so, if you're familiar with pinterest, you'll know that it very annoyingly has like more than a dozen domains/sub-domains registered on a per-nation basis. of what i've found recently, there is:

- pinterest.com

- kr.pinterest.com

- pinterest.kr.co

- in.pinterest.com

- ca.pinterest.com

- id.pinterest.com

- mx.pinterest.com

- za.pinterest.com

and so on, and so on...

just blocking "pinterest.com" will not work. but appending a "-site:pinterest.com" and trying to fiddle with that to make sure it excludes all of the above subdomains is both tedious and annoying.

is there any way to manually edit a blocked site to add syntax like:

*.pinterest.com

pinterest.*

because this website is really pissing me off 🫠

currently using a refurbished S6 Lite/SM-P613 tablet mostly for video calls and other things that i got on sale a few years ago. i'm well aware it's a budget tablet, as it only has 128 GB of storage and 4 GB of RAM.

so far i currently have my RAM Plus set to 2 GB (max being 4 GB) since i don't want too much running at all times. i'm also regularly cleaning it with the built-in device care cleaner via a widget on my homescreen.

i'm still finding that it's obnoxiously slow though, even when i'm only running one tab in my browser and nothing else. i only have 55 GB used up out of the 128 GB storage avaliable.

what else can i mess with to make it run smoother? is it possible? thanks!

To be clear, I have been struggling to get a hold of them since right after we initiated our relationship. They are a very large firm country-wide firm, although I will not name who for obvious reasons. If I want to get a hold of anyone, I have to call and go through telephone representatives who direct me to supervisors who will yell at my "team" to answer their phone and/or email. I have never actually spoken to my actual attorney directly.

I also do not have the paperwork being requested of me by Social Security; they are asking me because they have been trying to call my attorney for over a month, to absolutely no avail. I alerted my firm that I no longer had the paperwork months ago after I moved, and requested (repeatedly) to have replacements sent to me. Zilch, nada, nothing.

My case is now held up as a result of this firm being completely uncooperative and impossible to contact. Social Security is being extremely cooperative on the other hand, but eventually a decision needs to be made about how to deal with the inability to get this form. I am strongly considering removing the firm from my case. However, that leaves me with a massive question:

Will they attempt to sue me for their portion of my settlement/the work they did do if I remove them from my case? Even if it won't hold water ultimately in court (I don't know), I don't have the money to be sued. I don't have the money to even pay rent now, and I have no guarantee my appeal will even go through this time.

But quite frankly, the fact that they have been completely uncooperative about things that would get them paid is making me nuts. Just... why. And my case is stalled because of them, to boot.

I don't know what to do.

to explain: i am disabled, and can no longer work. the way my PC is set up, it essentially is attached to my TV, which is a few feet from the end of my bed. naturally, if i attached a webcam of some sort to the top of that TV, i would be extremely far away and would not be very visible, making it moot in point to bother with.

i'm wondering if there's something i can do to upgrade beyond just taking my medical appointments through my phone camera (which overheats really bad due to age) such as some kind of bluetooth camera i can have in my bed. do you have any ideas of something i could accomplish like that?

i am naturally working within budget, aka "broke", so i can't go spending a whole lot of money on anything. it needs to work and that's about it. i have a nice headset that can be used for audio and mic instead, so i'm not really worried about quality of audio/mic; i just need to be able to be seen without wires being strung across my bed crazy style.

it would make things much, much easier for me, as not only is my phone no longer up to the task of zoom calls (or much of anything...) anymore, but i struggle to hold it up sometimes due to my disability worsening and making me sicker recently. and truthfully, i want to be able to conserve what energy i have for being able to sit up and hold things and whatnot for things i actually like doing, or else i'll be absolutely miserable... but if i can't accomplish that, it's understandable; a guy can dream though, you know?

anyway, please let me know if any of you have any ideas. thank you so much. 💖

honestly when i was reading, everything was really confusing to begin with, so i can't say much on where i left off; it's one of the reasons why i decided to drop for the time being and wait until there were more chapters to try to get my bearings better.

