@kaia The sad thing is, that their goal is probably not to make adblocking impossible (which would trigger backlash), but to make it inconvenient enough, that the average user will "decide" not to bother.
If you browse fedi on graphene and know how to bypass manifest-v3, you don't make a difference in their statistics.
Lite is great, but the filter-limit and updatability nerfs it.
@lain A friend in the UK excitedly told me that he got authentic German Bratwurst from the international corner and was baking them in the oven. :floofWoozy:
At my distress, he told me that getting a pan with oil would have been too much work.
@kaia Maybe one of the scams, where they hand out 5 bucks in gift cards for every 5 star review from a customer. Had a card to that effect in a package once.
@kaia This isn't advice, but for stuff that is baked at a decent temperature for 15+ minutes and becomes quite dry, I always wonder if it's actually about microbes.
Freezer stuff for example, usually doesn't go bad when it expires, but loses texture and taste. Basically it means it will no longer be the experience the manufacturer intended.
@kaia Be right back, have to write a telemetry free, alternate frontend for Kaia's posts. It was only a matter of time until Brotka.st shareholders would introduce tracking. :ElainaSmh:
@kaia Don’t know about “broken”, but “EOL/Unsupported” business stuff gets hauled off by the container-load. I worked in a company with a lot of tech, next to the supply room. Stuff like Monitors, Network-devices, or full desktops would show up in the hallway. Thrown into big unsecured rolling cubbies, before getting picked up by the recycling-provider. Happened about 1-2 times a year and since it was a hallway most employees would go through (behind the ID-check, so not public), stuff would go missing all the time and it was secretly intended to. The desktops would be missing their harddrives obviously, those were processed for data-protection. But the networking stuff came with all kinds of interesting configs. The most noteworthy thing was probably an original Mac mini a colleague pulled.
Some people did ebay the desktops as “not working” for 50 bucks a piece without drives, but it was frowned upon. If you find an office desktop for sale without drives, it’s probably “stolen”-goods in this manner.
