The dev is not tracking anything. Google ads is… and like the other comment said if you have Google Play on an android phone then you’re being tracked.

I’d wager most people complaining about sync also have a Gmail account or shop on Amazon, or watch YouTube, or a million other equally or more invasive stuff.

The trackers are from the ads. They go hand in hand so I think people mean both when they say ads. Ads tracking you is kinda a given. And if you pay to remove the ads the trackers never load either.

There shouldn’t be a loaded gun anywhere near a film set. That’s the problem, not him practicing his scene between camera rolls

Just release them far away from any power lines

The modern world is the enemy of attention spans, that’s all there is to it I think

You wouldn’t believe it, but people who live in Israel are called Israelis. Very suspicious indeed.

Even with all that disabled there are still ghost profiles of you built. If you shop online at all you are building a fingerprint without the need of trackers.

That would have been too smart

Damn you’re missing out, one of the best games

“enshittification” in every other post

I was thinking about this the other day, if traditional forums adopt activity pub it can really open the fediverse up to niche communities with larger and already established user bases. I think it’s a logical progression of the technology.

Honestly it is really smart how they went about this. From what I’ve read, they only started development on Threads at the start of this year. They acted very fast to create Threads. Then after the rate limiting bullshit this past week, they saw the perfect opportunity to release Threads early to capitalize on the current issues with Twitter. I work in tech and I am really impressed with what they’ve done so far from that perspective.

It isn’t that everything they’ve done is necessarily difficult; they just got it right it seems, which these days seems to be rare from tech companies (including Meta and their Metaverse).

I don’t care about Twitter or Threads either, I just love watching Musk have a meltdown
