There is an old Android app named "Feedr". Many people still use it, even though it's not listed on the Play Store anymore. Not to mention "Feeder".

Nobody is going to be able to find this by name when you have such a generic one.

WHERE DO I BUY ONE?

This is not a joke. The prime thing that keeps me driving my old vehicle is my avoidance of modern corporate totalitarianism in tracked vehicles, spying, and other crap. I'm not buying something just to rent it too.

I would pay above-market.

I'm researching this right now. Maybe I've finally found my new car.

I like this reply. It's nuanced. This guy didn't post that picture to be helpful. He did it to troll, and trolling is cruelty, and defending cruelty is immoral.

The world can't be that advanced when you have people shoving their religious imaginary friends in every sentence and then feigning victimhood for having it called out.

NOW: "We can violate your copyright because we want to."

YOU: "Where's mine, and how do I make more people click on these ads?"

The posts are AI slop but not incorrect. I didn't have to look anything up to know there was some kind of bribery or insider corruption going on here.

> CEO of MZLA (the Mozilla entity that develops Thunderbird).

Was it really too hard to say "I am the" or add "here" at the end? Instead we get this lazy "words hard less wrds good" manner of speaking.

Remember when Jobs of Apple died?

Now think about what is going to happen when Musk dies. Compare and contrast.

TwoNineFive — Thu, 02 Apr 2026 03:28:22 +0000

I got scammed on Swappa about six months ago. I was buying a used Google Pixel tablet in "mint" condition. It was really used and terribly scratched up.

Swappa staff were unhelpful and only after I opened a dispute with Paypal did I get my money back.

I don't blame Swappa for a random dodgy seller, but this was an "Enterprise" seller, whom is still selling on Swappa today!

See this reddit review, which isn't mine, but is almost exactly what I dealt with.

https://reddit.com/r/Scams/comments/1d8emzf/suckered_on_swap...

Reading OP's post, I can't help but wonder if they bought a Verizon Pixel. This is a very very well-known gotcha. Verizon locks their bootloaders and you can't bootloader-unlock Verizon Pixels, even after they are carrier-unlocked.

It's regrettable that you would spread misinformation, and easily explained/debunked information at that. This is a reasonably well-known issue and even with the extremely bad and limited information you provided (no model numbers or other info), I already know exactly what your problem is.

TwoNineFive — Sun, 08 Feb 2026 09:03:28 +0000

COVID saved Trump. His policies, such as the section 174 tax change, were tanking the economy in 2019, and we would have likely seen a recession in 2020-2021 instead of 2022.

His solution to COVID was to tell the public to inject themselves with bleach. Or just go get infected and let natural selection figure it out.

It was no more a joke than the racist cartoon he posted the other day.

You need consequences.

Binisoft WFC for Windows is a free outbound firewall. It was acquired by MalwareBytes awhile back, but they have not interfered with development so far.

https://www.binisoft.org/wfc.php

It has some areas where improvement is needed, but the fundamentals work and the user interface design is decent.

I am surprised it's not more popular for Windows users. All of the alternatives I've tried have critical issues which made me dismiss them as unserious.

> IPSec is terrible, huge, and messy standard that company that made it took 20 years to stop getting CVE every year

This is fact, not FUD.

Microsoft has had multiple RCE vulns in their ipsec stack in the last two years.

The big vendors like Cisco had ipsec vulns for decades.

These days the issues are pretty well known and documented, but it really is a bad standard.

Teens gets Thinkpads as hand-me-downs from parents and as used devices in the aftermarket. Lenovo has also spent some considerable efforts in this advertising space. That's why I just call them Teenpads now.
