Yeah, if something like Obtanium needs to run on my desktop instead of my phone and I have to plug it in every once in a while, that’s not the end of the world.

They’re already developing the apps for the 1% of us not just using proprietary apps from the play store. I don’t think this just kills open source app development.

It’s not completely meaningless because if it’s truly the only option I’m going to be using it until I eventually replace my current phone with one with an unlocked bootloader.

They don’t even have to be visible to the user and bitwarden will fill them in as soon as the page loads.

I guess you didn’t read most of the comment.

Right, “maliciously sneak”, as in they’ve either gained access to make changes to the site ditectly, or they’ve found a way to inject their scripts to steal creds.

Someone manages to maliciously sneak username and password fields onto a site that store what is entered as soon as it’s typed. They don’t even have to be visible to the user and bitwarden will fill them in as soon as the page loads.

This is unhinged levels of virtue signalling. Just downvote or say you think the joke is distasteful.

I’m not sure why you added a question mark at the end of your statement.

I was questioning whether or not you would see that as a benefit. Clearly you don’t.

Are you also against libraries letting people borrow books since those are also lost sales for the authors, or are you just a luddite?

Because books are used to train both commercial and open source language models?

Even being too lazy to open the weather app, there are so many better and free ways of receiving a message on your phone. This is profoundly stupid.

Though they seem secure behind a paywall, swiping content creators’ explicit photos and videos from subscription-based platforms such as OnlyFans, Patreon, and Fansly is relatively easy. People can download third-party apps for the task, and if those don’t work, a few basic coding tutorials can teach them how to surpass anti-theft technology. These images and videos then proliferate across the internet, on niche forums, Reddit threads, Discord servers, and Telegram groups with tens of thousands of participants. Today, a growing legal consensus considers this activity to be sexual abuse.

I think you deliberately skipped this part.

Damn, I can’t believe I accidentally sexually abused Kate Winslet by pirating Titanic.

If Netscape had a large paid install base and still failed because a free browser became ubiquitous, what makes you think doing that now when the free browsers are already ubiquitous would work? Especially when it also has to compete with what is essentially already what you’re describing, Librewolf (or just Firefox + Arkenfox).

That’s any recompilation, the game has to be decompiled manually first.

If it does the basic things that I want it to do well without being surrounded by the bloat of useless profit-driven features, and it’s FOSS, then it isn’t inferior to me.

The only meaningful update (to me) Plex has had in the past few years has been forcing everyone to switch from using TVDB to their inferior metadata agent.

Because it’s continuing the trend of focusing on live free channel streaming, finding things to watch on other streaming services, social media-esque interactions with other users, and other shit I don’t care about.

I just want something that will stream my media from my NAS to whatever I’m trying to watch it on, and do it well.

If this turns out as bad as it seems then I’ll probably finally be leaving my lifetime Plex pass behind for jellyfin once it rolls out to the Android TV app.

Just turn the updates off. Might want to remove the seatbelts from your car too, so annoying having to put them on and take them off every time you need to drive somewhere.

I’ve been using it as my primary browser on Android for years so I don’t really have much to compare it to, but I haven’t had any issues with extension compatibility. It includes changes from Tor browser and Arkenfox so it’s more privacy-focused than on performance.

I’ll just throw out Mull from DivestOS’s third-party f-droid repo as an up to date alternative. The newest versions are incompatible with the main repo but here is their explanation:

Updated Mull to 131.0.0, has 14+1+25 security fixes from the previous 129.0.2 release. In order to resolve the compilation issue introduced in 130, Mull is now compiled using Mozilla’s prebuilt clang toolchain. This however is incompatible with the F-Droid.org inclusion criteria, so these updates (for now at least) will only be available via the DivestOS.org F-Droid repository. Please note, while this adds a prebuilt dependency, the result does still remain FOSS.
