The dev is not tracking anything. Google ads is… and like the other comment said if you have Google Play on an android phone then you’re being tracked.

I’d wager most people complaining about sync also have a Gmail account or shop on Amazon, or watch YouTube, or a million other equally or more invasive stuff.

The trackers are from the ads. They go hand in hand so I think people mean both when they say ads. Ads tracking you is kinda a given. And if you pay to remove the ads the trackers never load either.

There shouldn’t be a loaded gun anywhere near a film set. That’s the problem, not him practicing his scene between camera rolls

Just release them far away from any power lines

The modern world is the enemy of attention spans, that’s all there is to it I think

I’ll second this. Learned this a long time ago. Anything you think you need on w3c schools can be found elsewhere.

You wouldn’t believe it, but people who live in Israel are called Israelis. Very suspicious indeed.

This is pessimistic but it seems to me that Florida is absolutely and incredibly fucked. It’s not even an uphill battle to protect the keys and Everglades, it seems unwinnable without absolutely massive and rapid global shifts, or am I just a doomer?

You’re the one speculating. You can analyze your network traffic to ensure it disabled, and as people have done and verified that it is disabled. Those are standard Google Ad trackers. Any app with ads has them, like Sync for Reddit did and Sync for Lemmy does.

I only heard of this recently… should I switch off Nova? What do I even switch to?

I’ve never used anything but Nova for years and years now.

Even with all that disabled there are still ghost profiles of you built. If you shop online at all you are building a fingerprint without the need of trackers.

That would have been too smart

Damn you’re missing out, one of the best games

This might not be a popular opinion, but I had a very short period of time between graduating school and starting work where I needed to learn docker and I found this course: https://serversforhackers.com/shipping-docker to be very helpful, they had a sale and I got the course and it taught me everything I needed in a few days.

You absolutely don’t need a course to learn it, but sometimes these can be easy shortcuts.

You’re not necessarily wrong, but the people who create the content I enjoy are on Twitch, so to me it is worth it. Everybody values things differently

I’m still grandfathered in at $8 for a few more months, at which point I will re-evaluate

It is not as simple as install uBlock Origin. I have uBlock, it is very easy to install a plugin.

However, every other day the current ad block solution stops working for twitch and you need to install multiple plugins (uBlock, TTV LOL), modify your ublock, or use alternate twitch UI which has no features, and since it changes so frequently I need to manually keep up to date with the changes on github for multiple plugins and scripts. Not to mention none of that works on mobile when you’re away from home, I use Pi Hole and it doesn’t block twitch ads. The ad block doesn’t work on chromecast or other devices.

Their ads are super aggressive, it is literally impossible to surf the website with ads. Every time you switch streams you’re served an ad which makes it very difficult to find people to watch or to follow multiple perspectives (I mainly watch RP).

For a few bucks a month I don’t have to deal with it and I watch Twitch more than any other streaming platform or social media, so to me it is worth the ease and consistency of use by just having turbo. The only two subscriptions I have are YouTube Premium and Twitch Turbo because I don’t get ads and I don’t have to deal with blocking them.
