  • Google is rolling out a new feature called “Privacy Sandbox” that also enables websites to use Google’s new “Topics API” to view web addresses in your browser history.

    People are generally concerned because it allows a site like Petsmart.com to learn that you bank at WellsFargo.com and that you also visit Nickelodeon.com frequently. Petsmart may then use this information to target ads at you.

    The larger concern is that just about any website can learn this information (so not just Petsmart.com, but SouthernRecipeMamaOfFour.net can also get this information, which is excessive access for a site like that to say the least). The fear is likely overblown, though.

    What can you do to protect yourself? Don’t use Google products or Chromium-based web browsers.

    Edit: Looks like my understanding was off. Shout out to NicoCharrua and a couple other users who clarified that Topics API doesn’t expose URLs, but instead looks at the URLs in your history to create topics (kind of like tags) that other sites can see. Hope my potential employer doesn’t find out about my love of large ethnic butts!

  • It’s a guilty confession, but I always wanted to bot in that game. I never decided to give it a try, but some of the grind is just so tedious.

    I never get sick of that Peaceful Forest BGM track, tho.

  • I just found this community but I would love to participate in the next one!

    I’ve been interested in the following types of simple projects: picture frames, simple board games (checkers or the Cracker Barrel Peg Game), napkin holders, pencil cups, simple toys, etc…

  • YES! Always great to meet another fan.

    If you look back through my comment history, I had a looong nostalgia trip with another Lemmy user about the good ol’ days.

    I still miss playing RO, but I usually go back and play on a pserver once a year around December. I just crave killing Elder Willows for some Dead Branches so I can fight random monsters :)

  • I don’t know how I feel about this. On one hand: I dislike the trend of commercial companies buying up living space to turn around and rent it out to disruptive short-term tenants.

    On the other hand: I don’t want to have anyone else present in my rental with me because that’s creepy.
