Whilst developers can ban specific ads, they can’t really vet them beforehand. I think you can opt out of political ads (or maybe could at one point), but technically the ad you see is just for another app.

As an alternative solution to the ones already posed by others, you can use “Google Opinion Rewards” to get enough play store credit to buy the app. Every so often it’ll just ask if you googled “Ninja Coffee Bar” (literally), and give you 10-25 cents for answering, and typically a good bit more for any follow-up questions (“How helpful were the results”, etc).

They also have a script patcher that makes it so you can use any font. A really useful feature if you replace fonts in programs or games, but the program doesn’t fall back to a safe font if a character isn’t supported.

OpenGL is a bit like Vulkan, but discontinued since… 2014, with a single update since then. It was actually stopped because Vulkan seemed better, and both API’s were maintained by the same organisation.

In general it’s more likely to work on older devices, but would be less performant than Vulkan.

DirectX is a Windows thing, so you’ll just have those calls translated to Vulkan under the hood (DXVK). You’ll probably get better performance from just setting it to Vulkan directly.

Edit: As some others say, for BG3 specifically, DXVK does a really good job. My personal experience is that “the best” option is very patch dependent. At launch Vulkan was best, then after a few patches did DXVK ran better, but personally I’m back to straight Vulkan, for no other reason than wanting to be a +1 in the statistics.

She doesn’t say which, but I’m happy for her in any case. She said in the past, that if she was to join a corpo, she’d join Phase-Connect, not VShojo. But she did also meet up with Matara at Offkai and talked things over with her, who knows. The counterpoint is of course that Phase-Connect has open auditions around now, and she’s more than big enough to keep her current persona, something they only allow for quite established people.

The Cloudflare human verification thing checks browser parameters that some extensions block or fake. Likely caused by “Canvas Blocker” if you use that. The fix is to add the specific Cloudflare subdomain this widget uses to the whitelist.

You’re making me wish Ballistix still made ram for the consumer market. Their sticks could often run much higher numbers than the “safe” xmp profile put on them.

I’m happy she’s back. Could clearly tell from her PL twitter that she was feeling the waters after the whole Selen/Dokibird thing.

Semi-related, but I found it a bit weird TVS publicly stated her PL account was actually her, along with Kiara and Fuwamoco. They tend to shy away from confirming past/private life accounts.

Whilst Gimp is technically powerful, you can really tell it’s made by programmers. I cannot stand the UI and shortcut defaults, but maybe I’m damaged from having used Photoshop a couple times.

Is it’s C, you could use Cosmopolitan

It’s based off Tachoyami(or whatever the one that was recently near nuked was called), and can be found googling a little. It’s annoying, but they got sued, and this was their way of protecting themselves.

Very happy for her to be out of Niji, though I’m sad that the rumour turned out to be true, even given it was the most likely thing.

No matter if she stays independent or joins up somewhere else, I wish her luck. Hopefully she’ll visit a certain cockroach-girl and have that cheer her up.

Sadly the developer doesn’t control what ads are shown, that’s entirely up to Google Ad Services and what it thinks you’re susceptible to.

Whilst it’s not what you’re looking for specifically, I found it very helpful to scroll an amount of posts down, then read upwards, as a means of curbing my urge to doom scroll.

I’ve heard that Linux’s task scheduler is just much better than windows’, so it kinda makes sense that all would beat Windows.

Not directly piracy, but maybe you can find a version or similar one either on fearlessrevolution or MPGH. Without more info these are just guesses though.

In addition to the other comment, for places and things where you cannot delete yourself, or where you cannot avoid tracking even if you do, you can use stuff like , which sends out random queries to hide your actual interactions. Got my interest profile on Google completely generic after a few months.

I feel it makes sense for a few communities where the main activity isn’t reading or commenting, but rather only looking at images. That said, a bot won’t see how well different kinds of content they post do, so they can (and do sometimes) keep posting low quality/effort, spam, marketing disguised as articles, etc.
