I’m just this guy, you know. Except on Lemmy.
It’s open source and can be self-hosted. I use something similar called Whoogle that I run in a local Docker container. Strips ads, javascript, tracking, and amp links
If the connector hadn’t changed I probably would have gotten it repaired. But since there’s not aftermarket port swaps I figured I should bite the bullet.
Maybe by 2032 I’ll be ready for a new one again.
Apparently I missed its release date entirely, which I blame on Amazon adding commercials because I haven’t used it in months.
The port on my old phone broke entirely but it still had wireless charging so I got three more years out of it. Then the display failed and since phones have switched to USB C I figured it was time to upgrade
The worst part was that it just showed a black window, with no controls or indication of what was wrong. Thankfully this sort of thing happens so often my first reaction is to turn off my pihole for a few minutes.
Leela was my first in-game crush
Now that shitty behavior is going to come back.
Of course not. Streaming sites are far too lazy for that. They’ll just cram the commercial into the middle of the show with no regard for the story. It’s the only way they’ll be able to put ads in the middle of shows not made to have ads.
There’s still one last Grand Tour episode coming out
Get an RF jammer and block your neighbors’ wifi
If Biden turns the Oval Office into a grow room does that make it an official act?
You think you’re old? I was playing Bungie games when they were only on Mac.
I’m pretty sure my divorce lawyer’s document management system is something that’s worth using even if I have to use chrome and disable ad blocking.
As someone with technical knowledge sometimes I get locked out of things because I block ads or refuse Javascript. For instance, I had to turn off my pihole so I could sign into my Microsoft account to play Minecraft. Or the times I encounter a website that breaks on Firefox.
I’m thinking about fruit trees and bushes specifically. If you’ve ever gone apple picking you see how many apples are on the ground. Domesticated fruit trees are bred and grafted to be highly prolific, and you’ll have a lot more fruit dropped than you’d think.
Plus you’ll have animals going into the trees to eat the fruit. Commercial berry farmers have to cover their bushes and trees with nets to prevent birds from picking them clean. (And then producing very colorful art on outdoor surfaces.)
I’m not saying it’s a bad idea, but I don’t think people have entirely thought it through.
Plus having rotting fruit laying around will encourage pests. Maybe put these into specific areas rather than just scattering them around.
Reminds me of the (probably apocryphal) story about the Ghurkas. They were told they’d be jumping behind Japanese lines, and they were a little apprehensive because they didn’t think the ground would be soft enough. But when they were told they’d have parachutes they felt better.
I’ll just leave this here along with it
“The two that responded said they couldn’t do it,” she said, adding, “So it’s not like I’m not trying.”
I bet the ones who didn’t respond showed their colleagues the hilarious joke email they just got.
That depends on how much everything else is automated by then
