ProtonMail exposing Threads user data harvesting posting the same screenshot from Apple’s App Store that multiple other accounts on Fedi have posted, often in comparison with several Mastodon clients’ app listings. the title reads as if they’ve done some thorough investigating.
Reddit just became a lot more friendly to bots, and a lot less friendly to humans. Their block list covered 144,926 bot accounts. All those and more are going to get unleashed.
uBO, of course. note: you guys don't need ClearURLs with this list added. LibRedirect for automatically opening Youtube, Twitter, TikTok etc. links in their privacy-focused front-ends. I just make sure to disable all the instances by esmailelbob since he's a little homophobic shithead Buster for automatic captcha solving Consent-O-Matic automatically clicks through cookies banner to deny all the cookies that aren't necessary, which I like better than just hiding the cookie banner Redirect AMP to HTML because fuck AMP and fuck Google
This is also something that i find to be important to post about because I played the game personally and it is one of my favorite rpgs. I also think the witcher 3 was one of the most influential games of last decade and something like this deserves its own thread.
First all the bs with Twitter and Elon, then Reddit having an exodus to Lemmy (not complaining lol), then Twitch. Are we like, in an alternate self healing dimension or something?
VLC is so strongly hardcoded as a video player in my mind that it always baffles me when someone uses it for playing music. I mean, I know it can handle it, it just feels... wrong.
Since we launched our first paid plans in 2015, our Premium price has never changed. Now the time has come to update our plans. While prices for existing subscribers will not change, we have an awesome one-time offer if you decide to switch to the new plans right now: Get the new plans at half price and benefit from more email...
Just got back from my local 7/11 to get some soda, and it was a mile (technically 0.8 but shut), was thinking it was absolutely hellish to walk up there due to naturally having weak muscles n shit like that....
For a while now I've been quite happy running LibreWolf, with Bitwarden and some other privacy extensions. I've also switched over from Google to Kagi as a search engine; doesn't keep me anonymous, but I do love not being the product for once.

no ads and more customizability. last time I checked (and I've been checking multiple times over the years), the official client didn't even let me change the post and comment font size, which is by default too small for me. at the same time, I don't need huge-ass cards for every post and switch view to just post title with small thumbnails. I can sort subreddits I follow the way I want to, with the ones I visit most frequently on top of my list. I can add labels next to usernames with notes about the users. when I'm writing a post, there are buttons that help with quick markdown formatting. the comment section has got colorful depth markers so it's easier to keep track of the chains. even the UI integrates better with the rest of my OS. in comparison to that, the official app is a crippled mess that is only good enough when all you do is scroll through auto-playing gifs and videos, and it doesn't even support some of the native reddit features (like opening categories of your saved posts - a reddit gold Premium feature) that the third party clients do.
Hey everyone, I’ve got a software suggestion for all you android users. Here’s the cheesy sales pitch, though I’d share: Sunbird is a new All-In-One messenger that will hopefully be coming out in mid-2023. It will basically aggregate multiple messengers on android (whatsapp, facebook messenger, sms, rcs, discord, signal)...
