    It collects and stores information about your system and also has your identity tied to your purchases.

    I don’t think it’s a big privacy concern as far as tracking and spying on you.

    But realize any device you install steam on then is tied to your real identity if you purchased games on that account. And can be used with data gained from other parties to determine your online activity if a government were to be able to obtain both.

    It’s worth noting that I had to retire a few devices that I used with my iCloud before I could enable ADP because they didn’t support it. That may be why it’s opt in, although it’s not a very good reason.

    The other reason may be because Apple can’t recover your passcode if you turn on ADP and they don’t want customer support nightmares of users losing access to all their precious photos and memories because they could be bothered to manually back them up or remember their passcode






  • The principles of operation of the fediverse are actually very aligned with the “small government, personal freedom, free speech” ethos that conservatives in the US claim to have.

    The culture on most fedi spaces is hostile towards anything less than luxury gay space communism politically but it’s pretty easy to ignore because the power structure of the fediverse is ideal and makes it so you filter out the very worst of the tankies if you so choose.

    Now if you are a fascist who is only concerned about dominating others opinions and rights, and only care about freeze peach and not freedom of association and expression I can see how you might find the fediverse objectionable.

    The fedi needs more voices from all sides, it does not need fascists.



  • Omission of details in this image can be slightly misleading. However branding the container as “Paperbottle” is much more misleading by an order of magnitude.

    Product labeling is almost pointless. Especially if it can be missed by a photographer.

    Neither is right, but one is definitely more wrong












  • Lemmy world is probably the most centerist instance that hasn’t been defederated. Lemm.ee are sh.it.just.works are probably good replacements if she thinks it is just to far left wing but it’s probably that she is seeing .ml or one of the other various socialist instances.

    She will need to utilize her block list to block tankie users and communities if she doesn’t want to see them. A lot of entrenched users are here because they realized that mainstream platforms were enshittified a lot earlier because they of their anti capitalist views
