uBLock Origin seems to work well enough for me

I’d feel worse if they didn’t so richly deserve it.

For once, I hope Verizon wins

Love the handle, BTW. :)

I think downloading is against Google’s TOS. Whether that makes it illegal is a question for a lawyer.

I’ve never used a VPN with it either. But it should work, especially with an exit node in a country where Google has no incentive to/is prohibited from interfering with third party viewers.

I’m not suggesting that you should. But if the government that controls a TLD is not trusted, then no site under that TLD should be trusted either.

If you trust the government that controls a TLD, then use the site. If not, proceed with caution.

Good to know. Thanks!

It would also be nice if there were a way to use them anonymously. ChatGPT seems to allow this, but I’m not entirely comfortable with OpenAI.

The Cask of Amontillado?

So there isn’t actually a problem with GIMP.

Owned up to the mistake, then suggested alternatives while they were finishing Maps, which had been rushed due to the launch of Android and Jobs not wanting a competitor’s CEO sitting on Apple’s board.

I have no idea what you’re on about messaging. I can use it just fine.

Nobody’s perfect.

I don’t know of any MMS problem, but I also don’t generally text outside of iMessages. Maps was a cockup, and Apple owned it.

It’s blasphemy in some circles, but I never recommend Ubuntu. Mint seems much more straightforward and easier to make it feel like Windows for new users. There’s a Debian-based version if you prefer it.

I run Mint (Ubuntu version) on a couple of old laptops. But I use Debian on a Linode (Akamai) cloud server for a little hobby project. It’s a good distro.

I don’t think Spaz is thinking at all. That was how Reddit imploded.

And slow down search even more?

I’m sure they are. But they haven’t yet. And after this, they might at least borrow a page from Apple and make sure it works first.

It’s an interesting concept. But right now, Google Search is the best argument in favor of Bing.

Unlike others in this thread, I do happen to believe telepathy is real. I don’t know if this is how to access it, though. Might be worth checking techniques used by military researchers or the Princeton Consciousness Project.

What if they’re “mistakenly” attacked by Israel?
