The same way porn and alcohol is banned for those under 18? Mkay mate, I doubt anything will come out of this.

I tried it but it didn't work. The APP does override the website.

Feature request: Allow 'Hide NSFW' slider to be permanently locked (self.voyagerapp)

Pretty much the title. Some of us want to reduce the amount of time we spend browsing NSFW communities, but as it stands it's too easy to just turn the slider off.

I'm requesting an improvement in the options where you can make the slider permanently locked upon user request (similar to what Infinity for Reddit app has done).

Thanks.

So, are thinkpads actually good laptops, or are they just cheap and companies buy them in bulk?

To be fair, there's an argument to be made that "I'll just pay Google one last time in order to get my privacy back."

Why not both, with Brave? I know their are kinda hated for making changes without warning the user, but it seems to be the closest thing to a fairly private and secure browser... Plus they have a whole team behind it, not just some guy in his basement (nothing against guys in their basements btw, it's just harder to be on top of security issues when you're one).

I donated some spindles of burned media and programs to Salvation Army expecting they'd throw 'em out. They're selling 'em for $3. in c/[email protected]

I try to be more positive on this platform but with these scumbags, I cannot.

Thank you for making this effort, by the way. The community on Lemmy versus the other platform we all know about is night and day because of people like you.

And I absolutely agree. I went to read a bit about the Salvation Army and I had no idea about their stance. I'm glad I came across this post. Truly appalling.

That's right. The thing that anti-government people seem to forget is that, left unchecked, corporations are much worse than oppressive governments. Democratic Nations need to be vigilant of both.

Edge will say it's "maintained by your organization", which seemed spooky, but that's just a side-effect from having some privacy.

Ooooooh, so that's why I started seeing that shit. I thought I had a virus, lmao. Cheers.

Yeah. I've been wanting to adopt Linux as a daily driver, but unfortunately there are programs that simply aren't made for anything other than Windows/Mac. I seriously do hope programmers start investing more in software for Linux so that I can make the switch permanently.

Might I introduce you to the Data Hoarder community? Those unsung heroes who keep humanity afloat and ask for nothing in return?
