As title says. I haven't used my Google account for more than 3 months. Prior to abandoning my Google account, I unlinked my phone number, deleted my recovery email, and logged out every device. I also never had 2FA TOTP setup.

Today I tried logging in and it won't let me. See video. Apparently, providing my login credentials doesn't prove that the account belongs to me. And no, I won't give them my phone number again to login.

I hate Google

I did so when I was uninstalling it. Great piece of software

I initially only installed "Comodo Firewall" but for some reason they also installed a "Comodo Dragon Browser", which I did not consent to. I always choose the "advanced" installation to uncheck bloatware, but in this case there was none and when you try to uninstall the browser, they force you to participate in their survey otherwise you won't be able to uninstall the software..

I've seen a quick video about it on YouTube from a reputable Windows security YouTuber. Can't remember which exactly, probably "ThioJoe" or "The PC Security Channel". I wrote the softwares name down a long time ago and decided to give it a try today.

This right here. 100%.

I do care because I don't want to fall victim to their dark patterns and be coerced into providing them with free market research

I have no clue what a RAID is to be honest. I was using a VM with 6 GB RAM to do some work in another operating system and passed through my physical hard drive (Host to Guest) to write the data on when suddenly my VM got stuck.

My filesystem was NTFS

Perhaps there should be government controlled licenses for some technologies

I just lost 44 GB of data that I downloaded in the past two hours. My PC started to get laggy and it got stuck so I just shut it down believing that all will be well since the data has already been written to disk..

Funny you say that because I'm submitting the ticket because I can't migrate my account.. Speak of irony

[-] sourcepie@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I did initially try this on two different browsers, Firefox & Librewolf (with uBlock) and it didn't work. After reading your comment, I downloaded ungoogled Chromium, didn't install any addons or change any settings and it worked. Thank you!

Been trying to submit a ticket to Mojang for weeks now, still doesn't work. Anyone else having the same issue?

It's Odysee.com showcasing a banner of popular Linux YouTuber "Mental Outlaw" (https://www.youtube.com/@MentalOutlaw/videos) on their landing page

Happy to see him get the recognition he deserves

This appreciation post is dedicated to Rockstar Games for pulling Grand Theft Auto San Andreas ($10) off of Steam only to then slap a ENB mod on it and sell it for $60 calling it "Definitive Edition"

I hate this (lemmy.world)

Especially the Google one
