It's no wonder all my feeds are red. The internet is becoming so restricted! It's really sad.
nipperkinfeet··on Chrome is looking to permanently drop MV2 extension
I am using the AdGuard for Windows method. Everything is filtered at network level using a local proxy. I don't need to waste my time anymore worrying about which browser ruins their extension API by following Google's nonsense.

nipperkinfeet··on Hollywood Enters Oscars Weekend in Existential Crisis
It is surprising that such a large number of people continue to fall victim to fraud at the cinema. High-quality televisions and sound systems are now available at a reasonable price. It has been 12 years since I last attended a movie screening. All content will be available on-demand within a month of the theatrical release. Popcorn maker at home and drinks.
nipperkinfeet··on Apple Needs to Copy Samsung's New Security Smartphone Screen ASAP
Do people really care if someone looks at their phone like that? Especially when the apps themselves spy on everything you do?
nipperkinfeet··on Thanks a lot, AI: Hard drives are sold out for the year, says WD
I no longer feel obligated to apologize for holding on to older devices for a long time. I have several desktops and laptops that are all still usable.

I hope this horrible, bloated service finally dies.
nipperkinfeet··on Show HN: A free online British accent generator for instant voice conversion
Failed to generate speech. Please try again. :(
nipperkinfeet··on Chrome extensions spying on users' browsing data
Stylus is a good alternative to Stylish. I keep my extensions to a minimum, and I turn off the ones I don't need until I need to use them. The only extensions I have turned on all the time are uBlock, Humble New Tab Page, and Stylus.
nipperkinfeet··on Discord Alternatives, Ranked
IRC is the best. :)
nipperkinfeet··on Microsoft account bugs locked me out of Notepad – Are thin clients ruining PCs?
Most of all, first-party apps from Microsoft have been ruined by them. Use alternatives when possible.
nipperkinfeet··on Why do RSS readers look like email clients?
Websites like this are exactly the reason why I use RSS, and it looks like email clients. The web page is overly complex and requires excessive scrolling.
nipperkinfeet··on Android’s desktop interface leaks
Put it straight into Killed by Google.
nipperkinfeet··on Microsoft forced me to switch to Linux

Sell it to Ableton or Image-Line Software.

I can't blame them. They're having a harsh winter. What else can villages do to keep warm without some eco-friendly nonsense that doesn't work?
nipperkinfeet··on Apple Creator Studio
All these companies can go to hell with their subscription traps.
nipperkinfeet··on AI generated music barred from Bandcamp
Good news! It just degrades the quality of service. Now its hard to separate AI music in Spotify.
nipperkinfeet··on OneDrive just deleted all of my files
That's horrible! I've heard similar horror stories about other cloud synchronization software. Lesson learned. I don't trust the cloud, and to rent someone else's server. I create my own local backups and don't rely on anyone else. I've been doing the same thing for over 26 years and have never lost anything.
nipperkinfeet··on How I archived 10 years of memories using Spotify
For me, Spotify is only for discovery. I've been collecting MP3s of my favorite tracks for over 25 years, long before streaming became popular, and I still do it today. I organize my collection by the year each track was created using a folder structure on my hard drive instead of playlists, and it's all stored locally. I could go even further with this amazing software called MP3tag. Audio Dedupe is great at finding duplicates.
nipperkinfeet··on How I block all online ads
I use uBlock on desktop and laptop with Dan host files. AdGuard DNS on Android, or Firefox Mobile with uBlock extension. Even Edge on mobile has extension support now.
nipperkinfeet··on RAM is so expensive, Samsung won't even sell it to Samsung
I'm glad I kept my ageing Dell Studio XPS 7100. I need to stock up on some Dell Precision towers from the surplus in case my Studio XPS 7100 breaks. This AI bubble needs to burst soon.
