fwiw in the future you can find out the path to your drives and their uuid if needed with

lsblk -f

OK. I’m not claiming google isn’t trying. I’m claiming it doesn’t matter, and this is a solvable problem for end users. Most others in this thread are saying just FF and ublock does it, so I probably have overkill going on.

I only know this is happening with Youtube recently because of seeing other people talk about it.

FWIW, with Firefox on Linux with pihole on my network and ublock origin, some component (or the mix) of those things seems to have meant that so far I have yet to experience a single one of the things Google has been doing since the adblock wars began again. I just checked now to see if there was any delay, and there is not.

I haven’t seen a single popup, nor a single warning, no slowdowns, and no ads. I installed freetube in preparation for getting screwed, and although I like it, ad-wise and speed-wise it’s no different than hitting youtube directly.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Plasma 5 made me a KDE user and fanboy. I am super excited to see what 6 will bring.

KDE team, you rock.

Wow man. I wrote, “Sheesh.”

And you got AAAAAALLLL this:

Scientists actually studying the issue:

“Not sure. We studying the issue.”

Lemmy:

“But I FEEL it’s harmful! I’ve done my research!”

Antivaxxer by any chance? Because you’re tracking the same thought process.

Whenever something like this comes up, of which I’m ignorant, I ask myself, “By what mechanisms could this be true or false? How would that work?”

Your turn.

Yeah, I’ll pass.

I don’t even use lemmy and that was interesting to read.

Researchers still can’t answer the big question: Are those nanoplastic pieces harmful to health?

“That’s currently under review. We don’t know if it’s dangerous or how dangerous,” said study co-author Phoebe Stapleton, a toxicologist at Rutgers. “We do know that they are getting into the tissues (of mammals, including people) … and the current research is looking at what they’re doing in the cells.”

Sheesh.

Thanks!

The edit isn’t showing up on kbin. Mind replying with the URL?

I think they finally got the humor/drama ratio right for Season 3, I would be really happy to get a Season 4+ if they are going to maintain that sort of approach.

My headcanon is now that Hinckley is a kbin or lemmy user with a time machine.

I use Sonixd as the frontend to my Navidrome server, and it’s the bees knees.

So, like usual, DRM only fucked the people trying to play by the rules.

You should try Linux because you want to and find it interesting to learn. If you are doing it because other people told you to, you are going to have a bad time.

Linux isn’t Windows with different branding. Things work differently, and if you take the time to understand why you’ll usually see the logic eventually, even if you may not to agree with it. I think folks are bristling a bit at your implication that things are hard on purpose somehow. Many experienced users find the terminal easier to use and more efficient; it shouldn’t shock anyone (including you) that it’s going to feel awkward when you don’t understand it yet.

Howtos tend to use the terminal because it’s likely to work the same for everyone regardless of what other choices they’ve made with desktop environment, etc.

You can do nearly everything with a GUI if you choose.

Both options will install the Mullvad client from the AUR. (If you use an arch derivative, that already tells you some things. If you don’t, then you are missing some context.) The first option will install from binary, the second will compile from source. Which you choose is up to you.

If you blindly chose one over the other because you didn’t know, worst case you end up being impatient if it takes awhile to compile from source.

This is well known and Ernest is working on a passel of fixes, and is really spread thin. I’d suggest tagging him for any bug (new or not) vs reporting an issue via bugtracker is counterproductive, and probably just adding to his stress.

Actually he only introduces this one, nearly everything is directly from the other folks I mentioned. (IIRC) He essentially platformed the organizers to release this information via podcast.

For anyone interested, this podcast miniseries from Robert Evans has a discussion of tactics and ethics from many of the folks who were the main organizers of the Portland protests in 2020. A large number of them are teenagers - to the point where they took steps to hid the kids’ identities for the podcast. Not a direct tie to the folks from the article I would guess, but very similar group.

It was a very interesting series, and (unsurprisingly) paints a very different picture of what went on in Portland in 2020 than police and magas try to claim.

As with any such podcast miniseries, this is best listened to in release order.
