Was on Namesilo. No complaints, save for the slow website. Changed to porkburn because it was a bit cheaper.
- Comment on Tidal’s subscription is getting simpler and cheaper — yes, you read that right 2 months ago:
I did the same (Nigeria) a few months ago for a family account. They have still to charge me anything for it. And the account is actually working anyway. I don’t know why. I also emailed them about this and they replied that everything is fine on their end… Well, thank you for the free account, Mr. Tidal.

FOSS replacement for GBoard, with multilanguage typing. Swype can be achieved by sideloading a lib directly from the app itself (read app description).
I didn’t find it significantly worse than GBoard.

Unless I’m missing something, magnets in headphones only emit very weak, static, fields, that have 0 effect on you.
- Comment on Microsoft in their infinite wisdom has replaced the Hide Desktop icon with Copilot. 2 months ago:
People don’t switch just because of some minor inconvenience (as if Linux didn’t have any) and outside of Lemmy/the Fediverse echo chamber very few people are concerned about privacy. They will switch (maybe) if the new tool works better for them than tge previous tool. Otherwise, why should they bother. Linux is my primary OS since many years, but it isn’t everybody’s cup of tea.
- Comment on Microsoft in their infinite wisdom has replaced the Hide Desktop icon with Copilot. 2 months ago:
Hey, just keep doing whatever you want. Just rest assured that virtually everybody is going to ignore you.
- Comment on Microsoft in their infinite wisdom has replaced the Hide Desktop icon with Copilot. 2 months ago:
Switch to Linux!
As a Linux user myself, let me tell you that telling people what they should/must do this is how you make people plainly ignore you and think you’re just an annoying person.
- Comment on i was fourth author in a mdpi paper and now i'm drowning in spam please help 2 months ago:
You are (somewhat) right… Publish or Perish is unfortunately true. Still, if I can avoid them in the future, I will. They look borderline predatory to me.
- Comment on i was fourth author in a mdpi paper and now i'm drowning in spam please help 2 months ago:
Yeah… And wait until they start spamming you you to review papers for them, or to participate in their Special Issues, or to be a Guest Editor… Such a shitty publisher, if you ask me.
- Comment on Mozilla lays off 60 people, wants to build AI into Firefox 2 months ago:
Ditto. FF/Mozilla community (especially the /r/firefox mods), along with the nonsense changes to FF, are a big reason why I decided to leave FF after 20 years and use something else. At the moment, I couldn’t care less about Mozilla future.

- Comment on There are two kinds of people on earth: peope who are stupid and people who know they are stupid. What kind are you? 2 months ago:
I know I’m a stupid. But at least 50% of humanity is probably more stupid, so…

- Comment on It’s Surprisingly Easy to Live Without an Amazon Prime Subscription 3 months ago:
Well, this is exactly what I do sometimes. And not only for Amazon, but for quite a lot of local marketplaces.
- Comment on Why are there so many cracked software spam posts in the last few days? 3 months ago:
I’m sick of them, as well. I keep reporting/blocking but these fuckers keep making accounts on different instances.

- Comment on Kagi search engine releases a "lens" to search lemmy/kbin instances 4 months ago:
It’s free just because someone else pays for you (I’m one of them, I own one of the instances at searx. space). Unless you host you own instance.
Th anti-Brave stupidity is getting out of hand.
