You can. With a browser plugin called "Short Stop".

Castillo de San Marcos - Built at Sea Level in 1672.

Castillo de San Marcos - Still at Sea Level in 2025.

How is this of any significance to humanity? Seems like a weird way to waste both time and money.

Now all my crappy code will crash much faster. ;)

I made my chat font Comic Sans because I think it's funny that the "Supreme Allied Linux Commander" for our organization (me) uses Comic Sans on Skype For Business. Keeps 'em on their toes.

But Brave Browser has no problem blocking them.

The point of advertising is to generate demand (want). The more you can influence people to want your product, the more of your product you're going to sell.

I bought $1000USD of Doge back when it took 12 of them to make a single penny just to have fun with on IRC. We set up a doge wallet bot and used tipping in Doge as a way to encourage productive/constructive comments and contributions to our little channel, as well as educating people about crypto. I ended up giving away at least half of the Doges to various channel dwellers just for the fun of it. (Using random soaks & tips of 100 doge here & there.)

Fast forward to now it's around .13c per doge and the coin I so liberally threw around like confetti actually has some value. It feels really good to have contributed in a positive way to crypto-currency awareness and to see those contributions actually have value.

I still have quite a bit of Doge left and it has oddly turned out to be one of the most entertaining & enjoyable successful investments I've made.

TO THE MOON!

Safari has been doing that for quite some time.

And I hate it.

Having said that, clicking in the address bar brings the whole address back. But I don't want it hidden in the first place.

1) Straw=man argument.

2) Repeat for the third time: YOU need an app. THEY don't. I get that this was awkwardly worded, but read the whole thing.

3) That's right, it doesn't go to Google. But Google was the whole point of what I wrote. So: another straw man. Further, courts have increasingly been ruling that even police need a warrant for that.

4) Apparently you are ignoring Google's history, because you wrote "I feel like I can trust this."

I know quite well how it works, as I have already established. Despite your efforts you haven't "corrected" me on a single point.

Nor have I been "shouting".

Not even in most of those.

Last I checked the stats, fully 80% of the U.S. has no real alternative to their ONE local cable company for broadband internet.

Even worse: the big cable companies, like Comcast and Spectrum, have those parts of the U.S. divided up into "non-compete zones", in which one company has pretty much exclusive domain over the whole area.

Which is illegal as hell. Anti-trust laws haven't been taken off the books. But far too often these days they have been ignored.

1) Not BS. It's on my own phone. Without my consent.

2) No, you do not need an app on top of this. I addressed that already. The app is to give YOU information. Not to collect it.

3) No, they don't already have my location data. At least, I haven't given them my consent to have it, it's not in their TOS that they can collect it without my consent, and I have all location settings turned off.

4) You can feel like you can trust anything you like. If you want to ignore Google's history in regard to things like this, feel free. Doesn't bother me a bit.

I already said that in my previous post: the app is for your use, not theirs. Who are you shouting at?

"Even better" but not by much.

And you neglect to mention that N100 are a lot more expensive.

The masks they are referring to here aren't even N95. They're just to prevent you from coughing/sneezing droplets directly on other people.

So... you can use the one I mentioned using reflected sunlight or even streetlight or yard lights.

That's completely passive too.

They don't need government. If you're on Android, you probably already have it.

Without your consent.

Go to Settings > Google Settings and see if it says "COVID-19 Exposure Notifications" at the top.

To turn it off, hit the 3-dot menu button, then "Usage & diagnostics" and turn it off.

Apparently the app you download is only used to give you information about it. They collect the data regardless.

If that's wrong, someone by all means correct me. But don't just tell me what Google says. They're not trustworthy.
