Add Noscript extension, it will stop a lot of junk loading and data stealing, the trade off is you specifically have to allow certain scripts to run for functionality of the page
- Comment on What sort of grill needs a firmware update lol 5 days ago:
If you are into that: then tplink kasa switches and plugs can be reconfigured via hs100 app on git hub, so that they only look local and don’t try to reach out to a remote server. You can use the app to connect them to your local WiFi. Then you can control them via home assistant locally (or remotely) and not rely on a corporate server and android app for use

You may want to consider closing the group and making it by approval only. I had commented before not realizing women only posts may have also meant no comments also. Hard to prove who is who online though.
- Comment on How to view and edit photos on windows without leaving a trace? 4 weeks ago:
I don’t use Windows. There was even a time for Work where our enterprise CAD/CAM had a Linux version and I could run Linux on my workstation. Sadly they removed the GUI support, so we still can use it for batch processing CAD data, and the PLM system still has Linux

Yeah, no point supporting something that has become obsolete. Foss community often puts effort in as passion, but a business will not want technical debt and move on to the next hardware support
- Comment on Spicy food never affects my gut and everyone thinks it's really weird. How unusual is this and what could be happening to explain why spicy food doesn't affect me? 4 weeks ago:
I don’t suffer the trots from spicy food. If I make a Thai Curry I will put 5 Thai chillies in it. Could just be what my body is used to, but could also be people who struggle might be combo of not used to spice in their system and not eating a lot of veg or iber then have an Indian lentil meal or something?

Windows11 is trying to do just that; having a minimum spec chip, so they could eventually drop support for a lot of older hardware. But PCs are so modular that you can pretty much add any hardware together and the OS (such as Linux) can figure out the packages you need to make it all run…but even Linux has dropped a lot of 32bit support in the last few years. So it happens, just at a much longer time frame

Ha. Meaning we aren’t ground floor or top floor, we are sandwiches between two other floors. Barely need to add heat aince we share all the heat that the building has

You usually have to go barefoot to get traction while not ruining the membrane with shoes. From your breathing the ball gets humid and sweaty inside, they end up stinking like feet. You hope you are the first person to use it at an event and not the last
- Comment on Should these be mandatory in public? 5 weeks ago:
If you like the smell of feet
- Comment on xkcd #3099: Neighbor-Source Heat Pump 5 weeks ago:
Same. We live between two floors. Heat rarely is put on, because stove, fridge and dishwasher are enough to supplement what the sandwiched apartments floors already provide

Our neighbour sometimes hangs out with us, we are mid 50, they are 30. We are younger minded and they are older than their age, like they go home and knit etc.
