Don’t ever tell them about that one quest in BOTW

Unironically, Ecosia has been working on a browser that’s currently in beta with a built in adblocker. Works really well!

my bad, I always assume not just because we’re on the topic of privacy but because of how Ecosia advertises itself as a privacy friendly alternative on their front page when it isn’t that at all that, much like the difference between apple.com/privacy and apple.com/legal/privacy

Your search query, IP address and iirc fingerprint gets shown to Bing everytime you make a search, so it’s not private at all

For anyone that wants it, here’s a local copy of this page with all the replies included: https://mega.nz/file/2IdilIiI#cprrG2E58S1Wg2kp5YNEjfLMBh1hPHiQzuWMpsXI3dk

He’s rightfully displaying his dominance

The article could have easily been just as absurd if it was about how people didn’t get the alert because the alerts were moved to a mastodon instance and people are upset because they don’t want to have to go through the trouble of picking a server. heh.

You can view mastodon posts without being forced to make an account. This use to be the case with Twitter before it was turned into X.

they should at the very least be as accessible as possible for people who help.

They’ve been doing this for as long as I can remember, the link in the amber alert led to a Twitter post that anyone could view. It wasn’t until musk recently making it so you have to make an account in order to see posts which makes me surprised this hasn’t been brought up sooner

Still had cool experiences. I think now a days you can use apps to turn your phone into a makeshift oculus quest and stream to your PC using Steam VR, so somewhat useful I think

Edit: it was a headset where you put your phone inside

Aw man those things were so cool! My dad actually got one of those for me as a gift when I was way younger, I forget for which occasion. Didn’t use it much tho cause later my grandma found out about it and stole it, throwing it away in the garbage. She doesn’t hate me or anything, she was just scared I’d get brain cancer and since nobody in the family ever believes her because of that crap she reads on facebook, that was her way of protecting me. Oh well.

Now, if Google loses, Firefox will likely head of enshitification.

The whole thing is FOSS. if the company goes over the community can still maintain it if they wish to

sadly for me money is that tight right now, so if I can donate via ad revenue I definitely would (or better yet donating my time instead)

I’d seriously love to use Ecosia but that stops me from doing so

because no one wants to track me.

I get you’re just joking here but I would like to point out that this is a flawed way of thinking. Someone will spite you for whatever reason they can think of and will try to ruin your life whether its because of your political beliefs or just because of who you are as a person, cause sadly thats the internet right now

I think you just perfectly described Roblox

Have you seen Discord’s UI?

Not sure if this will help, but find my device on F-Droid is awesome. You can use generic SMS and send “fmd locate” or you can use third party apps such as signal. This makes it so it’ll only trigger whenever you receive that text message rather it running 24/7

It allows you to setup a trusted set of contacts who can then send you a text message “fmd locate”, and it’ll reply with an openstreetmaps link showing where you are. It’s not real time tho

And you can disable it simply by turning off your location

When I was 13 and still watching LTT I had an extremely old dell optiplex with a 3rd or 4th gen i7 that was really starting to slow down on Windows; I just thought it was old hardware (partially true) but then LTT released a video about Pop_OS and was like “oo what’s Linux” and just deleted Windows and installed it. Never looked back! Everything was super snappy and I was really shocked.
