That makes sense. Now it seems like a dilemma though. I assume that authority looking over this aspect of privacy would monitor the cookie sites to ensure no data is being retained when a user selects no, but that still leaves an opening for hackers. Well, I guess empty cookies would only mention the device ID and website ID and date accessed, nothing more.
Something I noticed on a few websites, including stackoverflow, is that they leave tracking settings up to a different website, which still lets that external party know what websites a user has been seeing, and this can be maliciously abused.
I realize this might have been mentioned before, but I didn't see any similar posts in a quick search.
My guess is they want AI dataflow capable internet on the user end.
Previously on Sync, that space was used for subreddit banners, but I'm not sure if many Lemmy communities use a banner.
Ah, I figured there's that kind of problem. I was wondering if the alternative was that the server running the API were a different process or potentially machine from the one running the web front.
Hey. Great work putting the app up so soon. There seems to be an issue every once in a while with loading content regardless of the origin Lemmy server. I'm guessing something on the API end. Is the API host specific instances (i.e. is the host of the sync API currently just the Lemmy.world instance)?
Yeah, I really appreciate the fact that it's an action that can't be done accidentally in most cases.
No one else here use script blocking? Great for selectively disabling external scripts, google analytics, and other trackers, for example.
I'm not sure why you're receiving down votes. It's simple as that.
