open camera pretty much always delivers worse results than gcam, have you tried it?

I haven't. I'll give it a try! Thanks!

tried to visit it without ublock, I still don't see any ads at all and see no reason why there would be any, can you tell me were are the ads?

Here is a screenshot:

I do have to wonder if this is a net negative. At least for me, it significantly reduces trust and respect for the website and developer, while I can't imagine the traffic produces any meaningful revenue?

Edit: Just realized it's the same ad 4 times, haha. (I think the 5th one, offscreen, was the same too.)


What's fascinating to me is it looks totally different for me when I turned off my adblocker. We are i guess targeted differently by these ad companies. https://files.catbox.moe/9einuv.png

your ad is worse because it looks like it could be part of the website...

With ublock origin, none of that appears on the site.

No wonder regular people hate technology.

Wouldn't make more sense to not store information (or have it encrypted without proton having access to it), so they would have nothing to share even if they were forced to comply?

please stop spreading lies, Wikipedia is swimming in money and they have money for years or even decades if they would not waste them on various seminars and other nonsense unrelated to running Wikipedia

Not, if you start calling US+Israel an Epstein coalition (forces). :-)


Wait, you need to go to about:config to customize your right click context menu by disabling items one by one and you don't have normal Settings UI to customize it?

As long term Outlook.com user all I can say it's their service is extremely unreliable, my emails are either not delivered at all or end up in junk mail, some emails I don't receive at all or my partners are rate limited sometimes receiving their emails with hours long delays.

I assume also their junk filters block some emails and there is no way to avoid it, you repeatedly add senders to safe senders list, even to safe subscriptions and their email still end up marked as junk even after years long communication from same addresses.

As backup when something important I write email to recipient from gmail whether they received my email from outlook only to find out my email was never received.


You can have more than 32GB RAM in T470s (btw. I'm using T480s with 40GB RAM)

that depends what you consider a healthy resale value, I bought my Pixel 6a with no issues for 100EUR :-) (and not because I care about Google's business, I don't have gapps in my phone, I just like good deals/VFM)

> The small form factor phones simply do not sell.

yeah, clearly nobody buys Samsung Galaxy S series for years, they are like the least popular Android phone model... /s

I'm running Pixel 6a (which was followed bu successors with worse screen:body ratio for years and only now the new Pixels finally matched and slightly improved the ratio, what a progress), but considering all the HW issues (baterries and displays) with Pixels I'd rather avoid it, the worst case will buy as next phone Xiaomi and hopefully somehow unlock it, if there is no suitable Motorola

edit: added HW issues explanation since I am rate limited on comments


yeah pixel used to be great. probably the best phone I ever owned after iPhone SE was a Pixel 3a.

till I got the abomination that was a pixel 6a. fucking overheated - then finally battery exploded. Other pixels suffer the same problems as well - overheating n display being finnicky.


What are the HW issues with Pixels?

> yeah, clearly nobody buys Samsung Galaxy S series for years, they are like the least popular Android phone model... /s

I don't think the smaller Galaxy S models are what people generally mean when they talk about small phones, those are still much bigger than the iPhone Mini was.

it's literally one of the smallest Android phones with good specs

here you have filtered Android phones since 2020 under 71mm with OIS camera

it's basically just Samsung S series, Pixels, overpriced bad value Sony and few exotic/abandoned phones (Asus is done with phones, they had always horrible SW, Xiaomi only model 12 many years ago, Meizu not available outside China)
