Big fuck you to the Belgian govt who detected my developer settings being on and blocked their app from working...

Didn't find anything from me... Then again I'm using a private tracker, which should insulate me from that. (Random people knowing, the ISP probs does know... But I don't think they care)

There's a way to remove ads from the music streaming app (on Android or any platform that can emulate it) using Xmanager

Problem with that is that you need advertisers to buy into that idea too... And I don't think anyone's gonna say "ah yeah for sure they'll listen to my ad" if it's in a 30 min block.

Btrfs works with different hard drive sizes, with 1 disk failure with no data loss.

Developers deserve to be paid for their time though...

Sure for many it's nothing but a hobby and they're happy to create something for free. But that doesn't mean every developer needs to do the same.

And yes ads are a privacy nightmare and putting them into your app is bad. So either you only use apps from hobbyists or you pay for access (whether that be a set price for a finished product or a subscription for a service).

It's always been a thing that the only way to completely be safe after malware is yeeting the old system and getting a new one...

And even then there have been actively exploited issues where the system gets re-infected when reloading the data from a backup. (My memory is a bit rusty on that one, but it was just data being restored, nothing that should install anything)

Does rounding up to the nearest 5 (when reasonable) count because I don't like coins?

Be the change you want to see in the world 😉

What's with all the ads here lately

[–] FierySpectre@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Wait, that's illegal
