Teknikal

Any one else watch the Linux tech tips video (degooglefying) where he tried to claim blocking ads was Piracy.

That pissed me off because blocking ads is honestly just protecting yourself against viruses which appear even on ads on Google etc.

Also who am I depriving of their property by blocking ads, F you linus.

Just tried this myself and so far so good.

It's the update, I was using connect and then ran play updates first I had crashing when clicking things like front page and now I have the same blank as the screenshot here.

I'm actually typing this on eternity because I kinda have to.

Edit: Resetting the apps storage/cache appears to have worked.

Yeah mine just updated and hitting inbox does send me to my phones launcher now.

Actually it seems completely broken hitting front page or others also seems to crash can confirm it was working well for me before Google updated it.

How else would you know the colour panties Deborah is wearing today.

I've used Librewolf since the first time Google announced these kinda plans I'm thinking it must be at least 3 years now.

Theres tons of options Librewolf is overkill to be honest Firefox would be fine.

Wow. I bet their just trying to drag the case out until the guy can't afford it. If something like this was successful none of us stand a chance against any company legally anymore.

Yeah the dev seems to jump straight to any issues even now, seems like a great guy to me he could easily charge for such a polished app and as long as the greed wasn't mad I'd pay it.

I've got some serious qualifications in electronics, it sucks I love in a tiny apartment and don't have the equipment I need to fix things. Had my main monitor die a few days ago and I'm sure it's just a capacitor or something dumb, I've been out of work now about a year and everything I rely on seems to be dying lately.

Really wish I had the space and money to have a decent solder station, multimeter etc.

Also I'm not asking for any handouts or anything like that just cursing my own stupidity for never embracing a hobby that would definetly have benifited me.

How has nobody said Connect yet, I tried most of the other clients people mentioned and settled on connect.

This is after using Sync Pro for years on Reddit the pricing of the lemmy version just put me right off to the point I'll admit I haven't even tried it but then again I'm not interested in anything that puts ads on an adless service and I also will never try it as long as this is the case.

Connect is free and the developer is great

I'm Suprised flip board still exists to be honest I always found the a Google feed kinda did the same thing better.

It describes removing the hard drive in the article and patching it, doesn't sound like much of a real exploit to me. Yeah you probably shouldn't be able to patch it but isn't getting your hands on the physical hard disk much more of a problem.
