I initially joined this conversation to say that there would be no way for anyone to deserve such a great shoe tying complement, but after researching your abilities I must say that I stand corrected. Bravo on your fantastic ability.

Makes sense, thanks for the response.

Sorry if this is a basic question. So if I have a pihole, do I just need to update the Raspberry Pi software, along with updating pihole software to resolve the insecurities? Or do I need to change the DNS settings of the pihole?

Pulse SMS App for Android recently updated to include:

New “Discover” Section: Find new offers, inspiring content, articles & more

On a messaging app, really??? Who wants any of those features when trying to message someone?

I’m not able to help, but good luck with your search.

Great lists so far. I’ll add one that I picked up from a previous thread:

URLCheck

URLCheck acts as an amazingly customizable and powerful intermediary when opening url links, allowing, among other things: to remove trackers, affiliate links, unnecessary elements, check Hosts, facilitating link holding and sharing, protecting against certain phishing techniques and many more…

Looks like a Chevrolet panel truck from around 1940. Here is a similar model painted like a Krispy Kreme donut delivery vehicle https://www.classic.com/veh/1940-chevrolet-panel-truck-4DolJwp/

Exactly right. I hate it when people pronounce it as gif instead.

Thanks for the recommendations, especially URLCheck. I already had FDroid and have been trying to figure out an easy way to clean tracking URLs.

Intellivision II and Commodore 64 with joystick. Not sure which one we had first first.

Thanks for the recommendation. I’ll check it out when it launches.

I’m very leary about installing any extensions that use the permission “Access your data for all websites”. I get that they need to see the website so they can do their thing, but I just don’t trust that they are any better having my data than the site I just visited.

Awesome, thanks.

Definitely not the correct place to ask, but does anyone know what brand or model ebike that is?

Another factor is how addictive the game is designed to be. A quick search led me to https://www.video-game-addiction.org/what-makes-games-addictive.html which covers some of the things. For example:

Games that hook players are often designed to be just difficult enough to be truly challenging, while allowing players to achieve small accomplishments that compel them to keep playing. In that respect, the design of video games is similar to the design of gambling casinos, which will allow players to have small “wins” that keep them playing.>

Going over addictive design elements like this can at least let people be more aware of why they keep wanting to play.

From the article:

Nothing ‘normal’ about it A lot of commentary uses the framing of a “new normal,” as if our climate has undergone a step change to a new state. This is deeply misleading and downplays the danger. The unspoken implication of “new normal” is that the change is past and we can adjust to it as we did to the “old normal.”

So it may truly be the new normal, but they don’t want you to say that for fear of getting complacent and unwilling to do anything about solving the problem…got it.

I needed to read the headline a few times since it didn’t make sense to me. I kept pronouncing damselfish as dam-selfish instead of damsel-fish. Haha, maybe I need more coffee.

This seems like Godzilla’s origin story. Should be fun.
