Logging out of LinkedIn and closing your browser should clear them, unless they’re persistent cookies.
Using a VPN to create a new Spotify account maskes your actual IP address. Meaning spotify wont know your home IP address. But, if Spotify uses cookies from your previous sessions or if you log in with the same credentials, it may still serve targeted ads based on your previous activity.
So while cookies don’t transmit your IP address, they still influence the ads you see based on your browsing history and/or account information. For enhanced privacy, it’s usually recommended to set cookies to be wiped when you close the browser. I have a handful of sites I like to keep cookies for, but everything else is gone after each session.

But I’m just a person from the 89% of the population with this stance. So asking me isn’t all that useful. Asking at the demonstrations in a manner which takes account of each response is a much more logical way to help figure this out. Additionally, there’s definitely organizations who’ve done a lot of work here and have plans drawn up on these matters.

Those pushing back would eventually break from the pressure.

Does your mobile browser have reader mode? If so, enabling it as the site loads is a great workaround for this.
John Steinbeck’s story is a trip. He wrote about the “underbelly of society” according to the political leaders of the city he was from (Salinas, Ca) in his early/mid career. So much so, they kicked him out of town. After he blew up for his work, they felt shame for giving him the boot. There’s now a big museum dedicated to him in downtown Salinas, The National Steinbeck Center. What this proves is capitalist only care about you if they can make a buck off ya, otherwise, get lost!

§ɦṛɛɗɗịɛ ßịⱺ𝔩ⱺɠịᵴŧ@lemmy.mlto Linux@programming.dev•I am really considering moving from Arch to Fedora. What's your experience with this?English6·3 个月前Ya, RPM Fusion is handled by a 3rd party I’m pretty sure. But I was thinking more along the lines of what software is available though.
§ɦṛɛɗɗịɛ ßịⱺ𝔩ⱺɠịᵴŧ@lemmy.mlto Linux@programming.dev•I am really considering moving from Arch to Fedora. What's your experience with this?English6·3 个月前I’d have to think RPM Fusion is comparable to the AUR, no? I’ve never used Arch btw, but I do know Fedora pretty well.

Truly makes me loath those with power in the US government. Even Arizona seeing as this lady believes this BS would be well received there.
§ɦṛɛɗɗịɛ ßịⱺ𝔩ⱺɠịᵴŧ@lemmy.mlto Linux@lemmy.ml•Gonna give Linux another try, any guidance is welcome!English9·4 个月前For anyone new to the Linux world, I can’t recommend Learn Linux TV enough. He has a video walking through this exact process, here’s an Invidious and YouTube link for it.
As far as dual booting goes, issues can arise after updates. I recall this happening a few months back due to a Windows update. So just be aware of this possibly happening down the road. I need Windows for work at times too, but I strictly use a VM. I’ve hated Microsoft since Windows 8, their amount of user tracking is bonkers and a big part of why I just use a VM. This is just food for thought though.

§ɦṛɛɗɗịɛ ßịⱺ𝔩ⱺɠịᵴŧ@lemmy.mlto Privacy@lemmy.ml•Is there a well-supported secondary SMS phone number service?English17·4 个月前Definitely checkout JMP Chat, they’re actually based in Canada and offer super affordable alternative phone numbers. Using their Cheogram app even lets you incorporate it fully into your phone, so when you call, it’ll ask which number you’d like to use for the call. Calling has limited minutes each month, but the overage charges are very reasonable. It comes with unlimited texting as well. They encrypt everything on their end and it’s fully open source!
The add-on’s are solid. They have an elaborate curated list, plus you can access any of the mobile extentions by just searching for em.

A great paint option I don’t see listed is KolourPaint, plus Kdenlive for video editing. For audio editing, Tenacity is the better choice over Audacity. It’s an Audacity fork made after some questionable privacy policy changes.
CryptPad is an awesome Google Doc’s replacement, but Libre Office is actively working on their version too.
For your security section, adding some encryption software would be smart. Both VeraCrypt and Cryptomator are amazing. Also, Bitwarden/Vaultwarden are solid password manager alts for KeePassXC, with Vaultwarden being self hosted.
Here’s a great site for all sorts of Lemmy clients.
As far as Linux laptops go, System 76’s Darter Pro is also a solid choice. Tuxedo is probably System 76’s biggest competition, as they offer very comparable laptops. Their InfinityBook Pro is a great computer. Frameworks, Slimbook, and Star Labs are all also worth a mention.
Definitely recommend replacing Fennec with IronFox on mobile, it’s a fork of Mull, so it’ll be a solid privacy upgrade!
§ɦṛɛɗɗịɛ ßịⱺ𝔩ⱺɠịᵴŧ@lemmy.mlOPto World News@lemmy.ml•Why the F*CK Were BBC & Guardian Editors Meeting an Israeli General During a Genocide?English12·4 个月前Exactly! This is a big reason why all corporate media still endlessly states Hamas killed 1200 Israelis 10/7, while it’s now known Israel used the Hannibal Directive and were responsible for at least a few hundred of the deaths. This was even stated by the man in change of the Israeli military at the time too…

A virtual machine is the move, I’ve had a great experience with virt-manager. Strongly recommend debloating the windows VM if Microsoft is getting on your nerves. Here’s my go to software: https://github.com/raphire/win11debloat
Worksorks on both windows 10 & 11. It’ll allow you to remove telemetry, tracking, and even software Microsoft prevents you from uninstalling. I just can’t get it to remove Edge. But MentalOutlaw has a fantastic walk through of the process on his YT channel if you want some guidance with the debloating process.
Soo, OP’s account is currently ~30 minutes old. Not sure if it’s just me, but that makes me somewhat hesitant to join and I just wanted to highlight it for everyone.
