@Zensate Uh, no. Being compatible with secular values and ideas of human rights does not make someone or something "atheist" or a bad Catholic unless one interprets their faith in hegemonic terms (i.e. that its the Pope's or the Church's job to be intolerant).

The Catholic Church has a history, a lot of it being nasty, yet core Catholic doctrine (divine inspiration can come from many sources and be interpreted by people, uh, the person) suggests a lot of that history was totally unnecessary.

But keying on your own theme, its more likely that a religious person who can't find common ground with atheists or other religions is really just a "terrible" person.

@CodenameDarlen If you use a VPN service, enabling this will effectively disable the VPN. If I were @fdroidorg I'd post a big fat warning on this app.

GDP is a garbage metric. It encourages destruction and externalization.

@cannedtuna This is why opt-out doesn't work. If you reset/reinstall your system, you have to remember to opt-out again.

Same thing anytime you switch to a different system.

The vendor can also create 'snazzy new feature' that has a similar-but-different behavior embedded in it... and the new feature is opt-out.

@thenewoil@mastodon.thenewoil.org You see, sometimes corporations like to make jokes...

@thenewoil@mastodon.thenewoil.org @bagder@mastodon.social I'm of a mind that this vuln keeps cropping up because its being handled at the wrong level in the stack, and maybe in the wrong way as well.

Consider what it would be like if the OS presentation layer detected this, simply by highlighting any parts of strings that don't belong to the same language as the first (visible) character in the string.

@thenewoil@mastodon.thenewoil.org Is not what I'd call privacy...

@wbrianwhite That sounds like fraud to me.
