I’m in an apartment building, so I just browse the one here whenever I take the trash out. I don’t think anyone has noticed, or they’ve elected to mind their own business if they have.
There’s so much stuff that could still be used that it honestly isn’t funny, and that’s just in my own bin. How much more is being wasted across the country? But at least it’s in the recycling and not the trash, so that’s something, I guess.
No, but I did get an Xbox that only needed a power cable.
Digging through e-waste bins is one of my hobbies.
That is useful, but I see it’s a third-party feature. I was able to find a “send to Kindle” page on Amazon that would allow the sending of a page as a PDF file.
What did tap to turn do?
You can do that just with Firefox’s syncing feature though. You don’t even have to save it intentionally; so long as you’re logged in on both devices it’ll be listed in your history and/or open tabs.
You’d need the PC equivalent of a grandma with dementia for it to struggle running Firefox. Anecdotally, I game with my tab collection regularly with no issues, but here’s a more scientific test: https://www.howtogeek.com/how-many-tabs-does-it-take-to-slow-down-your-browser/
But even in that case, just bookmark, save, and/or archive the pages in question? It doesn’t make sense for them to maintain servers and code on a service so easily replicated by the browser itself.
You’d need the internet to sync with Pocket on another device. If you need the page on the same device, you can save it as a PDF.
I’m just not sure what a read later app is even for. Can’t you just leave the tab open?
I don’t really understand why everyone’s telling you about torrents when you don’t need them to watch movies. Like, it’s nice if you want Blu Ray quality or have bad internet or something, but you don’t need to download stuff unless you really want to. I just use uBlock Origin with Firefox and one of a few streaming sites. You can find a list here: https://wiki.dbzer0.com/piracy/megathread/movies-and-tv/ (Scroll down to streaming and try one out.) It works on mobile, too.
Sometimes you’ll have to check multiple sites to find older, more obscure things, but for the most part they only really differ in their UI. Some anime sites even have options to skip the intro/outro and autoplay the next episode.
I can’t read the link because I’ve reached my limit for complimentary stories even though this is the first time I’ve ever even visited this website, to my knowledge.
But if we’re going to genetically modify the livestock, why don’t we turn their brains into figurative vegetables so that they don’t know or care that their living conditions are terrible?
Gonna echo the disappointment that they’ve elected to copy Duolingo’s translation model instead of a more immersive model like Rosetta Stone.
“I is middle country person,” is a perfectly sensible translation in my brain, but Duolingo and its clones are obsessed with getting the particulars of English correct. The mindset of Mandarin grammar is exactly where I want to be, and the insistence on returning to English is very disruptive.
It’s not that paying for things is bad. The problem is that good software is vital to digital artists’ income, and both purchasing and learning that software is a substantial investment. When a company sells or otherwise enshittifies their software, the artist is then put in a very hard place. Open-source software is the only way to combat that unfortunately likely scenario. By all means, please pay for that software if you can afford to. Doing so subsidizes usage for less fortunate people who may be able to better their situation as a direct result of your generosity.
I would like ads in the context of places where I’m looking for a good or service, or where volunteering such information would be potentially beneficial to me. Things like voluntarily signing up for specific advertising emails or related products on a store page. Ads should serve people, not manipulate them and clutter up the town.
Also as long as we’re still doing capitalism, I really like being able to get things for free in exchange for viewing ads. It makes things much more available to us poors.
I had an idea about getting rid of decorative packaging and logos. You’d have the name and information of the product in a selection of pre-approved fonts, colors, and layouts. No misleading photographs or cute characters or your founder’s heartwarming life story.
That reminds me of when we used to use the phone book.
They aren’t though. They’re rectangular at the top and then have cylinders coming out the bottom. I think the heels of his shoes might be square on the bottom.
Making me realize Spongebob isn’t even square.
I think y’all who are upset over the use of “freeware” are out of touch with how language is used in non-expert settings. Like, I’m definitely more tech-savvy than most people and I still didn’t know about “FOSS” as a term until seeing it on Lemmy and looking it up. This just means “free software” to me and doesn’t imply anything negative.
It even says, “the premier free and open source image editing software for multiple platforms” right in the first paragraph, so what’s the issue? Do you think the headline will mislead someone into thinking that GIMP is proprietary?
I’m just lucky enough to have one at my apartment building, and very wasteful neighbors.
