Is it trying to download the install files? That requiring a login makes sense.

Kahn Academy is neat. And free. I discovered it back when Brilliant was being shilled everywhere online years ago.

Those keys are usually gotten via stolen credit cards. It’s much more ethical to just pirate the thing.

Running scripts from a random comment is risky if you don’t know how to check if the script is safe (and someone asking how to activate windows definitely doesn’t). Better to just link the massgravel Microsoft Activation Scripts (MAS), as the top comment did.

Dinosaurs, while neat, do not bring sufficient profits for the offense industry.

Yeah, Vivaldi is the best chromium-based browser. Personally, I use it a secondary for sites that were made to only display right on chromium browsers. Librewolf, a privacy-focused fork of Firefox, is the one I use as a main browser.

Wasn’t he going to sue Threads for “stealing their talent” (hiring some of the massive amounts of programmers they got rid of)?

Did he ever go through with that, or did his lawyers manage to talk him out of it?

dealing with ads

Just use an adblocker. It’s basic internet safety at this point. I recommend ublock origin. If you’re on mobile, android’s version of firefox can use it as well.

Are there any torrent clients that don’t have that? qbittorrent has it, and even the ancient utorrent had it.

lemmy.ml doesn’t have easy signups the way lemmy.world does.

Though I do have accounts on a few different instances, just in case. And so I don’t get blinded by light mode when links send me to another instance.

I have a youtube tab open, it’s currently at 498 blocks. After writing that, 503.

My ublock origin icon has been at a steady 0 ads blocked in my entire time browsing Lemmy. It feels weird.

Embrace. Extend. Extinguish.

The main problem is that his videos are like “I saved 1000 kids from the orphan grinding machine!”, and I’m just like, why is the orphan grinding machine even a thing.

Like when he restored sight to 1000 blind people. It’s a good thing, but also, it’s a drop in the bucket and why isn’t public healthcare doing that for all blind people?

All those sites using Search Engine Optimization (SEO) instead of making actual content ruined the internet.

Personally, I’ll still be looking at stuff on reddit when relevant. Just keeping my adblocker active, everyone should be using one anyway. For those that don’t have one yet, I recommend ublock origin. They might get metrics, but they won’t get any ad money.

Listen Jimmy, that mod status o’ yours, it’s quite nice, aint it? Would be a shame if something happened to it. Real shame.
