I must.

Nothing ever happens rule

I mean, you can be forced to learn about the bible, even its contents, as part of a literature or history class in school.

But I’m gonna go out on a limb and say that probably wasn’t the purpose of what you were put through.

Also to add to what you said, switch away from (Google) Chrome everyone!!

Imagine this message, but on every website, and it literally cannot be prevented, as the browser itself will sooner than later just straight up tell the sites "yo, your content has been modified, maybe block the user from viewing", snitching on you.

Come to think of it now, I wonder if this will affect poorly implemented sites using that feature to accidentally (or intentionally…) disable dark mode/reader extensions.

And then, due to Chrome's market share, if left unchanged, web developers/companies will at some point just not bother anymore. Imagine "this works best in Google Chrome, download now" you see for some web apps today, but even with the most basic text based site that can't prevent you from using your Adblocker in e.g. Firefox or Safari.

Patiently waiting on Asahi Linux to get more and more features done – the stuff they’ve achieved to reverse-engineer so far already is frankly incredible.

The hardware is quite nice, after all…

Data collection.

What they do with that data? Nobody outside MS will ever know…

I haven’t followed their activities re/ beginning to also use Ryzen chips (or at all, to be honest) recently, but I am very glad they seem to be doing well & able to produce/ship another compelling product!

Their core ideas have sounded compelling to me from the start.

WebKit browser, on iOS, with (most) Firefox and Chrome extensions possible.

Y’all are welcome :D (also @AllYourSmurf)

Yep. One reason might be that FB just took a biiiig blow on their entire business model from the highest court in the EU (which came in front of court after an action by in turn the biggest sub-market (Germany)'s anti-trust watchdog bureau got active against them):

Not really. I mean, what did you expect from a company that's responsible for manipulation of two major, major elections (one in the US and UK each) as well as a genocide in SEA?

And that's just what's known publicly.

I really miss a somewhat niche forum about a video game I’m playing… but I also don’t find the time to put in the effort of re-creating and moderating it myself here again.

The difference with wireless listening vs. charging is that the former doesn’t need close to 2x the power of the cable-bound method and doesn’t destroy the phone’s battery in the process, unlike the latter

If you have macOS* (Edit: read on, their search engine is cross-platform, my bad duh), they have a browser built on top of the Safari technology (WebKit), but actually even more performant than it, with the extremely, extremely neat feature that they ported most Firefox and Chromium Extension APIs on top of that WebKit tech, meaning you get basically all of the world’s extensions available to you – even Safari ones!

Other than Orion (name of that browser), Kagi is also offering a paid search engine which I have to admit I still haven’t tried out, whoops… I should really get around to doing that, but the thing is, I use duckduckgo, my current primary search engine, only somewhat rarely…

*Supposedly also coming to other platforms sometime in the future. I’m rooting for them!! And planning to buy the Orion+ upgrade, too. They deserve it… I really hope their financing is somewhat stable and secured.

Hottest summer so far – coldest (approximately) for the rest of our lives…

Spotify doesn't allow access to the info for free because it makes it too easy to leave. None of the streaming services do. There are services with access to the info used for switching to other services that you can pay for.

Another EU win. I have literally never seen a paid service for that being advertised. All basic data export should be able to be done for free, and in an interchangeable format between the different services too!
