Hi! I’m Katherine, or webkitten. I’ve been on the internet since our family got our first computer - a Tandy Sensation.
Yes, I went to computer camp as a kid and learned how to program BASIC on Radio Shack TRS-80 Model 4.
I’m trans, queer, and bisexual. #actuallyautistic
I started programming with PHP in the mid 90s and haven’t stopped. I’m an advocate for the open web; I used Netscape as long as I can remember.
I have an obsession with Hello Kitty, Moogles, and Squishmallows.
This is exactly why the first thing I did was disable updates for Nova, just in case.
I have been using Lawnchair Nightly as my default home screen though; there are a couple of things that aren’t carried over from Nova (mainly folder and tabs in app drawer) but for the most part it’s pretty comparable.
Doing a pure EU PDS is great; hopefully they do a Webview too, so that moderation and trust and safety aren’t at the behest of US Bsky.
If media companies make it impossible to buy and own content, then pirating is not unethical.
So it’s less a Siri upgrade and more just a getting rid of Siri and putting in Gemini slop.
Weird how many billionaires are just openly pro paedophia.
Wait’ll you find out that over half the states in the US have age gating laws on the internet.
Don’t praise Cloudflare or Italy; both are part of the problem.
Adguard won’t work but uBlock Origin on Librewolf or Firefox works with at least the EasyList subscription (possibly Peter Lowe’s too). You can also use either the built in tracker in Vivaldi (just go to Settings > Privacy and Security > Manage Sources) and enable EasyList/disable the Allow ads from our partners).
Vivaldi also supports MV2 uBlock Origin for now; it will say it’s not supported but Vivaldi is fighting the removal of MV2).
I’ve had a good mix of filters and haven’t gotten the adblock warning for Youtube (knock on wood). It’s been a while since configuring but I think enabling Disable pre-fetching (to prevent any connection for blocked network requests and I’m an advanced user will help out.
I have all the uBlock Filters, EasyList, AdGuard, AdGuard/uBO – URL Tracking Protection, Block Outsider Intrusion into LAN, Online Malicious URL Blocklist, Phishing URL Blocklist
You could always just install Linux Mint and then install the Mint XP theme. No Microsoft Account required.
There is an opt-out. It’s called deleting your account. An people should do it.

To Torvalds, Chromebooks “are the path toward the desktop.”
Please don’t associate Linux with a close-source proprietary neutered web browser owned by an ad company.

But not what Loop users can see.
I believe this one is the original which was linked on the original bsky post, too: https://archive.org/details/3mam75w3oec2n
Thanks! That seems wild, I never knew that existed.
What is a GeForce Now Subscription and why would you want a subscription to your graphic card? 🤔
The early 2000s music sharing software company LimeWire — now resurrected as a crypto company by new owners — won rights to the infamous Fyre Festival in an auction that was held on eBay, reportedly beating out Ryan Reynolds’ company for the rights.
Just get it on archive.org; it’s probably a lot safer.
They already know about Anna’s Archive considering the disruption back during the summer.
It has basic app folders; I just meant some of the controls that you can do in Nova like setting folders to specific tabs, showing apps in folders in main draw, etc.
