if only ublock could stop these Firefox ads

I swear every space game is described like this

I use brave and think it’s the best browser available, so I’m not arguing against it or anything, but technically it just supports use of the onion protocol, it does not provide the same full suite of protections that the tor browser does

As Brave says themselves:

For users who currently require leakproof privacy, we recommend using the Tor Browser, which provides much stronger and well-tested protection against websites or eavesdroppers using advanced techniques to uncover a true IP address.

yeah I’m using Voyager, but it turns out I had my feed set to top posts from the last 12 hours so none were showing up

I guess beehaw has dbzer0 defederated because those links don’t work for me

Lemmy users try not to correct you challenge (impossible)

There is no agreed way to pronounce it.

so you agree then that one person doesn’t get to decide what the pronunciation is, and there is no “official” way to say it (although, the majority of people use the hard g - source)

I can absolutely understand that point of view and even agree to an extent.

However, as a counterpoint: creative people being able to support themselves with their work means they can focus on their art instead of it just being a side hobby to their money making job

I missed it tbh

The inventor can call it whatever he wants, but it’s not going to change the pronunciation that has stuck with the general public. Language isn’t some decided upon thing that one person gets to control, it is a tool that naturally evolves and changes over time as it spreads from person to person

really “normie” is a normie term now, ever since Wednesday on Netflix became a pop culture phenomenon. I’ve heard people in real life use this term

Firefox? dead?! you mean the browser that peaked in user share in 2009 and has even declining ever since?? no! say it ain’t so! surely if I post a few more memes to lemmy it will turn things around

omg it’s network chuck!

good to hear. dodi just officially denied the accusations as well:

https://www.reddit.com/r/Piracy/comments/15ivtzk/dodi_verified_release_on_tg_has_crypto_miner/juy98il/

although he claims integritycheck.exe is a windows process, when clearly it is also the name of that miner I linked above

my guess is the dodi account on torrent galaxy, although verified, could be a fake and is putting in these viruses, or maybe the people commenting saying they got the virus from dodi actually got it from that hogwarts legacy crack which originally had this miner.

either way, I always hope the community will take these sorts of claims seriously and investigate to ensure everyone’s safety

it’s not a false positive people are finding. it’s a bitcoin miner called integritycheck.exe

https://www.reddit.com/r/Piracy/comments/15itrip/1337x_admins_allowing_bg3_torrent_with_bitcoin/juxiobs/

it seems like half the people I see who downloaded it say they got a tojan, and half didn’t. Could it possibly be triggering only for certain people? perhaps if their specs are good enough for bitcoin mining or not? or maybe just at random? just spitballing here

There are claims from comments on torrent galaxy that dodis release has the same bitcoin miner:

I hope someone can get to the bottom of this

agreed. imo YouTube has one of the best algorithms out of any social media site. maybe it’s just because I’ve had an account for over 10 years, but it always suggests great videos

yeah I agree. I’ve noticed a real decline in quality too. I think it’s because the entire site is just bots reposting old content and bots commenting old comments

FYI, there is a way to use ReVanced Manager to import your own API key into baconreader and other 3rd party apps:
