Google’s widely opposed ad platform, the “Privacy Sandbox,” launches in Chrome
Chrome now directly tracks users, generates a "topic" list it shares with advertisers.
Automatically mark email as read when clicking on it from built-in Vivaldi email app?
For the past week I've been making the move from #Chrome to #vivaldi
So far very impressed with @Vivaldi
- Very fast
- Extremely Configurable.. I mean extremely
- Awesome Tab management
- Great in-built tools/utls
- Great privacy
- Web Panels
- Workspaces
- Session Management
- Web Panels
- Sync
and a lot more...
If you've not already thought about moving away from Chrome or just want to try something better I highly recommend Vivaldi.
Oh and they run their own Mastodon Instance !
@arstechnica I suspect NVIDIA would not be very amused by someone gatekeeping the tech NVIDIA developed behind a subscription.
New to Mastodon? Bookmark this handy glossary:
"toot" - post
"down the toot hole" - delete a post
"tootsday" - what we call Tuesday on here
"tootally" - self explanatory
"tickle the ivory" - post a toot
"miocene mastodonian" - old hand at tooting
"pliocene mastodonian" - just showed up, doesn't know it's called "tootsday"
Reminder to websites: if I generate a random 32-character password with Bitwarden and you won't accept it for ANY REASON AT ALL, your site is broken.
It's been a bit of a wild weekend in the #elitedangerous universe, with a trade #CG that paid (and still does; the CG is not done) ludicrous prices for gold and platinum (and jadeite, but nobody trades in that).
Within a day, all the gold for sale within >60 ly of Laedla was all but sold out, like some particularly selective and blingy locusts had swarmed through.
For myself, with only my Type-9, I made 5.7 BILLION credits by sunday, but by then gold was not available in useful quantities within range of one fuel tank.
So I bought a fleet carrier 
Say hello to the very orange BPFC Unreality.
On the way, I went from trade rank Elite to Elite V 
Weird point of annoyance:
I have a tendency to use antiquated language occasionally. Side effect of playing TTRPGs, reading older books, etc.
Problem is that spell checks keep getting upset about it. I swear to god, 'indelibility' is a word, and it's not friggin' misspelled.
Hmm, new #COVID data point. My son, the paramedic, says he's seeing a TON of new cases (hasn't been seeing any for months). Told me to wear a mask if I go out to the store tonight. #VenturaCounty #pandemic
Hey so does anyone here play #AmberDiceless? Never had any luck asking on twitter but people here skew older
Boosts would be nice. @Njord and I have been looking for a group to play with for many years now, to no avail
EDIT: Looks like there's enough people on here that would be interested in a game, so if you want to run one please let me know
Anybody confused why people still listen to turntables or CD players forget that they never:
- stop working because they can't connect to WiFi
- stop working because they need a firmware update
- stop working because the manufacturer dropped support
- say "if you like Bach you might like Taylor Swift"
- play ads
- recommend "turntable premium"
Gmail will start issuing 2FA challenges to change “sensitive” settings
Changes to email forwarding or filters will soon demand you verify who you are.
can’t stop thinking about this toot
Replaced a Dell 24 port network switch from 1998 today. Failed on a single port. Wonder how long the Netgear I put in it's place will last.
Need to find alternatives to Googles Photo storage, Drive, etc. Have been dependent on them for years and they've started charging for tools that have been available for free on their service for over a decade.
