On mobile this page is sadly hardly anything but usable. I would have loved to play it but is a real drag.

From a perspective of a normal user? Awful. Now suddenly you have to pay to TWEET? I don't believe people will take this lightly, especially with the shit X pulled recently.

From a perspective of a botter? Probably also awful, but 1$ per year is not something a person in possession of a huge botnet couldn't afford to pay. Especially if X will relax in the comfort of this subscription and ban less accounts. That would make 1$ p/y really rather cheap when you also account for basic computing costs.

I really liked Bandcamp, it was one of the easiest and most direct ways i could buy my music FROM the artists themselves. I sometimes would sit hours at my desk, listening to previews and buying what i found interesting enough. Certainly improved my taste.

Wonder what happens when this change rolls out globally...

I think it is a bad move for Android interoperability. Samsung has its own AirDrop. Oppo has its own AirDrop. I don't know about many others but its frustrating to not be able to use a feature, because you simply don't know other people with that brand.

Especially here in Germany the Smartphone market is dominated by Apple and Samsung, so good luck trying to successfully use Oppo Share.

I think it would be a better approach to implement these sorts of features natively and not force them into those dodgy reskins but rather incentive smartphone manufacturers into using them.

Wow, what an interesting find. I think it's a really big stretch to request sensor data just for detecting if the user is a bot.

Oh, and please add [2019] for clarity, thanks.

What would be SO EMBARRASSING that you burn heirlooms from a lost relative?

Is no one questioning the Play-Doh in her hands?!

> Before the reliance on ad blockers, people turned to YouTube Vanced to enjoy a Premium-like experience for free. However, the service was shuttered in March last year due to legal pressure from Google. With ad blockers now seemingly on the way out, it looks like free users may only be left with the option of sitting through ads

That is simply not true. There are numerous alternatives to YouTube Vanced, including NewPipe, LibreTube or SkyTube. Only to name a couple. And then there still is invidious. So no, you don't have to sit through ads.

If this turns out to be true it would be crazy. Reddit is hanging off the cliff, soon to be never seen again.

+1 for shiori, I have been using it since 2~ years, and it never once did something unintended.

In Germany we also have a party called "Die Piraten", literally translated as "The Pirates". They fight for a free and open Internet but sadly we don't get that many votes. A couple of years ago they were in the Bundestag, but sadly they didn't have that much of an influence... I hope that someday we get there again, and maybe even collaborate in a coalition, but honestly, even I don't believe that.

To late for Whalter White, sorry, I mean Heisenberg. :(

The user helps free the Internet by using archive.is as an openly accessible backup platform.

This is great news! I just yesterday installed VanillaOS, and I did kinda miss the "Vanilla" aspect. I have that when I install Gnome on Arch. But you can really feel the Ubuntu under the hood.

Twenty five years ago, it didn't exist. Today, twenty million people worldwide are surfing the Net.

As someone who didn't get to experience the early days of the Internet, this seemed to me as if the book was published sometime around 2000-2005. 1996! I didn't expect that many people using and enjoying the Internet so early on.

Wow, sometimes I do feel like this happens to me, but I assure myself the fact that I always (nearly and if I have time) weigh my decisions accurately. And if something goes to shit I can blame it on, well, still on me :(

Good to hear that. Did you create this out of a personal need or why? I am really interested to hear more about this, as it seems interesting as a concept.

I dont know if its just me, but those typos throw me off. Seems like it was created in a rush/hurry or something. Also "with https and everything". What exactly is everything? If you are gonna spend money on some service you want to be informed well enough about it to trust it.

Well yeah, a Google VPN. Throw your privacy through the windows and route ALL your traffic through Googles Servers. Consider Mullvad[0] as a privacy-friendly alternative, you can even pay in cash by sending them a letter. They also don't cooperate with LE (Law Enforcement). But dont take my word for it, look for yourself:

Yes! This is awesome! OpenBSD's Installer was already superb, much better than those calamares installers on your typical manjaro or whatever distro. It was plain easy. Many friends of me didn't switch to openBSD because they didnt fully understand the partitioning system but wanted their disk encrypted (like any sane person should do). I hope this will convince some of them.

If you filter for "Remote" in both looking and hiring, you can see a decline in people looking for those Remote Jobs, whilst the Hiring front skyrocketed. Overcompensation/adaptation at its best.

Consider adding 2021 to the post title, for clarity. Anyhow, interesting article. Thanks for sharing.

Thats also blocked. But what did you expect from a greedy multi-million $ company, that already forces their browser on your system. Yust recently there was a post on here that pointed out how Microsoft forces Edge on their Windows Users. So yeah, what did you expect...

+1 for yabai! It's awesome, such a timesaver. I do miss dwm, but i think yabai is the best of the bunch when it comes to macOS tiling WM's.

I think this would be a wonderful tool for git learners if you would explain the git commands a bit. For example: git add *.py ; This command adds all the python files to the staging list.

You get the gist.
