Can we just pretend that Twitter no longer exists?
All that Elon Musk still tries here is how far he has to go until Twitter finally collapses.

Ah. Didn’t know that. But they really limited functionality. I’ll give this a try to see if that’s all I need. Will continue to support my Add-on otherwise.
I already have a few that I developed and use all the time. It’s just difficult to get them set up currently.
For example I’ve developed a small Add-on which makes Android Firefox open PDF directly, just like the desktop browser does.
I did that years ago and then kept fiddling with the lfs subvolume sizes. I see absolutely no advantages to make things more complicated than needed.
One small /boot which is also my EFI system partition.
And a partition for / which covers all the rest of the drive.
Partitioning only limits flexibility. At some time you will regret your choice of partition sizes.
Good points. I would add that Google has a serious scam problem with their “ads” system. On YouTube I regularly get silly ads like “you won this big box of samples, just fill out our form with your personal data” or that silly app that claims it makes my phone flashlight project video onto walls.
I, myself, don’t trust anything advertised by Google.
I really like the JBL speakers. The “Go” is pretty impressive for its size and price. But the “Charge” really rocks. Easily runs for a whole evening AND night with one charge and has great base.
Google sees that their business is at risk.
Primarily Google is an advertisement company. And so their top priority is to profile you to serve you targeted ads. Every single product of Google has this number one priority.
At first: In most cases you don’t need and don’t want one.
I wanted to get one as I have several old (over two decades and more) Windows game CDs that I’ve bought long before switching to Linux. Back in the days it was actually a thing that sometimes malware slipped into professionally pressed CDs (especially on discs that came with PC game magazines or cheap game collection boxes).
For this case (Windows software check before attempting to run with wine) I can recommend ClamAV. It is open source and available on probably every distribution. But there is no need to attempt having it running all the time. I just run scans from the terminal whenever needed.
What does appear in “dmesg” when connecting this device?
So how does Google know my address? I don’t have it in my Google profile.
So Google will add a new form to my profile where I can enter all the information I want to be notified about? Full address, all my phone numbers, just to be sure my credit card number, …
And this will totally not be used for other purposes.
Nothing supports kbin as they (so far) do not have any official API to use.
It will be difficult to get around this on smartphones. Those are walled gardens already.
But I wonder how Google plans to make this “feature” for desktop PCs? Won’t work at all on Linux and Mac and requires a kernel level always on spy driver to watch the Chrome process to prevent tampering with it?
The problem is that Google is able to more or less dictate how the web works at that time. Apart from Firefox and Safari, which both only have a minor market share, pretty much everything is Chrome based.
If Google wants to push some silly idea just to ensure that their silly ads are not blocked, then they’ll do it. I fear that noone really can stop this stupid idea.
Maybe they still run on “new old stock” bulbs until they are used up. But even if they do, they clearly didn’t do the math. I’ve upgraded all my lighting to LED and binned all my incandescent stock.
The U.S. is pretty late with this, compared to the European Union. Only a few special bulbs are still sold here. Apart from that, the only allowed lighting technology is LED.
Do these still work for anyone?
