I agree, Muhammed’s fan base will kill you if you dare depict him, just look at what happened with Charlie Hebdo.

Just build more housing lol.

Does anybody know if it’s possible for individuals to file complaints against Meta or other services that use pay or okay models? I know that some non-profits have successfully done it, but I wonder if people could do it to as a way to pressure regulators even more.

Yes, the nuance is that Facebook must offer an alternative that does not use personal data, even if it means losing some of the features compared to when you pay (either with money or authorizing them to sell your data).

We should thank Microsoft for rendering Windows absolutely unusable, to the point that many people are just jumping ship and installing a Linux distro.

Build more housing.

The convenience of streaming services disappeared, this is just a natural consequence.

I’m still using uBlock Origin to block ads everywhere, but I no longer use YouTube directly, instead I go through Invidious or Piped.

I’m happy to report that the vote was postponed because they did not have the votes for the proposal to pass. I know it is not a definitive victory because they will simply try to do it again, but it’s good that they failed once again.

It seems like it worked, the same guy published an update asking people to stop filing the same complaint again and again. The agency is looking into it.

Great! I’ve been waiting for quite a while for the new Linux app, I’m glad it’s finally here.

Fake news. We now know that Israel had nothing to do with this, the explosion was caused by a malfunctioning rocket fired by a Jihad group in Palestine.

It could be simply luck because it is a slow rollout, or it could also be that you got the filter updates on the background. In any case, you know what to do if you ever run into it.

Yes, they can, it will probably become a cat and mouse situation. The main idea is to put pressure on people that will not take the time to keep looking for alternatives or new solutions and will simply pay up or watch the ads.

Use Firefox, update the uBlockOrigin extension, update the filters, remove any other adblocking extension in case you have it. Should work just fine then.

Make sure you’re using the latest version of uBlockOrigin, then update all your filters. Should work just fine.

The picture comes from the cover of a Goosebumps book, I used to read those when I was a kid, good times.

I’ve been using ProtonMail for a while now and it works very well, they also offer a drive, calendar, password manager, VPN; you can choose if you want all the features or just email.

I also tried Tutanota and they do a good job as well, they’re a smaller company and don’t have as many features as Proton but if all you need is reliable, private e-mail, it’s a good option.

The only subscription that I have left is Spotify. I used to have Netflix as well before the explosion of streaming services started, when it made sense because it was convenient to have immediate access to almost all content. Now that every show is in a different service, I decided to go back to torrents with Stremio.
