When I did a site that didn't play nice with one of my various Mozilla Gecko/Fusion browser flavors, I try a different one.
When they all are failing, not just WaterFox, I either fire up DuckDuckGo Browser or Safari if on a Mac.
If that were to fail I probably would quit using that service.
My actual Google account isn't allowed on most of my computers anymore, since I DeGoogled, and only have it operating in very sandboxed environments like one Vivaldi browser that lives inside of a VM.
Right, this isn't accommodating that, but I still contend that needs to be the goal.
I dint own this device or an AppleTV, while I've owned both in the past.
I can assure you there's a whole lot of telemetry and tracking in those. It's not "and nothing else."
Apple is the least awful about data privacy. Owning your hardware and stack is still better for privacy.
*edit: others have bored this is still using Google hardware with only a custom launcher, not a unique firmware or os environment for data sovereignty. That Sudha, and the lettuce still remains that we need more open hardware vendors, or legislation that let's us unlock our own purchased devices to modify further. *
I'm not downvoting you. I am going to tell you that a lot of the world's troubles can be laid at the feet of the US hegemon, but that the EU and UK's recent horniness for privacy violations has nothing to do with the US populace.
I would fight just as hard against it, as I am over here trying to educate and rouse the sleeping voices here in my states.
Lemmy has the chance, the small opportunity, to be a Rally Point for building up our communities. How can you and I do that, today?
Everybody, wait till he learns abut Chat Control and that the same ghouls are lobbying for this kind of legislation worldwide. It's not JUST America, it's the underlying capitalist machinery that let's them subjugate the masses everywhere.
We in America aren't special.
To my knowledge, they peered with other registrars and hosts to manage the vending. At least, in 2008 ish they partnered almost exclusively with Apple (for their MobileMe cloud and email services issuing everyone dotME addresses) and GoDaddy. I think others had to resell somehow through them? But I could be mistaken on that detail.
Domain squatting was a very profitable scourge on the internet back before all the obvious names were brought up , but it was one of the few popular TLD's to gain any real traction with consumers until dotAI.
I very briefly held, and did nothing with, "pants.me" which I regret to this day.
Seconded. I moved to Win10 LTSC IoT on some, Bazzite on others, and haven't looked back.
I'm never loading naked spyware Win11 again.
When forced to move off win10iot I'll go to win11iot for anything mission critical for windows.
But by then I'd better be 90% MacOS/Linux.
Citations needed for the first paragraph. Hard agree, for the second.
Oh, I didn't say that they wouldn't all board a vessel to Mars.
None of them are stepping foot on it, though, for sure.
It would be nice if we could deposit all of them there, for sure.
If it's any comfort, none of them are getting to Mars.
Enjoying my EU hosted services, and looking forward to my next-gen cloud office software from the EU, and I'm already bypassing US retail brands for most of my electronics.
There was a time that saying "buy American" wasn't a curse or a threat.
I LOL'd. Have a hug.
