The filetype: parameter can be used in most search engines, query can specify the file type you want to search for.
For example, if you would like to search for MKV files related to a particular topic, you could use the following query:

”topic name” filetype:MKV

This will return only results that are MKV and contain the keyword “topic name”.

You can also use other parameters like site:, inurl: or intitle: along with filetype to narrow down your search even further.

If your is device rooted, check the hosts file located at “/system/etc/hosts” If anyone has tampered with it, that’s unusual!

Otherwise, I recommend using a privacy-hardened browser such as Mull. www.f-droid.org/packages/us.spotco.fennec_dos/gitlab.com/divested-mobile/mull-fenix

For context, personally using ProtonVPN with a custom NextDNS for extra security.

Please do something about it!
Personally, I mostly listen to Instrumental/Vocal music since it has less psychological and informational warfare associated with it.

Q: How can music stimulate the brain?
A:

Music can stimulate your brain in several ways:

1. Emotional Response: Music can evoke strong emotions and feelings. Listening to music you enjoy can release dopamine, a neurotransmitter associated with pleasure and reward.
2. Memory: Music can trigger memories and associations. Certain songs or melodies may remind you of specific moments or experiences, which can activate your memory.
3. Improved Focus: Some people find that listening to music, particularly instrumental or ambient music, can enhance concentration and focus. This can be helpful for tasks that require sustained attention.
4. Stress Reduction: Calming music can reduce stress and anxiety. It can lower cortisol levels, a stress hormone, and promote relaxation.
5. Motor Skills: Playing a musical instrument involves coordination and motor skills, which can stimulate brain regions responsible for fine motor control.
6. Brain Plasticity: Learning to play an instrument or engaging with complex music can enhance brain plasticity, which refers to the brain’s ability to adapt and reorganize itself.
7. Enhanced Creativity: Music can inspire creative thinking. Composing, improvising, or simply listening to music can stimulate creative processes in the brain.
8. Social Connection: Making music with others, such as in a choir or band, can enhance social bonding and cooperation, which has cognitive benefits.
9. Language Development: Exposure to music in early childhood can support language development and literacy skills.
10. Cognitive Training: Some studies suggest that music-based cognitive training programs may improve cognitive functions, such as memory and problem-solving.

The effects of music on the brain can vary from person to person, but it’s clear that music can have a powerful influence on your mental and emotional state.

Use a Gmail account; they are quick to block users on the basis that it might be a “spam account”.

I have been using ProtonMail for a while with their service. The moment you log out for a while or don’t use the app often, the account becomes no longer accessible.

It’s about data mining; they’re greedy and corrupt!

Malvertising (a portmanteau of “malicious software (malware) advertising”) is the use of online advertising to spread malware.
It typically involves injecting malicious or malware-laden advertisements into legitimate online advertising networks and webpages.
Because advertising content can be inserted into high-profile and reputable websites, malvertising provides malefactors an opportunity to push their attacks to web users who might not otherwise see the ads, due to firewalls, more safety precautions, or the like.
Malvertising is “attractive to attackers because they ‘can be easily spread across a large number of legitimate websites without directly compromising those websites’.”
