Holy macaroni. I started off with an actually okay device sourced from AliExpress, the Ipega 9083S while testing if it was something I liked, then I upgraded massively to the Abxylute S9 wired rather than Bluetooth. I recommend both depending on budget :) both support all platforms pretty much with Mode settings
Ipega (also side note, this thing had an invincible battery life):
Abxylute (build quality is great, has passthrough charging and buttons feel so nice:
I don’t think we can ever trust Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome to release a version that strips back lucrative “features”, but we don’t have to because many faithful community modifications are always available, from extensions and scripts that strip some bloat (Brave debloat tool) to browser programs and apps that castrate the upstream’s bloat from the beginning. Librewolf and Zen (both linked in another comment) are great options for Linux. They still allow you to use Mozilla Sync by default, but with configuration, even that can be decentralised.
After choosing one, you may already be aware of this option, but I recommend turning off browser autofill and replacing it with something like the Bitwarden app or extension and pairing it with your own Vaultwarden server, changing the default homepage if you don’t like it, and changing the default search engine if you don’t like it to another. You can also configure an engine that isn’t on the list, like a self-hosted (or public) SearXNG instance.
Frankie motherfucking Boyle. A Scottish legend built on subjectively offensive comedy. Plus he changed his tune massively! He’s not… regretful of his past style but he read the room and adapted well to new standards of humour. Keeping up with ever-changing tastes in jokes is a vital skill as a comic.
I’ll let you know when it updates on my end :) (but don’t worry too much, this is a very small, barely-an-issue)
He has always been an outspoken “pro-Israel Jew” which is a bad sign for everyone else;
Overall his actual societal crime was consciously knowing his views of supporting mass violence are problematic and refusing to change or even accept a different worldview. He’s just another successfully conditioned Patriot.
Yus I’ve been considering it, think OF has gotten a little too corporate… Never a bad idea to jump off a sinking ship
Hey, just wondering if the spoiler format you used works on your client? If not, like mine, one I use is:

It results in a dropdown-style instead of a censor bar.
Jesus fuckin’ Christ… FWIW Arch is my daily driver and all I had to do to use it was install programs I wanted (I’m familiar with the terminal so I prefer yay commands to a GUI, plus I like to consciously know what changes on my machine, and GUIs often come with recommendation advertising)
And things that I didn’t do on Windows but is unique to my use case was:
My experience with Ubuntu and Debian have been exactly the same
sigh unfortunately there are a lot of cases where one must choose between upholding principles and enjoying genuinely good creative art. Nathan W. Pyle, David Draiman, Joanne Rowling… I’m drawing the line after ‘personally enjoying it’ while ‘ensuring my money doesn’t support the creator / publisher directly’ and before ‘recommending others buy it’. I don’t agree with trying to stop people from enjoying it but I will encourage not allowing the problematic source to make money from it.
Ah, this website didn’t even try to popup for cookies or email subscribing, so nice!!! This is a “the bar is in hell” situation but yeah
For me, they only have one of my repos, and I deleted all my repos months ago, so whether they actually have the code or just the title idk
Good news: If anyone wants the one they got, I host it myself here instead. Fuck M$, AI thieves etc.
I mean they can probably steal it from my site too but I’ve taken precautions, and the second biggest reason to migrate off corpo accounts entirely – my site is a much smaller hacker target than Github.
I hope you do as well _ may everything go perfectly for you!
Can’t decide between “I killed them. Not just the men, but the women, and the chiloren” or “Chilo Ren” so here’s both
I once rescued a fallen (unable to fly yet) young starling from kitties and got them back in their nest, they were like 7g and often didn’t feel like I was actually holding anything! We called them Houdini
I don’t have any images due to a loss of data, so instead my partner to the rescue! Houdini –
here’s a kiwi :3
I agree! I lost sight of kindness multiple times, and when I was shown some or talked to someone empathetic, it was enough to make me cry! We all need more love because it’s too damn easy to hurt-
Nice that’s similar to my setup! As for a website hub yours looks neat, mine is plain as hell unless you’re a family member, thanks to Authelia – but making public info is on my todo list – I tried custom-building a website many years back and adapted that. (If anyone discovers security flaws please lmk, but I’m preeetty sure I did good)
Gonna share mine :3
I conspire that it was being updated to become weaker. Reasons:
And as the months went on reconnecting stopped working, power cycling stopped working and it stopped giving me a keyboard, instead prompting to “enter on your remote device” so my last remaining technique was to install the Google Home app, set everything up and use my phone keyboard to enter the WiFi creds.
I conspired that as it was fine until recently and it went downhill so rapidly, that it must have been forced obsolescence and they’ll probably release a replacement device. Surprise – one month after I replaced it with Kodi, Google released the “Google TV Streamer 4K”.
Once I can upgrade my 2017 flagship to a 2027 midrange I’ll be transferring the i7-7700K and the other half of the 2x16 RAM, and I’m in dire need of more storage so a 30TB Ironwolf is in my sights (but fuck, it’s 2x its pre AI-pocalypse price (aka Sep 2025).
It’s like a reverse prank – instead of “Whale oil beef hooked” or “Mike Hunt” we were pranked into not swearing
Wish I could’ve used this method to regain OnlyFans access – their verifier took multiple photos of my head for a 3D scan, and the site geolocks its users like Steam, so VPNs wouldn’t work.
Lol
