A truly shocking number of people don’t use any form of adblock. I doubt that driving off the adblock users will have a significant effect on viewership (and even if it does, why would Google care, it’s not like we’re making them money).
Hi! :)
Nazis and tankies can fuck off.
Слава Україні!

No, you don’t. That’s your bank or maybe an Italy thing, but I can login without providing anything beyond my username and password. I do need to use an app to authorise transactions, but not for logging in and viewing my account balance or transaction history, pending transfers, etc.
Everyone is disconnected from nature,
I live in a city. Me being “disconnected” from nature has nothing to do with my phone. It’s a personal choice to live as mosquito-free a life as I can. (Also I just genuinely enjoy living in a city.)

What are you even on about? There’s one every day.
each other
Literally the opposite of truth. Modern technology allows me to stay in contact with people I’d be unable to stay in touch with otherwise.
And more. When’s the last time you saw a concert?
January.
Everyone is staring at their phones and not even enjoying the moment they’re in.
Yeah, because my fucking commute would be so much more enjoyable if I spent it staring into the distance and/or at the other people on the train.
Many are depressed and drowning in meaninglessness.
And you think that’s somehow a new development? I mean, I guess you don’t have time to think about life if you spend every waking minute just trying to survive as a hunter-gatherer but I wouldn’t call that better.
When we look at old pictures of beaches from the 90s (not even that old) everyone appears physically fit, bright, and happy. Did our gadgets really make us any more free, or happy?
Because as a general rule people don’t take pictures of unhappy moments. Especially not when taking pictures is actually expensive, film wasn’t cheap and neither was getting it developed.
but if the only solution is to go live in the woods, is it really worth it?
Yes.
Fuck no. I don’t enjoy literally everything that’s associated with living alone (and a small group with limited-at-best contact with the outside world counts as “alone” as far as I’m concerned, I enjoy meeting people) in the wilderness.
You seem to think that because you’d enjoy life as a hermit in the woods everyone would. No. No, we would not.
There’s quite a leap from “absolutely everything is completely fine” to “I hate all humans”. Both are idiotic sentiments.
Individual politicians calling for something doesn’t make it government policy. It’s concerning, but so far that’s all that it is.
Then what is it? A war in a highly urbanised area, with one side, Hamas, deliberately and illegally blending their fighters in with the civilian population. That same side has also broken literally any agreement ever made with it, including the most recent ceasefire by the way, has continually and deliberately attacked civilians for years by firing rockets at civilian settlements in internationally recognised Israeli territory, and it has clearly stated that it will not accept any agreement that sees it giving up power in Gaza, which should make it obvious why negotiation simply isn’t an option for Israel.
For what it’s worth, your comment seems to have federated just fine.
It also doesn’t allow you to actually exclude keywords. Which can be utterly infuriating if you’re looking for a specific entry in a franchise or a lesser used definition of something.
Appât faible, pote.
Or just straight up mine that crypto on someone else’s power bill. Much less obvious, so people may not even realise that their systems are compromised.
In other news, pope rumoured to be catholic.
I think you’re confusing MacOS with iOS.
I’m with you. I was in the market for a new laptop earlier this year and it was surprisingly hard to find something that didn’t look like it was designed by and for a bunch of teenagers. Not that there’s anything wrong with that if that’s what you enjoy, but it’s thoroughly not my style.
What VPN offers 12 months for $12 and is there a catch? I’m happy with Proton but having something cheap and trustworthy to recommend would be nice.
As far as I know they still support some of their old Intel lineup, but it’s all ARM for new devices now.
Meh, the only time I’m actually using my mouse for prolonged periods of time is when I’m gaming. And whenever I feel strained I’ll just switch to a controller, I’m absolutely terrible with controllers but they still feel less weird to my brain than trackballs.
It’s almost certainly going to be litigated at some point, so a court is going to define “essential”… eventually.
To Firefox, sure. But if you’re on Windows and your preferred alternative is Chrome you really might as well stay with Edge and benefit from the integration into Microsoft’s ecosystem. Either way your data is being harvested.
How is that a good thing? I want to be able to chargeback if I don’t get what I ordered.
