MrQuallzin@lemmy.worldto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Introducing reitti: a selfhosted alternative to Google TimelineEnglish6·2 months agoThis is really awesome! I was just about to start looking for something like this, so great timing. Going to get this up on my Unraid server tomorrow and play around with it
A web browser is not a computer. A phone is not a desktop computer. Google (and most other large companies) keep many features restricted to their full websites, not mobile apps and mobile versions of their sites. For those who are used to/grew up with smartphones, tablets, and chromebooks, these tactics help to make it harder to leave their ecosystems as they aren’t used to navigating desktop environments.
(Chromebooks do give desktop versions of websites by default, but they have helped reduce technological literacy in exchange for convenience)
They said to try again on a computer. All your screen shots are from a phone. You might get the same result, but we won’t know until you attempt it.
It doesn’t sound like they’re making more work for you. It sounds like you’re making more work for yourself, and it sounds exhausting.

It’s always a risk buying used drives, and everything I’ve seen and heard about them has been good news so I expect OP getting a replacement should be pretty easy.

MrQuallzin@lemmy.worldto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•This whole "Sign in to prove you're not a bot" thing is pissing me offEnglish43·5 months agoYou got a source for that?
One of the ways VPNs work is by having all your web traffic look like it’s coming from somewhere else, obscuring where you’re really from. They will see a different IP address than what yours actually is. If you were the only person doing this there would be no problem, but VPNs only have so many servers so companies often know what IP addresses those are. What they see is THOUSANDS of actions being taken by a single IP address, so of course it looks like bots! It makes total sense to have some verification to help against DDOS attacks and bad actors.
MrQuallzin@lemmy.worldto Firefox@fedia.io•Mozilla rewrites Firefox's Terms of Use after user backlash | TechCrunch5·6 months agoThe article points out that the legal definition of what a sale is didn’t match how they were using it. They didn’t stop promising to not sell user data.
MrQuallzin@lemmy.worldto Firefox@fedia.io•Anything you say or do on Firefox may be used by Mozilla against you. You have the right to use a different browser. If you cannot find a browser that doesn’t fuck you over one way or another, one37·6 months agoNot sure how comments propagate between Lemmy and Mastodon, but I’m getting tired of the fear mongering and misinformation about all of this. Can you point to the specific parts of the new Terms that you’re afraid of? I’ve gone through it, as have many others, and these are pretty boilerplate standards any company would have. Things like AI bots are USER enabled. You have to actively turn it on to use it and DUH you’ll have to agree to that services Terms as well.
MrQuallzin@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How do people doctor shop? Don't all doctors pass info on all their patients between each other? And in this day and age how do they do it.?22·6 months agoDoctors don’t necessarily send patient information between each other, but many practices use connected platforms (i.e. My Chart) that a new provider could pull previous history from. Doctor shopping is when a patient goes to different providers/practices in hopes of getting multiple prescriptions (such as controlled substances like Vicoden or Percocet). Others mentioned maybe it’s pharmacy shopping which is when a patient takes prescription(s) to multiple pharmacies hoping for better prices or, in the case of controlled substances, trying to find one who won’t check the state’s controlled medication reporting system to verify they aren’t already getting it elsewhere.

MrQuallzin@lemmy.worldto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•My YouTube homepage after I watch one balatro videoEnglish5·7 months agoSame here. My wife and I primarily watch YouTube (mainly let’s play style stuff, but a lot of non-game stuff as well). Looking at my homepage right now, I’ve got a few gaming videos, some Dropout (amazing comedy), some 3D printing and DIY videos.
Over the years, the algorithm has gotten pretty good with its recommendations for us. Watching some niche videos barely affects our feeds.
Yeah, without a side-by-side comparison with another I’m not seeing anything slightly infuriating.
Same. Started working retail, floated over into the pharmacy since they needed help, and I’ve been there since.
