One of the problems I have with search engines when looking for tech solutions is that the results are incredibly out of date. I don’t bother any more and just go straight to the product’s own support forum. Where possible I add the forum’s own search entry to Firefox’s search box. At least I no longer get answers to a problem no one has had since 2018.

The whole Bellendcat thing sounded a bit sus to me when I first came across them being lionised in the UK press. One plonker sitting in his bedroom outdoing the might of the Five Eyes? Mmm, sure.

It was Mozilla for me back in 2000. I gradually replaced all the proprietary apps I was using on Windows with FLOSS alternatives and then finally made the mover to Linux around 2010. The only closed stuff I use now is an iPhone and I despise it.

I don’t know what the authors are complaining about. All the AI is doing is trawling through a lexicon of words and rearranging them into an order that will sell books. It’s exactly what authors do. This is about money.

Oh, it’s not that simple. I could call, email or any number of other methods. It’s just that I’d rather not communicate with a right wing, paranoid, fear-spreading, racist nut job. I just need to know they’re still breathing. This individual is spewing bile every single day,

Kpat.

Good news. I use it once a week to check if a relative is still alive.

It’ll all end in tiers.

Same here :)

btw, it’s in Filter Lists > EasyList Annoyances.

I only found out about it when the chap that made the best-known cookie banner blocker sold his extension to some scumbags. I hope it does what you need.

lol There’s often a fair bit of waxing involved.

This is not at all what it’s meant for but I use Element messenger for this purpose. It’s on all my devices, it’s e2ee, it’s shareable if needs be. It’s also a damn fine messenger in its own right.

Impressive.

As someone who has spent years extolling the virtues of Matrix/Element to family members I can assure you that there is no known rebuttal to the phrase “but I don’t care about privacy”. All it needs is to visit a site and sign up. No software required whatsoever. Good luck with GitHub and your ageing aunt or gobby nephew.
