lets make June, the month of no Internet for kids.

If it was easy to remove content, there would be a lot less content. And that's usually a good thing that it isn't easy.

house plant care is not that hard to automate (talking about water/feeding)... of course if you are doing bonsai culture, you will have to manually trim it (but I grew bonsai pepper plants with minimal care... no fruits yet though)

Wow... seems like a good time to sell Roblox stocks anyways... because most of Roblox' popular games appear to haven been cloned into Minecraft... earnings are coming up real soon though... I guess we'll find out in less then a week.

edit: I edited this comment a bit to make it clearer because HN would not let me reply to the child comment.

Cool project but it seems odd that you didn't really save any money since mattresses appear to be so over-priced.

should all phone companies now be able to advertise on it?

Are you saying that you need to hide a USB thumb-drive in a wall charger instead?

Not too late..

I want my Google account to be only protected by my current password and I can't do that. Sometime they even ask me for my old passwords. I wish that they would let you opt-out of 2FA...

if you are going to end THAT partnership, please end all mega-corps partnerships...

I thought that this thing was dead in the water since the CIA plans were made public...

I might go with a Pixel and LineageOS... I just hate to have to buy a new phone to be able to install it.

I don't see why you say not to remove the Google Play Services because I found alternative apps that work just as good, but either way, it was I think my only option because my LG G8 is not supported by LineageOS/microg.

Android 10 on an LG device

It would be much worst if they would switch to proof of stake... because a few tend to hold all the wealth.

I wonder how many of these words will eventually become a reality.

I just disabled Google Play Services on my Android phone to increase privacy... then I started to get spammed with about 10 notifications every 10 seconds (not a joke) to tell me that those 10 apps would not work properly without Google Play Services enabled even if they did work properly... Google and/or LG allowed me to disable 7 of these apps, but the others could not be uninstalled or disabled using the GUI... I had to use ADB to remove them. One of those apps, believe it or not was the LG phone clock and another was the calculator.

After I removed all apps that were complaining about missing Google Play Services and installed alternatives for the ones that I needed like the calculator, everything was working fine. (thanks to f-droid for helping me find viable alternatives)

This is not said enough... HR should be renamed to something like Corporate Ears ... or something...

I'm ok with sin tax, but I don't think that they should require a camera for porn to be legal... (ie: porn vs prostitution)

They should move into the banned book publishing business instead.

Question: Are you considered a patent troll if you are an individual that was granted a patent but don't want to go through the hassle of manufacturing and customer support, etc?

If a patent troll is only someone that attempts to enforce patent rights against accused infringers far beyond the patent's actual value as Wikipedia's article claim, perhaps the justice system is broken?

I switched from Google to DDG about a year ago but I just switched to Startpage about a week ago... lets see how it goes (I was getting bored of Bing's results).

But I wonder how long Wikivoyage has been blocked from DDG and/or Bing...

The transcript is probably about 30 pages: https://pastebin.com/7HfHiwVD

Also... their excuse for removing features over the years was the presence of extensions... I think that they get too much money from Google.

thanks a lot, not sure why they are trying to hide this one, it isn't that bad... even if most of his answers use scripted answers that are only a bit related to the question.

I use about 15 extensions... less then half are available. Over the years Mozilla has removed many features from Firefox that I was using but this one has me looking at alternate browsers.

The "new" Firefox Mobile is a joke... they blocked thousands of extensions... Now only about 12 extensions total are available. I still use Firefox mobile v68.11.0esr even if unsupported.

I don't know if his software will work as advertised, but a pro-privacy series on YouTube is great, specially from an established Youtuber...

Is the full video of that town hall meeting available anywhere?
