Good, it serves them right for the way they treat their customers. I hope every one of their games gets leaked early.

Why would anyone even want to use uBlock Origin Lite on Firefox? It's a stripped down version designed to work with the limitations of manifest V3 in chrome.

I'm surprised more people aren't using uBlock Origin. It's an absolute necessity for browsing the web anymore.

I'm surprised they didn't put a time limit on the storage since they are not a file hosting platform.

They are probably failing to get enough users, so they will attempt to squeeze as much money from their existing users as they can before they go under.

OK, now give them a fine that will actually hurt.

I haven't seen an anti adblocker popup on youtube for a couple months now, I though they gave up. It looks like the uBlock developers and block list maintainers are just doing an excellent job staying ahead of whatever youtube is doing.

I haven't used Opera since they switched from their own engine to chrome. They are now owned by a Chinese company, so it probably has at least as much tracking built into it as Google Chrome now.

Smart devices are only useful if they are open source and everything can be self hosted. Everything else becomes a brick when the manufacturer drops support for it.

Piracy is a service issue. If the streaming providers are going to punish me for using my preferred browser and operating system by limiting the quality, I will keep my money and get the video elsewhere.

There is also the issue of never knowing when the show will just disappear from the streaming service while you are in the middle of watching it because the licensing changed.

$1400 for a non upgradable SSD and RAM, not to mention there are no USB, HDMI or audio jacks. What a ripoff.

There has always been the option of installing software from source. The package manager won't update anything installed from source.

You don't have to use Flatpak, Snap or AppImage if you don't want to. If you use the package manager to install everything, it will update everything.
