My previous main instance got a pretty bad case of ded. 🥲

For finding content creators on alternative services, maybe use Grayjay for Android? It aggregates multiple services into a single, mostly concise UI, and when you do a search, Grayjay can search all services at once. Also recently it added a recommended tab, which should help finding new channels on the go.
2·21 days agoBeen using NoPhoneSpam. While it won’t automatically block any numbers, it will cancel incoming calls not matching its filters. Only issue is that, some times, it takes a few seconds for it to recognize not passing calls, but I think it happens when the phone is under a higher load and the system starts lagging a bit, like when downloading bigger files and playing games.
If it’s a joke, totally missed the point, so sorry to teamevil if I sounded too coarse. "<.<
I do not have a newsletter nor I know what it has to do with the post.
Having disciplined myself to break such downward spiral cycles helped. That is, if I feel stagnant, I force myself to do something, anything else. Maybe it could help you too?
Safest measure, from what I understand, is to completely replace the system for a vanilla one - that is, without any software from Google or related - and then install alternatives unrelated to the datahoarding companies.
11·1 month ago[Copypasta of the other repost] While I know the situation described in the article can set a precedent, the title feels misleading at best, given the article describes a single case, and not (yet) a widespread practice.

And lastly, some UbO filters I made since I commented so much about them:

A few more (SFW) I forgot:
- https://www.gog.com/#giveaway (when a giveaway is present, it just scrolls you to that part of the front page)
- https://gaming.amazon.com/games (a cleaner redirect to
https://gaming.amazon.com/home?filter=Game) - https://www.zoom-platform.com/search/ (filtering in the site is still lacking, so my solution is a set of Ublock Origin filters)
- https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/browse?sortBy=currentPrice&sortDir=ASC&category=Game&count=40 (sorting by lowest price first - UbO helps here too)
- https://www.gog.com/en/games?priceRange=0,0&hideOwned=true (showing only the freebies, permanent or otherwise, from the whole catalogue, and filtering out what the user already has)
- https://randombundlegame.com/ (not directly useful, but maybe people can use it to keep an eye whenever another massive bundle pops up)
Of the NSFW ones, first the DLsite ones (so many because the store is split in multiple sections, and so much noise in the links because filters are hardcoded into them):

Should I list the NSFW resources too?
As much as GOG/CD Projekt have more than their fair share of problems, usually their versions of games work, can be preserved, don’t require as much bloat, launchers included, and usually don’t require 3rd party validation. And like others said, besides Wine and related, and installing through Steam as external games, you can also install stuff very easily through Heroic and the sort. So I’d say it’s the better option indeed.
Besides Flatpak, Heroic also has an official AppImage version, if the OP wants to have an even more portable program.
Look for games that are sold DRM free. Those can’t be taken from you by devs or the store after backed up. And usually devs and/or stores that deliberately sell such games also make it clear people can keep their games.
41·2 months agoWhen I noticed meds weren’t being beneficial anymore for me, I stopped taking them and started trying to spot where my focus-related issues were and how I could change them. It hasn’t been a smooth sail and requires a lot of discipline, but so far that helped me more than any medications.
Maybe this helps?

I use it on PC, and from what I just tested on my phone, it seems to work fine.
Found something: Apparently Recochoku occasionally sells music videos, but the store is blocked outside of Japan.
Remedies don’t do anything for me, so instead, I try to change my behaviors and mindset. It’s hard since it’s a tug of war against myself, but I think I am getting better. And as the saying goes, to solve a problem, first the person needs to know he/she has a problem, so I try to keep an eye for potential issues I may have.
The more concerning part is the bootloader that keeps being made more and more cumbersome to unlock. Not as easy to install one’s system of choice when you need to beg the device maker to allow access to the part of the system required for that. =/
