I’m pretty sure I used this and was surprised it has options for DDG and other search engines too: https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/ublacklist/

I use Caddy for all kind of things and it has a very simple file browser built in that can be activated super easily: https://caddyserver.com/docs/quick-starts/static-files

There sometimes are induction loops under the street for this purpose: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induction_loop

Its so interesting how different people perceive these things. Disco Elysium was so stress free for me, I didn’t really think the day counter did anything. With Outer Wilds I think its really the anticipation of what I know is inevitable to come. And then I nervously wait for all those cues that tell me how much time has passed already… And yeah, very stressy for me, haha. Still, I should really push myself to finish it sometime because I’m really curious how it all ties up.

I couldn’t bring myself to finishing it because “the timer” stressed me so much :( I loved everything else about it so much.

Its very easy to deploy fail2ban for Jellyfin: https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/post-install/networking/advanced/fail2ban/

You really want to destroy that poor guy, do you?

The privacy policy changed not explicitly for the game. It is possible the data collection behaviour has always been like that and they only now have rewritten it to comply with current laws. The way its written is common to comply with EU law (what in detail may be collected and for what purpose).

Nothing changed for anyone that bought the game and only plays the game exclusively (eg. on Steam).

That’s exactly how it works with any other privacy policy you will find (except when the service is spun out in a subsidiary like Meta > WhatsApp LLC where WhatsApp has its own privacy policy). Look at Ubisoft’s privacy policy: https://www.ubisoft.com/legal/documents/privacypolicy/en-INTL Ist’s the same. Or worse maybe? They are more clear in their language on why and where the data gets collected. That’s where Take-Two could have done a better Job.

Or EA: https://www.ea.com/legal/privacy-and-cookie-policy?setLocale=en-US

Same shit. Not saying that I like it, but this is not new at all. Take-Two is not a suddenly a spy company that installs spyware. Privacy policies have been like this for years but it seems some people currently woke up to reading or caring about privacy policies for the first time in their life.

I just read the german version and compared them a little. (https://www.take2games.com/privacy/de/) Its about the same. But ist also reads fairly normal like any other privacy policy. I also think its in line with EU law. The collected data always relates to whatever TakeTwo service you use and whatever data you provide voluntarily or technically by using it. Thats fine by EU law.

Instagram/Facebook and its “Business” products. I truly believe Meta actively works on making its products as unusable as possible in a brower. As in: removing, breaking or obscuring functions that work in their apps. **This makes working as a team with different device types a massive pain in the ass. **

Don’t even try to be logged out of an account and use these sites in a browser. You might as well have a 5 year old write a html page on a ducking Disney Princess Play Click & Swap Laptop that is more usable in a browser than Instagram without an account.

Disable automatic updates in the play store. I have them dissbled for all my apps to have better control over what is pushed upon me. I noticed that also stops the Duo icon to change when I was slacking off.

… I think he meant a different kind of major picture. But still, your math checks out.

I’m trying really, really, really hard to not go back to streaming piracy, you know. :(

Canceling the trial worked but not deleting the account. You can read in my other comment what the whole messy process looks like.

Correct, canceling the trial worked on the Apple TV page, but deleting the account does not work (see my other comment that describes the whole process).

I subscribed Apple Tv+ (free 7 day trial). I just needed to provide my personal data, email address and PayPal data. When I decided to cancel I could cancel the subscription on the Apple TV+ page, but when I wanted to delete the apple account in itself, I was forwarded to accounts.apple.com where I was asked to login first. When I tried this, I needed to enter my 2FA that I got by email and then I had to enter my mobile phone number for another 2FA. After that the screen that you can see in the reddit post comes up and I cannot proceed past it. I tried this process dozens of times with different browsers and configurations to no avail.

… I now sent in a GDPR account deletion request.

If it works, it’s a fine strategy for now. Just keep in mind that it’s just a strategy until you feel more comfortable and confident to set new boundaries that are good for you, too. I too suggest to stay away from him at some point. At a distance you are in a better position to reevaluate how you may or may not maintain a relationship with your dad. Stay strong, many people here understand and support you.
