I’m pretty sure there is no particular reason why it’s done this way. It’s just the easiest method to coomunicate upvotes across different servers. There are already a lot of ideas for doing it differently or more efficient (e.g. vote aggregation) but that requires a more sophisticated architecture:
Wait until you learn that PDFs support embedded Javascript.
!rct@sopuli.xyz and !rct@lemmy.world should work much better.
I played Into the Breach to death on release. I even got all the mechs and achievements. Just looked at it again and it got a free Advanced Edition update?! Holy shit, brb playing the game a 3rd time!
These men are pawns!
That’s great to hear. Maybe I will finally ditch Element for a true native app :)
Man these showcases are great. They give you a quick overwiew of the available software and are managing to keep it focussed on particular use cases. Probably the best introduction to Linux software I’ve seen so far.
Cool stuff. I didn’t even know about NeoChat.
The reason sites all have the cookie permission dialog now is because of the GDPR, which has the right idea on data privacy, but the implementation wound up being so terrible that it winds up doing this.
GDPR is not at fault here though, since it does not require asking for consent if the processed data is necessary for the purpose of the provided service. For example, a web shop usually wouldn’t have to ask for permission to store items in the shopping part because that is a necessary part of the online shopping process. In that sense, requiring the consent dialog for all unnecessary purposes is better as you can at least see who’s trying to screw you over. Don’t kill the messenger here.
I think it’s also important to remember that websites can only get away with these annoyances because it a) is easily automatable and b) has been the default mode of operation for decades. If restaurant waiters today started asking guests if they could sell info on what and when you ate, who you were with, and what you looked like, everyone would be creeped out. Before GDPR, it was pretty much normalized to do the same thing on the internet without even asking for consent.
Tor is an application and technically doesn’t even has much to do with Linux itself, except that it also runs on it. Where you using a guide for installing and if so which one?
