youre right, but the lines get blurry. i wouldnt be a bit surprised if facebook literally is blocking the content. just wild speculation ofc.

this is such an insidious way to stop people from using ad blockers. It’s not like facebook isn’t deliberately making sure these false positives happen.

absurd take

ah yes, one should expect people to just magically find your blog. Not trusting the site is your choice, but calling out honest, transparent self promotion is ridiculous. The alternative is lying and pretending to be somone else, that’s whats actually gross.

temu is a blatant scam even without the spyware. its sad so many people fall for it just so they can buy more cheap garbage.

you might be able to fix webpages telling you you’re outdated by changing your useragent string.

linux is often called a unix but it is only unix-like. It’s not officially unix cerrified the way macos, hp-ux, and others are.

in my opinion you shouldn’t guage quality of life by how advanced the devices we have are. i dont feel like having a high-tech smartphone provides me much happiness, it’s just a necessity for participating in modern society.

Good on you for donating to kde and gnome! In case you don’t know, there is an option in discord settings to quit whenever the window is closed.

my impression is that grapheneos is only private and secure compared to regular android. likewise, any linux distro is going to be secure and private when compared to windows.

sounds like something is going seriously wrong, you should never really be having to deal with this stuff (ive been using arch and the AUR for several years and never have). Im not sure it its a steam deck thing or what. Only thing I can say is make sure to always run sudo pacman -Syu before you install a new package.

this must be one of those false facts

Starting with a blank slate is so refreshing. It takes time to build everything up from scratch and I understand that you can get a great experience out of the box with other distros, but I love the simplicity of not having any bullshit I didn’t install myself.
