“Drunk”
The irony of the autistic person using a metaphor, and someone else taking it too literally. You have to laugh!
I’m not going to get into the technical details of manifest v2 and v3, as I think it’s beside the point.
I think we can agree that given Google has announced the end of v2, recommending uBlock Origin on Chrome right now would be pretty mad, right?
Ublock on Firefox. Remember Google just kneecapped adblockers on Chrome!
Yeah we have that meaning too :D
Makes a great lightweight dutch oven as well (especially when hard anodised). Non stick, doesn’t rust, still distributes and holds heat really well, and about 1/3 of the weight.
And people who have no time install gentoo? Pull the other one :D

I started in 2012, and it wasn’t that difficult. I’d say I do about 30mins of maintenance every other month. It took me a while to work out the config originally, but I wrote a guide afterwards which was really popular for other people doing the same thing (it’s quite out of date now but the principles are the same).
Started out using a raspberry pi (which was also hosting a website at the time) but when I moved house to somewhere with a worse internet connection I migrated to a VPS, so there is a cost but it’s not enormous, maybe £20/month.
Don’t even bother if you can’t use a static IP, because all your email will be bounced if your PTR record for the IP (reverse DNS record) doesn’t match your domain name.
It got a bit more complicated when people started adding extra layers of spam protection like SPF, DKIM and DMARC, but those are mostly set and forget.
Overall, I’d say it’s worth it but only because I find it quite interesting/fun.
Google is unavoidable but I do my best to mitigate the worst parts of their privacy intrusions.
I have a pixel phone running grapheneOS with Google Services Framework installed but without Google Play or Gboard or any of that stuff. For me that’s a balance that works.
I host my own email server so no Gmail.
I also host my own Matrix server and avoid WhatsApp where possible (not Google but just as bad if not worse).
I use YouTube but via Newpipe or using Ublock origin on Firefox (not logged in obviously).
Chrome is genuinely worse than Firefox now that Google have made adblocking more difficult with manifest v3.
You just have to decide what the best tradeoff is between privacy and convenience.
Yeah, because nobody is a captive of Linux, all the corporate and societal pressure is the other way towards Mac and Windows.
Who hurt you (before Google)?
Redreader uses the official API, they have an exception from paying (for now) because they have accessibility features that most apps including the official one lack.
Everyone loves the D
