  • I think this is either very not well understood or I am missing an old brace news.

    They did not alter any link.

    They however were proposing an auto complete, when the user was typing a crypto currency website name, with their affiliate link. https://brave.com/referral-codes-in-suggested-sites/.

    They did not modify any link the user imput without autocomplete or through a search engine. (also it's fixed).

    Maybe I'm mistaken you are talking of something else.

  • Per connexion would be pretty bad. Per network.

    Let's say you want to set a static DHCP ip from your router. The only way to do so (from the router, I'm not talking from the phone), is by assigning an IP to a MAC address.

    If the address is randomised per connection, affecting a static DHCP ip would be impossible.

    Another thing a router often has is some sort of dhcp memory. It remembers the ip it gave to a certain MAC address for some time, then when the device connects back, it assigns the same IP it had before.

    So if the ip changes each time either the MAC address changes each time (not sure it's default), or the router has no memory.

  • Amazon is as you said extremely efficient on their warehouse and shipping because of their centralization and size. They can build extremely expensive warehouse to keep being efficient and surpass the competition.

    There would maybe be possible to get an "enhanced" activity pub in order to protect privacy and financial informations. There is already something similar but without activity pub : a multitude of website where it is possible to buy things.

    But there still needs to be some centralization, either through the postal service for small companies, or through centralised warehouse companies, with spzcialized equipments. And both of these things are already in place.

    However if the OP wants a decentralized Amazon like efficiency, it won't happen. The costs will increase and it will take more time, because the way the shipment will work will heavily depend on the seller.

  • There are malls, markets, things like that. These are just the front end for the customers to buy things, the retailer.

    As you said there are centralisation behind. Either through the same company managing all those different malls, or through Wholesalers working in the background selling to a lot of retailers.

  • On Linux you're not stuck on a single theme. On gnome there is a plethora of extensions allowing to move the task bar as you want. Display the apps on it or not... And plenty more customization.

    Gnome has however limited a lot the theming of the desktop (window color, border...). And now it's a bit clunky to install themes other than the default ones.

    KDE has more customizations and settings, so much that it could be overwhelming at first.

    There are also some differences with the file manager. I prefer Nautilus from Gnome (you can still install it on kde, tho it won't have the same look as the other apps).

    And the KDE disk manager may as well be trash in my hands. I can't even setup a mount at boot without getting errors. So I just install Gnome Disks as I find it pretty easy to use.

    on Linux if you have multiple partitions, and you want to set a shortcut to a secondary partition, you need to mount the partition (activate it). In Linux a partition is like a folder. It is mounted to a folder.

  • You can't rely install that. There can be microg (not sure if it's in the distributed rom), but there is no system integration with microg, so G apps cannot work. Neither a lot of apps based on play services.

    Microg however offers a modified LineageOs rom where they have installed the system integration for micro G. On that rom, the G apps and apps requiring G services do work.

    Maybe it could be a bit more privacy friendly than using the direct Google services, but it still connects to Google to get some services for some apps.

  • It seems to run through some script from someone one reddit using Lutris. Not sure if it's validated yet or not on Lutris. (maybe not very stable)

    And they most likely won't be on steam before any full release.

  • 50€ for a premium clothing. Or 20€ if you only want 1 color for that premium clothing.

    And to purchase them, you need to purchase palia coins, which are as expected not the exact amount to buy the clothing.

    So like you need to buy 2k coins for 1.6k clothing pack.

  • Even if it takes more space, there are still benefits over biofuels.

    The hydrogen can be created using electricity. Currently it is not very efficient, but only uses electricity and water. Electricity can come from de carbonated (/low carbon) sources.

    And a fuel cell will use that hydrogen to generate electricity by combining the hydrogen into water with outside oxygen.

    For the biofuel, it's a big climate hoax. The issue with bio fuels, is that the energy required to produce them is huge. It required bacteria producing carbon emissions, and the fuel also produced carbon emissions. Whatever entered that plan, will get out, and even more because of the transformation. (i don't remember which video from Undecided with Matt Ferell was about biofuels). Tho maybe it could be used for something. To get slightly less carbon emissions than with normal fuel.

    There may also be a solution with batteries. However the energy density for them is lower compared to hydrogen. Tho, there may be some battery innovation I saw passing by which could be pretty interesting.

  • I don't know about the privacy in UK, but privacy on Lemmy is... Pretty much inexistent.

    Tho maybe the email Adresses could maybe be stored privately somehow.

    My instance compuverse.uk runs most of the time. Tho the servers are not giant, and there was already an issue where the storage filled up completely before an upgrade had to be made.

    Tho now it would be running on a separate storage dedicated server which may allow for more storage.

    Also the rules on this instance makes it pretty much compatible with every other instance and so would avoid the defederation by other instances. (please just don't put porn or gore in the all).

  • Outside of steam, there are community scripts with Lutris and other alternatives.

    But sometimes they don't work well.

    There are also ways to play epic games and gog games easily through the Heroic games Launcher and Wine-GE.

    (wine and winetricks and 2 other wine components need to be installed).

  • The best fasle advertising on privacy/security rather?

    Their goal is blocking any other advertising method so only they can collect and use the data of their users for advertising.

    Security? They can (or could) be hacked, with a backdoor, just with an invisible message...

    So most of their reputation is just marketing (which goes pretty near to false advertising ex : the your data stays on your device... Which is just false).

    Tho they may have a reputation of refusing to give data to public organizations (or at least depending on the data).

  • I may have learned things about tech and computers on reddit, but I don't remember the posts, only the knowledge.

    Also I learned that redditors in the comments are 75-90% stupid and useless in any post. I sometimes had to answer tech related posts just because the other answers were completely wrong and did not help the OP.

    Tho sometimes there was some useful info. But only sometimes...
