Because all they're growing up with is dumbed down corporate black boxes of tech devices, along with a narrative that it's wrong and evil to build, fix, copy, and be curious

Do not use Kiwi Browser. It's based on an extremely out of date version of chromium and therefore very vulnerable.

I wonder if it's an SD card failure.

Mine was up for 200 days or so, basically untouched, before I upgraded the hardware.

Sure enough, the .zip TLD is just being used for malicious activity

There are far more robust methods of fingerprinting to spy on users anyway (adding up all the details of screen size, available fonts, language, os, etc, etc), so I don't think removing the user agent would have much impact in reducing fingerprinting alone. It's also useful as a quick and simple way to check the type of device, os, or browser the user is on and serve the correct content (download link for one's OS) or block troublesome clients (broken bots)

Meta joining the fediverse is like Raytheon joining anti-war protests. They are not there for sincere participation.

Doesn't matter that much. Personally I'd just go with virtualbox because it's open source.

Why the fuck are ads even profitable? Seriously? Who actually sees an ad and thinks "I'm going to buy this product"? When I see an ad I think "fuck you" and I'm less likely to buy their product.

Please do not. Although I don't personally want to see lolicon stuff, many of the servers willing to host it have communities I want to interact with. For instance, burggit.moe is where the touhou communities went and is otherwise a pretty nice instance aside from loli communities.

It is content which, while understandably offensive to some, harms nobody. All fictional porn, no matter how deviant it is, is ultimately more ethical than real porn can be.

It should be up to users to block or hide instances with content they don't wish to see, and defederation should be reserved for communities that consistently cause interference, not for communities that simply have content which one disagrees with.

They can block other ads, but they can't block YouTube ads since YouTube ads come from the same domains as the videos.

Fmhy. For one thing, most of my reddit usage was related to Linux, datahoarding, self hosting, and torrenting. So coming here is the natural choice. The great thing about us pirates is that we aren't hated by very many people (and therefore aren't banned by the big instances), aren't generally extremists, and yet strongly support free speech. In fact, one of the only major instances to allow nsfw content at all and to not defederate a whole bunch of instances for no apparent reason
