Except this is the 6th recall this year

I’ve been using Firefox on Android since it came out. I’ve had 0 issues.

And as far as I’m aware, the newest version of Android Firefox (previously called “preview” doesn’t use an ounce of chrome, even for temporary browser pages

Firefox also has a mobile app with full extension support on Android, including uBlock origin

To my knowledge, DNS blockers not only miss a ton of ads, they also trigger several false positives.

A better solution is to switch to something not chromium like Firefox or whatever alternative the next Linux person to read this comment recommends

I was just discussing with a friend of mine how we’re rapidly approaching the dead internet. At some point, many websites will likely just be chat bots talking to other chat bots, which then gets used to train further chat bots. Human made content is already becoming harder and harder to find on algorithm heavy websites like Reddit and facebooks suite of sites. The bots can easily outpace any algorithmic changes they might make to help deter them, but my fb using family members all constantly block those weird Jesus accounts and they still show up constantly

Funnily enough, the bot everyone identified as tik tok hasn’t hit me as far as I’m aware. It’s mostly been random LLM bots grabbing data to train.

I should specify - I have family of various, but typically quite low, technical skills and of various far distances apart that use the server. So it’s either walk them through getting the IP of every device they access with or driving up to about 8 hours away to do it myself.

I have family and friends that also access the sites contents, so that’s sadly not feasible without getting the IPs from dozens of different devices

Thankfully they haven’t bricked my modem yet, but it’s possibly worth looking into

My personal website that primarily functions as a front end to my home server has been getting BEAT by these stupid web scrapers. Every couple of days the server is unusable because some web scraper demanded every single possible page and crashed the damn thing

I really don’t understand why PolyMC forked… Multi MC still has several third party mod packs available

Wait, what happened to Multi MC? I still use it whenever the want to play modded Minecraft returns

No one gives a shit about the CEO of telegram, your joke just wasn’t funny

It. Wasn’t. Funny.

Obsidian is just sooooo good. I hate that you (technically 😉) have to pay for multi device sync, but the UI and UX are excellent, especially if you’re already proficient in markdown

Haven’t tried logseq before, so I can’t compare

Hard disagree, I love assembling things (that have a little thought put into the process)!

Hell, now that I’ve finally got my 3D printer setup properly after hours and hours, I’ve barely used it!

This is still dumb as fuck from Peloton though

Easier solution: download Firefox. Install unlock origin

Once you’re at this level, you’re looking to get improvements of a fraction of a percentage. I don’t know the specifics cause I’m not a pro shooter despite being American, but from other high level skill people I know, you hit a point where improvements basically plateau and you have to resort to increasingly niche products to obtain non skill improvements. If you want proof of that, check out calligraphy and fountain pen communities. The amount of money some people spend on things I didn’t know existed is wild.

(No bad judgement to those folks, I’ve gotten hard into map making and 3d printing lately, so I’m right behind you)

When my grandparents call me to ask about something, I consider it main stream.

They called me the day it happened asking wtf was up.

I definitely think that the amount of people who know about has shot up probably a couple thousand percentage points, and not for the better, but it definitely didn’t flip.

The other guy needs to Google what “hyperbole” is though

Wait, the Chicken Soup people own Redbox? Has that always been true?
