What is going on with websites requiring you login before being able to view anything?

Just discovered Quora won't let me view posts unless I log in.

Instagram - can't view posts unless you log in.

Shoppee (e-commerce site in Thailand) - can't even browse without signing in.

Any idea what could be causing this?

It's very random, sometimes it doesn't happen for weeks, sometimes it happens every few days.

I only use this machine for web browsing.

32 gb of Ram
Linux Mint 22 Cinnamon

I reckon it's a ram issue but could it be the graphics card?

Looking for #linux advice.

I currently use 2 computers, an old desktop running Linux Mint and a not so old MacBook pro which because of the T2 security chip is still running MacOS.

My issue is that I want ALL files downloaded and/or created on the laptop to be available on the desktop, so that I don't end up with different files on the laptop.

I've tried using cloud apps and that works to a point, at least with notes (I use Google Keep).

Random thought of the day.

I've reworked my diet to lose bodyfat and so far the results are great.

But it got me thinking how annoying human physiology is.

You can gain fat by eating lots of food and you can lose fat by eating less food.

But you can't gain muscle by just eating more protein.

I'd go for a gene edit if it allowed muscle growth without needing to go in the gym.

I'm my interested in low body fat, but slightly bigger muscles would be nice.

@peter Hi Peter, It's been almost a year since your post about the Zenbook Duo (great article btw).

Would you still recommend it for someone wanting to run Linux Mint?

My first Mastodon post!
