  • Linus Tech Tips uploaded a video showing how to block ads on Youtube. Which was removed by Youtube for community guidelines violations.

  • What is the official reason here for removing it?

  • Bluesky continues to soar

  • Good. Competition is good. If they suceed or fail just means we learn and build a better product.

  • What made everyone move to Bluesky or Threads instead of Mastodon?

  • Not leagaly but users will be frustated and leave. They will rollback within a day so you will not need to worry too much.

  • No ads. Lightweight app/website.

  • Maybe it is just avoiding big tech.

  • Google Gemini might soon handle your WhatsApp calls, notifications, and more (APK teardown)

  • I want to take all my phone calls. I very rarely get one. Maybe 1 time per 6 months on my private phone. I have meetings on teams but don't count them as it is remote working and only for work.

    Besides, Google products just dies.

    Can't they just code this like an assistant or something? Much more power efficient.

  • Microsoft is bringing annoying Windows 11 Start menu ads to Windows 10

    Jump

  • You DO get a choice. You can shift to any other operating system in the world. I did go to Fedora with KDE.

  • iPhones in the EU get ability to set more default apps, delete more built-in ones

    Jump

  • This increase competition a lot. I like it. Sure people using iPhone may not like options, but at least some can now.

  • Elon Musk wants to implant millions of people with Neuralink brain chips

  • As it requires going inside me, i wound never use it regardless of what it can do.

  • Microsoft’s controversial Windows Recall feature is coming back in October

    Jump

  • It is funny how they think this product useful to so many people. I believe they only do it because they have to use AI in any way but could not come up with something better.

  • Microsoft finally officially confirms it's killing Windows Control Panel sometime soon

    Jump

  • That is good news - I assume they are done with the replacement as they announce this, otherwise they are just stupid. The problem is - why did it take this long time for a trillion dollar company to archive it?

  • I just wanted to take a moment to enjoy how clean the web can be

  • Wow. Is it even legal to have it that long?

    I bet a lot was of details were missing in there as well.

  • The different popups just show how bad design the web is today.

    Ask cookie question is required.

    Login? Always create an account and proceed with all signup questions.

    Agreement? Read them 1 hour until you have understood everything.

    Webbrowser: can I get your location? And please the mic and video too!

    Finally, don't forget the ads!

  • Use a password manager

  • Sweden with BankID. The main app for it. Sometimes the goverment(not the banks) offers the alternative Freja E-ID https://frejaeid.com/. The banks built BankID and charge companies that use it(not consumers).

  • Please don't confused this with backup as a sync could trigger a delete.

  • I have the need to have different accounts to everything. Hate to perform the sign up process over and over again. They really need to standardize this.

    Passkeys is one step forward but far from enough.

    I hate the idea of having to login again and again with just a minute interval that I see BankID requires as it is for different things. Like I constantly have to prove it is still me here. BankID is the app in my country that gives you access to your Bank account, government stuff and so on. It connects to your personal number and ID you in real life.

    So the issues you describe is just the result of how bad designed the web is today. It is simple for every company but hard for the user.

  • Chrome will block one of its biggest ad blockers

    Jump

  • So Google is a monopoly and removing funding to Firefox will help them not to be a monopoly? That does not sound right. Rather the opposite.

    Nothing has been decided or done yet. Most likely they will just be forced to not abuse their position, for example make ads for it on www.google.com, don't bundle Chrome with Android and such things.

    I believe there will always be an alternative to Chrome available as the Open Source community will find a way together.

  • Block Chrome and use anything not Chrome based. In other words use Firefox.

  • Google is discontinuing the Chromecast line
