The update without fail tells me it doesn’t work due to non-standard folders being present. So, I delete ‘temp’. After the upgrade is done, it tells me that ‘temp’ is missing and required.

Other than that it’s quite stable though… Unless you dare to have long file names or folder depths.

He did only like 5 videos in total or something though. The Jeff Bezos boat is bloody hilarious as well. This guy is absolutely unhinged.

Half of the channel you mention here were listed in the thread about youtubers who went to shit, which triggered this one here…

Yeah he talks like he’s on coke now. Borderline unwatchable. I bet you can reduce the playback speed by 50% and it would de-stress the whole experience.

Why? That’s how it has been done for almost 2 decades before emojis became a standard.

What is your unpopular flim opinion

I’ll go first. Mine is that I can’t stand the Deadpool movies. They are self aware and self referential to an obnoxious degree. It’s like being continually reminded that I am in a movie. I swear the success of that movie has directly lead to every blockbuster having to have a joke every 30 seconds

I was with you in the first paragraph.

In the second I wanted to differentiate between the original trilogy and whatever came next.

In the third one, my opinion is directly opposite.

Do you know sorted foods on youtube? They have a bunch of different series, one where they do just that, going in alphabetical order from A-Z and then drawing a random country starting with that letter, and then cooking the national dish plus some community recommendations. It’s quite fun!

Low stakes would be getting back into a study routine, I want to improve my Norwegian. I’m quite proficient but plateaued at some point and stopped putting any effort in.

That sounds like an awesome idea, I might steal that! Thanks for the inspiration! ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ

Is anyone still playing Xonotic? I used to play Nexuiz back before they sold the name, and tried Xonotic recently, only to find servers with maximum one other player idling around. I genuinely thought it’s dead.

Is there any specific use case for the app that you don’t get with the mobile website?

I’ve figured out that my bank’s app is basically a wrapper for the mobile website, the only thing they added being fingerprint login.

Instantly deleted the app and use the website now, one less thing that can potentially spy on me.

Help me choose my mobile browser

As per title, Help me choose a browser for android I have non rooted device. After all the researches I found best for me would be 1: Mull but with Some way for knowing which site have saved any data on my device (Maybe by extension or some defined page like about:config type) But as per my research I do not found any such...

Interesting, I’ll look deeper into that. They have an adblocking engine as well though and catch a few random ones uBlock doesn’t, so I’m not totally convinced they are fully redundant.

Yes, and I do, and yet there are still some escapees. Might be a fringe case as I live in Asia, but at least for me it serves a purpose.

You can delete cookies and data on a per-site basis, and advanced tracking protection prevents any nefarious websites from exploiting your browser. That’s all I care for.

@viking@infosec.pub avatar

Right, I’ll look into that. Thanks!

No, I’m talking about Firefox. Fennec, that is, but the key functions are all the same.

It’s not in the settings however, you need to open the site in question and press the lock icon in the address bar next to the URL, the context menu there allows to delete cookies and site specific data.

Following the pro-Mull comments here I’ve given it a try for a solid 48h, and just reverted back to Fennec. Mull is simply restricting the user experience too much, and I’m not willing to make the sacrifice.

My biggest annoyances:

  1. Websites don’t get information about dark mode from my device and revert back to light mode by default.
  2. Websites don’t get information about the system time on my phone and deliver content based on GMT+0.
  3. Some websites get wrong (or none?) information about the screen resolution and are unusable.

I’m aware that those details are suppressed to avoid fingerprinting, and while I believe that the intention is good, it makes using my phone more cumbersome, and that’s not something I’m willing to do. So my choices at this point are basically to keep using Mull and deactivate the advanced fingerprinting protection, or use Fennec as before.

Fennec (Firefox based), with Ghostery and uBlock origin installed.

You’ll have to set add-ons up as a private collection for them to work, but it’s easy as pie.

Videos from Amazon Prime, Netflix etc., not general videos. I can watch 4k videos in Firefox without any problems, if there’s no rights management in place.

I think Edge is the only browser on Linux that can display 1080p videos, not even chromium does.

But yeah I won’t install Edge, ever.

Every proper restaurant is unique. I believe you are talking about fast-food joints.
