Ensure you have multiple layers of ad blocking. A winning combination blocks first at the DNS level, then at the browser level, and finally at the element level.

AsGuard DNS, uBlock, and ABP.

I virtually never see ads.

This is just on the outside edge of A Clockwork Orange.

Good bot.

Been running AdGuard for years once mobile DNS profiles became available. Hardly see any ads, and (on the rare occasion) when I do, they’re jarring and out of place.

This is what notification profiles were built for. Set it to work/school/whatever and select who you want to get through and notifications are delivered, all else are silenced.

I even have one called “Blackout”. Nothing gets through, no one is approved, everything is silenced—for when I absolutely must not be disturbed.

print(“Hello, World!”)

Best I can do.

Computing without databases is like going into a grocery store and all of the items are in one great pile. Sure, given enough time (CPU) and resources (RAM) you could find what you’re looking for, but it’s horribly inefficient.

Instead, things which are similar are grouped together, like the baking aisle (tables) and if you have to get most of the items for a cake, you know it’s on a specific shelf.

They have yacht expenses!

I went into my pair of bone conducting headphones (I have Shokz) understanding their purpose, namely that they are not for an audiophile level sound experience; they are for being able to be active and hear music or audiobooks while maintaining situational awareness.

Once I discovered I could use mine in the shower, I was hooked.

Can’t do that with my Bose.

This worked for me before but I had to update my user-agent string in wget.

It will be licensed to manufacturers with advertising incentives and packaged into consumer electronics.

Savvy electronics users will supply their own HDMI cables; this product will be for people who only understand enough to plug the ends between their box and the entertainment system.

Hell, you might even see these cables being handed out for “free”, akin to the AOL disc days.

It seems they would like the flexibility to administrate the server any way which suits them. Using someone else’s server would complicate that, and expose their discussions to unknown administrators.

Those are just the things I can think of right off the bat.

Paywalled.

So, basically every AT&T customer.

Good bot.

I’ve got some Khail Coppers that are fairly quiet with low activation weight. My goal when getting them was to mimic the keypress of my MacBook.

You’ll like it. It’s really versatile and has been around for like 20+ years so lots of support for it. It can be pretty comprehensive.

If I understand what I’ve read, you may be interested in a SIP software called asterisk. It may do what you’re looking for.

Via their Sync service, yes. If you’re in the Apple ecosystem, they officially endorse iCloud to sync your files, which I personally use. They discourage using Dropbox, but I reckon it’s possible.

The thing I most appreciate about Obsidian is, for now at least, they at least partially embrace a sort of FOSS mindset in that they offer a proprietary thing via a sort of compromise: your data is stored in plain text in markdown, so it remains 100% portable and parseable by anything which can parse markdown.

But I get what you mean.
