this is true. however it can filter calls to ad services and block them at the dns level before they’re loaded in the browser

for those who come and read through these comments, on top of considering not using a chromium-based browser, you could also:

• configure your own DNS resolver e.g. NextDNS
• go further and use a fork of firefox e.g. librewolf

you might be referring to the CSI Effect

conspiracy theories are perfect for certain types of people to latch on to because the narrative presented is malleable. If the theory is wrong it can be re-shaped into something new to explain the new unknown.

if you scrutinised a conspiracy then yes they would generally fall flat, but if someone were the dispenser of that knowledge who imbued themselves with the self-importance of knowing secret details, they could always shift the goalposts and weave a new version of the story to maintain the reality they want to revel in.

At some point they made a decision to change from something else to Netflix, so perhaps they’re not afraid of change but might need a compelling reason to use a different service?

Could be an opportunity for you to educate them on what options are available and why that will benefit them long term.

technically on par for a dystopian game

edit: there’s a reason why the wachowski brothers are no longer brothers

i can see how that sounded! it’s a lightweight, browser-based rss reader.

i made a short script that scrapes my own feed and sends an email.

I often think this. I use a mix of reeder, feedly, vore, instapaper to see what I like.

However I look at my parents and they’ll use Apple News or whatever news source they trust in a browser.

Flipboard is used because it makes it easy for people to find aggregated information. What’s easier than something that already does the aggregation for you?

Often we take for granted things we consider to be normal. I would think everyone has uBlock Origin installed (i’ve used it for years) or something similar, but this is clearly not the case.

it’s slowly becoming that, yeah.

I’m going to go out on a limb and say that not many users on Lemmy follow Cricket or understand it fully. My comment isn’t going to cover if the decision by the ICC is correct (or otherwise) but to provide a little insight into the men and women’s games

Speed / pace is a noticeable difference between the sexes. I don’t believe there are any current female players that consistently bowl pace over 120km/h. In contrast, male pace bowlers generally try to meet a consistent speed of 135km/h for the same role. The upper bounds for men is roughly 160km/h and maybe only one or two pro players globally can do this.

There are enough men’s bowlers who can bowl at 150km/h. At this speed an average batter would find it difficult to see the ball. Arguably batters in baseball receive faster pitches but at 150km/h+ including the ball bouncing makes it incredibly difficult to face.

The batting is also different but it might be harder to explain to a non-cricketing audience why this is.

reckon XDefiant will be good?

iOS doesn’t give many options to remove ads from YouTube videos. You can’t really circumvent the native YT app (at least in my experience). What’s worked for me for the past few years is:

• watching Youtube in Safari
• purchasing the Wipr and Vinegar extensions from the App store

I have not seen a single ad on iOS on YouTube this way. I’m pretty sure Vinegar is doing the heavy lifting specifically on YouTube but Wipr picks up the slack on every other website.

same here. nuked my lastpass account and switched everything over to bitwarden. their paid offering was worse from the competition and now i’m very glad i moved from them

pretty sure brazilians brush 3 times a day.

i just brush twice a day and floss + mouthwash at night on top.

the comment isn’t literal. it was an off handed way of saying that it is beneficial to try and improve oneself to get the most out of life.

i perhaps shouldn’t have qualified his profession because this was a conversation over beers, not his place of work.

it depends on what you consider self-improvement to be
