Just switch out a few words.

Oooooh, cool meme template!

I came here smiling, yet you made me chuckle.

Nach meiner Einschätzung ist der Plan, Kunden durch ein gutes und breites Angebot zu Netflix zu bringen und dann langsam daran zu gewöhnen, nur noch das zu gucken, was dort angeboten wird (Burggraben ausheben). Dann immer mehr externe Inhalte rausschmeißen und interne Inhalte immer billiger produzieren und hoffen, dass genug Kunden bleiben / vergessen das Abo zu kündigen / sich mit der niedrigen Qualität abfinden, um richtig Reibach einzufahren.

Yes, I assumed so. Welcome to Lemmy! I meant: Complain to your government about it! Only when they are pressured by enough citizens is they’re a chance that they may reconsider.

Complain to your local government. Yes, many websites are guilty of surveillance capitalism themselves and are lobbying for it, but the recent push was largely in response to new surveillance laws passed by governments under various guises, such as protecting the youth.

Glad it helps you get by! I hadn’t heard of the rotating antihistamines trick and was curious about the mechanism, so I asked Dr. DuckDuckGo. Could’ve always been some other tolerance mechanism, like faster breakdown of the drug, which rotating might help with. The paper does mention benadryl and a handful of other substances, but it’s also ancient by research standards, so I don’t know if that applies to all antihistamines or if some circumvent tolerance induction somehow.

Does rotating them actually work? I thought they all just blocked your histamine receptors, so your body couldn’t care less just which substance did that for expressing more histamine receptors / making more histamine, thereby developing tolerance.

Edit: Yeah, so I hate to place a nocebo here, but taking a break, not rotating them, seems to be the only effective remedy to anti-histamine tolerance. That is, if taking a break is tolerable, of course. I don’t know if that has to be said but please take medical advice from your health care professional of choice and not from a lemmy comment.

Tolerance developed to one antihistamine extended to others, even though the chemical relationship was not close. Return of pharmacologic response to an antihistamine after discontinuance of the drug takes from 3 to 14 days.

You could say that it was showing a reflection of the sky.

Grundsätzlich wichtiges Thema. Bedrückend, wie das immer wieder gepusht wird!

Ich bekomme ein leichtes Störgefühl beim Wording von Punkt 2 des 5 Punkte Plans. Wie soll die Umsetzung aussehen?

1. Der Vorschlag, in Messengerapps grundsätzlich keine Kontaktaufnahme von Fremden zu erlauben? Jeder neue Kontakt auf einem Messenger ist ja erstmal fremd. Heißt das: Kontakt nur zulassen, wenn beide die Kontaktdaten des jeweils Anderen bereits gespeichert haben? Das verhindert jede Auffindbarkeit (“Guck mal, mein Freund Leo hat ja auch Signal, den schreibe ich mal an”). Kann man natürlich machen, aber ist schon unpraktisch. Und wenn jemand schon die Nummer oder Email hat, dann klappt die Kontaktaufnahme ohnehin one way. Alternativ ließe sich das ggf. mit einem small world network umsetzen, allow contact initialization only by friends or friends of friends by default. Aber wie groß da dann noch der Sicherheitsgewinn ist?
2. Nacktfotos grundsätzlich verpixeln? Geht nur indem alle Fotos gescannt werden. Ich weiß ja nicht ob die Information mal zuverlässig auf dem Gerät bleibt…

Ansonsten top: Mehr Personal, crawler und proaktiv Material löschen lassen, mehr Aufklärung, Nicht-öffentliche Profile by default.

This would make for a pretty cool SCP: A place or a person whom you can’t get super close to, because space around them behaves in a fractal manner.

The answer is no, but the other way round: If your regular poop stays inside long enough, it produces diarrhea again. Google paradoxical diarrhea. And don’t try it at home.

If Chromium becomes incompatible with privacy, the only real and broadly accepted alternative is FireFox. Which implementation, and as always in these kinds of discussions, that depends on your threat model: On desktop, I am very happy with LibreWolf. Mullvad Browser is also great, especially with Mullvad VPN, though it breaks pages a little more often than LibreWolf. On Android, I am quite happy with IronFox.

Might be a new addition to the canon.

Most probably a later addition to this myth, but there is a bemusing, historically stable, and well replicated correlation between stork breeding pairs and human births (1). On a per settlement level, this is commonly attributed to the number of chimneys as typical stork nesting places ≈ number of households ~ births. On a per area instead of a per city scale, I don’t know of any confounders that are quite as obvious; maybe industrialization as a confounder of the area of undisturbed wetlands as stork feeding grounds and an increase first of child mortality and later of sex ed. To be clear, I can’t exclude that medieval or early modern demografers already spotted at least the aforementioned city level correlation, as it’s strikingly clear and stable, but I highly doubt it’s the origin of the myth. 1: https://www.newscientist.com/article/mg26635482-600-the-uncanny-stork-baby-correlation-that-really-is-for-the-birds/

I often feel a little ‘legislative paralysis’. On the one hand, I want as little government interference in the free web as possible. On the other hand we can see first hand that web anarchy collapses into web oligarchy. I guess the EU is demonstrating that targeted legislation, like one click unsubscribe or one click cookie denial, can improve the web experience and privacy even beyond their borders. Baby steps… When do we get one click delete all my data? And when does a single page start caring whether my browser sends a Do not track request or not? Until then, it’s back to private privacy measures… Even if that’s an uphill battle.
