customization should be a thought twice when implementing. However much anyone should be able to customize and make their stuff different, there should be options for the others to turn their own viewing experience into a rigid framework.

  • Hey, we are becoming Westernized.

    Pointy jokes aside, Erdoğan has proven time and time again to keep to whatever American interests in Middle East. His speeches are only for keeping face and making propaganda in domestic affairs, nothing else mostly.

    Not sure, but lately his sugardads may be shifting towards Saudi and Qatari princes and oil barons, but they like Israel anyway.

  • The catch is in the title. Google will not back a law that will otherwise completely block them, instead of just making things different for them.

    Google will comply with the law, but we all know they will do so in the most minimal ways or find loops to exploit it, even.

  • Validating attacking random unarmed civilians as an effective political tactic is not a good idea, actually. This already lead to Israel attacking civilians every time it wants some land.

    Houthi rebels and Iran should scale down operations in Red Sea, yes. Israeli military entities that are launching these attacks should also be obliterated to make it very clear that it is not an acceptable tactic.

  • Besides, sleeping with air circulating inside the whole house compared to only the room feels way better for sleep quality, at least for me. I have quite a large room, but if I ever close the door for 2 hours at most, I feel the air stagnate.

  • Can't wait for the GTA Online players to swat me in my home... wait we don't have a SWAT that automatically kicks doors in without any question, so shove that threat up yours, hackers!

    Jokes aside, the "swatting" being a term and applicable threat method is pretty sad. Especially when the duty officers responsible for your protection can be the ones that can put your life at risk with unverified reasons bordering institutional paranoia.

  • Dude barged in Lemmy 2 months ago, made 40+ posts with average of 20 comments. I'd consider that performance, translated to Reddit size over 5 years, to earn quite the lower percentile among the posters. So yeah, Reddit is probably sitting on a small fortune thanks to this generous person.

  • That should be the only way, but I seriously doubt that Reddit admins would keep the links intact in that case. Out of their greed and malice they would probably mess with the Lemmy link, then put the blame narrative on the poster for deleting/making the information unavailable.

    It can be a bit annoying like how c/hackernews post only external links with topic titles, but that is the (temporary) cost of freedom and privacy.

  • You probably know better, but I can't help saying this anyway: Don't go for any substance or addictive activities unless it is clearly healthy living. Substance abuse, sometimes even simple use, when in bad mood can lead to more of that bad mood. Substance use at better times can be more effective in enjoying stuff more and having less time to think about bad thoughts, than trying to suppress bad thoughts via substance abuse during those moments. Using substances as good mood enhancers rather than escapes from bad moods, of course depending on the person, context, and actual variety of the substance, can come to you better and as a very natural, mostly non-addictive form of substance use.

    Addictive activities to suppress unresolved emotions can lead to withdrawal effects just like substance abuse, some activities do that soon and some after long durations.

    I'm not a gymbro, and actually a fatass on high levels of overweightpart on the scale, but fitness activities do help with getting rid of rent free thoughts, secreting some kind of hormones that can help lift your mood, leading to situations (hopefully nicer) like meeting people, seeing even ordinary sights that can look stunning, feeling of progress on something, etc. that can replace those bad thoughts, at least most of the time. It can work very early if you can enjoy the feeling of slightly but a bit lengthy sore muscles, and/or it can give visible satisfying results in the mid/long term if you can keep up.

    Not saying do this last, since the events you said can stick with you rightfully as very indignifying things to do unto others, getting over these thoughts via your own attempts or your social circles' help may not prove good enough, even with best effort and intentions. Seeking professional help, even as the first next thing, could prove to be best in this case.

    Try to see what works for you, and take any example or advice as alternatives or options rather than surefire methods. There are many variables, including context, person, perception, reception, intensity, duration, etc. that are very crucial in resolving psychological situations, and finding the exact answers for your variables is almost surely improbable. As how most therapy are assisting you find solutions for your problems, and not giving you answers to your problems, you'll understand what works for you better in the end.
