Administrative court: Cookie banner must contain "Reject all" button in c/[email protected]
[–] dparticiple 5 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

And a cookie banner which features this text, along with a slew of abusive dark patterns for maximizing data gathering and compromising user privacy:

"We and our up to 179 partners use cookies and tracking technologies. Some cookies and data processing are technically necessary, others help us to improve our offer and operate it economically.

The processing purposes are storing or accessing information on an end device personalised advertising and content, measuring advertising performance and the performance of content, target group research and developing and improving offers; displaying external content (e.g. YouTube videos, podcasts, Twitter, quizzes), recommendations of own products and content, A/B testing, push notifications/communication, technically necessary cookies (security, login, forum)."

Edit: nuked the links, since they also seem to contain per user/session metadata!

installing linux on my surface pro 8 in c/[email protected]
[–] dparticiple 2 points 4 days ago

I've been using Linux since the days of Slackware on floppies, and I still like Mint. It seems to just work -- I'm not at all averse to "more hardcore" distributions, but would rather get on with my work. That being said, the Surface kernel is a nice piece of software and worth considering for an optimal experience on Surface.

With this one weird trick!

Definitely doable! I've run several Linux distributions on Surface devices. I had good experiences out of the box with Ubuntu and Mint, and not-great experiences with Debian Bookworm (even with the Nvidia driver, it could never seem to work out that the external monitor on my machine was a primary. I did not try the Surface-specific kernel, however. Good luck!

Promising but paywalled.

Heh, no, Silicon Valley. Rather surprisingly, internet service was awful here for many years.

In other words, offering tiers of service which are symmetric or close the gap? For what it's worth, I seem to be a poor technologist, since 5 gigabits/sec is vastly more than I need, but my ISP keeps encouraging me to upgrade to 7 gigabits. It's nice to know that I could run a skyscraper or a medium sized subdivision if I wanted to, however!

The lack of down/up symmetry (at at 10:1 ratio, no less) is rather gobsmacking in 2025. Even here in SV, where internet service has historically lagged behind the rest of the world, I now have 5 gigabits of symmetric fiber service for a reasonable price.

Even The Atlantic is stooping to clickbait headlines these days. An unfortunate look for a publication with otherwise excellent journalism.

Feature request: Reddit repost content filter (self.voyagerapp)
 

In quite a few of the communities I subscribe to, a portion of the content is provided by bots reposting items from corresponding subreddits. This is often useful, but it'd be helpful to have a filter that would show only "native" Lemmy posts, since these tend to attract more dialog.

Perhaps this could be done by looking for the presence of Reddit URLs in the post text, and/or by triggering on common strings such as "rss" or "bot" in the username.

Thanks for building such a great app.

Disappearing message notification / message app freeze (self.apple_enthusiast)
 

cross-posted from: https://sh.itjust.works/post/33588339

I received a text notification from an unknown number earlier today. I'm usually suspicious of such things, but clicked the notification. The messages app loaded, but displayed a blank white screen until I closed the app. After doing so, there was no evidence of the message notification or the message itself, in any of the message categories (known, unknown, all, deleted messages, etc).

This is on an iPhone 14 Pro Max using a fully up to date device running iOS 18.3.1 .

Has anyone else experienced this? I am hoping that the group might be able to offer insight into whether this is a bug worth reporting to Apple, or an attack of some sort? I am aware that at least one zero-click messaging bug was recently patched in iOS. I rebooted my device, and I'm waiting for the security delay to expire so I can reset my iCloud password. I have 2FA and stolen device protection switched on.

(please disregard link to example.com ; my Lemmy client wouldn't allow a text-only post without an image or a link).
