Again, why use Windows at that point?

At that point please just use another OS. You should be keeping your OS up to date.

I really don’t like the trend of things that should be articles, being videos instead. And I’m very unlikely to watch one of these videos. However, this is a personal preference and I don’t necessarily think videos should be banned from this community. Instead upvotes/downvotes could decide that; if no one wants to see videos, no one should upvote them.

Use rss feeds maybe? Adding /rss to a tumblr blog’s url (in the x.tumblr.com format) shows an rss feed

People need houses to live. Taking stuff off your own server doesn’t throw someone out onto the streets and leave them to the elements. Come on lol

uses busybox so I can um actually your um actually

I don’t justify Mozilla’s bullshit, and I don’t use upstream Firefox for that reason (I use LibreWolf). Asking Mozilla to implement their own adblocker is asking them to reinvent the wheel. They should ship Firefox with uBlock Origin pre-installed like I said. Asking Mozilla to write their own adblocker which will likely be less effective than a third-party adblocker, is absolutely not the same thing as justifying them sneaking in opt-out PPA. How on earth do you even see those things as remotely comparable

I’m saying that your suggestion is ridiculous, not that what Mozilla is currently doing is correct.

Firefox is a browser, not an adblocker. Why would they make their own adblocker when there are already independent adblockers that are very good? I would suggest Firefox just come pre-installed with uBlock Origin

Dark Reader browser extension or just a userstyle. For me, Dark Reader works very well for sourcehut.

Something funded by the government but ran by a public org would be ideal.

“the government” which government?

I don’t want software beholden to any state interests. I see donationware as the way to go; or if donations can’t sustain server costs, donations for sustaining development, and then a public flagship instance which people can pay to use, or self-host for their own server costs.

Ah, but mistakes could detract from disinformation if it’s mistakenly correct!

Personally I’m fine with 8as’ specs and don’t need any of the extra features of the Pixel 8 so I’d prefer to save the money and get an 8a. Plus 8as are supported for longer. Nothing wrong with getting an 8 instead if that’s what you want though

A contactless card barely takes up any space. It’s not particularly easier to lose either. I’ve never lost my card; I just keep it in my wallet, in my pocket, just like my phone is in my pocket.

Enjoy! For future reference I’d recommend just getting the latest Pixel as you’ll get the longest software support. E.g. a Pixel 8a is supported till May 2031, which is plenty of time to get a lot of usage out of your phone.

Wonder if someone could make a browser add-on that replaces the black screen with something else. Like plays a short song or something.

You may think Linux users are annoying but to be fair Microsoft is frankly begging for the “btw you should use linux” comments with every new windows update

Me when I don’t use Chrome, I don’t use Windows, and I don’t use browser password saving either

I would rather lose my passwords than have my password database be accessed by someone else. Most websites have a “forgot password” function, and for passwords that don’t have that (e.g. to decrypt my hard drive or log into my computer) I’ve memorised the passphrase and always type it manually anyway. And for passwords where neither applies, it’s probably not a huge loss anyway if I’ve not prepared for the possibility of losing my password db for that particular password.
