They’re just called “backup codes” now. But yeah.

If you choose to pack a portable monitor+kb+dock combo, you can use your phone as a computer instead with Dex or similar. Seems more practical to me in 2025.

Might upgrade to a Pixel 8 from my current Pixel 6. I want to get security updates until at least the end of this administration.

Advertising is too big of an industry to ever be banned. It also keeps lots of other sectors on life support, like sports and free online content. It’s also extremely important to keep services like search engines free. Unless we transition away from capitalism ads are pretty much mandatory to keep the economy afloat. I agree they suck though. uBlock Origin until I die.

I like lemmy more because it feels like I get more interaction when I post here. Smaller communities are just better for meaningful discussion.

Oh it’s 100% illegal but it’s not worth the battle. Landlord is just a landlord on the side, her main gig is an attorney. Sounds like an expensive nightmare for us if we even try to push it beyond what we already have.

My landlord spray-painted over all our cabinets with vinyl. Did a shit job and now paint flakes come off into our dishes. They said it was too expensive to fix 🤷‍♂️

Librewolf is privacy-hardened so it’s probably the best option. Brave is Chromium-based. Realistically though, all web browsers come with compromises, and internet anonymity is virtually impossible without unrealistic amounts of effort.

It’s pleasing to the eye but lacks the soul and passion of a real, human gooner who just wants to make people cum

The new manifest v3 version is actually not that bad, though not nearly as good as normal ublock.

For those saying they didn’t know about this, it’s because they never actually released anything. They got shut down unexpectedly before they finished any projects. Allegedly there are still some in-development games based on Netflix properties that will still be released on their gaming service, and the service itself will stay up. It’s just the studio itself that was shut down.

Not really AAA at all, no.

I imagine it’s to pad runtime.

Smart TVs are designed to surveil you, a media center PC can be used however you want. Flash Linux and run Jellyfin and torrent everything through a VPN, then nothing can track you.

Yep, it was my personal, password-protected network. Either someone reconnected it (unlikely, I live with my gf who doesn’t use the TV) or it just cached the password until it decided to spy on my again 🙃

I have definitely had to forget networks, then have them connect to that network weeks later at random, then having to forget the network again. Don’t know how that’s legal.

Do not connect your Smart TVs to network people, seriously. Just a bad idea. Use a media center PC or some other device that allows you to stream content, and make sure the TV itself is just a big monitor, nothing more.

And when you point that out to the AI, those code snippets get replaced with even more spaghetti that is maybe 1% closer to actually working, at best. Been there!

She always looks good, I’m not particular about the specific texture of her skin.

Sometimes you have to clear the cache and update the lists manually to fix it.
