You Should Know@lemmy.world•YSK that Apple makes millions of dollars with personalized advertising. If you have an iPhone or iPad, you should turn it off.
2·3 months agoWhen that setting gets checked, the IDFA gets set to all zeroes per the developer docs. So it definitely doesn’t stop data collection or attempts to target, it just changes that one data point. Instead of an easy “this specific account is associated with this action”, you instead get “someone who clicked the opt-out button is associated with this action - you’re going to have to target them using other details”

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•The disadvantaged are more sensitive to biased language for good reasons.
1·3 months agoYeah, as a 看得懂汉字的 native English speaker, seeing 族 used to describe both ethnicity and things as mundane as e.g. 开车族 always hits in a weird way. Reading 弱势族群 there would have struck me as the speaker looking down on them. I wouldn’t have got the “for good reason”, not because it’s not literally there, but rather because I probably would have instinctively interpreted the writer as not being sympathetic - something like “all those damn poor people” as if he were to continue on in an ignorant rant about his taxes going to undeserving people on welfare or something. 弱势群体 definitely doesn’t have that connotation.
Anywho, thanks for sharing.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why do some people have so many browser tabs open?
9·3 months agoI hate the default way most browsers handle tabs. Moved over to this setup years ago and I’m definitely never going back.
Firefox plus either Sideberry or Tree Style Tabs - both will organize your tabs vertically along the side of the window in a tree format. Follow a link in a new tab, it opens up as a new branch under the current one.
Pair that with Auto Tab Discard to keep memory usage down, and something like Open Link with New Tab to automatically open links across domains in a new child tab.
Now I tend to just collapse trees of related tabs and further organize broad related subjects in windows.
“I used to be with ‘it’, but then they changed what ‘it’ was. Now what I’m with isn’t ‘it’ anymore and what’s ‘it’ seems weird and scary. It’ll happen to you!”

It’s an illustration from the origins of the theory of survivor bias. Here’s an article:

The poster is implying that not all of these children “become adults who are extraordinarily competent and quietly resentful” because it doesn’t include the people who aren’t successful in overcoming the adversity.
