Having looked at various browsers and what calls they make, I noticed on Firefox and other android browsers that when Bypass Paywall Clean is installed from main source:

It makes calls to gitflic.ru quite often wether using a bypass website or not.
Anyone know on what the calls are about and if they are legitimate and or what telemetry is being shared?

I have purchased far more than I've ever obtained. In some cases I've double dipped and purchased multiple times.
The main issue is "can I obtain it legally and pay the original creators?" And secondary is "is this item reasonably priced and delivered in an accessible way?".
The last game I grabbed was the Sims 4 + dlc a very very long time ago. The last show i grabbed was probably an anime with fan subtitles.

Microsoft Says It Has Stopped Using China-Based Engineers to Support Defense Department Computer Systems

Oggi, 19 luglio, nel 1943, il primo bombardamento di Roma
Il primo bombardamento di Roma avvenne il 19 luglio 1943, durante la seconda guerra mondiale, ad opera di bombardieri statunitensi delle forze aeree alleate del Mediterraneo.
Il quartiere San Lorenzo fu duramente colpito dalle bombe.
Pio XII in visita alla Basilica di San Giovanni in Laterano il 13 agosto 1943, in occasione del secondo bombardamento di Roma
Dopo un triennio di ipotesi intorno all'inserimento della capitale italiana nel novero degli obiettivi aerei alleati, San Lorenzo fu il quartiere più colpito dal primo bombardamento degli Alleati mai effettuato su Roma, insieme al Tiburtino, al Prenestino, al Casilino, al Labicano, al Tuscolano e al Nomentano.
Le 4.000 bombe (circa 1.060 tonnellate) sganciate sulla città provocarono circa 3.000 morti e 11.000 feriti, di cui 1.500 morti e 4.000 feriti nel solo quartiere di San Lorenzo.
Al termine del bombardamento papa Pio XII si recò a visitare le zone colpite, benedicendo le vittime sul Piazzale del Verano.
Tra i soccorritori morti (morirono ventiquattro vigili del fuoco) anche il comandante dei carabinieri generale Azolino Hazon, accorso sul posto.

YouTube app is the worst
Normally I use NewPipe on android. It's an alternative YouTube app that can play videos in the background, doesn't have ads and allows me to download videos and music.
I had the YouTube app disabled with adb on this phone for all the time I've had it. For backup there's always the browser YouTube page.
I must have done something wrong and accidentally clicked install on the YouTube app again, so it activated and was back to normal on this phone.
Holy hell is that app a terrible advertising machine. Every time I click on a YouTube video now I get sent straight to it and it always plays ads and also has text ads all over the GUI so I can't even read the channel info etc while I wait for the ads to go away.
I don't know how people deal with that it would completely make me want to stop using YouTube.
Please do yourself a favor and install NewPipe or ReVanced (I think that's the name of basically the same app but with sponsorblock additionally). Both are on f-droid.org app store as well. Less important because you can manually use NewPipe but you could also disable the YT app with adb so it disappears from your phone.

Does Ventoy not work with Limine?
I guess it doesnt detect a nonventoy (used impression) usb with the iso written to it either? A bit confused I dont mind limine but It not being able to boot from a recovery usb is a bit of an issue
NVM it did end up working off impressions and not ventoy? I think it ended up detecting my ssd which also has ventoy installed in the boot manager too, the name wasnt there before, odd
Like limine itself has no option for it, but bios wasnt showing one for my ssd or usb either, now it is after restarting a few times

MacOS, NextOS, BeOS, OS/2 and Solaris were all pre installed on end user devices. All except MacOS also were or became available as end user installs if you didn't want to buy it pre installed.
They weren't popular in workplaces ( except MacOS) because they all sucked in important ways compared to Windows.
There were also many alternative Office suites. MS didn't even invent the idea- they copied Borland's $99 software cost in order to compete. But again the alternatives, even if they started better, eventually fell behind Microsoft. MS was extraordinarily customer focused in those days.
Windows Powertoy apps used to come with the emails of the person who wrote it in the readme.txt. I once emailed the Microsoft developer about a feature that I thought should work but didn't ( copying across network vs local copy). I got a working beta version 3 days after emailing the developer at Microsoft.

