Isn’t this a perfume for women? Anyway, I like it!

Same here. I was a uMatrix user for a long time and I was astonished sometimes how bloated some sites were with scripts and tracking domains. Nowadays I mostly use Edge on my work machine which is somehow ad-free but all sites work.

Firefox with uBlock / uMatrix needed often too much fine tuning to make sites work properly.

I was there last year (differnent location, though)! Fantastic concert, Laibach is a true legend...

Even if you find an alternative it might not help you if not all the others would follow, too, and you could find the type of content and contacts you currently have in FB on that other platform.

Same problem with many social networks that became toxic, but that can't be replaced easily, because in other, better places, you might not find the same content and contacts.

Me neither, but I guess the tracking will also take place when you just browse the internet and visit websites, that have Google Ad Tracking technologies implemented (which could be the majority of websites). Tracking and Ad-Blockers like uBlock might help a bit, though.

The specifics are complex—these are the algorithms that ingest all the data signals you give off when browsing the internet on any device, some based on who you are—device, IP and credential identifiers, but also the sites you visit and apps you use as a map to be followed and analyzed.

Bricks and mortar houses would burn, too under these circumstances.

What do the scales below and above the timeline represent? There's no explanation of the data displayed.

Correct, the main selling point for music streaming services is about having one place where you can find all your favourite music. It's acceptable if you don't find all the Star Wars stuff on Netflix - you can either watch other shows or movies instead or subsribe to Disney until you've seen it all, but a music streaming service with only the content of one or two major labels would probably be less attractive for many people, because they would only get a limited amount of music / artists. Also for the record companies it could mean higher cost (for maIntaining their own streaming service) and potentially lower profits.

But not for free as far as I’ve understood. You may have to pay a yearly fee for it.

 
 
 

I have been looking in settings, but somehow I can’t find a setting to show link previews for URLs instructions instead of just a copy of the title with a frame around it.

If that is not a feature yet, I would like to request it. All other Lemmy apps I am currently testing show link preview, so the Liftoff timeline looks kinda weird.

Other than that I really like the clean UI design!
