masalah··on Google's Gemini AI caught scanning Google Drive PDF files without permission
That would make a bit of sense then, I don't have lyft but uber lists over 6 distinct notification types, where disabling one would lead me to believe the other notifications would keep pinging still.
masalah··on Google's Gemini AI caught scanning Google Drive PDF files without permission
Thanks for that link! I was aware of that feature hence why I was curious which cases where apps get additional permissions rather than lose as expected.

Can you share some apps where this happens for you. I have rather the complete opposite experience where unused apps with permissions eventually lose said permissions.

Suuuure

Do you have any evidence for this doubt or just blanket racism?
masalah··on Microsoft steals access data: Beware of the new Outlook (German)
Yes, my experience with Windows 11 is that everything is constantly, in my case a Dell machine with extra OEM bloat to deal with. It can be harder for older people to deal with that, I'm already 30 and finding all that harder to navigate already.

Maybe sticking with an older version of that software that doesn't need windows 11 might be the best option if possible.

You mention they still need windows for an accounting software, did you decide to go with another PC brand then and might I wonder if these issues would be different with another brand?

Can this screen show ads instead? I feel we're not getting enough of them.
masalah··on Google seems to have signed me up for Google Pay without asking
This one is different, you logged into Chrome with your Google account and stored the data of your credit card to the same google account.

If you type your cc info into vscode with your msft account logged in and a sync option enabled then you also shouldn't be surprised if you found it into your msft account.

masalah··on Google seems to have signed me up for Google Pay without asking
I really don't get the surprise. Data saved in chrome is saved into your Google account, whether they label this data under pay doesn't seem to be of a surprise to me at all.

masalah··on Apple Joins Blender Development Fund
Great news, Blender is an amazing piece of software that I always wanted to do more with but never eventually get the time/effort to learn.

Could you please elaborate how does Blender's license prevent them from having an ios port?
masalah··on Bare metal Apple M1 Debian at 4K 60
It's ridiculous how people downvote this and support apple and other corps rendering otherwise fine hardware into waste
masalah··on Margaret Mitchell fired from Google
How does project zero trash talk their employer, do you have any such instance?
masalah··on Poll: Switching from WhatsApp
Concerning sms in many of the countries worldwide sms is not free/unlimited as the case in the us you only get a specific amount in your plan with extremely late/unreliable delivery so it's basically unusable for chat where I'm from and only works in the case of ads and credit card transaction notifications.

whatsapp also had the advantage of being simple to use requiring only your phone number and it worked on pretty much any phone you had from symbian feature phones to the latest iphone helping it to gain widespread traction among people.
