“Self defense”

The point is that it’s a loophole in privacy laws so they don’t have to outright tell people that they collect personal or identifying information. So they can legally mislead people by claiming it’s anonymous telemetry in hopes that users don’t actually look into it or understand the implications.

You shouldn’t get to participate in an international organization while murdering the aid workers employed by said organization.

This is just another attempt to destroy the UN.

Burh Israel literally, explicitly called for the UN to be destroyed, and named them a terrorist organization (and of course also played the antisemitic card).

Ad firm money.

Maybe I’m just cynical, but my first instinct when I see stuff like this is they have a secret contract with an advertiser and are selling this information.

Like if you’re going to use Arch btw, go all the way and use actual Arch.

Those are absolutely ways of covertly identifying your device while technically not counting as “personal information” under privacy laws.

It’s not fucking over Microsoft, it’s prevent Microsoft from fucking us over. Microsoft is not the victim in this.

Oh but when I feed at 40 times the theoretical limit my doctor calls me “unhealthy” and “you’re eating yourself to death”

Does Israel not see how similarly to Hitler they’re acting?

Or is that the point and their express intent is to perpetuate their very own holocaust against people they themselves deem the Untermensch?

I mean, I know the answer, but

And as always, the majority response to this will absolutely be something along the lines of “I support writers but you can fuck right off if you expect me to inconvenience myself in the slightest most superficial way in solidarity with you because actually having to modify my behavior in the simplest way is where I draw the line.”

It’s not about if it’s successful or not, it’s about the US having dug in to this and wanting to keep up the tough facade they so desperately want other countries to fear.

You want to defederate from the largest Lemmy instance, the poster child, and the mascot of Lemmy? Good luck. They are Lemmy now.

Don’t care. If I gave a shit about the biggest instance because it has the most users, then I would have stayed on Reddit which has orders of magnitudes more users and to put it in the linked comment’s words, they still are link aggregators in the the commenter thinks .world “are” Lemmy. The whole damn point of federation is your instance is not locked into what the biggest instance wants to do.

Trusting your security to Google is literally like trusting a fox to guard your hen house.
