No. It was about someone getting out of healthcare because there they encountered the scum of the earth who would scam and fraud and exploit dying people with this wish to live.

3 or 4 zaps with uBlock Origin and you are good to go. The last layer is a fullscreen overlay that also needs to go.

Let's see how long it will last. Started yesterday during the evening.

Irony is lost on this guy ... :D Edited to add: I comment on the guy you commented on, not you. Just in case. I did not want to reply to them to not give offense.

I use https://brouter.de/brouter-web on my laptop. Someone told me that you can use brouter as the nav engine for Osmand and thus greatly improve speed and accuracy for navigation, but I have not yet tried this.

And I recently installed GMaps WV from Fdroid as a wrapper for Google Maps. It gives current traffic information but I don't really know if it is even close to gmaps.

I use Graphene but with Google play store app. Here in Europe my banking apps and 2fa apps (SecureGo) work flawlessly. NFC cards work with PassAndroid and FOSSwallet, both from Fdroid. I've had issues installing rather new games via the play store, but most often it takes a couple of tries or a waiting period to work in the end.

Long forgotten the times back in the days during the Great Editor Wars when Emacs was shunned as an acronym for "Eight Megabytes And Constantly Swapping". The youth of today ...

Every once in a while I think about using PayPal ... then I do some research and am utterly astonished why people would agree to such T&C. I would never use Google or Apple for payments. So I am desperately looking for a viable alternative. I used giropay until they cancelled service to the end of 2024 and I have to wait for Wero or an alternative. Yes, I do have serious concerns and I do absolutely not trust any American services. Especially not in these times. And I have less security concerns but rather privacy and data protection concerns in this matter. But I do have no illusions. European politicians see digital services as means to surveillance and control. Citizen's concerns, rights or best interests are certainly not on their agenda. This was clearly demonstrated recently when the EU commission refused to publish the names of the stakeholders and institutions working towards even more surveillance and permissions for governmental organizations.

I had to allow d3.js in NoScript for Fennec. Had the same intermittant redraw of the entire screen mentioned above.

I understand that the drum is fixed to the drone, not the operator. It spools off a couple of clicks of ultra thin fibreoptic cable that is cut of by the operator once the drone is detonated or lost. So the Ukrainian landscape by now is crossed with these cables adding to the environmental damage already happening by conventional means? Is there any long time data or study on future risks to the population? As far as I understand, broken FO can easily break the skin and enter the body and you certainly don't want it in your food chain.
