12·29 days agoI wish more organisations would remove themselves from this platform, however it seems that they are deeply embedded and it’s an accepted communications channel with their customers/public.

6·1 year agoI’m disappointed, I expected to see at least one trampoline.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Turned my shitty Intel Atom 32-bit laptop with just 1GB of RAM into a useful lightweight workstation
9·1 year agoDebian is good for this. Enjoy it while there is still 32-bit support though. Edit- do you have any swap configured?

United Kingdom@feddit.uk•Ambulances called to Amazon’s UK warehouses 1,400 times in five years
4·1 year agoIt’s unfortunate that they missed out on Trade Union recognition at the Coventry facility recently. I’m sure GMD (or others) will keep on trying though.
I did check that out and their web page. It says
When it’s needed for the website to work properly, it will automatically accept the cookie policy for you (sometimes it will accept all and sometimes only necessary cookie categories, depending on what’s easier to do)
So maybe I’ll test it alongside Ublock.
I’m going to take this one away, create a new FF profile and configure. That way I can compare results with my original profile.
selectively, I hope.
There is Easylist Ads (currently enabled) and EasyList/uBO – Cookie Notices (disabled) should I enable this?
It’s something I should research more then.
As far as laws go, I’m in the UK and AFIAK privacy laws are still the same as before we left the EU. Other countries such as the US seem to have less strict laws (apart from the CCPA) which means a lot of US news sites I visit will geoblock me as they don’t want to comply with EU standards.

United Kingdom@feddit.uk•Drunken woman defecated on police officer who tried to put her in handcuffs
