I think the fact that GNOME extensions break/need to be updated with each DE upgrade is a great reason to pick KDE over GNOME.

do you remember which one? hope it wasn't bitwarden :/

how about making it harder for them to stop a nicotine addiction, or get support after experiencing sexual assault?

if by "DOTA FPS" you mean their new MOBA Deadlock, AFAIK it's not related to DOTA in any way.

don't bring them to a protest, simple :)

wow. that almost perfectly summed up my thoughts about modern technology and its intentions.

Relevant XKCD: https://xkcd.com/1031/

I used to feel the same way until I actually watched a Formula E race. The racing is incredibly close at times (I think last race had a 3 wide finish for the podium), and features like Fan boost make for a really engaging overall experience

Then switch to a different one, the point of a federated network is that anyone is able to talk to anyone, not that they have to.

Seconding this, I had no idea the site wasn't the official manual until now!

So don't install the app. Simple as that, if the developer wanted you to be a user of their app, they'd have put it on the App Store too.

I trust a company that stands to only gain a profit from me using their products just as little as the state I reside in, if not less.

When I open an .apk file from a new application for the first time, I get a popup that asks me if I want to allow installations from unknown sources for this app, with a button that directly takes me to the setting to toggle this, and then immediately allows me to install the application.

Side loading on android is laughably easy, probably easier than installing a program on a Windows device. If we can consider the installers that Windows users need to use to get something as simple as Chrome installed easy to use, downloading an .apk file and opening it and pressing install should seem trivial by comparison.

Yeah, the London Hackspace lost their building as it was being demolished for new development in the area. They're currently trying to rebuild in a temporary location in Park Royal for anyone interested: https://wiki.london.hackspace.org.uk/view/London_Hackspace

Not everyone runs Linux, and not every browser has a reader mode. This should not be the solution. There should definitely be an option to disable all these features, especially the dark mode toggle, that one's a fun premise, but horrific for usability.

Apparently Truecrypt has had development shut down in 2014 and the devs are now telling people to migrate to Bitlocker as it may be insecure: https://truecrypt.sourceforge.net/

Arguably, Google was probably a odd name for a search engine to people in the 90s that weren't maths-savvy.

Might I also add: https://youtu.be/aVwxzDHniEw?feature=shared Which works through them from first principles with beautiful animations.

Personally I use UnHook to completely hide all recommendations, merch/music/offers/etc. ads, replace the default homepage with the subscriptions page and generally clean the UI:

In addition, I use the Stylus extension with a custom stylesheet to restore the UI to the roughly pre-2016 look. This has allowed me to essentially treat my Youtube experience as a RSS feed viewer, which I feel is a much healthier experience.

However, by doing this you do lose out on the discovery factor that Youtube is known for.

See DeArrow:

Created by the same developer as the wonderful SponsorBlock extension.

Replaces titles and thumbnails from videos with community-sourced, click-bait free versions.

> thoughtful longer content

I think that's the important bit.

Long form content that is artifically long does exist (see the trend of making videos exactly 10 mins or longer to maximise ad revenue).

But on the other end of the spectrum some of the best content I've watched on YouTube have had longer runtimes than some movies.

For every thousand click-baity creators on video platforms there are always a handful of people producing truly thoughtful, interesting content.

Apologies, I have edited my previous comment.

Did you even read the article?

More heat and CO2 means a higher sea level, which will lead to the loss of arable land, not gain

Care to give a reason as to why?
