  • i have an email account that i'm not receiving valid 2fa emails which are sent to me. to add the sender email address(es) to a white list in order to bypass server-side mail filters (which are blocking these emails from reaching my inbox), i have to pay and subscribe to unlock the feature.

    at the one service i care about, to change its email to a different email address, i have to be able to receive those 2fa emails and validate a code to authorize the change.

  • captive portal detection, certificate status verification, and iirc server settings updates. yes. none of them are 'absolutely required' but they do exist to improve the reliability and secure operation of the program--and none are secret nasty spying telemetry. just turn those particular settings off as desired.

  • i nuked my post history and haven't logged-in to 'that site' in about two years. there is one sub i lurk in occasionally that hasn't gained any traction on the lemmy equivalent. that's it other than the (relatively infrequent) pointer to a post from a web search for which no other alternative was listed.

  • there is mv3 version of ubo here:
    https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBOL-home

    dunno how well it works on yt, though. i use dlp on a pc for the time or two a month i 'need to' look at a yt vid.

    adguard's free browser extension is also mv3 compliant (for chrome). i think the old adblockplus (disable 'acceptable ads' and ignore offer to 'upgrade' to a paid version) is, too.

  • more than one place i've lived at had a busy road be the 'line' separating bus vs walk to school. where i am now some literally get bussed across the road and then another block to the school, while some who live up to a mile away on the 'same side' of that road as the school get to walk.

  • here when i search for something or someone 'newsworthy' i get links to other sites ahead of msn, those links do go to the expected sites, and the favicons (that are all msn in the posted image) are also correct. in fact, only one first page out of the five searches i tried even had an msn link at all--at #9.

  • if you haven't added the flathub repository to your new debian kde desktop install, discover will only show you packages from debian's repositories that were automatically configured during installation.. even if you've added the flatpak 'backend' from inside discover--flathub still has to be added to your sources (see step 3 in link above).

    once you have multiple sources of an application (for instance, 'vlc'), discover will add a 'sources' pulldown (top right, next to the 'install' button) where you can choose debian system package or flatpak (or snap, if configured).

    which source you use is entirely up to you. on my own debian desktop, i usually stick with debs if it has what i'm looking for, as i've chosen debian and have accepted their pace at which new software is added. if i wanted 'bleeding edge' i would have installed something else entirely on it. but you can certainly go 'all flatpak' if you wanted to.
