As a resident in a pretty rural area you might want to avoid moving to rural areas due to increased cancer rates due to pesticide use and poor water conditions. But don’t you worry about our poor corporations that are wrecking shit, our lovely governer passed legislation that prevents people from suing them. though her and the corporations assure us there is nothing to worry about. They pinky sweared and everything.

The amount of work he is putting into this is really impressive. Being from the US it kind of sucks to see his play out in every country but ours. Is 'merica just a lost cause or is there something else we can do here?

Most banks probably are not going to write off many student loans. They can pretty much go after it for life and the loans usually cannot be discharged.

I use NextDNS and still run across this all the time on my tablet. In cases where it’s an ad that got filtered it usually leaves empty margins down the sides so the content is still limited to 1/3 of the screen. Other times the area is technically not an ad… But is just click bait shit. Other times it’s just random stuff.

I’ve had some luck using Firefox. With UBlock Origin I can sometimes filter the sections out using their content zapper. With the Stylus extension I have had luck finding custom filters for some sites… But that works until that site updates their HTML a bit and then I start getting random weirdness.

Don’t know… It’s just something I notice a lot when browsing the web on my tablet (and on the fold when I had it) and find to be a nuisance.

You get all of simplelogin with unlimited. There is a way to convert your login so you won’t lose your setup. And I BELIEVE that it prorated any unused time you had left on your simplelogin account, so you would get credit for the 3 months you have left when you convert it… But not 100% positive on that, check with support. But I do know when I converted mine a few days before simplelogin was going to expire I was charged for a new month of service with some credit applied. So there is a process.

IMO if you’re using proton mail, and simple logon anyway and want a VPN then unlimited is kind of a no brainer. It works pretty great for me.

I liked my fold 3 but the screen protector was a pain in the ass especially since I live in a rural area. The closest place that could install new ones was 3 hours away. I attempted it twice and they had bubbles both times. A friend just removed her protector and 3 months later she had the black line going down the center of the screen. Foldables just seem a little too fragile to me.

Also was kind of annoying because websites and apps would detect the wider screen and add a column down the side of the screen - featuring ads usually. Kind of a kick in the nuts to spend $1500 for a larger screen just to get more ads.

That said, I kind of miss being able to run split screen with apps. It was handy to keep a messaging app on the right side of the screen while I browsed the web on the other.

Don’t know how I feel about this. I already get sick of the security prompts every three days to manually enter my passcode. If Google starts just deleting them and making me redo them might just fucking go back to the passcode. Hope it’s optional or it at least prompts you before deleting an old one. Not really trusting Google get it right.

I got the xm5 after I lost my 4’s and the differences aren’t that great. The bass seemed better on the 4’s too.

Unfortunately, I have both the headphones and the ear buds and I think the cans isolate noise better than the buds. It could be a problem due to a bad fit though. With the buds I could not get a decent fit with the foam tips so ended up getting some tips on Amazon so I lose a little noise isolation there. The size of the buds for the xm5 isn’t the greatest for me either so THAT doesn’t help - I get a little bit of slipping while eating for example. All said, I still think the xm5 does OKAY, but my link buds surpass it due to a better fit.

The bose might have an overall edge imo going by their reputation of having a good and comfortable fit. My brother has a pair and says they fit real well. I just can’t do the bose because the case is too large for me to carry in my pockets (even the newest model is rather large. The last generation was ridiculous - Bose is kind of crazy with their cases).

I would make sure you buy a pair from a store with a good return policy so if the fit does not work well for you you can exchange for something else. Everyone’s ears are different so there is no way to say how it will fit for you till you try them on.

You know of any open source alternatives?

On android, you can probably use hermit to approximate an app. It takes web pages and puts them in. Sand boxed app. I find it works pretty well for lot of websites.

Don’t be evil.
