Discord app tracking users across iOS installs

brie22 — Sat, 09 Aug 2025 17:02:03 +0000

Had to uninstall/reinstall the iOS Discord app today, due to it being unresponsive. After reinstallation - all my servers/chats were back in place, as if nothing had happened. (IDK if Discord had previously asked about tracking across apps, but I categorically click Ask App Not to Track whenever that dialog appears.)

Absolutely ridiculous that scrollbars are disabled for this page. The kids are too cool for such pedestrian web parts! Grow up and stop forcing your shitty UX on people.

Edit: Found it - it's black on black - even worse!

Would this be a good deterrent for cats? One of my cats has gnawed through several USB cables too in range to its mouth, destroying keyboards, webcams, ... Would be wonderful if so!

Ask HN: Technical Details of TikTok Ban?

brie22 — Sat, 18 Jan 2025 15:29:55 +0000

I am looking for details of the legal order for how TikTok should be banned in the US. Who is ultimately responsible for doing that? Is one of the Tier 1/2/3 level providers responsible? TikTok itself? Some combo of those? Something else?
