New study shows that the default apps collect data even when supposedly disabled, and this is hard to switch off

    Not posted here when I checked before posting and I just checked again, searching for Apple then sorting by new.

    Maybe the previous person removed the word Apple or it was a different publication which didn’t mention Apple in the headline?

      Nope, they have the exact same headline:

        I appreciate this post from OP and didn’t see the last two apple privacy posts. It’s fine to highlight but its coming off a little condescending that this person tried to share content but you’ve already read a post… who cares

          Wasn’t too rude. I still am not sure I understand federation between instances.

          And I just realised now that my app has a proper crosspost option (which I should have used). Nobody picked me up on that.

        They are lemmy.world but we are discussing this in lemmy.ml.

        Here is my app (Boost) not finding those articles. It is only looking at lemmy.ml.

          Welp, maybe I was wrong. Sorry for that. Should’ve checked more cautiously, I suppose

            I still don’t understand the whole federation thing. Does your app combine the “Privacy” group from lemmy.ml with that of lemmy.world and other lemmy instances?

                What happens if you do a search like I did in my screenshot?

                    Including mine I presume. Not the beehaw one I “crossposted” from. I will post about it on the Boost group, thanks. The developer won’t like being outdone by Thunder.
