Looks like you may be right. Most requests came from api.twitter.com (and variations of that, such as api-33-0-0.twitter.com). The only different one was from global.albtls.t.co, and it was already blocked thanks to Peter Lowe's Blocklist.

Rumor is that Windows 12 ~~the last last version of Windows~~ will be releasing next year.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but hacks like the WannaCry ransomware attack of 2017 don't even require any user input. They simply require that you haven't updated your computer. The reason so many organizations (including schools and hospitals) got hit with that attack despite Microsoft already having released a patch for it months earlier was because they didn't update their computers.

I got a headache when I first started wearing glasses. Then it went away. There wasn't anything wrong with the prescription. It was just my eyes adjusting to suddenly being able to see in HD for the first time in years.

It's the same in the US. They test your vision when you go to get your license, they print the restriction on your license, and you legally cannot drive without them.

He refuses to wear glasses while driving "because all the lights hurt my eyes".

If your eyes aren't used to glasses, guess what? You get a headache. If you wear them long enough, your body gets used to them, and you stop getting headaches.

I'd probably be like this, but wearing glasses is better than not being able to see six inches in front of you. My nearsightedness is bad.

You should be able to modify the desktop shortcut to run the command every time you click it.

Alternatively, you can create a batch file that runs the command every time you click on it and put it on your desktop. You could probably even assign the Firefox icon to it and pin it to your task bar.

To be fair, nearly everything is/ has been/ can be a political topic. Two of the more ridiculous ones (IMO) I can think of are video games and D&D.

Any idea how to block ads in the Twitter Android app? Or, rather, which sites to block? I'm using AdGuard to block ads on all apps, but it doesn't seem to affect the Twitter app. Either the Twitter app runs ads differently or the ads aren't part of any of the blocklists.

Because there's no viable replacement.

Before you or someone else mentions Mastodon (and probably compare it to the Reddit migration to Lemmy; I've been through this conversation before): Both Twitter and Mastodon are built on the concept of following people. If those people don't migrate to another platform, then the people following them won't migrate, either.

But Reddit and Lemmy are built on the concept of following ideas. It doesn't matter if one person who, for example, enjoys anime, only stays on Reddit. Others who who enjoy anime may move to Lemmy and become part of one or more of the anime communities on Lemmy instead.

Basically, the comparison isn't 1-to-1.

But then I'd have that terrible X logo on my phone instead of the much-less-terrible bird logo.

I have yet to update to any version of the app that uses that logo.
