Well, sounds like I have six weeks to spin up Jellyfin side-by-side with Plex to see if I can get away with not paying the $120 ransom…

Same, I call it my “shitposting tax”

I moved from Firefox on Android to Brave recently because it was too often breaking sites or taking much longer to load. Firefox just added a report broken sktes feature to the app though so maybe I’ll go back. Be the change I want to see in the world and whatnot.

As far as I can tell you can’t donate to Firefox specifically. I would if I could.

I bet most of the money goes to Mullvad because they run the actual VPN service. Mozilla just does the front end and user management.

I’d be okay with sites showing me unintrusive non targeted ads, but since it’s all or nothing I choose nothing.

Thank you, very cool! If/when Discord gets bad enough that I try to convince my friends to jump ship, I’ve been thinking about whether Matrix or Revolt or something else would be the next place to migrate to.

Anything on 4chan I assume isn’t real, but pretend it is. More fun that way.

I guess you would need a lot of proxies. And they probably need to be on Googles good side to keep their VPN extension in Chrome

I’m sure part of it is to stop paying Denuvo the $20,000+ a month fee to keep it active, but regardless I’m glad they’re doing the right thing.

I wonder if they’re using the (paid) Google and Brave APIs, and are running Leta as a loss leader, or if they have some way to get around it

Yeah, I don’t blame Nord themselves for the breach, but not notifying users was bad

They’ve done other things, but the reason I don’t use Nord is that they had a breach where an attacker had physical access to one of their servers, and they tried to sweep it under the rug rather than notify users.

Cory Doctorow is an actual legend

I’m loving my Framework, have Mint on there. Thinkpads are also well regarded I believe

Scott Manley… Now that’s a name I haven’t heard in a long time

I switched to Nobara Linux at the end of last year, and for the most part when I consider how often I’d have to fix Windows stuff, it’s not that much more work. Still not the same though, and I keep a Windows partition around for certain stuff even though I groan having to load into it

Appreciate everything you do!

I had to do a triple take to make sure this wasn’t The Onion

That’s a shame, that was the studio that worked on Guitar Hero Live. I kind of liked that game
