It's still waiting on a repackaging effort

Looks like the latest hurdle is that Firefox is relying on some Google-specific variables being present, which fails on AOSP

Obligatory xkcd

The same EU legal text has in German 22.118 words Vs English 24.698.

That needs a character count really. Words isn't a particularly relevant measure when the language uses compound words

I think the point of the post is ain't nobody donating $20 to the Lemmy platform or host or other apps

I don't mind so much that it's not FOSS. Developer needs paying, fair enough

I want an app without an egregious Privacy Policy that doesn't bundle code that shares "Usage Data" with advertisers

Yea but does that prevent Google from getting that data via AdMob?

Not in favour of this.

I chose Lemmy.world because I wanted an instance that would federate even with people I might disagree with. If it's illegal and abusive, sure. But to defederate on ideological grounds? I was planning a recurring donation but this makes me consider setting up my own instance.

They're welcome to whatever discussions they want to have on their instance. As long as they respect the rules of other instances when they're here, then everybody wins.

As for their point about dismantling western propaganda - if they have documented sources then let's have a conversation. It's not like there isn't western propaganda

Yea implying that we don't have propaganda and narratives on our side of the wall is naive

If we want the truth then an open discussion is the path. There will be arguments in bad faith, sure. But that's not limited to "them". It's a human discussion thing.

I much prefer a separate server for the simple reason that it makes my desktop somewhat disposable. Reboot whenever, install whatever. If it breaks my server stays up

Basically, the more you isolate the purposes, the less the purposes clash

Reminds me of the statement that you can't dissect a rabbit to find out why it's cute

This is naive. America has all the laws they need to get data from private companies, just the same as China

My old person trait is that most of these sound like very recent problems
