He's rich, so it's called bussiness inshead of crime

Looking through all these short descriptions doesn't surprise me a bit. Trash amongst humanity, parasites etc

Surveilance shouldn't be a thing on hardware YOU own. Back in the day we called that shit Spyware, but it's okay if it's a Virus made by Google/Facebook/Amazon... The list goes on and on

I am pretty content with DuckDuckGo at the moment. It's sadly still worse than peak Google was but that's enshittification for ya

Why go out of your way instead of just using a proper search engine? Google has been getting worse and worse for the past 4 or 5 years

True

That's why I changed it to keep all history and cookies on pages I whitelisted

Same for the gasoline. It's not as uncommon to like it as you might think

but I don't know if you can just reverse a splitter to have output from 2 sources into a single input. 🤔

Can't you just chain them? For example, when I connect my Phone via bluetooth to my PC I can connect said PC to my speakers which will play both's audio at once just fine

That's it for my streak. Gone, reduced to atoms

I haven't seen a single ad on any of my devices for more than 10 years

So, no, I did not

I compiled a list for you, here you go:

Not really, NoScript prevents executing all JavaScript by default. JShelter instead strongly limits what JS can do and spoofs some values to throw of fingerprinters. It also has a network boundary shield (mostly blocking cross sites post/get requests. Same for lan to prevent your local network being scanned etc). And it comes with a fingerprint detector which allows you to see which websites want to track you the most (I avoid those whenever possible)

It's the best. Deletes all cookies and browsing data on exit by default. I changed it to keep history and cookies for a handful of sites

Turned up uBO to strict mode and installed JShelter to get rid of most clientside fingerprinting (this will cause some breakage on a site by site basis though, which is quick to be fixed. Mostly on sites that are dynamically managed by JS instead of the way it's meant to be)

I guess you're talking about individous? Still not fully private, you're still in a pool of users also using that instance

For duplicates dupeGuru's Music Mode should suffice (don't be overly aggressive when batch deleting files!)

Then tag and sort them with MusicBrainz Picard (again, take it slow. Picard is great and all but not every automated match is correct and I always check mine if they're correct)

After doing that start taking notes while listening to your Music in case you detect something is wrong (missed duplicate, wrong/partial metadata, etc) which allows you to fix these errors later on

I'd also recommend you do backups along the way because dupeGurus and Picards changes can't be undone and as a beginner you're likely to do mistakes till your accustomed to the process

That's what I did and will continue to do with my 1500 songs (for now)

I also prefer to sync my music from my PC to my phone via rsync (any sync application should suffice). But that's just me, because imo offline playback is the way to go

the kicker: she's an employee of a local catholic parish.

Not surprising at all, without misleading and lying to people no religion would gain mass traction

I love Discreet Launcher because it let's me quickly acces any of my apps with 1-3 quick movements, allows me to actually appreciate my wallpaper and does everything a launcher needs to (launch apps obviously)

It's probably not for everyone though, I'm a Window Manager instead of full blown Desktop Environment kind of guy

That's why I said if you have the know how and experience. Asking the assisstant to do something for you will probably take londer than doing it yourself

What you're talking about is more like Q&A imo, which is just kind of an inbuild google or manual

That's what I figured. Everything the assisstant does for you will be done faster with the right know how and experience

That's thanks to their shitty javascript. Gosh, I hate sites doing that so much

Just let me use my browser the way it's intended to instoad of loading every shitty little html element dynamically with your shitty js doing shitty network requests dropping them like crazy
