Are you able to see what kernel version it’s running?

Thanks for pointing it out 😂

😈😈 Finally an advantage to using rEFInd 😈😈

Thanks. I’m still learning how Lemmy works 😅

Why is that?

Can you give some examples 😅

I’ve read the “learn more” bit now and I’m going to leave it switched on. (although I use uBlock anyway ‍😅)

I think this is a legitimate attempt to ‘fix’ the internet. It seems only very basic information on interactions with ads is recorded by the browser, and then it is anonymised. As an example, the advertiser should only receive counts of how many people bought a product after seeing a particular ad. I don’t think they can see what webpage anyone in particular came from, but maybe they can see that: 11% percentage of visitors came from example.com/some-page

Presumably the anonymised data is only provided once the pool is fairly large and wouldn’t show 100% of visitors came from cornhub when you only had one visitor 🤷‍♂️ Obviously websites will always see an IP address.

The idea is for this to substitute for traditional, more invasive, tracking. I think it may one day achieve that.

A warning though: I only just started reading about this.

Excuse me while I go and click that ‘learn more’ button…

A ghost 👻

You can’t trust what you can’t see.

I was trying to avoid making it more complicated, but I might actually look into this anyway. It seems it might be a more tidy way to install them all together. Thanks 👍

— Thank you to everyone for replying. I’m pretty satisfied now that there is no trick to prevent grub installing unless an option is given during installation. Maybe in future, more distros will have the option 🤷‍♂️
