  • 🤣 I like that.

  • I just looked up fingerprinting. Yuck. Is there anything FOSS that defeats it?

  • That bites, and thank you.

  • Qbittorrent and LibreOffice

  • the cheaper one has ads That used to be over-the-air, broadcast tv. Monopolies gotta gouge.

  • In the 1984-sense, daily at work.

  • Oh my, I thought this was a joke!

  • I'm using 2 extensions from the Firefox store, Simple Translate and Translate This Page. If one goes down, I use the other. Sometimes I use translate.yandex.ru as well.

  • 🤣

  • now trying to blame Ukraine

    Blaming Russia was either stupid b/c putting the Nord Stream out of commission hurt Russia, or cynical b/c they thought we'd be stupid enough to buy that story. Blaming Ukraine has a basis in reality. https://www.reuters.com/world/us-had-intelligence-ukrainian-plan-attack-nord-stream-pipeline-washington-post-2023-06-06/ We may well have done it, as Biden promised, in concert with Ukraine or without them. https://www.wsj.com/video/video-biden-says-no-nord-stream-2-if-russia-invades-ukraine/B5942F2D-E4E5-4BD1-8CB3-8816A2ECAF19.html

  • If you're referring to the nukes-are-statistically-safe argument, then to be fair, you also have to take into account the scale of their failures.

  • Wind turbines can be located off shore. Energy can also be harvested from wave action.

    • Fukushima
    • Chernobyl
    • 3-Mile Island to name a few
  • Usually, under the box containing the visual captcha, there's a headphone icon. Click that.

  • Try adding YT enhancer. I've got UBlock Origin and that installed. IDK which one is still blocking ads, but they're still blocked.

  • Dumbasses posting stupid shit don't read sourced or reasoned comments. They just fling more poo. Walk away.

  • The last laptop I bought is a Dell Inspiron from 2013. I got it at a ReStore (Habitat for Humanity) thrift shop for $125 ~2 yrs ago. i5 processor; built like a tank. Had to replace wifi chip b/c original was very slow. Got that on ebay for $25 (pkg of 5, but that's the only way they came). When W10 goes away, I'll make it a chromebook, if I haven't first figured out how to install Linux on it. If I need a usb c port, I'll find an adapter, as that would put less strain on my budget.
