In Europe you have to opt in to newsletters. Companies are not even allowed to have the opt in field pre checked!

You activelly need to tick the opt in check box.

When you ask them to delete your account they should delete your account. There is no excuse for them to have your contact information if you dont have an account with them

This I would reply and CC my local data authority at the same time, asking for the info that the data authorities need when you file a complaint

Company official name, address, registration number and preferred means of communication with the data authority (phone number, email address, post adress)

I thought it was a title to an article but it turn out it was someone who mistook Lemmy for a search engine

Jetpack It made 5 mil last year for making wordpress better for the ones who are willing to pay

Very interesting thank you!

Yeah i use it for ESO and it works well for me. I am just wandering why this is posted here

Newbie here: is proton a bad thing?

Well, IMO ads are ads. Targeted ads are not better just because they are relevant or can be ignored

Exactly, I was ok with Facebook showing me untargetted ads. But when they removed the option and forced me to either accept targeted ads or pay €30 a moth to go free, i deleted my accounts on all of metas platforms. Its more lonely but i get to read a lot more books and have less futile discussions

I was surprised to hear ads at the end of audio books where they mention more books by the author or similar books by the publisher

No but it is the propper thing to say/do

Thank you!

I am sorry to ping you again, superior user, but i feel obliged to mention that it had been a far smaller inconvenience for you to list the three alternatives that you meant, instead of suggesting people look it up and then guess what you meant. especially when you suggest that Nord is not one of them. You insinuate that you have some knowledge others dont.

Teasing it like this only proves your personality not your knowledge

‘I am very smart, trust me’

So why not mention them?

I tested this. but it only brings up the page info for me, but with no option or way to get to the area where you add a site to the exceptions (in the security tab)

It’s like a mini game to get the choices right

I kind of find this to be a good thing. Clean up in the conversations and restart the good ones. I don’t mind losing chat history. It was practically not even searchable anywaybso nonuse for it as I see it

Do you know of an easy way to add sites to the exception list? I really like how easy itnia to “fireproof” sites with a press of a button but in Firefox it takes quite a lot more.

Even threatening with a GDPR request was taken seriously by them half a year æg when I deleted my account.

How can it be a valid option when it is only available on android and the reason why OP is having this issue, is that the niece is on an iPhone?

WTH dude… You can send letters. Unfortunately it’s IRL only and isn’t at all what you asked for

Thanks! I’ve noted all the suggestions and will try them out when I feel ready to try a different browser.

I just assume it’s one single user with too much time and too many accounts.

Thanks for the concern. At the end of the post I have added an update to this. It turns out that I had turned off hardware acceleration on the DDG browser and that was the reason it was tapping on my CPU instead

Not as easily it seems but to be fair, i haven’t looked too much into it. In DDG I get asked if I want to fireproof the site, when I type in any information. Then I just press flame icon to torch everything else multiple times a day.

Sorry - I don’t expect commenters to go through replies to other commenter’s so I thought it was the most reasonable thing to do

Oh ok. I didn’t know.

On DDG it’s an icon on the irl bar where I can just mark any website that I want it to remember. I them just torch everything else multiple times a day.

What I like with DDG is that I can clear all cookies, cache, history etc except for the sites that i have “fireproofed”. Also all the tempting plugins that make life easier on FF are too tempting, and I always end up running many of them. The lack of such on DDG keeps things simple

Oh yeah! I am not using Opera any more, and as mentioned it is “parked” so I only have it installed but never use it . I just wanted to check if the issue was browser based of due to my PC. I have updated my post though, because I found out that I had turned off Hardware Acceleration on DuckDuckgo and that was the issue causing the choppy experience

We should have a challenge of finding the site with most “friends”.

You can actually use windows without an account. When installing windows, they will force you to log in. But If you simply use an account that has been blocked it will create a local user instead of an online user. People use no@thankyou.com and it works well

It’s going to be difficult after deleting the account though

I think that a spare device with disabled GPS and maybe even disabled microphone (can i do that?) would work best. Some of the features on Instagram can’t be accessed on a browser

Per account! I have 2 on Instagram an done on FB. They offered an intro price for €10 that would go up to €19 on may 1st. I believe it is because one of my accounts is linked across IG and FB so they count as one… 🤷 lucky me! At this moment I have uninstalled and waiting to see how EU reacts to the “choice options”. Its more like a forced option really
