  • This has been supported on Samsung devices for years - it was first added to the Galaxy S8 (2017). It's called Samsung DeX. You can plug a phone or tablet into a monitor, keyboard, and mouse, and it gives you a full screen experience.

    They have docking stations, but you can also just use a USB C hub.

  • forcing users to give them a worldwide commercial license to everything you enter through Firefox?

    That's not what they actually did, though. They revised the wording to clarify:

    You give Mozilla the rights necessary to operate Firefox. This includes processing your data as we describe in the Firefox Privacy Notice. It also includes a nonexclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license for the purpose of doing as you request with the content you input in Firefox. This does not give Mozilla any ownership in that content.

    For example, if you type something into the address bar, they need to have the permission to take your content (whatever you've typed) and send it to a third party (a search engine) to get autocompletion results.

    Here's the blog post that clarifies the changes: https://blog.mozilla.org/en/products/firefox/update-on-terms-of-use/

  • Yes, because the definition of "sell data" varies by jurisdiction, and they can't guarantee that their usage of ads (eg the default sites that appear on the new tab page) does not fall under the definition of "sell data" in some jurisdictions. In particular, California's CCPA is pretty strict and some use cases that aren't actually selling data still fall under its definition of "sell data".

  • They changed the wording of their policy for legal reasons. They haven't actually changed what they do. They already updated the text of the policy to clarify.

  • This is a very good comment. I'd give you Lemmy Gold if such a thing existed. Thanks for posting it!

  • At least on Facebook you practically always choose friends to add, groups to join, pages to follow, etc. A surprisingly large number of Reddit users just stick to the default subreddits.

  • The US needs Obama 2.0

  • Reddit will warn users who repeatedly upvote banned content

  • It's way easier to do with Lemmy compared to Reddit. Because of its federated design, it's trivial to subscribe to a stream of all activity in a community (posts, comments, upvotes, downvotes, moderation actions, etc) and do things when particular actions happen. Unlike Reddit, on Lemmy you can get a list of who upvoted or downvoted a post or comment.

  • It's weird that there's some jurisdictions where employers don't have to list the salary range in the job listing, or upon request from an applicant before an interview. It doesn't make sense to have to do interviews only to find out that you'd be massively underpaid.
