This is another similar tool:

https://socialfixer.com/

It loads 10 posts at a time and filters out all of the junk. Then you have to manually load more posts.

It's really eye-opening when you load 10 posts and it filters out 9 of them.

But besides that, the thing that's really pushing me away from FB is the pure hate, agression and stupidity on display in the comments section of local groups. It hurts to see the levels people descend to when they can comment without any repercussions.


how someone with a banhammer hanging overhead behaves is nowhere near as valuable an indicator, compared to behaviour when there are no perceived consequences.

[the thing that's really pushing me away from FB is the pure hate, agression and stupidity on display in the comments section of local groups] -- you are seeing what lurks inside, and what degree of personal refraint exists.


actually, on NextDoor, the population is so limited that it's fairly productive to Mute/Block the hateful or dumb people ("excuse me, but please pick up after your dog.")

FB, of course, has billions of users so that doesn't work.


NextDoor where I live is overrun by advertisements for gutters and 1 day shower replacements.

Maybe I live in a boring area?


nextdoor wouldn't even onboard me, i sent a message with details to their team and they said they'd fix it for me... that was like 3 or 4 years ago. I had to define a new neighborhood, so maybe that's why?


Nobody stops anybody from making a antisocial network graph and use a bot to block out the sun..


omfg thank you so much. truly. it works with facebook container tabs too!


You forgot

reg add "HKCU\Software\Classes\CLSID\{86ca1aa0-34aa-4e8b-a509-50c905bae2a2}\InprocServer32" /f /ve

To enable the classic right-click menu :)


The new menu would actually be quite ok if you could configure what’s on the main menu and what’s on “More”. The old menu has a ton of stuff I never use so in theory it would be nice to push that to a secondary menu. But the UX geniuses have decided it’s better to have random stuff I never use in the shorter first menu and the stuff I really need is on the second. It would be so easy to configure this. What are these geniuses thinking? (I guess they don’t think much….)


And all that without even mentioning that they put cut/copy/paste on top in icon form (afaik).


Putting the things I use the most closest to my mouse. It's great. I spent two seconds figuring out the icons the first time I encountered it and now it's faster for me.

You're definitely sharper than me. I spend 2 seconds every time I encountered it.


It seems that Croatian operators didn't get the memo about the discount.

Here the phones that you can get from your carrier and pay off on a monthly basis often end up costing more than in retail.


I set up 3 new Mac laptops in the last month.

All of them had an option to skip iCloud login during setup.

Of course, you have to log in to iCloud to use the app store to get OS updates. Since I'm not an Apple user, I don't know if there are offline options available.


It is luckily possible to sign in for the App Store and OS updates without enabling things like backups or syncing.


I screwed up and connected to wifi before using the oobe\bypassnro command.

I had to block the PC from accessing the Internet in my router settings to get the "I don't have an internet connection" button back.


Anybody remember Odigo?


Had to look up the meme, as I couldn't remember it. I think gentoo or slackware made me remeber -xvzf


I remember choosing irrsi over bitchx because the latter was "too complicated" for me at the time.


Related question: what method do you use to keep the duvet in place inside the cover?

I have some animal themed safety pins that my parents used on my duvet since I was a child. I put four of them in a square shape around the middle of the cover when the duvet is inside.


It just stays.


My duvet covers have ties you can use against any duvet.

My parents used to use safety pins.


If needed, I grab a cover border, and align the duvet border within it, make sure corners are aligned too, and then again : shake it. It comes back to place.


Buttons? A zip? I've never seen a cover that doesn't have a way of keeping it closed.


Keeping it closed is not the problem.

The problem is that the duvet bunches up inside the cover if you move around a lot during sleep.


Check out the official Asus support forums before you buy.

I got a ZenFone8 when it came out and was very satisfied with it at the time. Then, a month later, posts started popping up with people reporting that their phones just randomly rebooting and bricking. I think there were a few hundred cases reported. To this day, there is no official response from Asus. I used to carry a backup phone with me every time I was away from home for longer than a day because I was afraid that my phone could die at any moment.

Also, every update seemed to introduce a new bug that only got fixed in a month or so with the next update. So we had broken face unlock for a month, broken Google Pay, broken notifications, among other things.

I haven't been following reports for the ZF9 or ZF10, but I think they had similar problems.

To top it all off, the official unlocker / root tool from ASUS has been disabled for over a year by now, and nobody knows when it will work again.

All in all, ASUS phones (at least the ZenFone line) do have great hardware, but official support is abysmal.
