Pizza the Hut!

If you’re too young to have a social media, you’re too young to be ON social media.

If your on desktop, here’s some unsolicited advice. If you’re on mobile, good luck…I’ve got nothing.

LPT: use unlock origin’s element picker to block any unwanted sections of youtube mixed into your feed.

“Premium” gone, “Shorts” gone, “Trending” gone, “Pay to watch” gone, “News” gone, “Survay” gone

LPT2: set a YouTube bookmark to go straight to your subscription page. This way you see the new videos you are most likely to care about first. No need to “hit the bell” and rely on notifications. When I’m caught up there, I’ll head over to home feed to see if there’s anything intresting.

LPT3: get the extention “Enhancer for YouTube”. There’s a ton of settings to basically set your playback defaults the way you like. I change the toolbar setting to " showin video playback bar" and auto expand" to get the various buttons to show up like the default ones. (The names of those setting is by memory).

“Unhook” is also good one for clearing out junk.

Lastly “DeArrow”, from the maker of SponsorBlock. This one crowd sources new video titles with the goal of replacing clickbait for an actual description of the video.

So did mozzila. Guess my point is, it doesn’t matter if they’ve for profit or not. Once any software company gets big enough, they turn to shit. Maybe not a universal truth, but it does seem to be a common one.

You can’t schedule RCS messages?

A basic features that has been around since the beginning of time of time is not included?

Yet here we are with the like of google, amazon, Microsoft and Apple ruining the tech space for everyone.

Mozzila is way out touch with users, its very unfortunate the direction they’ve been headed.

This sounds like a neat concept.

It’ll probably end up full of spam, bots and marketed b.s after a year, but it’ll be cool at first.

She was textfull

Sure we lost that particular job, but we also gained the job of driving around with a cam car collecting data. Then there’s who ever takes all those pictures and compiles them into street view. Sure its highly automated, but someone had to automate it…

Imgine what the hunters thought when they lost their jobs to farms.

Also rembered what community this was on after I typed all that out…

Not sure but my city refuses to tear some down old buildings for "historical prosperity. These aren’t even nice buildings, they’re all condemed generic concrete blocks.

Price is probably #1.

Bit of speculation here with no real sources ; There was a boom in late 2022 through 2023 when people could finally reliably get parts again. I’m guessing many who wanted to upgrade already did in the past 2 years. Anyone who got a new computer in 2020 onward should be fine for at least a few more years. I think the average is around 7 years.

The market will probably see a surge between 2027-2030 as people begin replacing their “covid era” computers.The market right now is mainly seeing anyone with a pre-covid computer who bought a nice top of line machine for about 1k. They’re looking at current pricing and choosing to go with today’s mid-low teir, which will outclass their old 201x top of the line computer.

Another factor could be AAA gaming hasn’t exactly been pumping out hit new tiles the last 5 years. People who wanted to play cyberpunk or Eldon ring already upgraded by the time Wukon came out.

With less new games requirng the latest and greatest means the need to upgrade is going drop too.

Again all speculation…

Na, that’s a total valid point. In school you could tell anyone who’s note book was a giant yellow soggy mess was not going to adjust well to adult life.

Must have been made by the same author of the windows file copy dialog.

I’d just play it safe, avoid anything that could remotely be considered “suspicious”.

If you can bring your own media, bring a few offline shows and movies, books or what ever else you like.

Otherwise stick to nonral websites.

Ramsey has some views that don’t align with everyone. The important thing to keep in mind is that America is so diverse, your neighbor could be a different religion and most of us (despite what media will lead you to belive) don’t give a fuck.

If I were to re-work the advice to be less extreme, I’d say don’t put your self in a finacial struggle trying to help your parents.

The feature exists on desktop, works great, but the setup is convoluted. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profile-manager-create-remove-switch-firefox-profiles There’s a way to make desktop shortcuts to easily pick profile, but I don’t remember how, it has been a few years since I needed profiles.

Wish they had something for mobile too, that would be huge. I use my phone for both work and personal stuff all the time, not my desktop.

Guys this a fake review from the zombies! Never let your gaurd down.

#1) “Hey bestie, I know a guy who will pay us to model for an ad about Canadian Oil.”

#2) “okay…”

#3) “okay, ladies this will be quick, put on these outfits.”

#2) “why do I get the skimpy one, are you sure this isn’t another porno?”

#1) “yes, I’m sure. He said its going on Facebook or something.”

#3) “Okay, now #2 lean over #1, get in real close like your about to kiss her”

#2) “…”

Thanks, I forgot about those. My brain was still in the early days when it was basically a kindle, a nook or questionable knock offs.

Is there a way to get hoopla on an e-reader? Assuming no… edit, forgot about the android ereaders. I would go for that + hoopla.

If you’re reading on a tablet or android e-ink, I’d probably go with Hoopla. If I had a Kindle, I’d have to go K Unlimited*. As for content, Kindle probably has more [citation needed], but hoopla has alot.

E-ink beats all for reading text, personally I can’t read books on a LCD screen. Tablet is great for picture books and comics.

Hoopla can be gotten free via library card, so that immediately gives then a +1 over Amazon.

Amazon has so many negatives, I hate to give them more money.

This next part is not really related to the question, so here’s the TLDR: personal anecdote about reading free public domain ebooks…

* I actually do have a kindle, but don’t do Unlimited.

Personally, I have found some great sources of public domain e-books. Reading classics for the sake of enjoyment and not a class has been great. I’ve found Most English books in the 1850-1920 era are easy to read. Sometimes I have to look up an odd word, but that not any different than new books.

I do buy a few modern ebooks I want, but probably 70% of my reading these days is free public domain stuff.

The ones I know of include;

Project Gutenberg - very large collection, formatting may vary. Some books are just walls of text with 0 line breaks or paragraph indents.

Standardebooks.org - takes public domain books from places such as Gutenberg and turns them into well formated ebooks.

Bookwise.io - more public domain books, but a web-reader formated specifically for mobile devices.

Lastly, if you or anyone reading this does decide to go the free-ebook route or buys them regularly - Calibe is the iTunes of eBook management. (But FOSS) https://calibre-ebook.com/
