Oh no, my fake internet currency! What ever will I do?

Yes; I read that, too.

… Futurama has always been about pop culture references, this can be seen literally from the first season.

Thanks for the information; prior to the amount of junk mail today, was this or something similar the case for the pony express or OG mail service?

[-] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

Absolutely. Unrelated to mail but related to data, Microsoft 365 comes with “Microsoft Defender for Individuals”; it monitors the dark web and HIBP for leaks… you can many different things from your personal information to your cards and insurance… sounds interesting at first until you see that Microsoft has partnered with Experian if i recall correctly, so you’re giving information away to a data broker/credit broker.

Thanks for this, it appears that they have a lifetime option and through Honey, it can be brought down to a $41 on time payment.

All countries, as in this post isn't just focusing on one country.

Title.

This applies to all countries, but please state where you are from to avoid confusion.


With the amount of junk mail people get weekly, I was curious if there are ways you can block, remove or filter the actual mail from ever getting to your mailbox.

As an ad blocker/tracker blocker, AdGuard works really well.

They also have a “browsing security filter” which may be of concern to some people. This filter, similar to smart screen and Google Safe Browsing, will check to make sure websites aren't in a list.

However, if you have it on, they have a section you can opt in (I think it is opt in) to send extra data to help with the security filter.

That telemetry may seem like too much for some people, but I think it's the only thing in AdGuard products that collects data, and even then, it's not making filter better and helping its development, not for selling data.

AdGuard was founded in 2009; are you mixing them and AdMuncher up? (1999)

(wikipedia page only seems to be in russian for some reason; edge, chrome and safari should translate by default, Firefox, I think you have to install "Firefox Translations")

Photos of family; family records.

And a OneNote notebook I have (backuped to OneDrive by default, but also gets backuped to Google Drive daily) in which I try to organize a family tree, with resources, old papers and records, etc.

uBlacklist: block SEO, clickbait garbage from Google search

Shutup.css: blocks comments on all websites; I enable it on websites (such as lemmy) in which the website is dedicated to discussion. This prevents me from seeing stupid MSN like comments.

AdBlock: Blocking ads. They are slow, they are annoying, they follow you and I hate them.

Privacy.com cards: Lets me lock a card and certain amount to a website I may or may not trust, and prevents them from charging more than I state. Has been VERY useful for Amazon Eero in which they keep auto subscribing me to eero Plus and “don't know what happened on their end”.


This is more so related to Xbox, but:

Filtering all messages from people who aren't my friends into a separate inbox that doesn't notify me. Blocking party invites from people who aren't my Xbox friends (prevents assholes in Overwatch from DDoS).
