SponsorBlock skips sponsor segments. SponsorBlock also supports Invidious and Piped if you enable Support 3rd Party YouTube-Sites in the SponsorBlock options.

Right to be forgotten is supposed to cover data deletion, though the EU has much stronger protections than the US.

I prefer Arch Linux’s use of flatpaks, which is none at all ever

Do you have any .pacnew or .pacsave files? That can sometimes explain breakage, you should resolve them after every update.

sudo find /etc -name '*.pacsave' -o -name '*.pacnew' | sort

No copyright? No problem!

I work 100% remote, which has made it very easy for me to ignore my coworkers’ bad politics takes because they’re confined to a specific Slack channel

I run my VPN and Firefox in a network namespace.

Docker introduces latency, but network namespaces do not.

That’s true, presenting your phone to them would make it easier for them to invent a reason to take your phone

That means if I used the digital version, they would had unlimited access to all my digital life. Photos, emails, chats, from decades ago.

Do they actually take your phone when you present it to them for digital ID? They don’t scan it and bring up the same information on their scanner?

What you’re looking for is version sort. Here’s how ls -1v sorts those files in the terminal, for example:

Link Click S01E04.mkv
Link Click S01E05.mkv
Link Click S01E05.5.mkv
Link Click S01E06.mkv

Nemo might be able to support version sort by way of a plugin, but I have not found one. The nnn CLI file manager supposedly supports version sort.

Another reason to not use Manjaro. Just use Endeavour instead.

Endeavour could be useful if it’s your first time running an Arch-based distro and you’re looking for software/configuration suggestions. Otherwise, Arch Linux is fine by itself and it doesn’t have telemetry

Is WiFi calling a decent alternative to VoIP?

I’ve placed calls using WiFi calling where the person said they could barely understand the words I was saying due to sound distortion. When I called back over VoIP, they said it was crystal-clear.

Sure, but some people are currently trying to use that dating advice. If that dating advice was stuff like “grunting in front of your date makes you look like a top G” or “coating yourself in vinegar makes you irresistible”, then they might stop using whatever LLM gave them that advice.

Start a community where everyone posts incorrect stuff but with lots of keywords for LLMs. Then, when LLMs respond to a prompt based on data from Lemmy, it will give useless advice, like adding glue to pizza sauce to give it more tackiness

If your school blocks VPN connections, that usually means that they’re specifically blocking OpenVPN traffic and/or WireGuard traffic. So if you use a VPN provider that supports OpenConnect (which looks like regular HTTPS traffic over port 443 to your school, there’s a good chance that it will not be blocked.

That’s what I do when I’m on open Wi-Fi networks that block everything but HTTP or HTTPS traffic. It’s not as fast as UDP OpenVPN, let alone WireGuard, but it frees me from the restrictions of whatever Wi-Fi network I’m on.

Automatic updates is what to choose if you want someone else to fix your problems. As long as you don’t run into problems introduced by automatic updates, automatic updates should be fine.

They expected to get a marginal number of additional users from vendor lock-in of existing Signal users

Wayland does not work with screen readers like Odilia or Orca. Because Wayland leaves blind users behind, it’s a total non-starter.
