Because most of my software doesn’t have support for webp, including but not limited to my Mac, phone, and messaging apps. Until everything supports it, I have to keep converting it to use it, so I just don’t bother saving anything as webp. In fact, I have a firefox extension that lets me save webp as other image formats.

It may be good to use for the web, but it’s not yet good for me.

There is a Magisk module to replace the Assisted-GPS Secure User-Plane Location (SUPL) provider to something that doesn’t use Google.

A firefox extension called Chameleon can spoof things like user agent, screen size and resolution, time zone, audio and media devices, and keyboard fingerprint, among others. It can also prevent etag tracking.

Thanks!

This of course requires using a JS management extension.

What’s a good extension for this? What do you use?

Wire.

I would imagine the risk depends on the app, your use case of the phone and the app, and if you’re a high-profile target.

That said, Android phones have an Android ID, an Advertising ID, a sim ID, wifi ID, bluetooth ID, MAC address, IMEIs, and more.

There is an Xposed module called Android Faker that claims to spoof these IDs. It requires root and something that can manage xposed modules, such as LSPosed. I only use it for a few super sketchy apps that I need and don’t trust.

I get it.

I can’t use discord because my privacy settings on my devices is such that discord demands my phone number from me, and that is not a piece of personally identifying information I will ever share with them.

I am guessing you don’t want an old Steam Controller? You might want the new one Valve is making, but unfortunately I don’t think details or a release date have been announced yet.

STOP USING DISCORD

I really wanted to play this before I knew it was predatory and manipulative gotcha garbage.

Trans men are (or can be) biologically male. The best term to use for ‘non-trans’ men would be cisgender men. ‘Biological’ is the preferred term that bigots use to spread misinformation and insinuate that trans people aren’t real, natural, or equal.

Someone else said it pretty well:

Biological sex is a construct. It is based on the observable traits of:

• Primary sexual characteristics

• Secondary sexual characeristics

• Gonadal Sex

• Chromosomal Sex

A fully medically transitioned trans person usually matches a majority of these, so it is totally reasonable to say trans women are biologically female, and trans men are biologically male. Generally, the binary categorization of sex is scientifically unsound; it should be understood as a spectrum.

If you live in the US, your state may have an “implied warranty” law that extends the warranty of the device you bought. I think for most states that have such laws, the warranty period is 4 years. Many states have such laws but I can’t find a list online. If you have an implied warranty and valve doesn’t honor it, you can get the state involved.

Sorry your Steam deck broke. Devices like this should last many years, especially when the only moving parts are the buttons and the fan.

I love backside buttons for you all who use them, but I don’t ever want them to be anything more than non-essential programmable buttons. I personally can’t stand them, but as long as they are optional for gaming, I don’t mind that they are there.

Yes. I use a FireFox extension called ViolentMonkey that allows you to install scripts.

There is a script called Simple YouTube Age Restriction Bypass: https://github.com/zerodytrash/Simple-YouTube-Age-Restriction-Bypass?tab=readme-ov-file

Install the script in Violent Monkey and you should be all set to watch age restricted videos in Firefox without signing in.

To be fair, plenty of telemetry is still being sent by Microsoft in Windows 10. It’s not as bad as 11 though.

Everyone talks about inflation but the reality is that people’s incomes generally have not risen to match it, so while I understand inflation, I also understand that I’m not actually making more money to offset it.

I don’t think there is anything stopping nintendo from making 64GB or larger cartridges except the cost.

Thank you for the clarification!

I still don’t like it.
