    You can believe in fairy tales for all I care. Nobody here is interested in your delusions, and quite frankly, anyone personally affected by the ongoing tragedy have more than good reason to wish you dead with rest of the invaders and warcrime symphatizers.

    Do the world a favor and fucking shut your disgusting trap.










  • As a web developer who’s worked in the industry for 16 years, every snowflake requiring me to work harder to support their “choices” is just an annoyance. I get wanting to reduce tracking etc, but in all honesty, the 0.0X% of users running tons of blockers and JS off are in reality just easier to track, in comparison to hiding in the mass of regular users who might be running an ad blocker (or nothing).

    As long as your browser is making requests, you’ll never be invisible.

    The change needs to come from regulation level imho.

    Today I spent 50 minutes figuring out why my app could not set itself as default for www.instagram.com links. I don’t have IG installed.

    Turns out the latest Samsung OTA update re-enabled Meta App Manager, Meta App Installer and Meta Services. Any of which, while enabled, will result in the user setting an app to handle certain domain links, only for the users action to be instantly reversed without notification.

    Edit: that’s a gif if it doesn’t show up correctly. I had an app advertise itself as IG but Meta kept hijacking the link handler. An uninstallable Samsung forced Meta app, that enables itself back after each OTA update.

    If this was on desktop, someone would already be sued. But android? “Sorry can’t uninstall system app”
