It absolutely is racist to both think the phrase “Tiananmen square massacre” is some magic to keep the Chinese away and to bring it up on a post about something that happened in Japan to a Japanese person by the Japanese government.

At least spell Tiananmen correctly when you’re being racist

You know the system before timezones was way worse, right? Every town had their own time.

The register is out of the UK and the bulk of their readership is in the US, in both places apple has above 50% market share.

Both Rabbit R1 users should be concerned.

Plasma 6.1 on Wayland now has a feature that “remembers” what you were doing in your last session like it did under X11. Although this is still work in progress, If you log off and shut down your computer with a dozen open windows, Plasma will now open them for you the next time you power up your desktop, making it faster and easier to get back to what you were doing.

Maybe I’m just a boomer but this feature is so incredibly annoying to me and is one of the first things I disable on new installs

In the US we call government vehicles that come kill you “police cars”

You’re infantalizing people by assuming everyone who doesn’t know how the internet works lacks critical thinking skills. Do you ever interact with non nerdy people? Additionally, some people do genuinely lack the capacity to understand how systems like the internet work, are we supposed to just let them get taken advantage of or exclude them from society?

I’m ignoring your last sentence because its entirely irrelevant to the situation, the data that Google was collecting from people using incognito mode is not data that they needed to make their services work.

I understand how the internet works but you apparently don’t understand how people work. Normal people have absolutely no concept of how the internet works, they don’t understand what data servers need about them to function, or what a packet is. They need to be explicitly told that even though they’re using a privacy mode Google is still collecting data on them, especially since they’re collecting data even if you are not going to google hosted sites.

I’m seeing a lot of people make arguments like this and I just don’t get it. Is your point that its okay for tech companies to prey on the ignorance of nontechnical users? We can’t expect everyone to know everything about every service they interact with.

Nowhere on that page does it say that the browser is still tracking them. The whole point of the lawsuit, which Google just settled, is that that verbage is not clear enough to nontechnical users that Google still knows what sites they’re visiting. People don’t know shit about computers, if they advertise a “privacy feature” that says their searches and history aren’t being saved, they assume they’re not being tracked. People absolutely should have a basic understanding of data privacy but that doesn’t mean it’s okay to take advantage of those who don’t.

It says it because of this lawsuit.

Fedora Core 6 is when I made the full switch.

They’re multiple middle men at once

What a clown lol. It was literally more effort to take that screenshot than to dismiss the pop-up.

I would like some of whatever you’re smoking.

Leftism is when movie.

Like one real big one

Finally a legitimate counter to my comment. I can excuse storming the Capitol, I cannot excuse a warm pocket beer.
