You can't remove it on a pixel without changing launcher or root. It's at the bottom. It's not a widget

Pixel phones it's harder:

Change fucking launcher... The google bar is always there, cannot be removed and it's always google.

Motherfucker you look 30

I have 2 options that work most of the time: 12ft.io and archive.ph. The URLCheck rules are:

    
"proxy it with archive.is": {
    "regex1": "^(https?):\\\/\\\/([\\s\\S]*)$",
    "regex": "^(?!.*(archive\\.))(.*)",
    "replacement": "https:\/\/archive.is\/newest\/$2",
    "enabled": "true"
  },
  "12ft.io.": {
    "regex": "^.*$",
    "replacement": "https:\/\/12ft.io\/$0"
  },
  
  

This basically brings up 2 buttons on the urlcheck sheet an I can pick either to proxy it.

It's a common legal term in the UK. Wikipedia had a pretty good overview.

Why did they abuse?

Absolutely. Don't know why Google is being absolved here. Yeah they're not the sole reason the car drove off the bridge but they are a contributing factor and have a duty of care.

There can be some culpability in Google's direction, it doesn't have to be all the blame.

It's absolutely negligent of Google to suggest that route after been informed multiple times over 10 years the bridge is collapsed.

Android:

• Nexdns.io^1 - Open source DNS provider with DNSSEC and over TLS. Then can also block ads at the DNS level. I don't actually use the app, I apply it at the system level with the "private DNS" settings.
• Bitwarden^2 - Open Source password manager with Yubikey auth and stores TOTP.
• Imagepipe^3 - Quickly and easily strip exif data from image (open source too).
• Markor^4 - Used to make local notes of things I don't want shared over a cloud or google connection. Just a .md note.
• Wireguard^5 - Have my own VPN setup for when i'm on public wifi, also allows me to access my server/applications remotely.
• URLCheck^6 - This app is fantastic, intercepts links to remove tracking parameters, unshorten them or even scan them with a virustotal API. I also use it to redirect twitter to nitter or apply a paywall remover.

I guess it's going to stop any standard agencies with a warrant. Confiscating the machine for it to sit in a warehouse until some forensic techs get their hands on it.

They knew it wasn't feasible but made it law anyways and passed it to ofcom to generate the guidelines for these companies to follow.

Absolutely incredible.

What does “without any disks in use” mean?

• If the computer is powered off, moved or confiscated, there is no data to retrieve.
• We get the operational benefits of having fewer breakable parts. Disks are among the components that break often. Therefore, switching away from them makes our infrastructure more reliable.
• The operational tasks of setting up and upgrading package versions on servers become faster and easier.
• Running the system in RAM does not prevent the possibility of logging. It does however minimise the risk of accidentally storing something that can later be retrieved.

A good tip also, when you scan a link with virus total. Clicking it will show a text output of the scan, long pressing the result will launch the virus total results page for more detail.

Love this app! Been using it for ages and have donated a few times.

I've setup a couple of custom redirects to get rid of some paywalls, redirect twitter to nitter

Mainly use it to remove tracking and just intercept URLs.

The virustotal scan is cool, I purposefully clicked a few links in my spam.

They threatened to leave and the UK Gov called these companies bluff. They won't leave.

They offer someone else the job

Also I bet he's more mad it was video'd and publicised.

Just wanted to thank you.

In the end VLC worked great and was surprisingly easy!

I did another option and got the videos on the iPad but no app could see them, should have just VLC'd it from the start.

VLC is such a treasure!

Here's another good idea if you don't follow RSS feeds, I use these at work to aggregate some sites together:

What are you subbed to on matrix? Seen it mentioned but never had a need to sign up.
