How avoid microplasics?
  • As a resident in a pretty rural area you might want to avoid moving to rural areas due to increased cancer rates due to pesticide use and poor water conditions. But don't you worry about our poor corporations that are wrecking shit, our lovely governer passed legislation that prevents people from suing them. though her and the corporations assure us there is nothing to worry about. They pinky sweared and everything.

    F-Droid exploring to include paid apps, in-apps, subscription, and ads in app
  • YES. So many good apps that get abandoned. Donations are all well and good but I suspect they only really pay well for the high profile apps. If a paid app will keep a Dev motivated to keep it updated I am all for it.

    Subscription apps can go fuck themselves though. (Charge me for the upgrades instead).

    MyPillow Man Mike Lindell Ordered to Pay Legal Fees for Guy Who Proved Him Wrong at ‘Prove Mike Wrong’ Event
  • Dude won the pillow lottery and could have coasted through the rest of his life all of us could only dream of. But then he had to open his mouth and take it to 11.

    Small tip for you folks that somehow make it big selling shit to the public. Whether you're right or left, best to keep it to yourself publicly. Certainly don't go all in on an idiot that sprays Cheeto dust all over his face and does who fucking knows what to his hair.

    #StopKillingGames update: Finland just passed the threshold.
  • The amount of work he is putting into this is really impressive. Being from the US it kind of sucks to see his play out in every country but ours. Is 'merica just a lost cause or is there something else we can do here?

    Galaxy Z Fold 6 Review: Genuinely good, especially if you ignore the competition
  • I use NextDNS and still run across this all the time on my tablet. In cases where it's an ad that got filtered it usually leaves empty margins down the sides so the content is still limited to 1/3 of the screen. Other times the area is technically not an ad... But is just click bait shit. Other times it's just random stuff.

    I've had some luck using Firefox. With UBlock Origin I can sometimes filter the sections out using their content zapper. With the Stylus extension I have had luck finding custom filters for some sites... But that works until that site updates their HTML a bit and then I start getting random weirdness.

    Don't know... It's just something I notice a lot when browsing the web on my tablet (and on the fold when I had it) and find to be a nuisance.

    My Privacy Setup
  • You get all of simplelogin with unlimited. There is a way to convert your login so you won't lose your setup. And I BELIEVE that it prorated any unused time you had left on your simplelogin account, so you would get credit for the 3 months you have left when you convert it... But not 100% positive on that, check with support. But I do know when I converted mine a few days before simplelogin was going to expire I was charged for a new month of service with some credit applied. So there is a process.

    IMO if you're using proton mail, and simple logon anyway and want a VPN then unlimited is kind of a no brainer. It works pretty great for me.

    Galaxy Z Fold 6 Review: Genuinely good, especially if you ignore the competition
  • I liked my fold 3 but the screen protector was a pain in the ass especially since I live in a rural area. The closest place that could install new ones was 3 hours away. I attempted it twice and they had bubbles both times. A friend just removed her protector and 3 months later she had the black line going down the center of the screen. Foldables just seem a little too fragile to me.

    Also was kind of annoying because websites and apps would detect the wider screen and add a column down the side of the screen - featuring ads usually. Kind of a kick in the nuts to spend $1500 for a larger screen just to get more ads.

    That said, I kind of miss being able to run split screen with apps. It was handy to keep a messaging app on the right side of the screen while I browsed the web on the other.

    Ex-Porsche Lawyer Sentenced After Throwing Her Newborn Out Window So It Wouldn't Disrupt Her Career
  • Sure that was my initial impression too, but I think I am going to sleep on it and maybe take some polls or study the matter more deeply. Can't be too rash when judging someone for tossing a baby out of a window.

    YouTube Seems to Be Cracking Down on a VPN-Powered Discount
  • Force the creator to flag the sponsor section and then filter it out. Then compensate the creator for the view using the $17 premium subscription.

    YouTube Seems to Be Cracking Down on a VPN-Powered Discount
  • Generally an Unpopular opinion

    You're 100% correct though. Sponsors are exactly (long) ads and I have no personal problem skipping them after paying $17 a month for premium. If a creator has a problem with that they should take it up with Google. I'm paying for ad free, and that's what I expect.

    If sponsorblock breaks I will be reevaluating my premium sub. Not that it will have a meaningful impact on Google or anything, but I'm just fucking sick of ads and am not going to pay to remove them and still get ads delivered to me.

    Android 15 can automatically delete your face or fingerprint unlock if they aren't working well
  • Don't know how I feel about this. I already get sick of the security prompts every three days to manually enter my passcode. If Google starts just deleting them and making me redo them might just fucking go back to the passcode. Hope it's optional or it at least prompts you before deleting an old one. Not really trusting Google get it right.

    McDonald’s will stop testing AI to take drive-thru orders, for now
  • Checking in from Iowa and I have the option here too when I hit the customize button. I do have to scroll down a bit?

    You might try uninstalling and reinstalling. If on android, clear your settings before the uninstall. The mcdee app does tend to be kind of unpredictable.

    If that doesn't work, send an email to them. I actually did email on some problem I had and they responded pretty quick with a temp workaround and fixed it later.
