Had a family member complaining that they couldn’t access “the internet” and found that they only clicked ads on google searches…

(boggle)🧠

Yeah, I’m using Vivaldi too and getting concerned about UBO’s lifespan…

I also have pfBlockerNG running in my firewall, which blocks a load too, but not looking forwards to the future…

Digital Autonomy with RISC-V in Europe

They really tried hard to make an acronym fit…

A bit like SHIELD

We had a nice homemade Thai curry here (and no, I don’t live on Thailand)

Just to chip in, whilst I agree that Fairphone is not a truely interchangable modular phone, it does have the ability for some modules to be replaced.

The Fairphone 3 even had the ability to upgrade with better ones to create the 3+

I don’t think the newer models are doing that though, which is a shame

I know this is a little OT, but I repaired a dead Karcher pressure washer this weekend… a little effort and I’m much more likely to purchase / recommend them in the future.

If the manufacturer’s grip is too tight, I’m going elsewhere - and I’ll be more loyal to them

Just to add to this, the price doesn’t highlight the Total Cost of Ownership well…

My Fairphone 3+ has been getting updates for years and I also bought a replacement battery (at the same time I bought the phone) to ensure that it lasts for many more years to come.

And I’m SIM-Only, so not paying longterm to a phone company

Cost/Lifetime is probably lower than a mainstream phone (I’ll actually do the calculation one day)

But I notice that they don’t say they’ll ban everyone from Feddit…?

So, maybe there’s some hope for them yet…

I’ve only been in a Tesla with an Uber driver, so not paid attention to it… but no indicator or wiper control?

Jeez.

I’ve had a couple of cars with automatic wipers and they’re not that great… Having no controls would do my head in

Floorp?

No User Tracking

We don’t collect personal information from users. We don’t track users. We don’t sell user data. We have no affiliation with any advertising companies.

AFAIK there’s no way to format an underline in markdown.

Anyone know of a workaround?

Obligatory Logseq vote

Search around for “death file” - you’ll be surprised how many things people need to write down over & above their will, and the next generation might just search for exactly this

Yeah, I’ll +1 Vivaldi - great tool with (mostly) useful features

Not sure how it will do with the Chrome / Chromium v3 addon API thingie - just not looked into that at all. Hope it’s not relevant

Didn’t even know it was a thing, thanks for sharing

Harsh (to yourself), but fair

Without repeating my other comment. This approach saved my life many times

Until you block ICMP one day and then wonder why the server keeps rebooting…

(Been there. Done it)

This.

Do it. This saved my life on more than one occasion.

You’ll think “nah, it’ll be fine” and then at 11pm when your brain’s fried on vending machine coffee you’ll be glad that you did it… 3 times over…
