They just block two different options in the software so that they could differentiate.

I’ll take a bus for 1h rather than pay a taxi to get someplace in 10 min to save $40.

No, I never liked Twitter, so I can’t even begin to bother about mastodon. Never heard of the other one.

I tried the Instagram clone for a few days (forgot the name), but it was so empty I left it again.

Cousins in my age group once every few months maybe, aunts and uncles hardly ever. Not even my own all that frequently, but we have a whatsapp group with those and my parents where we chat somewhat frequently.

If you live in a country that is not the US, these things are certified and taken seriously.

Hm ok. I never look at comments or usernames.

I’ve downloaded books (novels) in pdf format, emailed them to myself or uploaded them in a public folder, and then printed them (double sided, two pages on one sheet, just like an actual book) in chunks of 20 pages (so 80 pages of the actual book). Stapled the whole thing in one corner, sat down at my desk, pen in hand, scribbling on the pages here and there.

Also (and this is a genuine question): Why would I care? They don’t earn anything from me. Does their political affiliation matter when it comes to sourcing copyrighted material?

But do you know about Windows 10 IoT LTSC?

Supported until 2032, and comes without copilot and any other garbage, fully supports local accounts, etc.

All it takes is Firefox with some tweaking. Or simply use it with chameleon (browser plugin) that throws fingerprinting off big time.

I’ve been using Nine as exchange client since 2014, it’s working great. Didn’t receive any updates in well over a year though, but that’s hopefully because there’s nothing needed.

If you’re stuck with Windows at work, you might have. I couldn’t log on to our domain remotely and was unable to open some documents and emails that were signed as “internal use only”.

OnePlus, Pixel, Sony, Sharp.

I used the volume controls for the website in my phone’s pulldown menu to stop it, then the music player resumed. Still very much unwanted behavior. Will dig into the page source and see if there’s anything hidden.

I’ll do some digging in the code and see if I can come up with a custom filter for ublock.

Nope there wasn’t anything visible, I’ve been scrolling up and down to verify. Unless the video was somehow truncated or scaled to 1x1 px or something.
