I had an argument some time ago with another person about this. People seem obsessed with the news. My view is, news are intentionally made stressing. If you being informed of something doesn't change its outcome in any meaningful way

Putin has basically lied to his people about what is going on with Ukraine. But most people know what's really happening and, more importantly, the higher ups know. Putin won't be able to launch a nuclear attack because nobody wou

Putin is just a Russian Trump, which is kind of ironic.

The good thing of Usenet, apart from the speed, is that you are downloading only, not sharing, and in some jurisdictions that matters. Anyway, most free Usenet providers place limits on how much and what you can download. I use Eweka, which

I use Musi with YouTube. With it, I can play videos in the background, and there are no ads in the video. There are in the app itself, but pihole takes care of that. I also use Hyperweb, so all YouTube links in safari open in Musi automatic

This neopuritanism is awful. I thought we already left it behind, but looks like it's returning full force.

Oh, hello twin brother! I did exactly that. But the first part was for a company. How times have changed eh? The bulletproof aura of qmail and the ugliness of squirrelmail. Memories...

Yes, I found it a few weeks ago. It changes how safari works and improves it quite a lot. I can block elements, and cookies in a site, define custom JavaScript or css, change the default search engine with one in a list o define a new one,

> So here's a challenge, try adding a search engine not on that list. Well, you can. I just tried it and works. Granted, you need a third party app, but it's doable.

Yes, it does. It has automatic snapshots, up to ten. Google doesn't have that, if I delete a file from the trash is gone forever.

That's $5 per TB. In Hetzner I can rent a 5TB storage box for $11.32, that's $2.27 per TB.

No, the gtube string (GTUBE-STANDARD-ANTI-UBE-TEST-EMAIL) is a special string made for testing anti spam systems (there is another for antivirus systems). That's the only part of the block of text that is going to work 100%. The rest l

Hah, you don't even need to do a search now. In my iPhone, as soon as go to google, two thirds of the screen are covered by obnoxious google ads about their crapware "google app". Guess nobody wants it on iOS and they are goi

That distinction is way outdated because a developer is not inherently more savvy than an end user. You could have a web developer who has no idea about how a smartphone works internally.

Well, my user experience is my problem. Other people dictating how should I experience my devices is hugely condescending.

Well, that's their problem. They must delete the data or face legal consequences. That should act as a deterrent to future "too smart for their own good" ad people.
