Absolutely get the Brew and Port package managers. You are gonna feel much better and at home with them. Check company policies for third party software.

Have you used Windows past the 8.1 days?

Are you sure you are not hitting swap too hard? Windows by default makes a bonkers massive page file, while most distributions try to limit wasting so much for swap.

If so, try installing SwapSpace

A workaround would be to cut off Windows Update and manually install major revisions when they get released. You will need to reconstruct grub less often and still remain on latest revisions

Odysee I found it cool when it first released. I checked some time later and it became an echo chamber.

This exists too ::: spoiler spoiler https://coinstats.app/coins/8fZL148nnC168RAVCZh4PkjvMZmxMEfMLDhoziWVPnqf_solana/ :::

Firefox on Ubuntu’s repository is now managed fully by Mozilla, while in the past it wasn’t. Mozilla has had a deal with Google for years to be the default search engine that has massively helped them stay alive as a company.

You are simply now getting an official build instead of a modified one, and official builds don’t let you remove Google from the main interface due to this contract.

This is how GET works, every single parameter is visible regardless of meaning.

How about https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/clearurls/ ? I use it on default settings. There is a chance you can set it up to clear StarPage’s GET variables too.

But if there is an actual setting to use exclusively GET parameters by StartPage, they will just be populated again.

The website will ask for a user streaming to do something in-game or play a specific game while others are watching to probably earn something either in-game or in Discord.

I feel this is fine, the “streamer” can decide to do this tasks or not. And can disable receiving the tasks at all in settings.

You are off-topic. We are talking about in-app purchases percentage rates

Person is likely thinking everyone is after him while hidden in the basement.

To be honest I expected maybe it had something else. But you are right, it just uses a never updated very old build bundled in the OS.

Old device that I use for some older games and as spare. Device is Huawei IDEOS U8150 running CyanogenMod 7

Modern web used to work on it a couple of years ago and quite smoothly too if you set your user agent to Symbian (in Via settings). But I tried this year and unfortunately most websites now will give SSL errors, or just got way too heavy for the less than 256MB of RAM available and will crash the device. But the device used to crash for other things, not only heavy browsing.

Resident Evil 4 and GTA 3 both Android releases will do the same because RAM is just that little. Or also using ADWLauncher2 will crash it despite being quite a light launcher, so I have legacy ADWLauncher that runs much better than the stock Android launcher. Despite the new version crashing the device, before it does so it still runs better than the AOSP launcher. Setting legacy ADWLauncher to kill its own process after opening another app helps a lot too, but of course slows you down when you leave the app you opened as it has to reload everything again.

Google Play Services will take the entire space available (not in 2023, Google dropped support completely to even logging in). It was already best to uninstall it but now that Android Market no longer works it doesn’t install itself ever again.

But Google Maps, the latest version of the app for the OS version being from 2014, still works with no data missing and all updated (but navigation, used to be a separate app, doesn’t and now doesn’t even connect to display the “update the app” message). I downloaded the map of my city and nearby on it, and used it to go to the repair shop twice to fix my real device like a non-digital map.

I use Via on my Android 2.3.7 device. What is using there?

I’ve not used Freetube in a long time. But what I can say is to check if you have the latest version. In the latest available release of yt-dlp on Debian there is a bug where for some videos the Youtube servers would respond 403 Forbidden. It is fixed if you enable backports and install the newer release there. Might be related, might not. Depends if Freetube implements part of yt-dlp

Every privacy conscious person has its own threat model and the solutions they find most comfortable for them. This is a very important question.

Most people don’t care

Way too many massively good artists I follow are still on Twitter with no intention of leaving. Some are on Pixiv or DeviantArt, but most not.

Go ahead, train on me not writing a single thing and just retweeting exclusively Pokémon drawings from Japanese artists.
