Android@lemdro.id•PSA: Nova Launcher added Facebook and Google Ads trackingEnglish
2·3 months agoAye, I’m all good and stopped using Nova after many years when the Branch crap came out.
It’s the FB domain, and their many other bought out ones (WhatsApp nty) that are blocked at a network level here. No ghost accounts for me :p

5·3 months agoCheers OP for the heads up, sooooo glad I started blocking those domains a long while ago with OpenWRT > Tailscale exit node at home.
Frustrating sometimes since peeps link many charities and shit via FB, but easily circumvented via archive sites tor i2p etc.

Linux@programming.dev•What was your first distro?English
1·8 months agoI think it was actually DBAN I dabbled with firstly, and then like you Knoppix. I played too much later with microkernel distros like DSL / Tinycore, then Debian / Ubuntu’s etc.

Lemdroid@lemdro.id•Picture Upload Broken?English
2·8 months agoYeah @coles mentioned over on Matrix they’re aware of an issue with it and are looking into it.
Personally, I still just use catbox.moe for sharing images on here partially out of the worry of the hosting of memes going south :p

5·9 months agoBecause it’s client side it’s gucci, but has anyone tried these UBO rules with other apps such as weddit or other sites employing KWS?
And, is this gonna be another Consent to Cookies bollocks?

2·9 months agoYou got me curious, because while I don’t have the app installed for the longest time I do have a female fam member who used to demolish me in rewards and still uses it.
But, only blocks adverts at (yay Adguard)home while on WiFi and pretty sure she doesn’t have PrivateDNS enabled.
Seems she’s only getting surveys whilst out and about shopping so I’ve asked her to enable her exit node at home next time shopping.
For science…

5·9 months agoThis, and something to note is never lie to Google Rewards as you’ll then stop getting surveys altogether if they catch you out with their trap questions
Have you ever visited XYZ waterpark
If you haven’t, even if it’s a real place just say no and wait for the next survey because they’ll trip you up trying.

1·9 months agoOne of my most favourite things was watching the wizards over in r/BotDefense killing shitbots enmass via the open API weddit had until spez got even more greedy.
I know it’s not directly tied to what you’re asking via the UI, but I am interested in how you could help some of those excellent bot hunters of day gone yonder.
