Nonprofits can “own” for-profits.

One of the saner reasons for this structure is that the non-profit owns the things the for-profit works on. If the for-profit goes under, all things are still owned by the non-profit, so some large tech company can’t swoop in and yoink anything available.

This includes any and all data generated by the for-profit, which means your data is “safe”.

Soon, Firefox can block ads better than Chrome. Ads are annoying. I see Chrome losing at least a 5% of the market, if not more, to Firefox, just because they’re going to break uBlock Origin, and Firefox isn’t.

Because there’s going to be kids around here who have never seen this port (other than maybe on a Point Of Sale (POS) system?)

It’s babbies’ First Excel Sheet 😂

I remember fucking around with the same functionality and not understanding it, some 10 years ago. I guess this dood just found out about it too.

I hope you can install Firefox, because The Googs is pushing for Manifest v3, which means no more functional adblock.

Linux or bust, babyyyyyy

FYI: There’s a series too - can highly recommend

• Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex
• Ghost in the Shell: S.A.C. 2nd GIG
• Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex - Solid State Society

add “before:2023” to your search query

Just add before:2023 to your search query BTW.

For Keepass users: KeepassXC can read your keepass file just fine, but KeepassXC can also run on Linux, whereas Keepass runs only on Windows.

PiHole if you want it network-wide (also covers mobile devices and TVs) - hosts file if you only need to modify one machine.

Ooooh, there’s also nLite, if you wanted to make a custom version for yourself!

Those were fun times!

That reminded me of TinyXP - a modified version of Windows XP to be like some 100MB install, instead of the typical 2GB of default bloat.

Good shit.

It’s LTSC (Long Term Service Channel) nowadays - It’s the LTS version of Windows 10. Fewer updates, more stability of your OS in general. It’s neat!

No Windows Store by default, but it’s possible to install that separate, should you really need it.

And the link to OOSU10, in case anyone wants it: https://www.oo-software.com/en/shutup10

I use O&O ShutUp10++ (oosu10) to do the same thing. Makes Windows feel like Windows, instead of an ad machine.

Whenever people complain about ads I have NO idea what they’re talking about.

Edge will say it’s “maintained by your organization”, which seemed spooky, but that’s just a side-effect from having some privacy.

Now why would we stop calling Twitter, Twitter?

When do the Predators show up? :p

I don’t, mostly because I watched Asmongold talk about it, and now I feel weird playing with a female character online.

Though singleplayer I don’t feel any problems: Lara Croft, Rynn, Chell, Rayne, Jade - it’s all fine.

Maybe it’s just for customizable characters?

Can’t have Google kill Firefox, if Firefox does it first. Every few years they (IMO) fuck something up that makes me want to move away, but there’s no real alternative :/

Because Edge broke JSON files - I couldn’t search through an open JSON file anymore, because Edge decided to only partially load the file.

That’s nice and all, but stop fucking with my plain text. If I want to fuck with it, I can use my extensions, WHICH THEY DISABLED/BLOCKED…

So yeah, back to Firefox, and it’s been fine.
