I have trouble with using tone in my words but not interpreting tone from others’ words. Weird, isn’t it?

GeoGuesser, powered by the Google Maps API, generates a likely location of the user. It finds the midpoint between the 2 datacenters and draws 2 circles that signify his radius.
Cloudflare has more servers in Europe than in North America. That does trace you to which country, which IMO is pretty significant. Especially with the GeoGuesser “average the circles” thing he coded.

Technology@lemmy.world•Apple Pressed by India to Pre-Install Government Apps on iPhones
62·1 year agoWhy is all of this not a single app?
Because they have very different functions though all associated with the government. It’s just better to separate apps with different functions.
Thanks for the explanation.

World News@beehaw.org•Outrage over Elon Musk ‘Nazi salute’ at Trump inauguration
15·1 year agonah that’s how you flood the zone. it’s what the camp has being doing for years. announce something batsoot insane, do some publicity stunt that’s also kinda insane to drone out said thing, finish the announced thing, rinse and repeat. Musk learned it when he changed the then–Twitter logo to a Doge to flood against Epstein-related allegations.

1·1 year agoIf Daniel Penny had reasonable doubt of intentionally choking that homeless guy to death, then Musk definitely had reasonable doubt of intentionally doing the Nazi salute.

82·1 year agoIt also prohibits " Providing internet hosting services to enable the distribution, maintenance, or updating of such foreign adversary controlled application for users within the land or maritime borders of the United States." I’d say “maintenance” includes the hosting of new content.

1·1 year agoX is Musk, which is TL;DR quite different
it doesn’t censor news with class consciousness like Meta does
Maybe? But they do manually tell the algorithm to heavily favor the elite’s videos with their “heating” tool.

2·1 year agoDon’t they do the same things? In fact TikTok spies more stuff, but they just don’t sell it to private entities as much.

Technology@lemmy.ml•How to delete Facebook, Instagram, and Threads | TechCrunch
4·1 year agoYeah, and 1. Even in 2018 there was only like 25% more searches compared to the 2012 and 2025 peak of 100% more 2. TechCrunch covered #deletefacebook when that happened anyways 3. 2012 was “The Year Facebook Finally Tried to Make Some Money”. I don’t see what people mean by “not doing justice”, as TechCrunch seems to be covering how to delete Facebook when people want to delete Facebook.

12·1 year agoCome on. The last time searches for deleting Facebook trended this much was in 2012. And even then, they posted pretty much the same thing but for just Facebook in 2022.














Windows machines have default antivirus. I would not expect disabling push notifications to be a basic security measure. Pretty much everyone has push notifications, including the target audience. A lot of them also don’t take a device-wide VPN because they expect only websites to track them.
