Body and odour. It’s a new deodorant line.

I’m surprised this doesn’t have more votes. MASH was just full of great episodes. Including probably the greatest series finale of all time. Just incredible.

To be fair, with Apple it’s kind of both. Because they make a large chunk of their gazillions off hardware, they can make privacy part of their platform and mean it.

Whereas with Google, trolling your private information to sell you more stuff is all they are, and everything else serves this.

It may not be perfect, but in my opinion it’s ok to view the former as a better option than the latter. If convenience and integration are also important to you.

They are saying they do not use language that makes judgement, because that is not what they do. They are a neutral reporter of what is happening in the world (ie the news).

Everyone laments that “news” has been overrun by opinion journalism that tries to influence left or right. This is what “just news” looks like.

Congratulations on you new job!

High scoring. High pressure.

Let’s go Collingwood! Some of the most exciting games of the year so far. Lets finish this off!

Had to have been close to game of the year! That last quarter was like watching two massive speeding trains collide for 30 minutes!

“Never delete an email”. Pepperidge Farm remembers.

What breed is he/she? Looks like some pasted floppy ears on a blue heeler!

Wasn’t it headed by David Spergel who is an astrophysicist? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Spergel

Dave-o?

Wtf is wrong with you?!

The Blues are actually looking pretty good. Solid game so far.

It’s 3 plus/minus 1 sigma

Yes! Excellent advice!

I am a big fan of RSS and have been using it as my primary source of info for at least a decade.

I actually already had SBS but only just now realised that ABC pages (eg “just in”) can be entered directly and it’ll find the RSS version (using Reeder at least).

Do you have advice about how to centralise/organise RSS? I use Feedly as a cloud source that I point Reeder at (have also been playing with Fiery Feeds). But I can’t help but think there’s a better way that doesn’t involve a third party (again, privacy).

Thank you. That’s very helpful.

And yep, https://www.abc.net.au/news is exactly one of the sites I was thinking of. I notice their app makes many calls to firebaselogging-pa.googleapis.com and similar. Sending who knows what.

Moving to the web version I’m hoping can blunt such things. On iOS I use AdGuard, Hush, and StopTheMadness. https://d3ward.github.io/toolz/adblock.html tells me I’m not doing too bad in terms of ads and tracking.

Two others which are pretty bad with their apps but have very similar webpages:

https://touch.footytips.com.au/home https://www.afl.com.au/

I guess my question was if webpage versions of apps can/typically use Google analytics-type tracking of what you’re doing.

And more specifically if Safari with private relay, perhaps with some extensions, can hide anything such webpages are trying to scrape.

Yeah Morrowind was great for that. Felt more old school RPG where you actually had to explore to complete quests.
