  • I liked to use a three tiered approach…

    Back when we could jailbreak our iPhones I’d use this and overwrite the system’s hosts file. I still use it on my Mac, even if I can’t on iOS anymore.

    A VPN is an excellent solution, but when selecting one, you have to read the privacy policy and NOT give the policy the benefit of the doubt. I’ve seen a few that give themselves permission to share your info while making it sound reasonable. I use lockdown personally.

    For Safari Extensions, 1Blocker is what ai currently use.









  • I remember playing this on the Wii, it felt like, going in, it was a spiritual successor to Banjo-Kazooie with Mario Sunshine mechanics, and a threat to the existence of Kingdom Hearts.

    Then I played the game, and my impressions sank.

    The morality system was, IMO, poorly balanced. Trying to do good is excessively tedious, and it’s easy to accidentally do evil (Oswald’s kids, anyone?) Then you decide you’re not having fun finding all of Mecha-Goof’s parts, and decide to come back to that collectathon later, only to find that you’re locked out of that and have to pay a ransom instead.

    I really hope this version is more than just a new coat of paint.


  • The risk is that Mozilla is in a position to add features and stability at a rate that smaller developers cannot possibly replicate. By doing so they risk becoming the defacto standard (embrace/extend). Then they get to dictate what the entire platform should or should not do. And you’re either on board or left in the dust. And if Mozilla decides that moderating a social network is too much of a liability, then we’re at extinguish.

    To be frank, I’m so jaded by big players in this late stage capitalist world that I don’t trust anyone I might otherwise be fine with, like Mozilla.
