Some of these devices also now use DoH to bypass any DNS-level filtering.

A lot of mods had that opinion when the API changes were first announced. But those protests quickly crumbled when Reddit started threatening to remove mods of subs participating in the blackout. It seems like a lot cared more about keeping

He seems to spout a lot of things about free speech, and about how Twitter is the only place to get your voice heard without censorship, etc. But if a journalist crosses him or pens an article that paints one of his companies in a negative

Pi-Hole (or any other DNS filters) don't block this one.

This is about the "National Emergency Library" they launched during the peak of the COVID pandemic? I think they had good intentions, but the legality around it was definitely questionable from the start.

It won't load for me in Firefox either, even with all extensions disabled.

That was a nice feature, but there are other apps that do this without consent and I don't like it. For example, if you have the NY Times app installed and tap on a link in Safari that leads to a NY Times article, it automatically open

I find Twitter really annoying to use now, since they made it so all of the replies from blue checkmark accounts get boosted to the top of the feed. I have to scroll past all of them just to find "normal" comments. The BlueBlocker

Many of the old default subs like News, Politics, etc are ran by the same group of moderators, and they will heavily censor things they don't like. But it's the same thing on the other side of the spectrum, a lot of the conservati

I completely agree with that, in the past if I saw a DIY video with a 50% upvote rate, I'd know that it should probably be ignored and to look for a better source. Now, I'm not sure. I have to comb through the comments to find out

The FAA has a program called LADD (Limiting Aircraft Data Displayed) and high-profile individuals, etc can sign up to it. The major players in the flight tracking business like FlightRadar24 or FlightAware follow that. But sites like ADS-B

I really miss that site, I remember you could place a "bounty" for some rare/obscure song or remix and there was always someone out there who had a copy of it who was willing to share it to get their ratio up.

The YouTube ads defeat DNS sinkholes because the ads are served from the same domain(s) as the content.

That works well on a desktop browser, but the YouTube ads are still a problem on iOS and other platforms like smart TVS, Roku or Chromecast/Google TV.

They never even admitted that bots were present in WSB despite the evidence. This whole Gamestop saga just gave them a lot of publicity and a lot of traffic from people who never would have visited Reddit before.

The test flight of Falcon Heavy (when they sent the Tesla Roadster to space) is still the most memorable launch for me. Watching those 2 boosters land side-by-side simultaneously looked like magic.

Even on their own hardware (Surface Pro) I've ran into really annoying issues with DPI scaling, especially when docking/undocking from a secondary monitor.

I still have an old @msn.com email address, I remember at the time you could choose from @hotmail.com, @msn.com or @passport.com. Haven't used it for email for at least a decade, but I do use it for OneDrive so my account stays "a

Could these big tech firms challenge this in court? It seems like a very ambiguous use of "national security reasons".

I had 2 years of smoking in the building before it was banned and I don't miss my clothes constantly smelling like tobacco smoke.

They don't actually check your region either, you just have to check a box saying that you're in the U.S. It seems to be flying under the radar, at least until now

I used to mod an active subreddit and I saw this type of thing all the time. Once a post hits the front page or a comment gets gilded, the majority will just assume it's factual and will run with it. If anything it was kind of scary to

That's a shame because I've been using it as a news aggregator while dodging all their offers to subscribe to News+ articles like the WSJ, etc.

The only side effect I really notice in everyday browsing with privacy.resistFingerprinting enabled is time. It spoofs the system time zone as UTC which makes it a bit confusing looking at things like sports and TV schedules.

All of these commercial VPN providers seem a bit sketchy to me. Roll your own on a VPS with Algo.
