I meant the curved sides of the front screen. The metal is just scratched.

Still using the S9 with only the back and sides cracked. Only put 50€ into replacing the battery and jack. This has got to last until 2027 at least until replaceable batteries hopefully become a thing again.

I’ve been a long time FF user, and if I encounter a buggy site I just wouldn’t use it. Only problematic site is fucking Teams, and since I can’t just stop using it, I’ll switch to brave for the meeting and right back to FF after.

In my city there is a T intersection where the top part of the T is a busy road with a traffic light and I once saw some kids pressing the button as a “joke” when they are not even crossing. Usually its always green but if it turns red it causes a huge lineup of cars, especially during rush hour.

I found FreeTube just recently and I really like it so far. It’s a desktop app that uses electron and the Invidious API. It supports 1080p and is really snappy, at least for me. https://freetubeapp.io

Tracking can be disabled

Tracking is one of the main reasons I switched to Linux. You simply can’t know if Microsoft is tracking you, even if you turn off all of the settings. That is because it’s closed source.

Bloatware can be uninstalled manually/Winget/Chris Titus Tech Tools etc

Apart from this beeing exclusive to advanced users, in my experience, after updates or at least a reinstall you would have to do it again. And that was just getting on my nerves.

I never get Ads on Windows

That doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen for anyone else.

Look, maybe Linux is just not for you I get that. You’ve come accustomed to Windows and are happy with how it works for you. But for some people it might be a good choice. To give an example from my own life:

I recently installed Debian 12 KDE (looks like windows) on my step dads laptop. He is not technically inclined at all mind you. And apart from setting up auto mounting his ssd, I never had to give him tech support again after that and he is very happy with it.

Currently in the process of installing Lineageos on my brothers redmi note 10 pro.

Its a huge pain compared to my phone, mainly because unlocking the bootloader requires an account with his number connected. Then I had to install Windows to use their shitty unlock app, which the requires you to wait up to 30 days for seemingly no reason. Luckily “just” a week for us.

But yeah the hardware is amazing.

Tuta

If you just want to change your IP, there is no reason to use Mullvad. If you care about your privacy Mullvad is great. You can pay in xmr or even in cash by mail.

Doesn’t make sense tho, why would they advertise on lemmy of all places. It’s so niche…

Are you actually using beet juice? I would recommend sand, fine gravel or something else that prevents slipping.

I was curious so I looked it up. OP’s account seems to be deleted so I found it here.

Also tried getting into it. I put ~10 hours in but I just played less and less every day until I stopped entirely. One thing I never really got used to was the camera controls for example.

But I also played alone, so I think this game is more fun with friends.

This definitely applies to me. I had a Reddit account for 5-6 years, but never made a single post and only wrote a handful of comments. I just feel more comfortable interacting here.

There is a distinction. Dark web is usually associated with the Tor network. Deep web is stuff you can’t access normally, like your email or someones Onlyfans.

I think she actually meant dark web tho.

Also a bit confused by this. I thought the point of searxng is to combine your preferred search engines. So couldn’t I just configure ddg for the image results?

Get a sharpening stone, brand doesn’t matter imo. I have one with 1000 grid for rough sharpening and 6000 grid for making it really sharp. It does require some learning tho.

Products and services that hide/remove that tattoo would skyrocket. Tattoo removal places would probably become super rich.

Nice way of leaking your illegal activities lmao
