I also use ublock origin in Firefox on my Android phone though!

Makes sense if you're on iphone.

I thought that a major reason humans were so successful is because the older members of the tribe could protect the children while the others hunted.

I only run ublock origin and I don't see ads. How would Pi-Hole help me?

Is there any way we can make those lunatics work for those weeks, so the sane people can take more time off to actually live their lives?

It's about controlling expenses after having a large income.

With a small income, everything goes on necessities. FIRE isn't possible.

old.reddit.com is still ok. Don't tell anyone or they'll take it away.

I have an auto-redirect userscript set up in Firefox so I never see reddit.com.

Adblock bro.

The day I can't block ads is the last day I use youtube.

Everyone knows a major catastrophe is coming. Scientists have been talking about the tipping point for like five decades now.

It's a done deal, we were too stupid.

Is it really that onerous to turn headlights on manually? That's not a feature that I envy.

My plan for the future is a trailbike, a tent and a shotgun.

But with regard to a car, I don't know. I'll just do the best I can when the time comes. I'm hopeful there'll be options available or where I can cut antennas or whatever.

Interesting how the question is about disabling collection, but the answer is about connectivity.

The perfect modern consumer/sucker...

My car needed another key. The stealership quoted me >$400 for it. I took it as a personal insult and did the research and ordered an OBD device and also discovered you can order replacement keys on aliexpress, and they'll even cut them for you with a good picture of your existing key. It was actually a fun project and very satisfying when I was able to successfully program and link the RFID chip to the ECU to start the engine.

May not be feasible with more locked-down modern cars which I wouldn't touch with a ten-foot pole, but I was able to fix it for about $150, not including my time of course. But I have the OBD device to use next time now as well.

I'm hoping the AI RAM crisis will turn out to be a good thing in some ways, although that's probably being way too optimistic.

>The fact that we build our brain work spaces so distant from physical movement is bad for our mental health

Ain't this the truth. It's a ridiculous way to build a society.

If he could set it to 384kHz, he would.

Because of stairsteps he can hear or something.

Do you have only a dumb phone?

This was the one that did it for me: "38C3 - From Silicon to Sovereignty: How Advanced Chips Are Redefining Global Dominance" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NdppYYfQJgg

Absolutely insane stuff.

Why do they need drones? They could just make the car accelerate as fast as it goes, when the GPS says it's coming up to a T-junction or something.

I think it's also because a lot of people act like laws are passed down by god, immutable.

Reminder that slavery was legal.

I'm all for a ban which is simply, "any parent who allows their child to access social media will be sent to the gulag".

Problem solved, and with minimal government meddling.

Their marketing is pretty particular, when it suits them.

Their actions show something completely different. Everything is about protecting their jailed garden.

It took the EU to force them to grudgingly use USB-C.

Wow, that's so amazingly terrible that I'm sure my Australian government is planning it right now.

Can you not see why they might be incentivized to make it unrepairable?

I tried it a couple more times, and it worked on the third try and showed me the green successfully verified message.

On Discord, I got the captcha, but then after it redirected, I got a page saying:

    {"error":"failed to execute k-id privately action (status=404)"}

I'm very much an adult, this whole thing is ridiculous. Ban me, I don't care.

I'm ecstatic that I can't afford one of those.

Why bother? Just get NTP time when the power comes back. It's syncing every 15 minutes anyway.

Agreed. What phone would you recommend?

I want a flagship phone with a headphone jack.

Looks like the only option nowadays is the Asus Rog Phones or Asus Zenfone Ultra.

And how much of your cold hard cash would you be willing to lay down for the free basic AI chat, when they decide they actually want a return from their trillion dollar data center investments?

Surely if Copilot was so useful and great, it wouldn't be free and they wouldn't be trying to force it down unwilling people's throats at every opportunity.

I'm beginning to think this AI stuff isn't all it's cracked up to be...
