2 days, LMAO

Google’s default implementation IS proprietary, so while the spec isn’t, the mass-adopted deployment is. Google is in the middle, unless you use a different app (if that’s even possible, I don’t know as I don’t Android).

How would they find that info from the outside, though? Or are you saying they are hooked into Amazon’s internal data harvesting ecosystem?

What are they monitoring on Amazon, the fake reviews?

Try to only tackle one project at a time. It gets exponentially more stressful trying to juggle a bunch of incomplete projects. Also, you’ll never be “done”. That’s not the point. The point is shelter and comfort.

If you’re East Coast, I think you’ve just given up too early. Plenty of pests on the West Coast, too. There are also plenty of organic ways to keep them in check. Will you have perfect harvest? Never, but that doesn’t mean you can’t have anything at all.

Some do. Grass just got into the pop culture as the “proper” look for a residential property. But having fruit trees is amazing, especially in spring when they are all in bloom with flowers.

Mozilla’s approach to Manifest V3 prioritizes user choice and control, offering developers more APIs and supporting both Manifest V2 and V3. This contrasts with Google’s approach, which limits extension functionality and will phase out Manifest V2 by mid-2025.

You can set up NextDNS on the router to cover every device on the network. My family is all over the country, so the app was easier for my use case.

If you want cheap and easy, something like NextDNS. Otherwise, your tentative plan works just as well. My family liked NextDNS because all I had to do was have them install an app, enter my code (for the profile I configure for them), and set it to on. The rest was magic, to them.

The double standard being they will absolutely use AI to filter through applications. They are pure scumbags.

The “wait for it to be accepted or declined” part is where most in this thread diverge. Time off is a notification, not a request, no matter what the HR platform or managers call it. Now, you can be a dick about it and not give any lead time for management to prepare for your absence, or not, and that would have obvious consequences.

I’ve always treated it as a notification, not a request, even early in my working career when in retail where you have low-skill power-tripping middle managers that think they can just say no. I was never fired for it, but you can be sure those managers hated me for it, nonetheless. Zero minutes of sleep lost.

Seconded on NextDNS. It’s like $20/year for the “pro” version (no monthly limits) and I honestly cannot recall the last time I saw an ad on any device I control. The sole exception is my Apple TV, where one of the apps I use has ads injected into the video, so, no way to block those.

If advertisers truly cared about serving the customers they claim to care so much about, the ad networks would have better standards and more safeguards to prevent malware. I’d still block them, I just wouldn’t feel the same level of pride in blocking them for both annoyance and safety factors.

Yes but the difference is they were opting their readers in. Now Google is hijacking content without consent if the site owner.

Doing anything on Facebook is the opposite of private.

I’m on LibreWolf. What made you switch?

I wish they’d propose a mandate on having the option for disconnected vehicles sold in the US, instead. Privacy-conscious people should not have to resort to finding and disconnecting antennas to reclaim privacy from sketchy data collection. I get that China is the big bad wolf in this discussion, but American companies are just as bad with the data hoarding and erosion of privacy.

Hm, unemployment collection and/or EEOC action for constructive dismissal, cool. My disability is “unable to work when off the clock”.

Just having the video player be the same across all sites is a win, I don’t even need the multi-threading or pre-cache entire video to love this.

I don’t think I did. I just assumed it would be impossible to detect the home network automatically once WiFi was automatically switched off. Unless off isn’t actually off. Or the “auto on” part was location based.
