I donate to my instance.

If you are getting something for free, you are generally the product, not the consumer.

Crap like this is why I set mine to about:blank

300K is nothing but a taste, for normal usage. I’ve been using NextDNS on my home network for a few years. I average 1.2 million queries/month. And that’s with cache boost (forced minimum TTL) enabled.

$20/year is worth every penny. The amount of time you save in blocking all the ads and surveillance marketing services is worth 10x that.

Fro recurring ones, the surgery is followed up with an acid treatment that kills part of the nail bed, so the nail stops growing so wide. I have had it done on both big toes, on both sides. Haven’t had any issues in over 15 years.

I’m so happy with Voyager being a really good replacement for Apollo. If you use it, donate to the dev. Building apps this good, solo, is hard.

Signal is E2EE. While it does use notifications, there is no meaningful unencrypted content in them. The content of the notification you see is decrypted on-device.

Samsung’s board of directors. Of which half are probably using iPhones.

Don’t worry, that’s all written by defense contractors anyways, so they’ll sell it to the US, and to others the US allows, all closed source. The source won’t even be open to the US government, either, as that’d harm the bottom line of the contractor (support & maintenance contracts for that closed-source software).

Bold of you to assume your request to delete actually does that. I guess, unless you are protected by GDPR.

I’d still want the browser to at least be able to do it as a default, not at the whim of specific sites.

I build call centers.

When we design the call flows, those are the first tings we disable. You can tell a company at least slightly cares about their customer base if they actually do allow you to escalate to a human without a ton of effort. Most don’t, and want to shove “AI” in front of everything, so they can hire even less people in low-cost markets. Offshoring wasn’t cheap enough for these leeches companies, now they want AI to replace those folks making starvation wages to get yelled at all day.

And sometimes, these solutions work well. Most of the time, they work just well enough to not have people quitting their service in frustration.

They can, but this wouldn’t be a website thing, it’d be the whole browser. Not a bad thin, IMO, Recall is cancer that no one but Microsoft board members & investors are asking for.

I predict privacy-preserving browsers like Librewolf, Waterfox, etc. potentially deploying the same “DRM for a good cause” approach Signal is using.

I read that it’s “opt out” not “opt in”.

Nice, wholesale illegal wire tapping. It’s OK, it’s legal because it’s AI and Google is totally not storing any recordings. They say this is all on-device, but that’s an “oops” or equivalent from them hoovering up recordings of every phone call you use one of their surveillance endpoints phones on.

This is specific to the GH REST API I think, not operations like doing a git clone to copy a repo to local machine, etc.

They make you sign in to use search, on code anyways.

There are open source alternatives? Do they handle Plex/Infuse integration? Trakt’s obsessive march toward enshitification has been pretty predictable, but maybe this price hike will be the last straw.

The “record” is a SMS verification code. All that will tell the government is that you registered for Signal, nothing else.
