I refuse to use that piece of crap. We have to use MS at work and they gave us free 10 TB with our volume license, and the only thing on it are documents saved by accident because it set itself up as default save as location on some clients without being asked for. Utter garbage.

Use the browser version in Edge. That and outlook are the only two things I’m using that browser for, and it works great. The standalone software is an utter disaster.

That was the first instance out there, so amany early adopter communities are hosted there. I’ve blocked a handful problematic users and all the communist stuff and other topics I don’t agree with or care about, but by and large it’s alright.

Hexbear.net and lemmygrad.ml are instances I’ve blocked altogether.

You can add the function easily using https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.llamalab.automate, no root needed.

I’ve added this function manually using Automate (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.llamalab.automate).

You can trigger it to reboot on inactivity using some advanced parameters, but I’ve simply set it up to reboot at 3.30 AM every day, that way it’s also clearing the cache.

This is how it looks like - the 5 min wait timer is to prevent a reboot loop if the phone is still booted up at 3.30 again.

Don’t they auto update the OS when connected to a charger? But even then, that would have triggered a reboot already.

Not really. Brexit is permanent.

Nextcloud is federated? First time I hear about that.

For me it’s Lemmy, without a doubt. Never used Twitter, tried mastodon to see what it’s all about, didn’t like it.

Matrix seems decent, but nobody I know uses it, and finding useful groups is painful, especially on other instances (servers, whatever they call them).

Yep, and having used sync for over a decade makes me not miss reddit at all. It looks nearly identical anyway, I never used either website unless for the initial signup.

From is underrated? I didn’t know that, been watching it religiously.

An older favorite of mine was The 4400 (the reboot is absolute dogshit though). Unfortunately they cancelled it after 4 seasons, but the original authors published 2 books afterwards to finish the storyline.

Other series I enjoy that aren’t on most people’s radar (primarily for being British, mostly crime):

1. Vigil (crime series dealing with an investigation on board of a nuclear submarine, 2 seasons, closed storyline).
2. Unforgotten (crime, every season starts with an old body being discovered and then showing all people affected by the loss of said person over time until they eventually get closure. Highly empathic actors and excellent character development, season 6 currently being filmed).
3. Death in Paradise (iconic light entertainment crime series playing on a remote Caribbean island where changing inspectors from England with various degrees of clumsiness are being sent to solve murders. Every episode is usually a closed case. Season 14 to start end of year).

3 years is nothing. Stocks move.

The OP is talking about the UK though.

The tax income of the government is a percentage of the GDP, and taxes are in the end where money for investments into infrastructure and other stuff comes from.

If investments must be done regardless, it means the government has to borrow money and pay it back plus interest in the future, which again is paid for with tax money.

So if the GDP sinks, future tax income must increase to balance it - either through an increase in GDP down the road, or through higher taxes.

A reduction in GDP also means that either local consumers aren’t buying as much, or exports are shrinking, both of which are negative indicators for the local labour market and lead to layoffs.

Have a look at gullo.me, their entry level vps was just $2 or something.

Edit: https://hosting.gullo.me/pricing (apparently the cheapest is $3.5 - annually)

With no atmosphere and the sun going nova, there’s a chance of the rock getting obliterated. With a nice boost you might fly off to another planet eventually. Might not be inhabited or even inhabitable, but hey.

The article said that they track the movements of bodyguards. I doubt Trump or Biden use anything remotely related to fitness. Obama might have.

I’m using Fennec which also removes telemetry, but many standard users are not comfortable installing apps that aren’t on Google play.

They mention that the shared codebase means they can add functions back in, so there’s that. To me that reads like a hard fork that they’d have to maintain independently.

The link you shared is the company profile only and doesn’t mention any controversy about telemetry being shared with China.

I’ve been googling for a bit, and there are articles concerned this might happen from 2016 when the takeover was announced, and plenty of discussions on reddit, hacker news, y-combinator, quora and even on the official Opera forum (not deleted or redacted, mind you), but there wasn’t any clear evidence that telemetry is being shared.

While the concern remains valid, I’m also asking myself whether it’s that much worse than Chrome, Brave or Firefox sending telemetry to the US? I’m neither American nor Chinese, and would consider both governments hostile. Which one of them has access to my data is merely a choice between plague and cholera.

So in the end it’s on informed users to block transmission of telemetry themselves, regardless of their browser of choice.

151 including bots, and 551 communities (I usually browse by /all and just block everything I don’t care about, mostly anime, gaming, regional politics and sports).
