Ask.fm Closure Notice: the platform to be deactivated December 1, 2024 ASKfm to shut down December 1, 2024

Dear ASK.FM community,

After an exciting journey lasting for over 10 years, we have to announce its conclusion. The Q&A platform for anonymous conversations will wind up operations, discontinuing services starting December 1, 2024.

This difficult decision follows a significant decline in our user base. Regrettably, our “Ask-and-Answer” platform no longer meets the needs of today`s social media users.

The platform will continue its operations till December 1st to ensure that everything is settled following the letter of the applicable regulations.

If you wish to save any data or content from your accounts, please, make sure to do so before December 1st.

Throughout the company’s history, the team has put significant emphasis on the safety and security of users’ personal information. In view of this, all personal data will be deleted as soon as reasonably practicable. However, in some cases, limited types of data may take up to 90 days to be fully removed. Starting from October 24, 2024, new registrations will no longer be available. We will also start removing support of features step-by-step.

When we established the Company, we believed in the idea of open communication and connecting with others through questions, answers, and sincere conversation. We have navigated challenging times to ensure the platform remained 100% safe and secure for every user.

Thanks to everyone who was curious to ask and brave enough to provide sincere answers.

It was a joyful ride for us, and we hope it was for you as well.

Goodbye!

There's Tablacus. Opus is supposed to be good too, but I haven't tried it.

So banning ublock origin lite from the addon store was malice, after all?

That means they will drop MV2 as soon as Chrome ends the business/legacy support, since they were the alternative.

It's $269.99 and has 9 programmable buttons. It's designed to control rent-seeking apps like Photoshop.

The Streamdeck XL costs $200 and has 32 programmable buttons. I'm using it to control my dorm room through Home-Assistant, and my robot camera through Bitfocus Companion.

Yes, but for different reasons. They are much less popular, and have way lower market share as a result.

Lots of lower-end chinese projectors are also running Android (linux), with multi-core CPUs..

Don't Google it. Just be happy you missed Liveleak and r/watchpeopledie.

SDRs like the Hackrf Portapack are, as well.

You know when people say "I've only talked about this once, never searched for it, and then I got ads a few days later"?

What if it hasn't been phones that were listening (despite Siri/Google Assistant/Alexa mis-identifying something as a wake-word being the most sensible explanation), but TVs?

Joke's on them. Their telemetry server is in another ~~castle~~ VLAN.

Google part numbers (if they aren't scratched off/lasered off/ epoxied). Once you've found the ethernet controller, you can short out the pins, or yeet it off the board.

It's called wardriving, a practise Samsung TVs are infamous for.
