Same. I’ve come to terms using it in browser mode on Edge, same for Outlook. The desktop applications are so horrific, I uninstalled both. Half the time they wouldn’t work or force log me out.

Now I literally have a standalone screen that’s showing nothing but Edge with those two tabs on, and all my productive environment is on a nice large screen where I don’t have to see the crap.

It’s ok, I’m using the free tier and regularly delete and set up new addresses. Works for the really spammy stuff.

I also good a paid account with addy.io where I added one of my domains, that’s something I use for more legit services where I want more control about the username, so I can always use something like their.domain.tld@my.domain.tld and never have to worry about finding obscure usernames. And if I stop using a certain service, I can just switch off the alias and never bother about retention crap.

So let me get this straight: Google killed the amazing feature of google translate that allowed it to translate stuff in other apps for being “intrusive” since it requires the “draw over other apps” permission, but now having some fucking AI rummage throughout the device is fine and dandy?

For life is tricky considering “end of life” products will typically still work reasonably well for decades after being obsolete, but might be susceptible to future exploits that end up unpatched, and you really don’t want to become part of a botnet.

With that said, I’ve had an Asus RT-AX88U for over 6 years now, it’s receiving regular updates, and there’s a third party firmware (Merlin) that adds some features and keeps being upgraded as well.

My house is 20m square, but I have a shed outside with some gardening automation going on, so overall it stretches 34m from router to last device. I have two Asus Zenwifi AX mini mesh-nodes, one upstairs and one in the rear end of the house (about 18m from the router and 14m from the last device), and I don’t have any connectivity issues.

Overall there are 22 devices permanently connected, plus another 4-6 randomly (two laptops, 2 phones, plus visitors).

Never had an unscheduled reboot, though I do install new firmware every 2 months which takes the network down for about 5 min.

Liberals are genocide apologists?!

Same here, in my productive browser (Fennc on mobile, stock Firefox on desktop) WebRTC is blocked. I keep a chrome variant around in case anything truly doesn’t work (Cromite on mobile, Edge on Windows, since I have to use some MS applications for work that I don’t care to install on my system).

I rotate VPN servers, not services though.

As if they’d impose maximum penalties, no matter how deserved. But hey, fingers crossed!

And imho the whole issue can be avoided by using mobile websites and/or alternative app front-ends for meta services, if you can’t steer clear of them altogether.

And blocking apps from using background data should seal the deal.

She already said that she’d do just that. Let’s see how fast they’ll let her leave next time. If at all.

No. With moderate exercise and checking for correct sitting postures, you shouldn’t ever have back pain. I’m in my 40s and only feel a bit tight when I overdid my exercise routine.

The developers of Lemmy also run lemmygrad.ml and lemmy.ml, the former being a hardcore communist anti-everything delusional conspiracy crapshoot of a platform, the latter a tiny bit more relaxed, but moderated/administered by a bunch of dicks that are essentially also tankies (= hardcore leftists) and Russia fans/apologists.

They (the devs) recently asked for funding to support their work, and in doing so, disclosed that part of the funding would be used to run those two instances, thus giving users no alternative to support without cross-financing extremism.

Piefed is developed independently and has none of those links to moronic ideologies.

Piefed as a platform uses the same underlying protocol as lemmy, mastodon, etc. (Activity Hub), so users can seamlessly interact with one another.

There’s one near my house, and it has no mute button whatsoever. No buttons at all, in fact. You tap your card to the reader, then lift the pump of whichever variety you need, and that moment the ads start. With sound on full blast as well.

I’ve left a negative google review and make sure to update it monthly so that it stays on top, and drive to another station quite a bit further off just to avoid this crapshoot.

Oh so it’s ok to selectively shoot journalists if you don’t agree with their ideology? I bet the other cop didn’t agree with that journalist’s. Case closed, following your logic.

Right, thanks!

Never heard of that thing, but apparently it was Apple exclusives? Deserved death then.

I’m hoping ladybug will be operational for mainstream use, before the enshittification of Firefox progresses too far.

Define “loosely”. You really think there’s more than maybe 3 or 4 states that’d have a chance to sustain themselves on their own? And if a bunch of states would stick together against the others, you’ve got civil war reloaded. With drones, nukes, and blackhawks. Fun times.

I hate Google’s material design with a passion. Everything looks exactly the same, and many buttons and other touch elements are indistinguishable from highlights and general design elements.

This article is a thinly veiled ad paired with fearmongering to get gullible users to buy the shit phones they sell (or not, some people have been on “waitlists” for 5+ years after providing a full payment).

Granted, their phones are fully open, but have next to no apps.

Personally I’ll stick with Android 12, rooted, and see what the future brings.

To use a neti pot you use a saline solution. If you don’t trust the water you got at home (boiled first, naturally, both to sterilize and allow for easier dissolution of the salt), you can just buy a bag of NaCl solution in any pharmacy instead.

Just put the sealed bag into a pot of warm water first to bring it up to room temperature or slightly above. Flushing your sinuses with cold water ain’t fun.

Youtube has ads? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Only works on Pixels, and I’d rather not give Google any money.