the only thing i can sort of remember from where i left off:

>!- tim is dead(?)!<

>!- johnny was chasing after allen for some reason, as an ally or something, but allen refused to let him help!<

>!- there were some very confusing sequences (which is what i left off on) about nea being the earl and also being allen(?) or possessing allen(?) or something!<

>!- cross is back and Not Dead, apparently?!<

>!- kanda is also trying to find allen to help or... something?!<

>!- lavi has also been in the chair for literally ever but i heard he got out finally recently which is why i'm considering catching up finally? i know this is after i left off, obviously. don't spoil me much on it, please! ...although i'd probably be lost anyway!<

when i originally read the manga, i had watched the anime first, then read the manga after the anime left off. then the mangaka (💔) had to go on her hiatus for her health, and has done slow updates ever since.

so i guess my question is two things:

1. what would be the best point to start rereading without having to reread the entire manga (since i remember everything covered by the anime much better, at least in comparison) to try to get my bearings?

2. what would be a good resource for a summary so i can be refreshed on the story since it's been so long?

i should also note that i have memory issues and that is a major contributor. so rereading the full manga won't help. a summmary is better, if possible.

thank you all so much!

wanted to know if it's possible to import a long list of words to mute in the mute feature (NOT a mute list for muting accounts) so you don't have to type them all all at once. is there any way to accomplish this?

reason: i'm trying to remove a specific thing (which i'd rather not say) that's unfortunately very triggering for me from my timeline, and the list of all the unique terms i can mute is... a lot. but i want to be really thorough.

it will however take me a very long time even if just copying and pasting to do this by hand because i am only on mobile. a friend compiled the list for me.

so... any ideas?

(again, NOT 'mute lists' for moderation/muting accounts!)

looking for a lightweight, no-bloat no-AI browser (or at least the ability to trim all of those down out of the box since they are not tech literate for things like this) to a suggest to a non-redditor friend that can work well on a "work computer that barely functions only for work from 2014-2015"

❗️they don't have the finances to replace this computer either, please don't suggest it. let's work with what we've got!❗️

trying to find the best, most secure alternative to google chrome🌀 for them.

needs be able to accept proton pass🔑 as an extension in some capacity, as well as ublock origin🚫.

brave🌀 is a no-go, firefox🦎 is likely too bloated even hardened. i am unfamiliar with opera🌀, but didn't like it when i briefly tried it.

i was thinking zen🦎, but i'm worried they may want chrome's rendering. i personally love vivaldi🌀, but i think it's too heavy-duty due to the rendering and features for their old device. and they haven't told me much about their work, so this is all i can share with you here.

any ideas beyond this?

(🌀=chromium, 🦎=gecko, 🚫=adblock/similar, 🔑=login manager)

i'm thinking about changing my name, and i'm struggling to decide on what.

right now, i kind of like noé, but i'm not sure if it's a favorite. cassius is nice, but i'm unlikely to choose it due to negative associations with another name in my life that everyone around me will recognize.

some of my favorite names are:

• abel

• atticus

• cain (i know lmao)

• cassius

• dorian

• dion

• ezekiel

• jasper

• jude

• rafaël

vetoed names are oliver/olivier, victor, eli/elias/elliot, emil, damien, cameron, as all have strong associations with other people in my life.

i'm looking for something not too "common" (i.e davis, william) but not too "unusual" (hyacinth, despite its mythological origins, has been claimed for the girls, for example) either.

i'm asking because i'm REALLY struggling. help.

thank you. :(

vivaldi, what organization. this is my personal computer on the administrative profile that shouldn't be attached to any kind of "organization" whatsoever. I AM THE "ORGANIZATION. LET ME CHANGE MY SETTINGS.

windows 11, current version: 8.0.4033.28 (64-bit)

(as in your support summons, and/or what you prefer others' support summons to be)

assuming that your first summon is magna/primal and your second summon is elemental boost (or vice versa), what's your preference for the third slot?

if it's magna/primal and elemental, then do you want that third slot to be the other grid boost type (primal if it was magna)? taboo instead? no elemental option at all?

super curious tbh
