UBO and custom DNS works for me in FF. Sometimes I still get blocked so off to an Invidious instance I go (and they're ad-free too) to watch whatever content I was trying to view.

ETA lots of people use DNS to proxy to Albania which yt doesn't run ads for that region, they report it works fine but I haven't tried it personally

    Hi there! I'm investigating places to land when lemm.ee shuts down and lemmy.zip has a great defed policy and looks like a good place. One QQ is, will I be able to connect to the instance with a VPN? The pinned thread on this post seems to suggest it's fine (try uploading the JSON with a VPN) but I want to be sure, as I don't see any mention of this in the privacy policy or other legal docs. I know some instances block them, and I understand it's to prevent abuse and ban evasion, however I use one all the time for enhanced privacy so it's fairly important to me.

    Thanks so much!

    Raiders,

    As you may have seen, we finally dropped the news many of you have been waiting for: ARC Raiders launches on October 30, 2025, on PC through Steam and the Epic Games Store, on consoles through PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, and via cloud streaming through NVIDIA GeForce Now.

    The announcement was made on stage at the Summer Game Fest show at the YouTube Theatre in Los Angeles just now, with a brand new trailer that you can check out here: https://youtu.be/sfufcWOh2LE

    From the very beginning, this project has been a labor of love, shaped not only by our team at Embark Studios, but by you, our community. Your feedback, energy, and support—particularly in the last two tech tests—have played a vital role in shaping the experience we’re about to launch. So on behalf of all of us, thank you!

    Speaking of tech tests, a big shoutout to all of you who showed up and played last month!

    Tech Test 2 was the best rehearsal we could get ahead of release this fall. You gave us thoughtful, sharp feedback, and the test helped us hone in on plenty of things we’re addressing in the last stretch of development: there are bugs to squash, as well as general polish and performance improvements to be done. We're fine-tuning game balance and the player economy, and will work on an even better onboarding experience for players who come in new to this genre.

    At release, the game will also be expanded, with more locations to explore, more ARC enemies to fight, a larger selection of weapons and gear to find and craft, more adventures to embark on, and more for players to strive towards and discover.

    As we get closer to October, expect more details on what ARC Raiders will bring on launch day, and how we plan to grow, evolve, and support ARC Raiders after release. So mark your calendars, gear up, and rally your crew. Pre-orders will open later this summer. In the meantime, wishlist and follow us to stay updated.

    See you topside in October!

    /

    Aleksander Grøndal Executive Producer, ARC Raiders

    I've watched over 20 hrs of gameplay on YT and the very few bugs I've seen people post have been pretty minor and likely have already been patched. The state of this game puts most AAA releases to shame. Can't wait.

    Hiya newb here. I've never played an extraction shooter before but all the videos of gameplay I've watched of ARC I am absolutely stoked to play this game. I don't normally drop into pvp/e games because I'm pretty casual and co-op campaign oriented but this looks fairly well balanced for solo players to use stealth to gather resources and level up without too much carnage if that's their play style. I hope the final game holds this to be true.

    Let's be clear that this is a way to criminalize homelessness, nothing more. We all know they're not gonna send the white collar or trades addicts to these places. In the Depression era vagrant laws and asylums served the same purpose.

    I worked phone support a few years ago and did that at the end of a call with a customer. I was really tired and the person was kinda draining but nice, and for some reason my dog's face slipped into my mind as we were ending the call, who I say k-love-you-thanks-bye to all the time.

    Like most any paid VPN service they need to track bandwidth usage somewhat. They can't see what you're accessing but they can see how much of whatever it is. Windscribe also offers a free 10gb/mo plan so they do track it for that purpose as well, much like any VPN with a free tier would.

    This 5th Estate piece just hit youtube (and they disabled their comments) going into how Intuit (and others) have been leaving tax fraud on the table for years, to the tune of tens of millions in hacked CRA accounts, identity theft, and false return claims from Intuit and H&R Block systems.

    What they don't bother to report which is easily found online is that Bobby Morrison was chief sales officer at Intuit, now CRO at Shopify and proud of it.

    Do your research, Bobby was on board at Intuit for a lot of shady shit beyond this. Just sayin. Probably worth a mention that one of the top sales guys for Intuit is now running the financials at one of Canada's top billion dollar ecommerce companies.

    Have been thinking about this for a couple years. I have old phones kicking around. Battery shot, hardware dated, but the camera(s) and mic and antennas still work. Would be cool if there were a way to set them up (powered) to stream audio/video or even take stills at intervals (or motion-activated) and then sync the content to the rest of the devices on my network.

    I don't know how complex the programming for something like this would be. But I suspect it's trivial for those who do know.
