A well-timed cat poster can have the same effect. The problem is, if there's little substance to the message, the effect is short-lived. The key to running a good cat poster busine…

Fuck that, I have a better regulation: Targeted ads are illegal, punishable by death. Let's force a different (I don't care if it's "better") business model.

They keep telling me they're working on it.

Now I get it. No. But you can post links to your site to them manually.

It really is the best. No need to create and maintain another account, no need to reskim over read/intentionally skipped entries, filters for things you know you want to always ski…

HN, YouTube and Reddit all have it.

What is it that's only allowing you to play audio from a single source at a time? On my desktop that sound just plays over other sounds, nothing pauses. I hate auto-play media as m…

Do you know if installing Portacle will mess with any existing configurations of those things on Linux? In particular Emacs. I have everything backed up but, since I only plan to p…

I've been using Newsbeuter but my needs are very minimal.

While it seems inevitable, I really hope there's going to be a way to do all this without having to authenticate and link a name, credit card and cell phone. I really don't like th…

That leaves no room for them to appear at all. I'm all for it.

"You shouldn't evaluate the validity of an argument based on where it comes from" Then why is his name is in the title? He's not the first person to make these points. The only rea…

Does anyone care about his opinions on this kind of thing? He fought to put DRM into every browser, you can't come back from such a poor political move.

Anything at a custom domain that doesn't look direct to an individual (e.g. not realname@domain.tld) is a big hint to spammers that the owner uses a catch-all and thus any address …

I bit the bullet and registered with my real email address. The email from solani reiterates "If you don't want to use your real E-Mail-address, please use an address from the top-…

I think so. A few days ago someone posted something [1] about how they use their own sub-domain to alias CDNs so they can simply update DNS records to easily fix issues with a CDN …

I bought a raspberry pi specifically to run pi-hole, with the assumption it would be able to YT ads but, as far as I can tell, it doesn't. It's been good at blocking in-game ads th…

"If you do not wan't to publish your e-mail address, you can use pseudo.address@example.invalid or any other address ending with the top level domain .invalid. This namespace has b…

Any site running third-party JS should get the red "insecure" icon like http sites do now.

Does that block YouTube app ads? I use Firefox and uBlock Origin on Android, I use YouTube through that and I don't install any apps with ads. But my family seems to be unable to g…

Advertising _without tracking_. Advertising was done that way for all of human history until recently. Take away their ability to run arbitrary code on users machines and the probl…

HA! That made me think of what might be an interesting feature on a forum, if the parent gets downvoted, all the children do as well. Might prevent feeding trolls or expanding off-…

Just keep in mind anything simpler likely has additional attack surfaces. e.g. Anything that's cloud based, browser plug-in, centralized, etc. all bring the standard attack surface…

Any reason Signal isn't available through F-Droid? It may be unjustified but I'm not a big fan of installing privacy conscious apps through Play. Edit: Wait, haven't installed anyt…
