Wasn't euronews bought up by one of Orbans buddies?

Yep. Watch out it may turn soft on Russia abd its cronies.

Some partners do not ask for your consent to process your data and rely on their legitimate business interest.

Sounds a whole hell of a lot like rape language to me

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 days ago (1 children)

We need to stop calling these sites and services "free". Anything that's financed by ads, spying and profiling is not free, the user is paying with their attention, integrity and right to privacy. This is not nothing.

Presently, it's a shady and dishonest practice since the terms of the transaction are rarely transparent to the consumer; in other words, it's a scam.

Happy cake day

No I do not want to join your high three digit polycule.

Is it ok to slut shame a website for having too many partners?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Is it okay for a salesman to jump into your bed along with their 874 partners in exchange for selling you a newspaper?
(NOTE: Ads DON'T HAVE TO be targeted. You can show ads and not track the user.)

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 days ago

Or (being devil's advocate here): just don't be a fucking slut. Have like 3 partners and have ypur website pick the best offer dynamically, it's not that hard. In the end they all use AdSense, so they don't even need to give data to the other 873 or even Google itself - as you said ads don't have to be targeted. Although it's not as if it won't get there anyway.

874 partners

Man these polycules are getting crazy

It loads fine for me without CSS or javascript.

Why would you ever want to allow the execution of
adobeDatalayer_bridge.js
adobe_analytics_bridge.js
globalstore_bridge.js
?
Good example of third party trash hiding behind first party domain.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 days ago

Sorry to bother you, but how do you check/block scripts? Personally I use Firefox with uBO and Noscript, but noscript seems pretty rudimentary since it only lets you block domains. Me not knowing what the various per-domain toggles mean doesn't help either.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 days ago (1 children)

That many partners is guaranteed to produce some sort of infection.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 days ago

A GDPR infection on the wallet, I'd hope.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Is there a way to spoof this personal information randomly?

I mean, denying them my cookies and browsing history and shit defends me from that one site, but salting the earth and poisoning the well with randomized false data must surely weaken the data miners, if done on a broad scale.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 days ago

okay i agree.

"you have to disable adblock to read the article"

Sure, turned it off.

"you also need to sign in to read it"

Okay, here's my email.

"seems like this article isn't available for free, would you want to subscribe?"

Librewolf (Firefox fork with better privacy) + uBlock Origin (comes pre-installed) + "AdGuard – Cookie Notices" filter enabled, plus any of the others you like.

Then bask in the internet without any annoyances, popups, or ads.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Ususally just turning off javascript using ublock makes these notices go away. And if turning off javascript breaks the website... well then I guess whatever I was trying to read wasn't really worth my time anyway.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 days ago

Same thing when a website wants me to disable my adblocker to read further....toodeloo, my attention span don't reach that far.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 days ago

one must appreciate the vision and legislation that's enforced that particular phrasing. it becomes so much more starker -- how cavalierly your data is treated.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 days ago

What happens when you click the 1st sentence - continue without agreeing

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 days ago (7 children)

One time a game asked me to allow cookies, instead of a "deny all" button I had to deny each partner individually. I was standing there disabling every toggle for about 15 minutes because there were 500+ of them.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 days ago

that happened to me once, when i got to the bottom of the list there was a Reject All button. i was pissed lol

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 days ago

Hill Climb Racing did that for me. I tried doing what you did the first time, then it kept sending me that every two days, so I just used Rethink DNS with the block trackers and ads blocklist.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 days ago

You are very dedicated.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

I would have written a user-script to find all check boxes and check them automatically.

Oh, wait, a game? So not a web browser?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Sounds like fandom.com

Even when disabled at a high level, their sub checks are still there and there are hundred of them. Deceptive BS.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 days ago

That bloody wiki farm is so user-hostile that there's at least one extension redirecting its traffic to wikis elsewhere.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 days ago (2 children)

I don’t even need to worry about the tracking at fandom because they do that stupid “auto play an unrelated video at the top of the screen and once you scroll past it it moves down and perpetually stays on the screen, taking up 30-50% of your mobile screen” so I will always immediately close the page once I see that fucking bullshit

Truly hostile ui design. Just open disdain for their users. At least it’s muted by default

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 days ago (1 children)

If you replace fandom.com with breezewiki.com in the URL, you'll either get an unfucked version of the page, or you'll get a redirect to a new wiki site that the fandom actually updates. It's crazy how fandom doesn't let communities remove a fandom site, so there are all of these unmaintained and out of date fandom wikis out there.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 days ago

Nice, this is helpful. Fandom always popup as the first result.

EDIT: as a demonstration, here's what happens when you use breezewiki with the Noita fandom page: https://noita.breezewiki.com/wiki/Noita_Wiki

hot tip, love it. Someone should make a browser extension that just does this

Thanks, used this on my laptop.

On further investigation you can also make this work on iphones with the following app:

https://apps.apple.com/us/app/redirect-web-for-safari/id1571283503

it has a subscription but the free version works for this.

the rules need to be set as:

DNR type

Redirect from https://*.fandom.com/wiki/*

URL pattern wildcard Resource types main_frame

Redirect to https://breezewiki.com/$1/wiki/$2

Name it whatever and post a fandom wiki link in the examples section to make sure it works. There are instructions that link to a json file that should open in the app, but it doesn’t. Maybe that worked in 2022 but it doesn’t anymore. Easy enough to input manually at least. Can also use the app to force reddit to redirect to old.reddit by default but multiple rules requires a subscription, I think

That's the situation where i close the page, and add it to my blocklist permanently

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 days ago

i would juat have denied that game.
