The 2015 MBP is also the last one that still has built-in optical audio output, via mini-TOSLINK.

> So if OP is seeing "loads" of sexualized content, it's because they spent enough time watching sexualized content before swiping for TikTok to think that's what they want to see, and ensure they see more of it.

Even if the picture you are painting of the previous poster is accurate, being horny once in a while is by no means justification for an endless stream of sexualized content.

That's not a neutral quality of the system, but a deliberate feedback loop establishing an addictive behavior. We already know the shortcomings of the human condition and should ask for less footguns, not more.

> by the mere virtue of not being hosted in the USA

I don't know where Telegram is hosted, but whenever I fire the desktop app there is always at least a google DNS request, sometimes some additional connections to google hosts. It certainly does seem to partially rely on the USA.

The obligation to apologize for nazi references in one's rhetoric went out the window the moment actual nazis started getting mainstreamed into politics again.

Good thing "/s" tagged remarks barely qualify as sarcasm, then.

That could prove really difficult without the death of those not in need of any advancement. Power and privilege by their very nature tend to find ways of avoiding being watered down.

Once an open platform becomes crowded enough, downvoting without further interaction to show disagreement is fully expected. It's unhealthy because it turns discourse into a popularity contest, but that's the world we live in.

Maybe your opinion is just a tad less popular than what you expect it to be.

One may argue that the deliberate communicative act of expressively sharing feelings by means of articulated language may very well be a rational response by itself, as long as it's driven by a thoughtful enough intention. Even if at the same time it's fully void of rationalist value.

(Sorry if it comes across overly pedantic and twisted: non-native speaker, not enough sleep, words hard.)

It's good that NextDNS exists, but I can't help feeling that having your main site make the kind of third-party requests you'll likely want blocked by their service is kind of a marketing faux pas to say the least.

We have been brainwashed by capitalists that all of us must do everything.

Aren't most of those 0-days exploiting iOS integrated apps and thus outside the realm of App Store curation and policy?

Asking because that's the impression I get, but may be wrong.

> either you believe social distancing and masks are necessary

:s/believe/know

I think anyone supportive of consuming less is including less individual travel and proximity trade/consumption as a fundamental part of the decrease. Other popular issues nowadays seem to be meat consumption and human breeding, but the key importance of transportation seems to be still more generally acknowledged by everyone I know with an outspoken opinion on the matter or a corporate agenda.

Air conditioning as a luxury to rethink, OTOH, rarely if ever comes into discussion around here (I'm writing from a Mediterranean perspective, obviously AC can quickly become a necessity elsewhere).

Does Fathom honor DNT requests from visitors?

Confirmed working on DDG (text search only) and Startpage (both text and images), tested on Firefox.

I think medium mode in uBO is a fair balance between granularity and usability:

I think I'm using a tweaked version of this one:

I changed it into "transform 125ms linear 43ms" and removed the "transition-delay" lines because it felt too slow.

Can't answer for parent post, but I do my living room browsing on a 1360x768 dumb TV and having the bookmarks toolbar open in any tab other than a blank new tab eats a noticeable amount of screen real state, so I default to new tab & click on bookmark.

It's a bummer that Firefox is not respecting its own compact layout by needlessly enlarging the address bar while on focus, but the shadow dropped from the new monstrosity obscures the bookmarks toolbar in my desktop with default layout, too, and that's a real usability concern.

If for every tit dollar you spend on outer prevention you can stop some tat percentage of disease spread both inwards and outwards, and then that has a provable impact on your own economy, I'd say playing the geopolitical sugar daddy is no selfless act neither in ther short term nor the long term.

I understand the need for assurance that those dollars are effectively working towards the intended goal, but assuming you are a sucker for paying the bill is only right if there was nothing of nutritional value to you in the menu.

So I guess the question is about working the data and crunching the numbers to know whether there is or isn't impact on your own economy and the welfare of your population, and not about not feeling like a sucker on the supranational ego scene.

If we are going to use game theory terms, then we are bound to acknowledge that not everything is a non-cooperative game.

The si.edu list or the smithsonianmag.com one? Maybe I'll try both just to be sure. :)

On the cheaper side on the spectrum but not quite as cheap as TripMode, there is Vallum: https://vallumfirewall.com

I've been using it for years and the only feature I miss is domain/subdomain blacklisting.

If there is no need for such a granular control of outgoing connections for any given application, there's also the no-cost and open-sourced LuLu: https://github.com/objective-see/LuLu

And it doesn't stop at phones. I kid you not, the main benefit of upgrading my early 2009 Mac Pro GPU was having a fully functioning Google Maps experience again.
