So it’s less a Siri upgrade and more just a getting rid of Siri and putting in Gemini slop.

Weird how many billionaires are just openly pro paedophia.

Good news; I found an outfit with pockets.

Bad news; it’s a romper.

Wait’ll you find out that over half the states in the US have age gating laws on the internet.

Don’t praise Cloudflare or Italy; both are part of the problem.

Lawnchair Nightly; it’s not as good as Nova, yet, but it’s getting there.

Donating to your local affiliate is good but I also recommend, if you can, to donate to other smaller affiliates too - especially the community public radio stations and ones not as focused on the news site of things.

Personally PBS, Dropout, Beacon, and Democracy Now are the only streaming services I pay for and don’t pirate.

Adguard won’t work but uBlock Origin on Librewolf or Firefox works with at least the EasyList subscription (possibly Peter Lowe’s too). You can also use either the built in tracker in Vivaldi (just go to Settings > Privacy and Security > Manage Sources) and enable EasyList/disable the Allow ads from our partners).

Vivaldi also supports MV2 uBlock Origin for now; it will say it’s not supported but Vivaldi is fighting the removal of MV2).

I’ve had a good mix of filters and haven’t gotten the adblock warning for Youtube (knock on wood). It’s been a while since configuring but I think enabling Disable pre-fetching (to prevent any connection for blocked network requests and I’m an advanced user will help out.

I have all the uBlock Filters, EasyList, AdGuard, AdGuard/uBO – URL Tracking Protection, Block Outsider Intrusion into LAN, Online Malicious URL Blocklist, Phishing URL Blocklist

Happily.

You could always just install Linux Mint and then install the Mint XP theme. No Microsoft Account required.

There is an opt-out. It’s called deleting your account. An people should do it.

Correction; a tomato pie with pineapple.

Discoverability; both with posts and following.

Also, nuclear blocking and feeds/lists are two things that Bluesky gets right.

To Torvalds, Chromebooks “are the path toward the desktop.”

Please don’t associate Linux with a close-source proprietary neutered web browser owned by an ad company.

Parents will go to where their family are on social; either get the family to post elsewhere, or teach them to be conscious about being on the big tech platforms.

Teach them about privacy settings like post audience; post pruning; privacy options; privacy checkups.

But not what Loop users can see.

Boost is the only one I know of, but that’s only because I’ve not looked beyond that.

Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy! As much as I love the 1981 BBC series, you can’t beat the radio series.

Boost for the longest time; but since I’ve been using Piefed, I mostly just use mobile Vivaldi/Firefox instead of an app (Boost still works with it; I just got used to using it over apps).