[Other] My Ultimate Self-hosting Setup
Hey y’all, I know getting a setup that feels “right” can be a process. We all have different goals, tech preferences, etc.
I wanted to a share my blog post walking through how I finally built a setup that I can just be happy with and use. It goes over my goals, requirements, tech choices, layout, and some specific problems I’ve resolved.
Where I’ve landed of course isn’t where everyone else will, but I hope it can serve as a good reference. I’ve really benefited from the content and software folks have freely shared, and hope I can continue that and help others.
Happy to answer questions!

It’s 2025. Israeli soldiers are telling the Israeli press that they’re being ordered to massacre starving civilians trying to obtain food from aid centers. Countless doctors have been telling the world that Israeli snipers are routinely, deliberately shooting children in the head and chest throughout the Gaza Strip. Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, and all the leading genocide experts and human rights authorities are saying that a genocide is being perpetrated in Gaza. The New York fucking Times just published an op-ed by a Zionist genocide scholar who’s finally admitting that it’s a genocide.There’s no way to deny what this is anymore. If you still support Israel in the year 2025, it’s not because you don’t believe Israel is committing horrific atrocities. It’s because you believe those horrific atrocities are good, and you want to see more of them.

imo i wouldnt say it’s about popularity and more about israel just being unable to really hide what they’re doing anymore. now its at the point where your average apolitical normie is seeing babies get their limbs blown off on their tiktok feed.
they had a lot more plausible deniability before their genocide was being live streamed.
as long as leftists have known about how fucked up israel is, your average truly “apolitical” person only knew the israel propaganda painted about it. now they see thats not true and thats a good thing
'Normies' have been seeing babies limbs getting blown off since 2023. They simply chose to ignore it because the public sentiment opposed it. The average person is a literal NPC who will repeat whatever the media tells them even if the video footage gets shoved in front of their eyes. I've tried it.
Even now, if you ask them if Israel has a right to exist they will answer yes. Knowing that Israel is comparable with Nazi Germany. They would tell you that Nazi Germany has a right to exist if that is what the media told them.
i think that’s pretty pessimistic towards your average person
with how alienated capitalism keeps us all from our peers, its easy to forget that you and i are also just average people.
we’re half way into 2025. gaza videos didnt really become widespread in people’s feed til about a year ago. thats when apolitical people would have started seeing this so much. the amount of turn around in just that small period of time is a good thing and being pessimistic about it or writing people off as lemmings because they were tricked by propaganda designed specifically to trick people specifically like them isn’t helping anyone. that’s just you projecting your resentment towards people, and im not saying that as an insult. its easy to resent them. dont let your resent control you tho.
its really not as simple as that lol. you’re letting your disdain towards people personally steer your point of view.
your average person had no idea this was happening until recently and once they saw it they said it was bad.
its extremely easy to fall into your line of thinking when you don’t interact with your community and view yourself as an individual against other individuals. thats the framing capitalism has given you but its a false framing.
i can tell you for a fact; i live in a small town in georgia. 3 years ago nobody here knew shit about israel or palestinine. went to two protests in the last two months, both FULL of support for palestine. people who have passively said positive things about israel to me who didnt know better have now said they had no idea what was happening over there. that they literally didnt even know what “gaza was” until recently
sadly thats where your average person is at.
they are not as “genocide is good”.
they’re at “i heard israel was good”. sadly thats more affective than it should be.
but to just write everybody off as wrong and having these horrible opinions is just anti leftwing tbh. you will never create any sort of left wing anything if this is how you view your fellow worker. not everybody is a leftist and in fact most people think we’re fucking crazy, for the same reason they used to think israel is good. “trusted sources” on tv told them so.
It is that simple. If you want a threat full of Nazi sympathizers from yesterday you are welcome to check this out lemmy.ml/post/33323757
Average person is going to have a worse opinion. These people know Israel is committing genocide and still support politicians being complicit in it.
