Trying to work out why this is a good idea. Please could you explain why?

Pi-hole (or my preference Adguard Home) is great for devices connected to your home network. For your phone, go with Blokada (free) or Adguard (iOS, Android, paid - see Stacksocial for occasional license deals) - that'll cover you at home and out of home.

If lossless and sound quality matter enough, use a portable dac with wired headphones. Otherwise, accept the compromises of using Bluetooth.

Thank you @Doctor_Rex@lemmy.ml for asking these questions, and for everyone giving answers. I was trying to plan out my proxmox installation, and you've all pointed me in the right direction.

How about using the free browser-based tier of MS Office 365 https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/microsoft-365/free-office-online-for-the-web - but with an alt email address for this purpose only?

I used to Google for help, but the thing about Google is you have to know the correct technical terms, but when learning Linux, there are many unknown unknowns. And then you have to trawl through am the answers.

Now, any time I enter a command and get errors, or if I don't understand something in the logs, I'll copy paste it into perplexity.ai - if necessary, it'll ask for clarification. But mostly, it'll suggest various causes and solutions, with explanation.

This is more like anti-vaxxers scamming themselves and others, and the so-called scammers are just providing the required service.

Yes please! Voyager has this feature too - makes it at-a-glance easy to decide if it's a source you'd read, and if its a risky click at work or on the train.

Pinned comment on original article says:

Didn't see it mentioned in the article, but per the linked FAQ it says the alpha AI applies to:

In countries with the preferred language set to English.

Excluding Canada, the UK (United Kingdom), and countries within the EEA (European Economic Area).

Their title says "flat display", yet further down the article, they write:

... the display is almost flat. The glass panel has a very subtle curve on the side edges (possibly from 2.5D curved glass)...

So, not flat then.

Fuck curved edges on Samsung phones, they're an arse for screen protector edges wanting to lift up when that wind blows the wrong way.

Yep, all up to date. UBO gives me the option to proceed (= show) the dodgy ads. Maybe something to do with my settings that it doesn't block those outright. It's a useful option for when I'm using cashback sites that I can temporarily grant tracking links.

Not quite a screen shot, but the text:

Because of the following filter:

uBlock filters – Badware risks

The warnings pop up and hitting proceed shows scammy fake virus scans and such. To make it clear, it's not luckypatchers itself, but the dodgy full screen ads on load.
