What tv show had a big impact on you? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

I’m surprised this doesn’t have more votes. MASH was just full of great episodes. Including probably the greatest series finale of all time. Just incredible.

High scoring. High pressure.

Let’s go Collingwood! Some of the most exciting games of the year so far. Lets finish this off!

Had to have been close to game of the year! That last quarter was like watching two massive speeding trains collide for 30 minutes!

The Blues are actually looking pretty good. Solid game so far.

Apps that use google APIs (and similar) vs the webpage version - which is more private? (aussie.zone)

If I look at a news app on my iPhone, for example, I can see in iOS’s privacy report that the app is using various Google APIs for analytics, amongst others. I understand why (it’s free and easy for them) but means that despite the app not collecting data on me, Google still is.

In this case, is using the web version of the app (which is often an option) more private?

Here I’m assuming mobile Safari with privacy relay, plus some extensions to stop trackers etc.

Thanks in advance.

This. And if you have kids that just want a large catalogue of random games, it’s perfect.

Doesn’t seem many people commenting here like the idea. But for me personally, and my family situation, saves me heaps of money.

Sorry, my bad. I thought this was a petition OP had set up. And not Mozilla themselves to protect Firefox. Sleep deprivation :(

Why the focus on Firefox? Why not just say “browsers”?

I agree. Which is why government regulation is the answer. Out governments should set the bar, not push the responsibility back on to the consumer.

Sadly I feel this is a little like Twitter and Reddit users saying they’re going to leave the platform, then when push comes to shove just rolling over and grabbing another bag of Doritos.

How does Amazon/Audible know my country with VPN and private browsing on? (aussie.zone)

Title.

Trying to buy an audiobook with my US account from Australia. Am using a VPN and a fresh log in using a private browsing window. Still getting the “not for sale in this country…”

How does Amazon/Audible still know my country?!

EDIT: Thank you everyone for your suggestions, but I feel like we’re no closer to figuring out how Amazon is detecting my physical country. If they have some new “trick” surely this is a privacy issue as well?!

EDIT 2: Important details, this is on my iPhone using both the Amazon and Audible apps, and via the web with Safari (mentioned below). Doesn’t work.

I gave up and went to my desktop and was able to complete the purchase following the same steps without issue. So 🤷‍♂️ ?!

Clearly Amazon is scraping some information from the phone to region lock the purchase. Still would love to know given VPN isn’t masking my location apparently.

Bug? Swipe back to subscribed list takes you to home instead (aussie.zone)
 

From home, swiping left opens up my subscriptions. Selecting a subscription opens all the post there. Once I’m done with that sub, I’m expecting to swipe left again to go back to the subscription list so I can move on to the next i want to read.

Instead a left swipe takes me back home. This is strange behaviour. Swiping left is essentially a back to where you came from. Which in this case is my subscription list.

Could this be fixed please?

Suggestion: message counter colour is hard to read (aussie.zone)
 

I woke up today with 5 messages indicated down in the bottom row of buttons. But in light mode, that number was really hard to read with the black text against the red bubble background.

Recommend changing that number to white text. The contrast is much better. And keep the white against red for dark mode as well.

Thanks again!!

Zooming in on images issue (aussie.zone)
 

Love the app and appreciate the effort.

Just wanted to highlight that zooming in with your fingers on an image is super weird. It’s like the zoom focal point is way off the screen. Hopefully a simple fix when you have time to have a look.

Thanks again!
