yeah i'm sure this top 1% acclaimed journalist had no other options

he should be ashamed of himself working for a16z. reactionary VC ghouls

:O

I know this is somewhat defeating of the privacy purpose but I use FF because of sync- is there an alternative that can use something like webdav to sync my bookmarks/history/etc between instances? e; i know floccus is around for bookmarks but i find history useful too

weirdly if you search "website advertising preferences" in the firefox setting search bar nothing comes up, you have to manually scroll to find it

do you mean anything by this beyond his election chances? i'm failing to imagine what policies would change based on this

i'm genuinely curious about some alternatives to this sort of surveillance to solve issues like CSAM etc., which aren't "it's the parents responsibility". section 230 reform? links to further reading appreciated.

i found this to be an interesting talk by a specialist on the way risks from these things are ranked and where the state of currect research is: https://piped.kavin.rocks/watch?v=vocvz6N6faI

the important takeaway for me was that "micro"plastics aren't exactly microscopic

i’d love for a good tech journalist to look into how and why this is happening and do a full write-up on it. come on ars, verge, vice

these numbers are nearly reaching the point where buying seasons of shows on iTunes, which always seemed insanely expensive, becomes the better option for people who watch specific stuff. never thought I’d see the day

youtube suggestions are genuinely terrible for the individual and humanity as a whole

wow, i completely missed this the last time i tried out calibre-web, if it was even integrated. awesome, thanks. i also found this guide: https://code.mendhak.com/kobo-customizations/#syncing-kobo-with-calibre-web

as in it pulls everything you add to the calibre library on a schedule rather than pulling individually/manually like from OPDS? how do you pull this off?

nice little guide, i'm surprised your pi can run the media servers though without being really slow. i'd also suggest using an alternate webui for qbittorrent if you're only interacting with it through the webui. i like https://github.com/WDaan/VueTorrent

i've used this one before but i hasn't been updated in a while

idk, i wonder if youtube could even work if you always had to be logged in. when i imagine what most of youtube's activity is, i think of the foreign music videos with billions of views. could their ad model with those kinds of numbers possibly work if they put account auth barriers in front of it? how many hotel lobbies, barber shops, etc are playing youtube on loop logged out worldwide? netflix level drm would radically change the platform.

rss is working on the instance i'm using. make sure you're on a recently updated one
