Doing a pure EU PDS is great; hopefully they do a Webview too, so that moderation and trust and safety aren’t at the behest of US Bsky.

If media companies make it impossible to buy and own content, then pirating is not unethical.

Debian; comes on Linux or on a tiny blue pill.

I think I was about 16 1/2? We did night time (?) Drivers Ed classes in my high school with my geography or history teacher (he was awesome) and then we had road experience with a local drivers ed instructor.

I remember when it came time to do the road test, he actually took us through the actual course first so we were prepared and then during the actual test I got “warned” about being a little too far into the road turning at an intersection to go back to the RMV but the instructor I had backed me up because I had to go due to the other person turning the other way so I could see around him.

Honestly, nothing wrong with not having a license. I hate driving, to be honest. If you can get places without cars (or at least without driving your own, more power!)

I don’t think they’re forks or anything; they’re difference software’s but they interact with each other through ActivityPub, so Piefed can see Lemmy communities and Lemmy can see Piefed communities (it’s also what lets you see Lemmy/Piefed posts in Mastodon and reply with your Mastodon account).

Oh sorry about that! I wonder if it’s a Piefed vs Lemmy thing. Thanks for letting me know! I’ll edit the original post to put it in the body too.

God I wish they could get rid of web extensions and go back to XUL.

Should be part of the post; I made it as a link post but it’s here: https://mozillafoundation.tfaforms.net/201

Depends on what type of incident; if it’s something like noise in the hall or smoking, my apartment management handles it and lets people know (assuming it’s warning territory).

I’d imagine for anything else, it’s a matter of not wanting to endanger people through escalation of non authority figures. I think you would have to have just cause to evict people, so having an official investigation would be imperitive.

So it’s less a Siri upgrade and more just a getting rid of Siri and putting in Gemini slop.

Weird how many billionaires are just openly pro paedophia.

Good news; I found an outfit with pockets.

Bad news; it’s a romper.

Wait’ll you find out that over half the states in the US have age gating laws on the internet.

Don’t praise Cloudflare or Italy; both are part of the problem.

Lawnchair Nightly; it’s not as good as Nova, yet, but it’s getting there.

Donating to your local affiliate is good but I also recommend, if you can, to donate to other smaller affiliates too - especially the community public radio stations and ones not as focused on the news site of things.

Personally PBS, Dropout, Beacon, and Democracy Now are the only streaming services I pay for and don’t pirate.

Adguard won’t work but uBlock Origin on Librewolf or Firefox works with at least the EasyList subscription (possibly Peter Lowe’s too). You can also use either the built in tracker in Vivaldi (just go to Settings > Privacy and Security > Manage Sources) and enable EasyList/disable the Allow ads from our partners).

Vivaldi also supports MV2 uBlock Origin for now; it will say it’s not supported but Vivaldi is fighting the removal of MV2).

I’ve had a good mix of filters and haven’t gotten the adblock warning for Youtube (knock on wood). It’s been a while since configuring but I think enabling Disable pre-fetching (to prevent any connection for blocked network requests and I’m an advanced user will help out.

I have all the uBlock Filters, EasyList, AdGuard, AdGuard/uBO – URL Tracking Protection, Block Outsider Intrusion into LAN, Online Malicious URL Blocklist, Phishing URL Blocklist

Happily.

This reminded me to donate to Wikipedia.

You could always just install Linux Mint and then install the Mint XP theme. No Microsoft Account required.
