Dandelion flower makes for a good syrup, too

The icons don't all speak the same language, true. Some are way more elaborate and detailed than others, which just makes them look off.

Maybe the library could be a single book instead of an entire bookshelf, for example?

Especially annoying if you're neurodivergent, and they evidently know nothing about it.

Ah, well I just didn't understand your comment properly then

Absolutely, permissions should be disabled by default, and only when the app needs to do something that requires a certain permission should it ask for it.

Maybe even do something like Android, where permissions automatically get revoked if you don't use an app for a certain time. I love that feature.

Well, I've never come across anything that made me notice, which is certainly a good thing.

I always forget about that one. It's also the one that serves as the basis for DivestOS' System Webview, which is pretty cool

Huh, didn't know that. Lemmyml seemed totally fine though?

Mull is the best mobile browser based on Firefox imo. If you really want or need something Chromium based, then I'd go for Cromite.

Even the ones who actually want to respect the law won't spend the time to double-check GDPR compliance with every little thing they do.

Almost everything that's ever happened is a violation of article 44. In fact, the EU supreme court (I guess you'd call it) declared pretty much all EU-US data transfers from the last 20 years as unlawful. Fun.

A lot of distros work really well on my laptop, but Mint has always been the only one that works perfectly

At the end of the day, being as big as they are makes both of them malicious, manipulative and exploitative per default, otherwise they wouldn't be multi-billion or even trillion dollar companies in the first place.

If you've ever had a contact allow a service to read their contacts, you are in their database.

If this happens in a professional context, this can be a violation of article 44 of the GDPR. I don't know where exactly I'm going with this, but at least there are some laws around that, I guess.

That is a surprisingly accurate description

I was going to ask if the Irish DPA decided that on its own, but of course they had to be instructed to do so. They seem to love protecting Meta, looking at recent years

The huge energy needs are... yeah

There was an article in our newspaper not long ago about the possibility of using AI to optimize the CO2 footprint of concrete.

Like, everyone was suuuper into it, and it genuinely did a good job at what they needed it to do. But actually using this at a large scale throws the benefits completely out of the window in terms of raw energy consumption to even run it.

The basic Brets are pretty good, unless I'm confusing them with another brand

And/or set up something like Obtainium for those apps you can pull directly from their source.

Gets you updates a lot faster, too

I want to like Lineage, but while it doesn't come with extra bloat, the system itself doesn't do a whole lot of degoogling core services

Apple simply uses the data for it's own benefit

So... like Google
