Linux@lemmy.ml•How is linux on the Apple iMac 27” Retina 5K (2017)
21·1 day agoIt’s fine. I’ve used Debian on that machine. You’ll need to do Broadcom but that’s incredibly easy and if you find it to be too complex or hard, and I mean this as helpful assistance as opposed to an insult, it’s likely Linux isn’t really for you right now.

DeGoogle Yourself@lemmy.ml•Is there a Google Wallet replacement?
1·2 days agoThis almost sounds like you’re saying it’s a good thing that the fintech company you gave your card info to has to argue its case for committing or abetting fraud with Lloyd’s of London who is its owner and has a vested interest in it successfully committing or abetting fraud.

DeGoogle Yourself@lemmy.ml•Is there a Google Wallet replacement?
12·2 days agoWalt is in early access and hasn’t completed an audit yet and curve along with all the other middleman fintech companies has a storied history of data breaches and godawful customer service regarding chargebacks and fraud that skirts bank regulation.
I’m not gonna fight you about this. If you wanna post a tankie wall of links style reply to convince everyone that the best of the fintech middlemen and the early access no employee company are on the up and up you should do it.
I hope they work well for you and you encounter no negative consequences.

2·3 days agoIf you really want to get right with it, use cash in person.
In person is the only reason to have nfc anyway so cash sidesteps all the data concerns and you don’t have to choose between trusting a particular big corporation, yoloing it with Jim’s third party processing app or raw doggin’ the possibly a skimmer payment terminal.
People will say “well, what if they track the serial numbers of the bills dispensed at atms or deposited by a store?” but that just means they don’t understand how retail works and shouldnt be listened to.

DeGoogle Yourself@lemmy.ml•how do you get google to stop tracking you even after you tried everything?
2·3 days agoI’m not sure you’re picking up what I’m putting down.
You cannot do what you’re trying to do. I don’t know why. Other people can. I can. You can’t. There could be a lot of reasons for that and you’re failing to troubleshoot the problem. None of that is an indictment of you.
Try to do something else: open a container tab (I am a firefox user, so I use Firefox’s container tabs), log into google and watch your videos. Open up a different container tab (again, I am a Firefox user so I have to make a different container to use) and see if the recommendations follow you there.

53·3 days agoIf it’s about getting away from a company you don’t like, move to apple. If it’s about data privacy, stop using your phone as a payment method.
None of the alternatives are safe or secure. Do your own research on this because I might have a different understanding than you of what’s safe or secure enough.

DeGoogle Yourself@lemmy.ml•how do you get google to stop tracking you even after you tried everything?
2·3 days agoI asked if you were actually clearing your cache in the other thread.
In this one I’ll try something different: have you considered logging in?
You are, based on two threads full of replies from you, incapable of avoiding “google” “tracking”.
It could be that you’re running android, that your google access point is sending telemetry or that you simply don’t have enough understanding of how the web works to effectively avoid being tracked no matter what operating system or software package is in use. That last part isn’t meant as an insult, web browsers are basically their own os and extremely complex.
Have you considered using a sandbox setup like Firefox’s container tabs and logging into google on a particular container?
That avoids the need for you to avoid tracking by saying to google “I’m me!” While also presenting them an empty browser cache and cookie sandbox to play in.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•what am i doing wrong? i feel like i have no privacy or connivence
2·4 days agoMy experience has been the opposite, but I use firefox and do not experience the behavior you’re describing.

2·4 days agoYou never cleared your browser cache.
Whatever’s around. Some writable filesystem.
Ty! I also have one of the same model, same specs, completely busted top cover that wiggles and wobbles around if they want to slum it and save some more bucks.
Tbh you should just get a mac.
You can have privacy on them with a little less effort than on windows and they’re already decently secure. They can play cyberpunk and you already have the linux (bsd) toolkit. They’re already the kind of computer you like with the good trackpad etc.
I would drop your “be European” requirement.
I can sell you a 15” dell with a quad core and 32gb of ram.
E: this is not a joke, I have a 3520 from a couple of years ago with an 11th gen i7, a 256gb nvme, the sata kit included and 32gb of ddr4. HMU.
I don’t care about whatever argument you’re having. It’s extremely inaccurate to claim Americas entry into ww2 was diplomatically motivated when Japan was taking by military force islands that had been part of an extractive zone contested by them and America. It’s literally two imperial powers low key fighting over their periphery then one goes PISS NUKE INCOMING.
Again, I do not care about whatever argument you’re having. If anything I want you to be able to integrate more information into your understanding of imperialism. It’s really hard for us as westerners to do that when so much of the groundwork of our historical understanding is jingoism and great man and it’s good you’re interrogating your own ideas.
Also you should probably start with the Spanish American war as your American point of entry into imperialism (you say here “global interventionism” but idk wth that means.)
