For a specific how to, there's a bunch of firefox addons that do it, but the mozilla recommended one is this

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/user-agent-string-switcher/

It's super easy to use, just open it and it gives a bunch of options.

This is my current (fake) user agent;

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/118.0.0.0 Safari/537.36

With two or three clicks, this is my new (fake) user agent;

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; CrOS x86_64 14541.0.0) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/114.0.0.0 Safari/537.36

A few more clicks;

Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; Android 10; HLK-AL00) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/104.0.5112.102 Mobile Safari/537.36 EdgA/104.0.1293.70

And finally;

Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; MSIE 10.0; Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_7_3; Trident/6.0)

Now, that last one is making it look like I'm using internet explorer... Youtube videos will not load with that last one active. Claims my browser is too old and not supported.

I don't know why they all start with Mozilla/5.0 but the apparently a lot of websites will block your requests if you don't have it (or a valid browser strings like it?)

He's more likely to have to part it out in the bankruptcy hearing.

Forcing a company to take out a loan to buy itself should be illegal.

I'll admit I've not deleted my Twitter account.

Mostly because I've not logged in since 2013? I think I had a single tweet, and that was a reply to some event that I was personally involved in.

Compare that to Mastodon, and I actually have followed a few people and even got into a debate about different voting systems that drew in a third party who turned it into an argument.

So mostly a wash.

It's not that they didn't block UV, it's that they installed UV lights in the DJ booth because it would "look cool".

It was a purposeful choice, and no one stopped to think about why it was a bad idea. Which is totally on brand for people running a convention based around NFTs.

Every country does some level of industry subsidy. So it's kind of baked into capitalism now. And, technically, has been since the beginning.

Starlink satellites are in a much lower orbit. They're an issue, but fundamentally not the same.

As in, a starlink satellite that fails, also quickly falls out of orbit.

That might help. Sadly I don't have enough raw space worth of thumb drives. And I'd do a full install of Linux, no dual booting.

I've got a bunch of large games. And not as much space worth of thumb drives.

The other concerns, I have two programs that would be a pain to get running with wine.

I really need to bite the bullet and wipe windows off my new laptop. I've had an arch based distro downloaded and ready to go since mid August. Just don't want to have to download my steam library again. My shitty Internet is painful sometimes.

Technically, they lose about 20% of their generation capacity within a few hours of first exposing them to sunlight. It's one of those weird quirks that researchers have been trying to solve for decades.

Also, they tend to lose the rest of their generation capacity over decades, not millennia. The industry standard is for a panel to be able to produce 80% of installed capacity after 25 years.

2; Some buzzwords that you don't seem to understand the meaning of, with some conspiracy theory nonsense thrown in.

3; yup. US history is full of horrible shit, but we're trying to be better. Well most of us. China is not trying to be better.

The US once engaged in genocide, and China is using that past to justify several ongoing genocides.

The US has often failed to fully live up to its ideals of freedom and equality, and China uses that to justify not having any freedom or equality.

The US holds freedom of speech as sacrosanct, often to the point where harmful ideologies are given platforms, China uses secret trials to jail people for the study of their own heritage.

The point being, China fucking sucks for anyone who isn't a rich, ethnic Han, flawlessly loyal to the CCP.
