Switch location in Mullvad. I often find that solves any issues I see (such as poor speed or too many captchas …)

Even though I am sure I didn’t get all the imagery, I did enjoy it enough to watch the entire video. I did pick up on some of the anti-vax stuff and did not like that.

So what is the general approach that people use to go back to see if more comments are added?

For the old Reddit interface (that you can still go back to), between the post and the comments towards the right is a button labeled “subscribe”. Pressing that gives a popup saying “You are now subscribed … for 7 days …”.

During the next 7 days, if any new comments come in, you are notified about them.

If you go to “Your Dashboard” and then the “My Subscriptions” you can see your subscriptions and renew them (for more days or unsubscribe.)

You can use Joplin without any cloud sync at all and the notes just stay on your one device.

Joplin https://joplinapp.org/ It is a free an open source note taking app similar to Evernote. You can keep your data on a cloud service (such as Dropbox) to keep your notes in sync between Android, Windows, Linux and IOS or you can pay for Joplin Cloud storage.

The only way to know if a Black Friday price is good is to know the usual “regular” price of the item. That takes planning to jot the price down a month or more in advance and then wait to see what the Black Friday price is. It’s all a game.

The add-on Cookie AutoDelete allows way more flexibility with cookies including white listing cookies. Example: you could have all cookies deleted but not the ones on your whitelist. It has many other options for controlling cookies.

It says that the program depends on a non-free network service. Does that mean there is a subscription or other type of payment involved?

I like the app, but I don’t like the update. By adding graphics (that add no value) you have to do more scrolling to find what you are looking for. Still absolutely worth using though since their content is good.

They are both rolling releases. Rhino is based on Ubuntu and BlendOS is based on Arch. The difference is that Blend OS lets you install software from supported distributions (Arch, Fedora, and Ubuntu) into containers. Rhino (as far as I know) out of the box doesn’t do that.

Can’t wait for Kubuntu to get it!

I believe you can do this (and more) with Blend OS https://blendos.co/

Does startpage (startpage.com) protect you from this?

I got the pop ups for a while, then they went away. They are back again. Fortunately I am still able to ignore it and not see any adds. If there is a time where I am forced to watch adds, it will hurt, but I will give up YouTube. I hope others give it up and don’t cave if it comes to that.

I’ve used this on my Samsung phone and I’ve seen better battery life with so much junk running in the background.

Just picked up the update to 5.27.8 on Kubuntu 23.04 via the backports

I wish I would have known about this before buying the Pinetab2. I didn’t realize (completely my fault) that the Pinetab2 was a development unit without working wifi, bluetooth, camera and other issues. Once again, my fault, not Pine64’s.
