    lawsuit claims

    It's right in the title. So you claim it is true. I can also claim that you sell my personal data. Doesn't make it true.

    Let that lawsuit play out, and wait for the verdict.

    Just spitballing here.

    As you said, right now, you only pay taxes on profits at the time stocks are sold. Which means I could gather billions in "wealth" and never cash in, thus never pay a single dollar in taxes.

    Suppose we would change how taxes are paid on stock profits. What if you had to pay taxes on yearly profits every year? This way, you can cash out at any time, because the tax is already paid. It would work just like regular income tax. Deductions and losses on the market would still apply.

    Don't forget that chrome is also censoring saved bookmarks and purging bookmarks to URLs that are on their naughty list - right now that's mostly piracy related things, but the precedence is set.

    Your comment is a prime example of FUD.

    For context, see https://lemmy.one/comment/2495139

    TL;DR: Google is moderating public facing lists of links. Compare it to Lemmy moderators deleting illegal content in their communities.

    You can still hate Google all you want, but please, don't just read the headlines.

    while the usual stuff on Windows is pretty useless

    "useless" or "useful" to you. That's my point. Someone who does not have any use for Libreoffice will get just as annoyed as you would get with a pre-linked Office-Suite.

  • unholy software..

    When I last installed Windows I had to google where do download [...] On Linux most came preinstalled

    You can't have it both ways.

    On one day, you complain about all the so called "bloatware" that's preinstalled on Windows (more "pre-linked" and easily installed, and these "links" are easily deleted).

    The next day, you complain that the specific subset of software you want to use is not preinstalled on Windows.

    Lastly, the way you go about finding where to get your software, that's more of a philosophical question. Do I want someone else to curate a list of available software, or do I want to visit the publisher's website and get it directly from the source?

  • $5 billion Google lawsuit over ‘incognito mode’ tracking moves a step closer to trial
  • inge inge Now 100%

    Their browser says incognito mode offers protections that their website then runs roughshod over.

    incognito mode warnings

    That's the point of my comment. I won't say "don't sue Google", I'll say "sue Google, but actually read what it says when you open an incognito window". Offers protections against other people who use this device. And that's it.

  • $5 billion Google lawsuit over ‘incognito mode’ tracking moves a step closer to trial
  • inge inge Now 100%

    I think we might agree on the last part, but that's exactly the point of my comment. If these people are suing Google for privacy invasion tactics, all the more power to them.

    But the headline infers the opposite: "lawsuit over ‘incognito mode’ tracking". This reads like the plaintiffs don't understand what this "incognito mode" actually does.

  • $5 billion Google lawsuit over ‘incognito mode’ tracking moves a step closer to trial
  • inge inge Now 75%

    Am I reading this right? As far as I can see, the complaint seems to be that Google would be "tracking" people even if they browse in any browser's incognito mode.

    Of course they do. If I open a private window in Firefox, and then login to Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Reddit, or any other website, these websites can try to track me. How would any browser control what happens or doesn't happen on the server side of things?

    These plaintiffs would be better off sueing the companies of these websites for ignoring privacy laws and continuing to add tracking scripts to their sites.

    Yes, there are browsers that try to send as little personal information as possible, like the Tor Browser, but even that one can't disable a Facebook server's internal logging data - how could it? All modern browsers make it quite clear what their respective incognito mode does - and what it doesn't do.

    It's been almost 3 years, and a full load will last about 2 days. That said, I only use it intermittently throughout the day, and not for gaming or watching videos. That's what other devices are for.

    Cheers! I hope my 4a survives until there's another one of that size. I feels like most other phones are getting unnecessarily bigger. The camera software is a big plus, too
