  • As a resident in a pretty rural area you might want to avoid moving to rural areas due to increased cancer rates due to pesticide use and poor water conditions. But don’t you worry about our poor corporations that are wrecking shit, our lovely governer passed legislation that prevents people from suing them. though her and the corporations assure us there is nothing to worry about. They pinky sweared and everything.






  • I use NextDNS and still run across this all the time on my tablet. In cases where it’s an ad that got filtered it usually leaves empty margins down the sides so the content is still limited to 1/3 of the screen. Other times the area is technically not an ad… But is just click bait shit. Other times it’s just random stuff.

    I’ve had some luck using Firefox. With UBlock Origin I can sometimes filter the sections out using their content zapper. With the Stylus extension I have had luck finding custom filters for some sites… But that works until that site updates their HTML a bit and then I start getting random weirdness.

    Don’t know… It’s just something I notice a lot when browsing the web on my tablet (and on the fold when I had it) and find to be a nuisance.


  • You get all of simplelogin with unlimited. There is a way to convert your login so you won’t lose your setup. And I BELIEVE that it prorated any unused time you had left on your simplelogin account, so you would get credit for the 3 months you have left when you convert it… But not 100% positive on that, check with support. But I do know when I converted mine a few days before simplelogin was going to expire I was charged for a new month of service with some credit applied. So there is a process.

    IMO if you’re using proton mail, and simple logon anyway and want a VPN then unlimited is kind of a no brainer. It works pretty great for me.


  • I liked my fold 3 but the screen protector was a pain in the ass especially since I live in a rural area. The closest place that could install new ones was 3 hours away. I attempted it twice and they had bubbles both times. A friend just removed her protector and 3 months later she had the black line going down the center of the screen. Foldables just seem a little too fragile to me.

    Also was kind of annoying because websites and apps would detect the wider screen and add a column down the side of the screen - featuring ads usually. Kind of a kick in the nuts to spend $1500 for a larger screen just to get more ads.

    That said, I kind of miss being able to run split screen with apps. It was handy to keep a messaging app on the right side of the screen while I browsed the web on the other.






  • Generally an Unpopular opinion

    You’re 100% correct though. Sponsors are exactly (long) ads and I have no personal problem skipping them after paying $17 a month for premium. If a creator has a problem with that they should take it up with Google. I’m paying for ad free, and that’s what I expect.

    If sponsorblock breaks I will be reevaluating my premium sub. Not that it will have a meaningful impact on Google or anything, but I’m just fucking sick of ads and am not going to pay to remove them and still get ads delivered to me.
