Hey, thank you so much for mentioning this!

Some people just take it way too far to the point that it starts actively harming them Yes, I agree.

Addiction to porn is harmful (just like any addiction), it causes the addict to be more lonely, and think of women as sex objects.

Masturbation addiction is a huge time waster(again just like any addiction).

Thanks for the recommendation, the article is interesting and gives me some hope.

Some games I play are only on windows.

I also like separating serious stuff and gaming, in this case, windows for gaming, linux for anything else.

But thanks for asking, All the best!

Thanks for the suggestion, but its a windows problem because linux (I dualboot) doesnt suffer from this.

Tried playing the same game in both Operating systems. windows HEAVILY throttled after ~15 minutes, linux smoothly throttled (the game ran in ~25 fps after the overheating in linux, while in windows it ran ~1 fps)

Linux throttles early so I usually need to lower the graphics to enjoy a more consistent 60 fps.

I always quit midgame, because in windows, whenever my laptop over heats, windows fails to smoothly throttle and the game starts running on less than 1 fps.
even the windows UI runs slow.

To fix the issue, I reset windows for the third time now, hopefully it fixes it self.

EDIT: This issue isnt software issue, because linux doesnt suffer from this

I dont read books much, but right now, I have been reading Arsene Lupin, and I am planning to read the other story of Arsene Lupin vs Sherlock Holmes.

I unfortunately watched porn too, and I regret every second I wasted watching porn.
Supported sex trafficking without even knowing, and ruined my life with it.

Not proud of what I did, I am disgusted.

Ah, it makes sense, ddg browser uses builtin webview, of course it is lighter.

You can keep using DDG app protection, but you can reduce the battery usage of tracker control by going into settings and disabling “find new trackers”

This option finds and shows you the trackers each app has, disabling it will stop finding the trackers but will continue to block them.

I’m curious to see how long I can keep it out of landfill. I’m trying for 2028, as a personal challenge. That will be almost 10 years out of a $200 phone

All the best with that.

Good for you, that’s great.

But have you tried TrackerControl ? It can restrict internet from apps, and block trackers.

I heavily recommend it, since you can also monitor and block system apps .

DDG App Tracking Protection isnt as effective, but it is extremely easy to use and breakage is minimal.

As for the DDG browser, I only use it when the website I am visiting doesnt work on firefox.

These are my predictions, it doesn’t look hopeful, unfortunately:

More division between people, like these labels: immigrant, christian, terrorist, Arab, Indian, pakistani. Why? Because we are stronger together, united, but the elites, or the devils, dont like that.

Starvation becomes more common, due to food waste, climate change, and the economy.

Freedom is non existent, unless you are very wealthy.

Its awful, but I hope things go better.

This week has been feeling calm, I have been feeling suspiciously good.
I am not doing well with studies, so this feeling is very confusing.

probably the calm before the storm.

For notetaking, I use butterfly, very recommended.
it has infinite canvas, various pen options to fine tune how the pen works, and settings to change what each input does. (like touch is for selection, stylus is for pen, stylus button is for erasing)

Give it a try, I am sure you will like (if you hand draw your notes), especially after the 2.4 update, the dev fixed alot of bugs.

For pdf annotations, I use samsung notes (butterfly isnt as good for that in my opinion)

I dont think this will only apply to facebook. they also own whatsapp, instagram, and messenger.

Yet, instead of fixing the moderation problem they have, they just focus on targeting adblockers, because removing pornographic ads HaRmS the EcOnOmY and the ChiLDerN!!1

They even made another entire manifest version to make adblockers perform worse, but no real changes to moderation.

IIRC the server manager hasnt been available since October.

The server crashed recently.

Haha, thanks for exposing yourselves!
Their logic probably was like:
how can we make our users trust us?
How about we tell them that we can view the footage of any ring camera for security purposes? They will love us! They will think we are the ones whom keep this earth safe! We will be their saviors !

Very happy to see it backfire.

The same thing with muslims and immigrants.

IMMIGRANT SAYS BAD WORDS TO AN AMERICAN!!!
“MUSLIMS” ARE BEING RACIST WITH TRUMP!!!

reading such headlines are enough to convince someone to change their opinion on something.

This is a very common problem unfortunately.

Where should I post this then?
