AtmaJnana,

Homebrew recently broke for me permanently on a macbook because it was made in 2013 and is now blocked from upgrading, so xcode no longer can be upgraded…Which means lots of other shit also no longer works. Including homebrew. Soon have to put a distro on it, I guess.

AtmaJnana,

Based on BaSeD. Try and keep up.

OP can’t use adaway or AFWall+ without root.

I’m in the same boat as OP (I have a device without root for the first time in a long time) and I miss both apps. I do use a pihole+VPN for what adaway does. But there’s no real replacement for AFWall/iptables without root. As pointed out, though, you can block individual apps in some modern versions of android. Fortunately, I have that.

AtmaJnana,

I’m on Android 13 and I have it. Your ROM probably has it disabled.

AtmaJnana,

Samsung doesn’t want you blocking their spyware pointless apps.

lets say they were bought by big evil corp

Is this an intentional joke? (I often miss jokes so I am asking seriously)

Authy was bought ages ago by Twillio, which also owns Segment (customer data platform)… So Twilio may not be all that big, but they’re fairly big players in the tracking and ads space. Which I loathe.

I’m in this thread because I want to move away from Authy for this very reason.

💯

I almost opted to move my parents to use Linux instead of Windows because of how much time I was spending on fixing the malware and viruses they’d get. Then enter Windows Defender.

Now all I have to deal with is when they get the occasional scam call… “Yes, it’s Bob from Microsoft, you need to wire us $900 to fix a virus.”

AtmaJnana,

I think they’re probably just young and enthusiastic. I was like that about linux 20 years ago when I had the energy for it.

AtmaJnana,

You can upgrade parts , but not the OS.

AtmaJnana,

Many pirates will pay for newsgroup access. People also pay for hard drive space, power for servers, hardware, etc. Pirating doesn’t mean people are never paying for anything. That said, I won’t pay for subtitles. I’ll just wait til the community figures something else out.

AtmaJnana,

If you want to make money hand-over-fist , you can’t shy away from the “normies.” IMO, using “normies” unironically is way more cringe.

AtmaJnana,

yeah, I do still buy from Chinese companies sometimes, but only if they are smart enough to use a name that doesn’t sound like someone just used a random password generator and said “good enough”… or … whatever the Cantonese equivalent of “good enough” is, I suppose.

AtmaJnana,

(uhm, ackshually…) Toads are a type of frog. Better lick them all, just to be sure.

AtmaJnana,

Your framing is wrong. They know some people have preferences. They just don’t care because emojis drive engagement, which drives revenue for many of them.

How do I reduce the squeaking of my faux leather sofa?

I’ve got a (faux) leather sofa (not sure how to tell difference). Sitting on it or moving around makes the leather rub together and squeak a LOT. It wouldn’t bother me but I live in an upstairs flat so I get paranoid if it’s late at night and I move on the sofa it’s “CREEESQUEEEEEEEUUUURRRR”....
