I don't know... I get that rule 1 and 16 are just edgy humor, but I can't imagine what she's satirising in this message. What other crackers ask people to only call them 'Mother'?

Do not ask about cracks or technical questions

So then what are you supposed to do on this Telegram channel?

What does this script do? Looks like the results of an ls command to me

From what I understand, isn't this site's Z-Library content taken from the torrent dumps when the site originally got taken off the clearweb? In that case, won't it be a bit out-of-date?

See the post body - I use Yattee right now, but have to switch instances around every time I open the app

So, these statistics apparently come from StatCounter, a web analytics company. I know that this is probably the best way of collecting usage metrics for the entire Internet, but I think this is less efficient for counting Linux users - after all, I would say that the proportion of Linux users who also use content blockers is pretty high. Even if it weren't the case, most distributions ship with Firefox pre-installed, which automatically blocks trackers out-of-the-box.

Also, wouldn't this also count an embedded device with a WebView as a "Linux user"? For example, smart TVs have a web browser, and typically identify themselves with a "Generic Linux" user-agent.

That definitely seems promising. Will try this out

I use this myself for when I want to be signed-in. However, it's not a very private alternative, since YouTube will still track you on the app even when signed out and with history disabled

 

I'm currently using Yattee, but it relies on Invidious to access YouTube, so I always have to switch instances around to get videos to load. It's also pretty unstable.

Awesome! And it also looks like search functionality has just been restored, so it's business as usual for now. I hope that the other instances get patched soon, though - is there any way of knowing what version an instance is running?

They switched their singlelogin TLD a while ago. The new one is .re

uBO filters really are a powerful tool. I just discovered the other day that there's even a filter than can inject CSS and JS scripts in a webpage!

You're right that Fairphone's supply chain is not fully sustainable. In fact, I remember reading an interview with the founder where he admitted that poor sustainability and labour practices are so entrenched in the industry that it was impossible to actually make a "fair" Fairphone. (Incidentally, this is why the company uses the word "fair*[er]*" to describe the phones.)

Yeah, I would definitely agree that a used phone is a much more environmentally-friendly choice than a brand-new one. The amount of customers who are going to ditch their 1 or 2 year old phone for this "sustainable" phone will unfortunately not be zero...
