You’re right - it’s great to be able to crosspost, but every fediverse software is totally allowed their own features and if other systems don’t display it correctly, that’s also ok.

But in this case, Mastodon really is missing some kind of “group” feature. We kind of have this with the a.gup.pe - Tool, but it would be nice to bring some order into that chaos.

So, what would be the best way to “block the internet” on an Android phone while still being somehow able to use it for communication with the family & friends, navigation and stuff like that?

Yeah, but computers and smartphones are kind of like food - people need them, they are not luxury goods. You might be able to use your old laptop a while longer or keep using your broken smartphone, but if it really breaks, you will buy another one regardless of tarrifs.

Yeah, because Manifest v3 is just being rolled out as described in the article.

duckduckgo browser is based on Chromium (as nearly every other “alternative” browser is) and therefore will use Manifest v3 and neuter uBlock.

To totally confuse you: The USA uses the “standard litre” while Europe uses “normal litre”:

Peertube won’t cut it. Those people in the article have thousands of hours of videostreams there. If you’re streaming at 1080p, that will be around 1.5GB of storage per hour. 4k will be worse. So if you have 5000 hours of videos like the one guy in the article, that is a neat 7500GB or 7.5TB of video. There is no instance around that will allow you to save that amount of videos.

So hosting your own instance would be the only way. Looking at Hetzner storage box, 10TB of data will cost you 25€/month or 300€/years. That is money, but should be possible to pay out of your own pocket.

There are better gadgets to track your sleep. If you want to just track how you’re sleeping, get a cheap fitbit. Withings or Apple Watch are also able to detect sleep apnea

You should at least play around with the export options and do regular exports. You really don’t want your diary of over 5 years to be stuck in an unmaintained app. And since this seems to be supporting exporting into markdown - maybe try an export and checkout logseq or Obsidian?

Just imagine how much energy it must cost to provide this garbage to every mail going through Yahoos servers.

Let’s be honest: Everything that might be “worse” or “annoying” in Firefox for someone is not relevant in comparison to “no working adblocker available”. A browser without adblock is unusable

• a $2000 bed
• with a $19/month subscription
• which is a full linux computer
• full of security holes
• that allows the company to ssh into your bed
• that totally could give those guys access into your local network
• the CEO is flirting with DOGE and is offering them free beds
• they are tracking your sleep data and tweeting about it

WTF?

If they open source all their code, some tech wizard will implement a self hosted obsidian sync server with the same convenience as theirs in a day, and the company will lose their revenue stream

Obsidian is storing everything as plaintext files. Those convenient selfhosted sync solutions have been out there for years.
