- Comment on Blocking Gmail ads is possible! Here's how in 2025. 2 weeks ago:
Perhaps ironically, the article itself is an ad.
To save anyone a click, it tells you to uncheck “promotions” and “social” in gmail settings. (I can tell you from personal experience that Google’s willingness to respect this setting is dodgy.)
It also suggests using a non-chromium browser with an adblocker.
This isn’t in the article, but obviously using an email client like Thunderbird might help.
It finishes by suggesting you to try Tuta™ Mail for free! Which, after reading this needlessly wordy article only to be hit with an ad, I’ve just decided I will never ever do.

- Comment on Despite Microsoft's push, Windows 11 and Edge see decreases in user share 1 year ago:
Using 11 at work has led me to stay with 10 at home. I even disabled TPM in my bios so it is not “Windows 11 ready” or whatever.
Then, I’ll be moving to Linux, which I’ve already done on 2/4 devices at home.
Aaaand I’m the first Linuxbro in this thread which is new for me, so I feel like I should get some kind of certificate of achievement.
