Hi there, I’m SpaceXplorer, or if you find that difficult to pronounce, just call me Ashu.

I’m 18 years old, with some deep interest in technology, computing, and photography. I do like to draw and play the guitar, but you’ll rarely see me do it.

I’m still figuring out what I want to do.

    It still does it. The only thing is that the awareness of this feature was spread in a way to make it sound like it was just stealing your internet for nothing (which looking at it one way, it was) so most people just turned it off.

    When I left home at 19, things opened up for me a lot more than I expected. But I still regret the 8 years that I was just “hanging in there” because the alternative was just so much better. I see where you are coming from, but unless the parents are only somewhat bad parents that otherwise take care of you, this is bad advice.







  • That’s why I started setting Firefox as the default browser on my family’s phones. They were too annoyed by ads and almost got scammed once. With Firefox and uBlock Origin it’s like magic for them. Plus they don’t visit any non-mainstream websites so they’ll never encounter such a screen.

    A small step to a better web-browsing experience for all of us.
