I’d say I was happy, too, if I thought they might hang me or cane me if I didn’t. Happy as hell, sir!

Would not be opposed to a new community that focuses on the business side of tech companies!

Like it or not, it’s tech news. When Intel does something interesting, or Google wets the bed again, we’ll talk about that a lot, then. Right now it’s Elon doing dumb stuff. Last month it was spez. If we ban every hot news topic, what’s left to discuss?

Threatens, as in, hasn’t happened and may not. Not all threats are true.

idk how well stuff works on Chrome Mobile. I use a different Chrome-based mobile browser that does allow extensions, and Ublock Origin works great on it. Turns out there’s more than one way to skin a cat. Who knew?

I’m well read on Manifest v3. I’m also aware of a Ublock Origin version that is designed to work under it. I have it installed and ready to go, for if and when the old one stops working. But that has only been threatened, too, and not even by Google.

I’m not certain it is just an assumption, but I am also not certain it is a prophecy. Until I get more certain, I’m not going to bust my hump worrying about it. And I’m certainly not going to bellow to the hillsides that we’re all doomed.

They already do that from my Android phone, and I’m sure as hell not going Apple. Linux phones aren’t there yet, maybe in a few years, but I’ll still need an Android phone for the same reasons I’d need a Chromebok, bank apps will never support Linux phones. And yeah, like everybody said, VLANs. I already have one for untrusted IoT devices, I’ll just spin up another for Chromebooks.

Not from them! They don’t make a dime when I buy yours.

Google has a track record of attack articles written against them, all talking up their intentions to tank adblocking, including this attack article. And yet, my adblocker still works and my ads are still blocked. Strange that we just assume this is what they intend to do, when there’s no evidence they’ve pulled it off, we treat it as if they have.

Just means I’ll have the shittiest Chromebook I can buy used, for access to the sites you just listed, and my Linux laptop for everything else. If their non-financial, non-commerce site won’t let me in with my adblocking Linux machine, I just won’t go there. There will be lots of site still, run by us, that don’t do this shit, and they’ll get my traffic.

If you didn’t ban everyone, but just started interpreting things people said with the most uncharitable interpretation you can imagine, then banned them for the things you twisted them to say, you could probably continue that forever. Reddit will always give the mod the most charitable interpretation because that requires the least work, everyone who complains against your capricious bans would just be banned by the admins for harassing you.

Just a little, light cancer.

I already cancelled my Dashlane, after they did an AMA on Reddit during the blackout. I don’t support companies who cross picket lines.

Can’t wait to see Reddit Corporate deciding whether or not a particular post is really gonewildgrannies material!

Cool, now do AskHistorians

So far I’ve avoiding learning about Docker by just buying a new old end-of-life Chromebook when I wanted to run anything. Works pretty well, except for the giant pile of Chromebooks behind my TV.

I think I just need a general overview. Something about the concept isn’t clicking for me, and it makes it hard for me to learn how to use it when I fundamentally don’t get it. Is there a really good “Introduction to Docker and the tools people use with it” that I haven’t found?

Docker is hurting my progress. I just can’t seem to wrap my head around it. Is there a Docker for Dummies?

Kinda depends. I have one that makes an excellent Plex server with an external USB drive for the media. It’s ancient, got it for nothing from an school that was going to throw it out, it’s got Intel QuickSync so it transcodes media in hardware. I even got the 2TB USB drive for nothing, friend didn’t need it any more and was going to throw it out, now it serves him media with the Plex server I built. Did the same with another Chromebook for Pi Hole. Now thinking about a slightly beefier one for Home Assistant. Might set up a Lemmy instance on another one, just for the fuck of it.

End of life Chromebooks, baby!

I kinda don’t see the problem here. I have all these news sites bookmarked, I scroll through them every day. They will still get my ad revenue if they are not on social media. Doesn’t everyone do this? Did everybody but me get lazy and stop using bookmarks?

I signed up and then went to bed. I’m assuming the world took that as a sign and followed me. Or perhaps I should cut down on the hard drugs, idk
