Like someone else already mentioned, this is absolutely not forbidden under EU law. And even Meta's own internal documents say this is ok.
The world would be a lot better off without this industry and the tracking it relies on.
Yeah too bad regular websites and QR codes don't exist anymore. No alternative to putting everything on facebook. /s
> It’s pretty simple - the EU is unable to produce alternatives. This is because they don’t have the software talent for it. Honestly, that's not true. Anyone can make a facebook/instagram/whatsapp alternative and the…
Too bad this important comment and reference ended up so low in the discussion thread and it makes a hugely important point that should be right under the current top post in the thread:…

The EU does this for good reason. Trump won in part because of a huge campaign organised on and aided by facebook. Sarah Wynn-Williams' book Careless People goes into detail on this. But feminism isn't a 'political'…
Also, it would take a toxic manosphere American culture to even consider feminism "political".
Meta has a complicated history with Barcelona. They had a huge moderation centre in the city operated by a company called Telus (which incidentally happened to be located in the iconic Glories tower - formerly Torre…
This was a court order. Nothing to do with politicians.
Orange is not blocking it on my fiber yet but it is on my mobile connection. The strange thing is I use the same DNS on both (which exits on my fiber connection, even when I'm on mobile), so they must be blocking it…
The order only went through on Friday so presumably the ISPs will take some time to catch up.
>Maybe not from the start, but definitely since the EU sunk its teeth into it. We can look forward to ID-controls for everything online, and monitoring of what we write. Yes, they just made a big step in that direction…
Ahhh crap. I noticed that earlier today. Archive.today blocks some DNS providers like CloudFlare and I thought I had ended up on the wrong DNS again. Time to fix that by running a real DNS and not just a forwarder…

And the S5 was waterproof and almost the same thickness as the S26 Ultra.
Yes please! That would be great. I would love to just be able to replace a screen easily. And really this is what this law does already.
Yes, F-Droid and its apps are great <3 They add so much security by simply not having a lot of tracking code that can be exploited and tries to hook all over your system. And they have reproducible builds which is…
Also for AuroraOS on other phones with google services but no signed-in play account.
GrapheneOS will always choose security over privacy, even if that means playing into the hands of malicious actors like Google. For example they have stated they won't try to spoof SafetyNet because "we don't lie about…
Yes but Aurora isn't only for GrapheneOS. I use it on a phone with (unfortunately) regular google play services. If I sign into the play store, that same account will be used for all other google services on the phone…
Annoying but this kinda thing happens every 6 months or so. Sometimes Google starts throttling, other times doing some API checks. Every time the Aurora guys figure out a way around it.
I don't think a TUI is easier tbh. It's certainly more economical on resources, that's for sure. Really amazing programs running in 35k or so, compared to hundreds of MB for a whole electron stack. The more decent…
