      Personally - I hate the personalized ad situation. I searched for Mitel PBX stuff a few years ago - then on every website I visited for the next week, the only thing I saw was the same 3 ads for different Mitel PBX providers. it was irksome.

      But what actually does that matter, if at all? Who cares and why?

      That's my question, too. Who cares? All ads are people trying to sell you stuff you didn't already want. Who cares which ones it is unless the ads are offensive?

        Who cares - tons of people.
        Why do they care? I don't like the idea of companies creating digital personas of me, and using that information to trick/bribe/convince - whatever word you want to use - to buy their stuff. It feels much less invasive when advertising is non directed. But of course, it's also much less effective when non directed.

        So your complaint is the TRACKING not the targeted ads. But you said it was ads designed for you that irked you. Ends and means, different things.

        It might FEEL less invasive, but that's only when ads are failing. The better the targeting, the less you will know. A truly targeted ad would also know that you don't like knowing it was targeted and will prey on your emotional response. And trust me, places like Google and Facebook have that tech and have for years.

        So your response to the ads, rather than the tracking, is not useful. Not liking being tracked? Understandable, but there is nothing you can do about it, people have the right to record public information. But don't react to the ads as if they themselves were the tracking.

          And if someone really did want to associate it with your name, it likely wouldn't be that hard to do.

          Who? Microsoft? The Bing or Cortana team? Doubtful. I doubt anyone even has the ability to access that information, and the people who do, I doubt would have reason enough to want to try associating your activity with an IP and link that to YOU.

          Correct, MS is certainly in the arena of being able to do that.

                    I'm going to update as soon as I'm off of a call through NextCloud Talk.

                          I see the upgrade to 15 as well. Are you guys running on the Stable channel or beta?

                            This is production. Always Stable.

                              I'm using Stable and it's not showing for me either.

                              Then again, 14 never showed while I was on 13, I had to use the updater.phar. I've found that method to be more reliable while updating anyway.

                                    Those of us using Stable, 15 should appear starting end of this week.

                                    https://nextcloud.com/blog/nextcloud-15-goes-social-enforces-2fa-and-gives-you-a-new-generation-real-time-document-editing/

                                    How do I get 15?
                                    
                                    As always, you can wait for the updater to help you move to Nextcloud 15. Users on the Nextcloud 14 series will see the new version appear starting end of this week, however, note that we roll out new releases incrementally! This means that it can take several weeks before it becomes available, and if a serious issue is found during roll-out, we will delay or stop the roll-out and wait until 15.0.1 is out with fixes.

                                        Just updated, looks slightly different. Noticeably faster.

                                          Try the Dash to Dock extension for Fedora Workstation

                                          The default desktop of Fedora Workstation — GNOME Shell — is known and loved by many users for its minimal, clutter-free user interface. However, one thing that many users want is an always-visible view of open applications. One simple and effective way to get this is with the awesome Dash to Dock GNOME Shell extension.

                                          I actually prefer Dash to Panel for that more Windows feel on Gnome

                                            I use to use Dash to Dock and many other extensions but now I don't use any extensions at all. I also disable all the extensions that come preinstalled too.
