TheFinn,

The issue here, I’m sorry to say, is that your parents dropped the ball. They were the ones responsible for your health and the safety of your environment.

TheFinn,

The data sharing persists even with merlin. I get a prompt about it as soon as I tried to enable those advanced features. I still get updates though.

TheFinn,

The data sharing happens on merlin too

TheFinn,

Here are some screenshots from my router administration pages. Notice the “Powered by Asuswrt-Merlin”.

In the first image you can see that I have a particular feature disabled.

When I toggle it on I receive a warning that my information will be collected by Trend Micro.

I included another screenshot showing the location where I would withdraw my consent to having my data collected, were I to actually use the advanced features of the router, that I thought I was paying for at the point of sale. Instead I was apparently paying for the privilege of having the option dangled in front of me, behind an agreement for yet another, separate company to collect my family’s data.

TheFinn,

Sorry about that. I guess I completely missed your point that you were referring to data sharing only via the new “agreement” getting foisted on people. Fingers crossed it doesn’t get into Merlin.

TheFinn,

If you date him, wouldn’t you be settling?

He’s getting upset and aggravated because of who you are and the things you want out of life. A good partner candidate would try to help you achieve those things instead of try to change those things about you.

TheFinn,

Do you not read much or something? I’ve been using both singular and plural “they” my whole life.

TheFinn,

I’m not centuries old but I’ve used it to refer to individuals when I didn’t know their gender, and also when it wasn’t necessary to indicate gender to determine who I was talking about.

I’m almost fifty and went to private schools if it helps.

TheFinn,

At this rate I bet it’s cheaper for them to Uber everywhere.

TheFinn,

This was very helpful, thank you.

Edit: is the FUTO app restricted in any way until I purchase premium?

Google Allows Creditors to Brick Your Phone (lemmy.world)

I installed NetGuard about a month ago and blocked all internet to apps, unless they’re on a whitelist. No notifications from this particular system app (that can’t be disabled) until recently when it started making internet connection requests to google servers. Does anyone know when this became a thing?...

TheFinn,

Pixel 6a here in the US. I bought it directly from Google. I have the app.

Explicit sync Wayland protocol has finally been merged! (gitlab.freedesktop.org)

Since nvidia drivers do not properly implement implicit sync, this protocol not existing is the root cause of flickering with nvidia graphics on Wayland. This MR being merged means that Wayland might finally be usable with nvidia graphics with the next driver release....

TheFinn,

I’m all for progress, I hope it helps people, but I haven’t had any issues with my Nvidia card and my two monitors on Wayland.
