A home to friendly weirdos. The Grey Gardens of the Fediverse (but beige). Occasionally graphically cacographic. Definitely probably not a cult (though you'll never be 100% sure). Beige-bless 🙏

Ars Technica · France fines Apple €150M for “excessive” pop-ups that let users reject trackingBy Jon Brodkin

Am I the only one that wants to punch through their monitor every time this little F&^*ER pops up? Makes using 90% of the internet just hat much more annoying.

I run Pi-Hole on my home network and have UBlock and Privacy Badger plugins running in my browser. Every time I think I have it beat, it comes back a day or two later.

I am also not signed into Google on my browser at all and have removed all Google-related cookies

Ah merci Microsoft, vraiment, de m'avoir prévenu de ce non-évènement.
Je suggère aussi, histoire d'être complet :
- "Le disque n'est pas saturé"
- "Aucun fichier n'est présent dans votre corbeille".
- "Votre presse-papier est vide".
- "Vous avez fait 37 copiers-collers hier"
- "Vous allez allumé votre ordinateur 23 fois le mois dernier"
- "L'eau mouille. Le feu brûle."

Does anyone have a clue why my new phone, Samsung Galaxy S24FE, doesn't send me notifications from my Mastodon app (Megalodon). All other apps notify okay although I had to tweak each one due to a known bug with the S24 - I had to turn on "Show as pop-up"
Every other setting is the same as my old phone

I find it helps to #translate those #popups to "Please #disable your #adblocker so that our un-vetted executable #code can run without #permission on your computer and rummage through whatever information your browser has not sufficiently #locked it out of, and then send it $DEITY-knows-where for our #commercial benefit".

It sounds somewhat less appealing and White Knight-y then, which is probably why these sites avoid the more #truthful description.
