why would you not want to pay for YouTube knowing that some of that money makes it to the creators at least?

do the math to find out what percentage of user subscription ends up in a creator they watch. Also do the math to find out how much is earning google vs how much money goes to the creator. Creators end up getting pennies. If you want to support your favourite creators do it differently. By believing that "least some money makes it to the creators" is what youtube has managed to make people believe so that they rationalize paying for a subscription.

but a firewall takes no effort.

this whole thread is literally asking for people to put effort to collectivelly write a huge ass complete guide about linux firewalls targeting new users. So what I understand is that both the authors and the readers will have to put effort in either explaining or understanding and learning. We are not talking about a sudo apt install gufw and call it a day.

my point was that at this point, you have more serious problems than first securing the device which by default is the most secure one among them. I mean it needs much more expertise and targeted attack for someone to break into your local network, and then manage to break into your linux machine, which by default is quite secure regardless, compared to the effort that is required to find unsecured IOT devices and get the data they happily share open in the wild.

If your home network is bugged with microphones and cameras without any proper security measures, adding a firewall in a linux laptop shouldn't be your priority. In contrary it is "dangerous" as a non tech savvy person may think that they are more "secure" now, while in fact they have added zero protection to all the sensitive data that they give in the surveillance devices they willingly put in their home.

and your distant relatives are representative of the rest of the country

if you have set up your whole home like being bugged you'll not gain much from a firewall in the most secure of devices among them.

Where they actually put quotes implies that they don’t think she’s gonna die at all

if she is already dead, then yes, she cannot die (again) at the hospital. I understand what you mean and tbh I'm not sure if there is one correct way to express it. For me at least it was very much understandable how it was originally written.

The way I understand it, by quoting the "in the hospital" you imply that the place may be elsewhere but still be in the future, since you don't put focus on the action itself (death) which (according to the author) is something that has already happened. By quoting the "dies" you acknowledge that she is in the hospital and you are not questioning the place. You just focus on the tense "dies", since she is already dead.

are you that naive by choice?

its her mother. Of course she still has hope. The parents keep hoping for their children are alive until the day they see them being buried in the ground. There are parents that are still hoping after 40 years of their child being missing if there is no body found.

However her mother has neither talked with her or even seen her in a video that for example is alive in an ICU if she can't talk.

they should had sent the current one!

it does exist on lineage 20

there is an even worse case for that. CTRL + F in a browser and directly start typing while you're in a webpage/webapp with hotkeys shortcuts. I end up marking posts/emails as spam, deleting them from my view, start replying or whatever action they've assigned in a single key press.

I find it more convenient to move this dock on the left side of the screen and shrink it down to a very thinner one. Then it only occupies a few pixels horizontally, which results in just a bit narrower windows.

the combined internet toggle

you can go to the settings of the notification's pull down menu (the one that you can add/remove tiles) (pencil icon), remove the combined internet button, and add 2 separate buttons for wifi and mobile data. It could be relevant to the ROM though so I'm not sure if it exists in all phones.

technically you're correct, but this depends on the country and/or plan. For example family plan in europe is increased by 3 EUR

you mean something like this https://newsroom.spotify.com/2023-07-24/adjusting-our-spotify-premium-prices/ ?

correct, actually both together. dns blocking both trackers and ads will result in your profile never being harvested. It will still be there with limited info, whatever they have gathered from facebook scrolling, likes, chat and comments, but it will not be queried in order to show you ads.

the capitalists are unable to understand that the "eternal growth" their books mention is not feasible in real world and in fact it is a bug. There are physical upper limits that cannot be overcome. There will not be unlimited people that will always enrol in a new subscription. They need to somehow understand that at some point a company may reach their ceiling. This is not reason to do whatever panic change in order to show growth in the numbers. It will just not happen.

to be fair I don't think that there is anyone who wants these kind of people to move to mastodon

it's not about idiocity. It is because of for many non native speakers, this word has almost always been seen in that context.

not sure if it is only because of the movies. Even in the (world) news that you may read online it is much more often to read in the headlines of a violent armed police raid than service workers walking in to get the accounting books. So I guess it could also be that we've never seen or used this word in another context.
