  Whilst I agree the technology is awesome, £2,000 for a phone, wow, no thanks.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Proton Mail says that the new Outlook app for Windows is Microsoft's new data collection service⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  What especially galled me was as I was updating my laptop before flashing to Linux the new outlook will not work unless edge installed, I had just uninstalled that pile of garbage.

  Ah well, at least pop_os works great 😃

  Here’s a link that’s not behind a pay wall link to archive

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google maps adding sponsored detours⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Interestingly 28th Dec is el Día de los inocentes un Spain, they’re equivalent of April Fools, so it’s possible it’s that

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google maps adding sponsored detours⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Both great ideas but they’re not available to android auto, I’d need an alternative that can load in android auto

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Firefox for Android now supports over 450 add-ons⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  My tablet is my laptop replacement so I tend to use it on the same way with a mouse and keyboard and want AC close to laptop functionality as possible, pretty much all other browsers have that functionality, except firefox.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Firefox for Android now supports over 450 add-ons⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes as a bloated phone UI. It doesn’t support tabs which almost every other browser does.

  Of course it can run in a tablet but it’s not a great use experience

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Firefox for Android now supports over 450 add-ons⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  And yet still no tablet support 😭

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube warns it might make your viewing experience worse if you don't turn off your ad-blocker⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  They couldn’t possibly make the experience than it already is without an ad blocker.

  No adblock = No youtube

  Ad-free != Privacy

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mozilla tells extension developers to get ready to finally go mobile⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe also try making Firefox tablet compatible like almost every other browser.

  Currently it’s just a bloated phone UI on tablet, it’s the one thing stopping me from using as my daily browser on mobile devices.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you feel, as I do, that this adblocker ban by Youtube will harm all of Alphabet's companies? [discussion]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  YT Premium is not available in my location and, as yet, adblock still working fine.

  When they catch up with my location I’ll use either revanced or LibreTube.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there an effective way to remove trackers from apps?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I use DNS ad/tracker blocking on android.

  I use either libredns or MullvadDNS

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I have never seen an ad in the past 6 years. I use android phone, windows PC and Android TV. Keen to hear when was the last time you saw an AD ?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  On android Revanced is best option, or stream via website on a browser with adblock.

  If you don’t care about the algorithm the NewPipe or LibreTube are great.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is anyone else getting server issues?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Seem to be having a lot of timeouts recently.

  At first I thought it was the app (Thunder) bit have the same lag on the website.

  It seems to be very random and intermittent though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Meta Plans to Charge $14 a Month for Ad-Free Instagram or Facebook⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I think this will be aimed at mainly EU members after a law banning targeted advertising (without explicit consent) comes in which will mean a reduction in ad revenue to Meta, as a result they’re hoping to make up the shortfall by charging users for an ad-free version.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Desalination system could produce freshwater that is cheaper than tap water⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Not from Israel but our entire water system is desalinated and I’ve never experienced any issue with the taste, in fact the opposite is true. Pure clean drinking water.

  I will agree with the hardness aspect but other than that it’s perfectly good, i’ve tasted worse bottled mineral water.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Online Ads Can Infect Your Device with Spyware⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  No solution is perfect but could a DNS based solution with a privacy browser is as good as I can get on mobile devices without not connecting to the internet at all.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Online Ads Can Infect Your Device with Spyware⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Or offload them at the DNS so they dont even get to the device in the first instance.
