I’m not sure if this helps, but I use uBlock Origin and Privacy Badger in Firefox and can read it.

Or use it as a product search engine, then go to the supplier or an alternate online store to buy the one you want. I don’t have it on my phone but do go to it in browser occasionally for that.

I moved a couple states away from my family to minimize any interaction. It’s not just politics. Their politics are, however, and indicator that they’re not the type of people I want to associate with, so the extra distance facilitates less contact.

Of course, I moved to Iowa, which has since shifted from purplish to red. At least I’m on a blue city.

He has a very low bar by most of the developed world’s standards, but he refused to lower it further for maga, so he’s history now.

I was about to say, old reddit in browser works fine, but I use Mullvad, so I never noticed. I’m increasingly spending more time here too.

Back-office college financial aid at a larger state college. Financial aid mostly disburses by batch process, so my job is to audit that. Some things, like external scholarships, are manual and require a quick reassessment of the financial aid package to ensure the student is still eligible for everything (if anything, loans need reduced sometimes per regulations). Some things require “professional judgement,” like when a student is not yet 24 but claims to be independent due to unusual circumstances. There’s more, but it’s really just an accumulation of batch work, queues, and audits which require a reasonably good working knowledge of regulations.

I was using Sync for Reddit before the API issues (switched to old reddit with ublock and Firefox after that), and the creator make Sync for Lemmy with the same feel.

I still have it but only follow niche and local subs for which there isn’t enough engagement here yet.

Let me know when they make a flag for Dumbfuckistan and I will fly that shit.

Their business is more important than integrity, and they’ve seen that the president will attack anyone who tries to get in his way.

It’s the Swedish bakers dozen so you can eat 3 raw eggs + shells on the way home and still have a dozen eggs to put in the fridge. It takes three eggs to equal the calories found in a small donut which is why the bakers dozen eggs is 15 instead of 13.

Yeah I was gonna say let me cross over real quick. I’m American, so I’ll bring my own guns as long as you can provide some healthcare.

Can we just call it the Quwitter?

Yeah Mullvad is coming in pretty steady on that front.

My primary use is photo editing for a photography hobby. I shoot wildlife and upload photos to iNaturalist. I shoot sports for a local junior college and an adult baseball league.

I don’t watch a ton of movies, but it also serves as my Plex server. I leave it off unless I want to watch something though.

There are games on it, but I rarely get that itch anymore. In my teens and 20s, 1000 hours a year would have been a slow year. It’s probably more like 0-100 a year now.

Well yeah, and now he’s taking this move from Putin’s playbook for Greenland. He’s at the “people in Greenland would rather be US citizens” stage. Putin did the same thing in the beginning when talking about the territories in Ukraine he wanted to take.

They might be motivated by political views, fact checking, etc, but the subreddits I’ve seen discussing it (baseball, Iowa) are focusing on the fact that you need an account to see anything now. Screenshots from X would still be permitted; just not direct links due to the degree of interaction with the site required to view the material.

It’s sound reasoning, in my opinion. X either links you to an actual source or is a short post easily captured in a screenshot.

But then I have to pay and care for a dog. I’ll just not put myself in either situation.
