Which is fair. I very likely misread it because us tech-minded people have a tendency to be smug or look down on our peers when they miss something we deem obvious (that’s been my experience online at least).
I didn’t mean any offence or anything by my comment though.
That’s how you know your system is fucked. Searching BY NAME doesn’t result in the app appearing as result number 1.
There is absolutely zero excuse or reason for that.
I mean, yeah. Just remembered someone mentioning that yesterday and wanted to add it, because it’s ridiculous.
While this is obviously the solution, being smug and pointing at it as if it’s obvious and women are stupid for not knowing about it doesn’t help.
If anything we need to figure out how to help women discover drip or whatever alternative we want to recommend. We need to figure out how to get it higher up on the Play Store’s search results rather than it being impossible to discover at something like #40 on that list. We need to figure out how to introduce F-droid and related solutions in a way that is as close to frictionless as possible.
Sadly, not everyone is willing to put in the amount of work we are and others aren’t even aware of the issues.
Maybe some of the resources on this site can help.
Why would you post a screenshot instead of linking to the actual article?
Pi-hole or AdGuard Home on your local network as well as some kind of DNS filtering on all of your devices for when you’re away from home.
All of this goes along with uBlock Origin on a Firefox-based browser. Block as thoroughly and effectively as you possibly can.
What about fastfetch? I’ve been a happy user for a while.
Windows 11 LTSC can be downloaded and then activated with a script from the same source.
This might be the in-between version you’re looking for.
Surprise, surprise.
Forcing security measures onto someone who doesn’t understand them or know how to recover their data if something goes wrong is a bad idea.
Fair enough. I still think it shouldn’t be allowed though.
Yes, but how is the AI making the images or videos? It has to be trained on SOMETHING.
So, regardless of direct harm or not, harm is done at some point in the process and it needs to be stopped before it slips and gets worse because people “get used to” it.
Sorry if I misread. Didn’t mean to attack or offend.
I do absolutely agree with you regardless.
