As I’ve been making an effort to replace apps with the browser version of the service. It’s so abundantly clear that companies don’t want you using their website.
Even if they don’t outright cripple functionality, they’ll hound you endlessly to install the app.
It’s infuriating to say the least.
Trump freed 1500 criminals who wanted to kill elected officials in a terrorist-style seige of the capital.
But yeah, go punish a national hero.
It’s terrifying to think that there’s still nearly 4 years left of this.
Our waterfront trail (Lake Ontario) really is beautiful, no matter where you stop!).
just added a photo.

My 90s bike.
Most of the components have certainly evolved when you look at a modern counterpart.
But it’s still fully repairable, serviceable at home or on the trail, extremely reliable, and doesn’t require any firmware updates or batteries to use 😄
So much about it is “outdated”, but I love the hell out of it.
EDIT: Photo of my metal steed in “winter mode”. LOL
Christians are OK with this man leading the country? /s
Was using the Voyager app. But now I use the Voyager PWA version through the Hermit app.
I love the taste! I just hate how damn expensive it is, so I don’t by it anymore.
Just snuck up on everyone without warning! 🫣
Racist Congressman Burgess Owens (R-UT) has joined the disproportionately vocal minority of racists who were unimpressed by Beyoncé at the Grammy Awards last Sunday because she’s black.
Write it like the truth, because anything else downplays how awful these people are.
The details are horrific:
- 819 million hours spent solving CAPTCHAs.
- $6.1 billion worth of our time at the US federal minimum wage.
- 134 Petabytes of internet bandwidth.
- consuming 7.5 million kWhs of energy.
- which produced 7.5 million pounds of CO2 pollution.
- This one’s from the author of the article: putting the 819 million hours against the average human lifespan of 79 years, that’s 1,182.7 lifetimes spent solving CAPTCHAs.
I’ll just share with you my experience:
I was also paying for a YouTube Premium family plan, but still got ads. What made me cancel was the fact that they’re still using trackers, so they were making money off me three times (subscription, ads, and selling my data)!
Coupled with the fact that “content creators” don’t really make content for the love of making it. It’s all created “for the algorithm”, especially the “watch to the end”, clickbait titles and thumbnails, “like and subscribe” begging, “only 15% of you are subscribers”, sponsored content disguised as education, etc… Videos today are nothing like they were 15 years ago, because it became solely about making money.
Google is one of the pioneers of the enshittification movement!
… And has made video content for billions of people unbearable to watch or enjoy.
hahaha! Grab him by the ego!
Just got the update. Good timing, because over the last week, I’ve had DOZENS upon DOZENS of IP addresses auto-blocked.
Before that, the last blocked IP address was like in September, so someone/something is probing.
As a reminder: The guy defending Christianity is a rapist and adulterer who set free 1500 criminals, including pedophiles and child rapists.
If Jesus was real, he would bitch slap Trump so hard it would take the paint off his face!
I bought two “Eightree” brand Zigbee-compatible plugs to see how they fare.
Did you need a Zigbee hub to get them working? I was gifted an Eighttree Zigbee plug with energy monitoring, but it seems to require using a hardware hub :(
That’s exactly it. Easy to block ads and trackers on a website, but more difficult or impossible on some apps.
One of the banking apps won’t show the total balance of the account unless I’m using the app. How ridiculous.
