Yeah, we have this unwritten rule in my friend group to never send links to any videos no matter where they’re from. You download the video and send the file

Youtube search results have been garbage for a while now :(

Is NextDNS really a good privacy tool? I use it myself because it’s convenient, but I always assumed that they would collect data about me since it’s a free service

As a junior dev, who mainly works with C#, wf improvements are they talking about? I always thought that C++ is way better for when performance is important, like in emulation. At my company, the seniors keep talking about how we should move away form .NET to C++.

They’ve recently expanded the list by a lot. I was able to find every extension that I use on desktop

Jesse, what the fuck are you talking about

I’ve donated to Signal and the web archive

For now

Hasn’t changed much since

Not an expert, but I assume Bottles would be a good idea. It allows you to create separate wine prefixes for each app so if any app is malicious, it shouldn’t affect any other one.

Is this service paid? If not, how are they making any money? All I can think of is a) selling users data (and lying) b) selling spots in search results, which means they’ll be overrun with malicious links or other useless garbage. I don’t believe they’re just hosting a search engine out of the kindness of their hearts (:

I also recently discovered mpv --no-video [url]. Useful for when I just want to listen to a podcast or something. Sadly, I can’t get it to work with Spotify

I’m so used to navigating in Eternity at this point that all other apps seem clunky and unintuitive

You could use the uMatrix extension to control not only cookies, but everything else (like scripts, css, images) by subdomain. Inb4 someone says it’s outdated. It works perfectly fine.

There’s this stupid theory, that men who “lean in” to the womans side are beta. People who believe this theory post edited pictures of famous couples with an added green line to show how the man is leaning in or show how a man is leaning out to explain that he’s an alpha. Obviously, this is complete BS.

I don’t have an answer to your question, but I just wanted to say, I appreciate you still calling them Facebook and not Meta.

But isn’t randomization supposed to give you a different unique fingerprint each time? So yes, you would be unique and easily tracked but only until your fingerprint changes

Yes, it would.

It doesn’t need to be maintained if it still works on the latest update of the browser. Also, uBlock is not a full replacement, if there will be a full replacement that is maintained, I’ll gladly switch

XMPP sounds like a good idea, however, switching to Signal and convincing the 3 contacts I have there to switch as well wasn’t very easy and I don’t think I could pull it off again in the near future.
