Self promotion in order to be hired so that they can eat food and survive.

Edit: y'all don't have jobs? I'm not saying it works, I am saying they do it to stay employed.

There can be many more than one, or are you forgetting about decentralization?

Classic god!

The browser stores the cookies, so if it is a system browser then the system browser stores the cookies even if embedded in the app. It also means that the app isn't likely aware of those cookies as it's part of a separate app.

Also, generally speaking, few developers want to build their own browser. It is far easier to just ask the OS to put a browser in a space provided by the app, than to build a browser that works well to be used on the greater internet and the actual app itself. I say this because "the browser stores the cookies" so if app xyz doesn't use a system browser then app xyz is the browser. Like, any app can ask you for your reddit username and password, store that, make HTTP calls that login with your username and password, parse the HTML it gets from reddit, and report it back to you. This is essentially how lemmy apps work at a high level with one big difference: these apps and the server are both aware of each other, which is the same sort of situation where a company like google or reddit gives API access as a sort of contract between how the apps and servers with better security and full consent of all involved.

Basically if you see reddit apps pop up which don't use the official API, you should be wary. Doubtful they would make it onto the app stores but it's always possible. It doesn't mean they are nefarious, just that they could be.

The good news is it's pretty easy to tell what you are using.

Logged into example.com somewhere on your device, then you open a freshly installed app, click a link to example.com and you are already logged in? System browser.

Logged into example.com somewhere on your device, then you open a freshly installed app, click a link to example.com and you aren't logged in? This could be another browser if you have more than one installed on your device. So the ask.. does it look and function like shit? This isn't a great test but again, building a browser that actually renders html css and js is difficult, so it's likely to not work or look very well if it's something built with the purpose of stealing data specifically.

Ok so if application xyz has a browser, assuming that browser isn't just an embedded copy of a system browser (something that I am not sure is possible with android or ios development, i am just a web dev), it won't know your reddit cookies unless you gave it. Or, more correctly, it may save your cookies for every site you visit, but that's just normal browser behavior. If you visit reddit, your cookies are saved but if you didn't login the cookies just identify you as a unique but otherwise unknown user. If you login, then your cookies are saved if you load up the in-app browser again and find that you are still logged into reddit.

The only time where you could expect to be logged into reddit already via an in-app browser which you didn't log in with previously is if that in-app browser is just an embedded system web browser where you are logged in.

Great idea, now how do we do that? Cities gentrify and force people into towns and rural areas. Where do these people get to live, the unincorporated wilderness?

The only real answer I have to that question is that leftists need to move to rural areas and help slowly change its political landscape. Or you know, let the elected official govern. Still, I don't have an answer for this exact scenario. The ultimate problem is who (who have the power to do anything in that exact area) cares? We do, but we aren't there and I am out of ideas.

I don't know but what I do know is without sending cookies, the server won't know it's you. If you login to reddit on the app, cookies are saved so you can login again the next time you load the app.

Why would I read garbage? It's the same bullshit you spew every thread.

I didn't read all those cunty words you wrote. Try wording it less like a cunt, cunt.

You sound like a dumb pile of shit.

You're a dumb pile of shit aren't ya?

I know how to read. I was just showing you the effect of bad faith arguments. You didn't say those things, they were implied and I acted in bad faith to piss you off. Just the same as you did to start the while shitshow when you actually just implied that trans people should just accept the harassment with no retaliation. Like some kind of damned liberal or centrist.

So, maybe stop being such a cunt.

I want you to learn. I want you to grow. I want you to stop being a hateful person and start contributing to society. I want you to begin by going outside and touching grass.

Your bad faith argument that trans people deserve harassment was more than immature, it was actively harmful to others. You ought to be asshamed of yourself. Your hate has consequences, namely that other people hate you for it.

You're a real pain in my ass, but that's my job. I educate morons on the internet.

Why are you trying to cyber bully me, I'm 12.

"DiD yOu jUsT aSsuME mY gEndEr?!" Bloved madman asked, smirking to himself.

Yeah bro, because you would only pretent not to be to try to play a gotcha.

Let's call it an educated guess based on your lack of education.

This guy fucks his own mom!

You fuck your mother? You've been inside her.

This is your lack of logic: "Parent sees child nude. Parent committed crime"

Wouldn't you rather be smart?

You're a real dumb pile of shit, you know that? Context is key, fuckwit. Learn to argue in good faith or eat shit
