Check out Pihole. It’s a network filtering tool. It runs on a raspberry pi. You can access it via ssh (command line) or webgui (local LAN web interface.) You can leave the raspberry pi hooked up to your router headless (meaning not hooked up to a display). Pihole is fun to mess around with. You can block all sorts of bullshit, such as ads on smart tvs/devices and stuff like that. It won’t block youtube ads though since those are served from the main youtube domain. You need ublock origin for that. Same with Twitch. Everything else basically you can block though.

It’s definitely concerning the way it’s going. I’ll say that much. I really hope that doesn’t happen.

I’m all for shitting on bad decisions by mozilla but pretty sure there has been zero mention of ads in the actual browser itself. I think you are making shit up. Your response sounds like pure emotion.

Wow fucking rip

I’ll try to respond below. Lemme know what you think:

Consoles:

Need to upgrade every 5-7 years if you want to play new games on next gen consoles. Can play your old games indefinitely.

PC:

Need to upgrade every 5-7 years if you want to play new games that are more demanding and require next gen parts. Can play your old games indefinitely.

In terms of playing new games on an old PC, try playing cyberpunk on a PC from 2013 (7 years prior to CP77 release in 2020). You’ll get like 2 fps. Not even playable.

So to conclude, sure, you can try to play new games on your old ass PC, but it’ll run like crap and won’t be a good experience.

Edit: just to clarify, my opinion is from the perspective of someone who wants to play new demanding games. If you play super easy to run new indie games, then yea I agree with your point. Added benefit of PC is the ability do that indefinitely.

I’ve never heard of this so yes.

True, but that’s just more of an added benefit of PC. I have to assume the vast majority of people who build PCs for games have the desire to play new games that come out. There may be a few people who build PCs with only the desire to play old games. But i don’t think that is the majority.

Plus if someone doesn’t want new games then they wouldn’t need or care to upgrade their console from one gen to a next. So i don’t think that’s relevant in this discussion.

That’s not really a good comparison. After 5-10 years you’re going to need a PC upgrade as well if you want to keep up with current game tech and run games at high settings. That can easily cost $700. Remember, consoles are usually mid-range computers.

It’s not?

Exactly.

When they needed PA to win the election.

I don’t understand the logic to exclude it. That just makes the user count grossly inaccurate.

Eh, i doubt it’s that. Every other website is doing the same shit.

Likely it’s just that Lemmy has a fraction of the content/activity that Reddit has, so people probably just came to Lemmy, got bored, and went back to Reddit, ha.

ClearURL extension for Firefox (might also be on Chrome) should remove that automatically when visiting a link. Also Firefox has a “copy without tracking” option as well when right clicking a link.

Edit: also uBlock origin has a filter list to clean links, however I find it doesn’t capture everything that ClearURL does.

Interesting thanks. Appreciate the interesting information. Thanks for taking the time to type that out.

Huh? What do you mean metabolism is barely different between people? Some people are fat naturally even with a decent diet and some people are skinny af regardless of what they eat. What do you mean there is no or little difference? There is large variability in metabolism speed between people. I know multiple people who are skinny and do not put on weight regardless of diet. If I’m wrong lemme know but that’s how I see it.

I don’t believe that most women don’t like skinny guys. That’s likely just BS. I have no idea what kind of girls OP is asking out. Maybe he’s asking the super hot biddy girls who only wanna date bros from the jersey shore? No idea. But that just doesn’t seem accurate. Perhaps the girls really have another reason and are trying to come up with an excuse. I have no idea.

OP, if you wanna put on a little muscle mass without getting super into weight lifting, just do pushups/planks/other easy shit every day whenever you have a free minute. Merely doing that will add some muscle definition and make you appear a bit less skinny. You’ll notice some obvious results after a few months. You don’t have to go ham into weight lifting, unless you want to.

Also, you may have a fast metabolism OP. If so, you’ll be fucking happy when you’re older and all of your friends are fat - and you’re still skinny ;-).

Just pretend you’re an actor. You know the lines. You’ve practiced it. Now act dammit!

Joke’s on them. I played Soma during Covid…

Oh. Could have fooled me. My mistake.
