That sounds strampunk af, I’d get it even if I didn’t need one if it did that!

Okay that makes way more sense then yeah. I don’t know of a single chromium browser that supports extensions on mobile so unsurprising

I’m trying. I’m trying so hard. But it keeps pissing me off because I have to dig through settings to undo changes they made to browser features that are standard across both Firefox and Chrome. It’s free and I’m not tryig to sound entitled but almost every single change they made to Chromium aside from the privacy stuff has me going WHYYYYYY?

The way they handle open in new tab, tlds like.internal, and ctrl+click to complete urls were the worst offenders off the top of my head.

Plus their ad blocker doesn’t even come close to uBlock Lite.

I just want v8 in a hardened vanilla Firefox wrapper that doesn’t go to the extremes that LibreWolf goes) :(

Not sure how Vivaldi uses extensions since you cannot add new ones from the chrome store…

Extensions in Vivaldi come from the Chrome Web Store, not sure what you mean by this

I didn’t know about the whole Nord sending data to Google thing wtf. That immediately puts them on my shit list.

Yeah cash in snail mail is probably not the smartest haha. I personally use a card on Mullvad for the convenience alone - piracy isn’t illegal here and their no logs policy is good enough for my use case but it being an option tells me they take that stuff seriously at the very least which is why I mentioned it.

Please reply here if you find the other one that lets you send cash. I’m loving Mullvad so far but it’s always good to have options.

This. For most people, they either hated the 3.0 update (assuming 2010), or hated the enshittification after 3.2.2 (assuming 2012).

Mullvad seems to be the go-to if you want privacy (although no one thing is 100% private if you wanna go down that rabbit hole). No personal info requried, not even email. They claim no logs and they have gotten raided once and cops found nothing. I believe you can even mail them cash anonymously for a sub. Flat fee of €5/mo ($5.19/mo US) - you can pay for a single month or buy in bulk, costs the same either way.

Windscribe is another good option. More of your run of the mill VPN that seems to be well reviewed. Their free tier gives you 10GB/mo so you can see if it’s right for you (although torrents may not work - I don’t remember for sure). You can easily snag a whole year for $30 US as it goes on discount a lot.

Personally used both of these and haven’t had much to complain about. Both have great apps for almost every platform, tons of locations to choose from, torrenting works, and Netflix works (for the most part). Speeds also seem solid but I do have crap tier internet. Reviews seem to agree though.

Of course do your own research, don’t just take my word for it. People also seem to like NordVPN but I can’t really speak to that.

Edit: Nord sends data to Google apparently so that’s a big no.

This is the hardest I’ve seen a someone try to not mention Rust. I’m actually impressed.

Sad but true. At least it’s gonna be funny watching the same companies that went overboard and removed the harmless instances just to virtue signal do a complete 180 and allow genuinely hateful content on their platforms.

Also add Community to that list. Can’t watch the DnD episode on Netflix anymore because there’s a gag about Chang’s unfortunate dark elf cosplay looking like black face.

It’s actually kinda wholesome that Harvard Law lets you minor in clowning 🤡

Um, acksually, what you’re referring to as Linux is in fact…

Yup, that’s John Trak, the lead in Star Trak

I wonder how many of the best emulator devs 5 years from now will have started off out of spite because of Nintendo being cunts about emulation and Sony taking down the Bloodborne 60fps mod

Thank you! Every time a story like this comes up, people seem to wanna pretend managing your own hardware is all sunshine and rainbows. Especially if you want global scale or as little down-time as possible, cloud provider’s your best bet, albeit one where you have less control than you would with your own servers.

Opinion: You should be building on top of open source platforms and tools (Docker, Kubernetes if you need it…granted I’m not an expert in this area) to mitigate some of the vendor-lockin, and take a multi-cloud approach. If you’re mainly hosting on GCP for example, host smaller deployments on AWS, Azure, Cloudflare, or something else as a contingency…eventuality you can also add or just move to your own servers relatively painlessly. Also AGGRESSIVELY backup up your database in multiple places.

Do you yank to places outside the regular target when you create macros?

Telescope?

Get out

Obligatory boo and/or hiss

I’ve also been meaning to give emacs a try but haven’t found the time or energy to figure out how to exit vim

I’ve been meaning to check helix out for a while now but haven’t found the time :(
