Thanks, you have saved me the time of trying it again.

Does KDE connect actually work with SMS on Windows now? Last time I used it, I couldn’t text people, only reply using the notification if they texted me and I happened to click on it quickly enough. Pretty useless.
If Microsoft was a smaller company, this would completely ruin them and the next headline would be them declaring bankruptcy after failing to fight off 50,000 lawsuits. Fortunately for them, laws don’t apply to companies their size.
Firefox can open PDFs and I’m not sure about the desktop versions, but the Android version is 117MB.
You can bet your ass they paid a lot of money to get their malware on your computer. It should be illegal to load consumer hardware with 3rd party bloatware that can’t be removed.
It’s illegal to not identify an ad as an ad (unless you’re a movie maker, but that’s a different topic). All ad blockers need to do is read that indicator. That might not be super simple, but I have faith in the abilities of the brilliant people behind many ad-blocking technologies.
Myanmar’s average internet speed looks to be around 10-20mbps, so they probably stream with lower quality. Their GDP per capita is ~$1,150, so ads being shown to people in Myanmar wouldn’t be worth much anyway.
Oh ok :(
As it is now, only people who read about it or live there and try to find the song will ever even know about the block. If Google refused and was kicked out of Hong Kong, just about every single citizen would notice and the government would have to explain precisely why they decided to ban all Google services over a song about freedom. I don’t think the people in charge would last long if that happened, considering how integral Google’s services are to many people’s lives.
I got a laptop with an HDD a while back because I’m an idiot “more storage space hurr durr!”
It took 10-15 minutes to boot and another 5-10 just to open a web browser when it was running Windows 10. Even once stuff was open, everything was so laggy that it wasn’t really usable. I’d miss a solid chunk of whatever we were supposed to be doing on our laptops in class when I was using it for that.
Linux changed EVERYTHING. It boots in just a couple of minutes and only needs a minute or two to settle itself before things start running smoothly. I even managed to play Hollow Knight on it with no lag!
People don’t realize how bloated Windows is until they try Linux. If your computer is slow and was made in the last 10 years, no it isn’t, your OS is.
Orb of Enhancement?
Those are both solutions that only work sometimes and for the former, you have no way of knowing if it worked unless you actually listen to the result. Having to download the podcast twice is also rather undesirable.
Detecting the ads directly would be hard. The real way to do this would be to mark segments of *non-*advertisement and then send the information necessary to identify them to the client so that it can scan through the downloaded audio file and remove anything that shouldn’t be there. The algorithm would still be pretty complicated, but feasible.
It’s not even just the technical barriers. Lemmy has technical barriers and still works fine. Matrix is soooooo fucking SSSSSSLLLLLLOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWW. A simple chat program that takes longer to load a channel than it takes for my aging PC to boot an AAA game is simply unusable. This is 2024, not 1994.

It literally happened in the US with period tracker app data getting subpoenaed in a state with an abortion ban.
