Privacy and security isn't an all-or-nothing matter though. While a Pixel running GrapheneOS would indeed be more secure privacy-wise than an iPhone, not only would one have to be willing to do without a digital wallet, among other features that unfortunately have telemetry injected into them, but would still depend on the user not installing any of the common apps that would harvest data, even on a de-Googled phone.

RT is a Russian propaganda outlet, full stop.

Also, one of the ones I wasn't going to block seems to also be instance-banned: !linuxmint@lemmy.world. Is there a reason for its (presumed) banning?

Narrator: But they didn't, and nothing changed. /s

Wouldn't be surprised if JetBlue paid a $1 million bribe to Trump's 'inaugural' fund to keep the regulation unenforced, in the unlikely event that it would even be pursued by the incoming administration in the first place...

The problem is that anything less than unwavering support for Israel would be spun by well-funded propagandists as left-wing at best and antisemitic at worst. Regardless of how unjustified those claims are, and how detrimental they are to the wellbeing of oppressed Palestinians, a switch in foreign policy tactics now just for Netanyahu to wait for Trump to be elected is not worth it, as any short term benefits for the Palestinians would be undone tenfold should Trump be elected. Beyond that, a similar or worse fate would await Ukraine should that occur, so it's ultimately better to wait until the election is over to consider major policy changes.

Clearly it's next to Andorra... /s

Unless it's just taking a while to come down from the scene group heavens, some 4K TV show seasons seem to be perpetually missing, presumed due to Widevine L1. Oddly, sometimes half of a show's 4K seasons are released while the others aren't.

Will the extension be updated to use Manifest V3? If it isn't, it seems that compatibility with Chrome might not last much longer, unfortunately.

Edit: Was just asking as I recently installed the extension and Chrome complains that it uses Manifest V2. While Firefox is better than Chrome for lots of reasons, until I make the switch I was just wondering if the extension would keep working given that the alternative 12 foot ladder isn't tall enough for several paywalls...

Hard to find scene releases are sometimes only available via usenet.

Thought it was for a different game at first...

Is Soulseek mainly for music, rather than audiobooks? Tried to search for audiobooks on my to-find list but no dice.
