From ugly to useless and ugly. Nice.

Blocking instances works with the OG Lemmy, but they didn’t build the function into the app, you’d have to go through the website (that one time only).
Or can you block all users of a specific instance with Voyager?
The same crap is going around Instagram and other social media pages. Often when you check out the profiles, they have some link obscured via url shortener that resolves to some random porn site or flat out scam page.
They try to comment first to get upvotes I guess.
And that’s the reason why I don’t use it, I need specific websites that access my local time, and apparently whitelisting is not a thing.
Wow, that’s quite something. Hopefully a temporary thing due to spam issues or so…
I’m using a VPN almost permanently, never had any issues there.
Are you sure it’s lemmy.world and not cloudflare or something?
I don’t think it was in the article, but I updated to 192.0.2 yesterday and checked the enhanced tracking protection settings, and block cross-site cookies is now in the default profile, so that was my assumption since it wasn’t there previously.
NFC door locks have a sliding panel with a key override. Usually a shit lock that can be opened by any amateur… One of the many reasons I don’t have one.
Not at all. It would maintain functionality at the current status quo, and browsers would still receive updates and keep current with server based technology. If anything required additional components to use new technologies or display novel applications, that would be a hardware based change that won’t be fixed through a system update regardless.
You can still browse the web just fine on a phone from 2010 running Android 2.3 - many applications are now unsupported, but if Google (or Apple, for that matter) were to stop updating the OS, then application developers would stay at the current technology level that make hardware upgrades unnecessary.
Some apps that require google services (I’m sure there’s an equivalent for iOS) might no longer work, but most run just fine regardless.
If security is what you’re getting at, at least for Android, there are excellent third party solutions that keep attackers out even on an end of life device (shoutout to Hypatia).
Wait, a Tesla in its default configuration doesn’t allow self driving?
Yep, and precisely why I refuse to buy anything that requires an internet connection to work. I’m even wary of services that lock me in for longer than maybe 6 months. The only annual subscription I have is for my VPN.
An actual device/machine that I plan to use for years? Hell no. Offline only is a must have.
It was updated today. 2 years ago it was just an announcement of a beta function in private browsing, the full rollout happened with 129.0.2 which was released a few days back.
I always go for customized builds without OS. Those instances where I had a license were either work computers or licenses I got through uni.
I don’t recall ever paying for Windows, so there’s that. Once in a while I had a genuine license that came bundled with something, but most of the time, I don’t.
I can’t see the option on my free account either, despite installing the most recent update earlier today.
That guy has been milking every cow on the planet, you gotta appreciate the efforts. I’m just surprised there’s no NFT collection out there, that’d be befitting of a supreme con artist.
Tubular works nicely, and Smart Tube Next on android tv.
I’m hoping for Windows 12. Just like I skipped from Win 7 straight to 10, 8 was completely unusable.
There’s a long term support version for 10 as well, until 2029. That would be the alternative, if whatever successor they choose is as bad or worse.
Yeah tell that to my company please.
But the company doesn’t have the money. Stock value means investor valuation, not company funds.
Once a company goes public for the very first time, it’s getting money into its account, but from then on forward, that’s just investors speculating and hoping on a nice return when they sell again.
Of course there should be some correlation between the company’s profitability and the stock price, so ideally they do have quite some money, but in an investment craze like this, the correlation is far from 1:1. So whether they can still afford to build the data centers remains to be seen.
