Yeah. People can avoid all this nonsense by installing one simple app… Duck duck go browser.
You don’t have to use the browser. It just sits in the background quietly blocking tracking requests from other apps.
It’s absolutely horrifying on first use to see how egregious tracking is.
I’m using Sync to write this comment :)
Same. I don’t agree with Starmer on everything (eg his cannabis policy), but it’s nice to have a grownup in charge again. Instead of a performing monkey desperate for a new sound bite so we forget last week’s disaster.
If I see a freezer / fridge door open in a supermarket, I close it. Not for the supermarket, but for the planet
as someone who stacked shelves as a teen, if I take an item and it leaves a gap, I pull the next one forward so the employee doesn’t have to keep fussing over the manager’s demand for it to be lined up
my dad lives in a bungalow, on a small cul de sac of other bungalows. Sheltered housing for old folks. Litter often gets blown in and collects, I’ll pick it up every couple of weeks. Also cleared their paths / sprinkled salt when It snowed
when old people are in the way, I don’t crowd up behind them. I’ll take a few steps back and wait so they don’t feel pressured
if there’s an item in the road that could damage someone’s car, I’ll wait until it’s safe then remove the item
if I see someone was down voted just for sharing their opinion (assumedly because the down voter is too childish to withstand an opposing opinion), I make sure to up vote it in an attempt to restore balance. Even if I don’t agree with said opinion (obviously this doesn’t apply to hateful rhetoric etc)
Prob a ton of other little things I can’t remember. Thanks for making this post!
I’ve been playing Control on and off since 2019… I finally completed it this week.
There was always something that halted my progress… Frustration with the map, boredom with progression, unfixable crashing. Decided to give it one more go on a new gpu and finally it clicked :)
Now I’m doing all the awesome post game content.
This is so dumb and I love it
Whenever I release music myself, I actively block it in Russia, because they relentlessly steal my trance / freeform releases and upload them in warez sites.
Of course geoblocking can be circumvented by a determined pirate but it helps to not be on their radar in first place as a lesser known artist.
As an example, once I released a freeform album. Freeform is a very niche, small scene. It was on Russian forums within a couple of days. Fortunately one of my fans notified me, I had a Russian friend contact the site on my behalf to explain that I’m a poor struggling artist, and they’re literally taking money out of my pocket; to my surprise they agreed to take the links down.
No Man’s Sky - Finally lifting off the planet into space for the first time reignited my love of space and the cosmos. Made me feel awe and wonder
The Stanley Parable - never had a game make me laugh till I had tears in my eyes before. This game really fucks with your perception of what is real and just how common / predictable some gaming tropes have become
Surprise, the game company which does next to fuck all to stop predators grooming kids on their app… turns out they were also up to no good.
My niece was groomed on roblox aged 10 by a Russian man. From what I gather, she’s just one of many to have been abused through this game.
Crazy that I’ve been downvoted for offering factual help, while the comment which is provably incorrect is up voted
