All those tabs open with telemetry tracking scripts and cookies that are designed to de-anonymize you. Those persons would be completely identified. I wonder how much spam they get a day.

Check Bleeping Computer. They’ve been smashing many Windows.

Chiming in from a USA user. Their webmail and suite run slow in the USA. Once it loads the page initially though, it uses localstorage.

However, back when I used them less than a year ago, they had random periods where the websuite did not load.

Finally, they have a really bad 2fa implementation that is not documented and I had to search Reddit to figure out how to log in.

I also did not come here for politics.

I came here as an alternative to reddit.

What I did to fix it was to find similar Lemmy communities to those subreddits. I also set up filtering to block out key words, names, etc.

It makes it a lot more bearable.

One thing I’ve noticed, Lemmy and Reddit are run in a large part by content bots when it comes to non-politics. There are some exceptions. I recommend you make peace with the bots and appreciate the content (all the while contributing content yourself of course).

I read about that recently as well. There is a problem though. Your phone can turn your voice into text instantly. It’s a feature built in to your keyboard. They could turn the audio into text and then transmit the text only. Saves much data that way.

Might not be artificial, but it doesn’t look natural in sweetener form:

The process of extracting stevia -

Dried stevia leaves are subjected to purified water first. Then followed by a precipitation process with ferric chloride and calcium hydroxide to remove non-soluble plant materials & other impurities and follow filtration.

Then the leaf extract goes through an adsorption resin, which is used to trap the steviol glycosides of the leaf extract.

Afterward, wash the resin with ethanol to release steviol glycosides and decolorize the resulting solution with activated carbon to remove the colors in leaves, and then concentrated by evaporation.

Again, go through the process of decolorization, filtration and spray-drying. The spray-dried product is then combined with similarly processed additional extracts, dissolved in ethanol and/or methanol, crystallized and filtered. Finally, after further processes of crystallization, filtered and spray-dried to obtain pure stevioside.

Ah I misunderstood.

Maybe, I don’t know if it was on purpose. But the red lines are the red-fade-to-pink effect of the progress bar I believe, and I have not found a need for such a feature, so they might be using this feature as an excuse to claim the need of canvas.

Tidal doesn’t respect disabling explicit content, and it also dropped crossfading.

As buggy as it is sometimes, Deezer is where I’m at.

You aren’t supposed to find the element. Just copy the command into your filters and hit apply.

You can keep canvas blocked on YouTube. To stop the red lines, do this:

Click uBlock Origin icon (top right of the browser, small red shield).

Click the gears icon (“Open the dashboard”).

Click “My filters” tab. Make sure “Enable my custom filters” is checked.

Add the following string to the list of filters:

www.youtube.com##.ytp-gradient-bottom

Click “Apply changes”.

Reload your youtube video page.

Microsoft already does this with Edge. Google has advertising ID. Similar in principle.

The same can be said about the search results. For search results, you have to use your brain to determine what is correct and what is not. Now imagine for a moment if you were to use those same brain cells to determine if the AI needs a check.

AI is just another way to process the search results, that happens to give you the correct answer up front, most of the time. If you go blindly trust it, that’s on you.

That looks nice, but apps that use GSF for push won’t use that. Or am I missing something on their website?

I had recently installed Grapheneos on my pixel, with a goal is determining what was responsible for all the senseless Google domains that a pixel normally contacts.

To my surprise disabling Network for the Google Services Framework and Play Services killed all of the nonsense. The only downside was that GSF has the push mechanism in it also, that many apps use for push notifications.

If only there were an alternate for push notifications that all apps would use.

Anyway, Grapheneos runs way cooler than Google’s Malware version.

I stopped reading after Brave, as you chose to derail your product reviews to meddle in someone’s personal beliefs. Those two things have no correlation.

Look at that. An email address that will be instantly added to every spammers list. And they know the owner has money too.

Did KDE get a recent makeover? Last I saw, the window decoration still defaults to half rounded and half square. Devs can’t decide which one they like.

I personally observe with my own eyes many many times where Android turns off Adguard’s VPN for a split second when doing various Google things like receiving messages in Google Messages.

I haven’t been able to pinpoint it but my observation is that the disconnect/reconnect happens when a connection is trying to be made (ex. RCS message incoming), and I suspect Android is dropping the VPN to make its own connection. Sounds paranoid, but I’ve been carefully watching it happen for a long while.
