Google should have to clearly communicate to users what they did. Only few will even read and know about this. Rarely anybody will care.

Misbehavior on such a scale should at least be communicated so users can make an informed decision on their continued trust.

Usually, your consent is a simple yes/no flag, no and saving that in a cookie is enough.

I have seen this “processing” before. My assumption was that it sets cookies on third parties websites instead of only the one you visit. The basis for that assumption being that some ad network and tracker websites have/offer “opt out cookies”.

I haven’t checked whether that’s actually the case.

There is no other reasonably valid explanation for it. Setting a few cookies doesn’t take that much time. It would then be either intentionally slow and lying to you, or has horrendous unacceptable implementation (which could be seen as unlikely given how obviously customer facing it is).

(I’m not saying it’s good or bad. And I assume you made a conscious decision on it.)

I don’t think taking action to fill a hole is indicative of not caring.

The Steam Link Linux App Flatpak/on Flathub should be added.

I’ve been looking for a way to replace my Steam Link with the Steam Deck as a PC Desktop Streaming Target. And the Steam Link Linux app should be the solution.

Is this partnership merely about sharing links to each other? Or more?

asklemmy post that went viral: I need to survive for 3 days without pooping, and eating as little as possible. I can pee, but not very often. It can’t take up too much space. What food do I pack?

That looks great!

The collaborative open source approach is very interesting too
