kDrive and Proton Drive both fit the bill here, plus either option would drastically increase the privacy of your data compared to OneDrive.

Well said! It’s soo blatant that in most cases I’d assume they were aiming to hide it in plane sight…but this team isn’t smart enough to try and have that be their game plan.

SoundCloud is pretty cool, especially when compared to Spotify. I’ve been really liking the https://sc.maid.zone/ SoundCloud frontend recently, makes it more private and you can download the songs on the same page you can listen to them. But all in all, it really just comes down to your opinion regarding if you should talk positively about it.

Yep, cellulose is a beta pleated sheet, unlike carbs/sugars, which are alpha helices. We’re always ready to breakdown the alpha helices form of sugar, but due to the molecular structure of cellulose, we need help. This is were these enzymes come in from our microbiome. All this also ties into how in Western countries, most folks tend to be unable to breakdown cellulose due to the lack of the specific bacteria in our biome capable of producing this enzyme. However, in African and Asian countries, these bacteria are common place, so these cultures have been able to digest cellulose for ages!

While Nebula is a creator‑owned ad‑free video service, it’s truly just a conventional centrally‑hosted platform collecting user data like most sites. So while ad‑free, it has no focus on privacy as its privacy policy shows standard analytics and tracking typical of most subscription services. This being the case, it’s not a privacy respecting alternative to YouTube like Peer Tube much at all unfortunately.

Well said!!

While both are referring to the same molecule, effervescent indicates a specific delivery method which can improve absorption and just be easier for some folks to use.

Cookies do not directly communicate your IP address, they’re just bits of data about your visit. Logging out of LinkedIn and closing your browser should clear them, unless they’re persistent cookies.

Using a VPN to create a new Spotify account maskes your actual IP address. Meaning spotify wont know your home IP address. But, if Spotify uses cookies from your previous sessions or if you log in with the same credentials, it may still serve targeted ads based on your previous activity.

So while cookies don’t transmit your IP address, they still influence the ads you see based on your browsing history and/or account information. For enhanced privacy, it’s usually recommended to set cookies to be wiped when you close the browser. I have a handful of sites I like to keep cookies for, but everything else is gone after each session.

Limiting the impact corporations have on the environment via legislation is one highly effective way. But I’m just a person from the 89% of the population with this stance. So asking me isn’t all that useful. Asking at the demonstrations in a manner which takes account of each response is a much more logical way to help figure this out. Additionally, there’s definitely organizations who’ve done a lot of work here and have plans drawn up on these matters.

If all 89% of us took part in demonstrations, that’d be a great start. Those pushing back would eventually break from the pressure.

I use a Iron Fox on mobile with uBlock, so I don’t get pop-ups, but thanks for the heads up. Does your mobile browser have reader mode? If so, enabling it as the site loads is a great workaround for this.

John Steinbeck’s story is a trip. He wrote about the “underbelly of society” according to the political leaders of the city he was from (Salinas, Ca) in his early/mid career. So much so, they kicked him out of town. After he blew up for his work, they felt shame for giving him the boot. There’s now a big museum dedicated to him in downtown Salinas, The National Steinbeck Center. What this proves is capitalist only care about you if they can make a buck off ya, otherwise, get lost!

Right! I’ve also always been blown away knowing their DNA is circular. Probably since they don’t have a nucleus, but not totally sure.

Ya, RPM Fusion is handled by a 3rd party I’m pretty sure. But I was thinking more along the lines of what software is available though.

I’d have to think RPM Fusion is comparable to the AUR, no? I’ve never used Arch btw, but I do know Fedora pretty well.

The fact she see’s this as a marketing opportunity is repulsive. Truly makes me loath those with power in the US government. Even Arizona seeing as this lady believes this BS would be well received there.

C’est la vie, especially these days. All you can do is come to terms with knowing we each have an expiration date and just live it up until that inevitable day.

For anyone new to the Linux world, I can’t recommend Learn Linux TV enough. He has a video walking through this exact process, here’s an Invidious and YouTube link for it.

As far as dual booting goes, issues can arise after updates. I recall this happening a few months back due to a Windows update. So just be aware of this possibly happening down the road. I need Windows for work at times too, but I strictly use a VM. I’ve hated Microsoft since Windows 8, their amount of user tracking is bonkers and a big part of why I just use a VM. This is just food for thought though.

Are you using the same network for those different approaches? If so, it could be your network. That or you have quite a unique online fingerprint. I’d be curious to know what it is they do when blocking someone, that’d make it much easier to work around.

How does blocking work when it’s pretty easy to get a new MAC address and IP while also using a different browser like Mullvad’s? Or even use an entirely different device on an entirely different network?
