Ouch! Did you manage to purchase a replacement? The last time I checked out Sailfish it supported older xperias that can be a bit difficult to get a hold of...

Because it's from china doesn't mean anything though lol. So are our phones, clothes, bikes, car electronics, batteries, practically all electronics except hard drives etc.

Don't forget that there are talented individuals everywhere, regardless of whatever perceptions exist about their country of origin.

In this case, OP wants access to what they consider to be a good show, and that's that ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿดโ€โ˜ ๏ธ

IIRC NewPipe just scrapes the YT website, it doesn't persist Youtube-specific cookies between interfaces and actions. It's doing the equivalent of performing each action in a blank slate incognito/private window AFAIK.

Only cookies I've seen discussed are recaptcha cookies, which can be cleared in the settings (Settings -> History and Cache -> Clear recapcha cookies) however no cookies of this type are stored unless you have actually solved a captcha in NewPipe

100%. I have yet to see somewhere that sells display furniture/appliances at full price, usually they knock some off due to shop guests messing around with it, wear and tear

Second this. Zorin OS, and Mandriva Linux (before they went bankrupt, and the community picked up development) were my first exposure to Linux over a decade ago, and the ux familiarity really helps a ton.

A lot of the other distros had funny stuff going on with multiple docks, open apps showing in the top dock, others looked like a Stardock Special and it was just a little confusing for younger me lol

It's something I can take up to some extent, less so at the moment though due to work and trying to get myself into a routine lol.

I have a local lemmy.world account @[email protected] which would be more ideal than this remote one

I do have some additional questions and potential ideas - an immediate concern would be myself getting blocked by users who blocked the bot to hide the daily threads ๐Ÿ˜‚ so ideally would want to make sure the new human-posted "how are you doing" threads actually bring value to users rather than encourage a handful of the 6k subs to block me lol.

Could ask the community what their thoughts on the existing daily thread are - it looks like a great discussion starter to me personally, after looking at a handful they have a noticeable following with a few common users

Ohhh my apologies - just went again to look and saw it. I think I missed it because it doesn't show as an image until you tap it

That community looks neat, subscribed!

But i'm not too sure how I feel about the bot being unlabeled as such, some users will want their lemmy experience to be 100% heart beating human, not some of it be transistor switching bots.

I personally keep bots visible, and just block what I don't want to see... If a user has blocked all bots then they would probably know the implications.

If you want to run a daily thread for conversations which isn't tagged as a bot, it would be nicer to create it manually, where the title and description has a personalised touch with how you're doing etc, instead of a schedule bot pre-filling these from a template

This would fit in pretty nicely at [email protected] too

X.509 certs are commonly used in TLS/HTTPS.

Why is one needed in your boot process?

Don't know why but I found this funny

Edit: sorry, I may have misunderstood your post - free email != email masking.

My original post below...


Curious why you consider email address masking services as for those with "drastic anonymity" requirements?

I personally don't think so: they are pretty much just a digital P.O. box, and are typically not anonymous in any way (subpoena/court order to the provider). They are built-in to Firefox too, it will automatically create new ones OOTB as you sign up on websites, if you click the autofill.

They are however IMO one effective tool out of many to restrict the ability of data brokers and hacking groups (aggregated breach datasets) alike from making money from your online presence without your consent.

In almost all cases this data is freely searchable for law enforcement and private investigators, allowing them to avoid going through the legal system to investigate and possibly detain you for things you're not guilty of

Yepp looks like this is the one - thank you!
