They know what it is, but they're too busy on the app betting about how fucked up it can get. You Aussies love those dumb apps. OK, I'm kidding, I actually think they're too scared to protest because climate protesters are being vilified, harassed and jailed as criminals. Can't disrupt the narrative - The beers won't drink themselves! Won't be long before Australia has something like Belgium's pre-crime detention. Naughty Aussies will be rounded up and detained before they go and protest an event, and no one will give a fuck while the pubs open or Gogglebox is on. Once everyone is forced to get the Digital ID with facial recognition no one will be game to protest because they will freeze your bank accounts. And you won't be able to transact financially because cash money is nearly dead in Australia. Last time I was there everyone did everything on their corporate tracking and advertising device (phone). You guys are so screwed and you don't even know it. Your government does a tremendous job of projecting the illusion of freedom while you actually have none. Fuck me, your last Prime Minister gave himself four extra ministerial positions without consulting anyone, which breaks your federal laws, and no one did anything! You guys need an ICAC before anything can be remedied. Only vote for candidates willing to implement a robust ICAC.
Sounds great, but knowing something about how screwed Australians are for privacy I'm sure there's a caveat. Probably have to have a digital ID 100% verifiable human citizen before you can use it. Allow yourself to be AI tracked online and off 24/7 to get rid of some ads. If people did a bit of research you will find you can already do these things and more to increase your security and protect your own privacy. The governments don't like that though. If it's something like the EU's GDPR with no caveats then it will be an improvement.
Afterthought is an understatement. I didn't mind piping some of that info into an i3 status bar, but just a couple things. Who needs to watch all that distracting system stuff all the time. Using autocompletions on the command line would get that info quick enough. And whoever down voted my original comment - I'm laughing about it. Serious business right?
Maybe they're all newbies. The experienced Linux user is taking the picture.
Possibly, but time and again I see toxic support areas where some noob gets a berating.
This made me laugh. It's funny cuz it's true. And one of those crayfish is a newbie.
Required by Google. Yeah we gathered that much. Deceptive is what it is. It's not a "yes or no". It's a "yes or yes" shifting the burden of the GDPR law on the user.
How about we do anyway...fuck you. We don't actually need your consent. We need to present the perception that we care about you. This is just a round about way to actually get consent and scrape every fucking piece of data you give.
You need more than reclaim the net!
Looks good, however there's a zero day on Firefox. It has been addressed in Firefox 117.0.1.

A regulated Paypal crypto currency - Fuck no! I stopped using that deceitfully disingenuous corporate swamp years ago. Nothing good can come of this. I bet it's a privacy nightmare.
It's easy to see media resistance to climate change, and it's obvious climate protesters are being increasingly vilified, but I had no idea the corporate sponsored movement responsible was so old, far reaching and deep seated.
Ok, so I'm wondering how you explain the billions of dollars profit corporate sites generate from scraping and selling our private data? I'm also genuinely interested in how you might explain how TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter or anything Google are more privacy friendly than Lemmy?
I'm not suggesting any Federated service is private. However, we should be aware of and always working towards preventing Lemmy (in context) from becoming anything like those abusive corporate data selling clusterfucks.
