If I remember right, ABP is the one that was taking payments from companies to let through their advertisements. Ublock origin is free and open source and doesn't have any of that.

I was clearing out my old account and there was something like 800 coins there, and I've never paid reddit a cent. So yeah, I'd say free coins.

Try this other fork. You shouldn't need to edit any code, just drag the button into your bookmarks toolbar. You might need to enable a setting to show the toolbar.

It's complicated and a lot of nuance can easily be lost when talking about it. When looking at voting behaviour and political beliefs various factors are at play:

  • Geographic location
  • Age
  • Gender
  • Education level
  • Tendency to vote

And even with all of that, in different online spaces certain demographics can have outsized influence in various ways, so it can appear that one type of person is more common than it actually is (and this applies in all directions, not just left-wing spaces).

Good summary of events. I'll add that you have a mistake in the link to lemmy's PR requests, which points to Kbin PR instead.

Most likely will, since manufacturers won't want to design multiple models with and without replaceable batteries for the most part.

A reasonable article I feel. I am looking forward to trying mobile Linux on a secondary phone, but it's likely a long way off from being ready as a daily driver for most people.

I think it's just beehaw defederating from world and sh.itjust.works , and it's only one way (so both of those can see beehaw content, just not the other way around). But maybe that's since changed, I'm not sure.

Stock android ROM(s) sound like a good fit since you seem to like a minimal experience.

GrapheneOS would probably suit you too and has improved privacy and security, but it's Pixel only so I've never got to try it myself.

It's not trivial but not as hard as I thought, at least last time I tried it. The absurd amount of disk space the build environment requires, along with the time to actually clone it it, is probably the most annoying part.

You could use it as a source for contributing links rather than interacting with existing threads. Which is more important in the early days, particularly for niche communities.

There's also audiobookshelf for a self-hosted approach to audiodooks and podcasts, although the podcast functionality does still need some work.
