You’re an absolute legend. Thank you. I checked Reddit, but with all the ads, I quickly got overwhelmed. But this looks a fantastic starting point. Truly, thank you so so much.

I hear you on that. I feel like the only thing I’m missing from my set-up is an IPTV subscription for live sport. With Usenet everyone is so forthcoming with information, so it’s easy to quickly get to grips with everything, but with IPTV, I’m struggling to find a thread to pick at to allow me to unravel some knowledge. Especially with all the services being shut down at the moment.

Always remember to source your hardware and subscriptions separately.

Glad you’re sorted.

But your definition of privacy is different to theirs. You see all Telemetry as bad. They say that the world isn’t so binary and that there’s good telemetry and bad telemetry. Also they have data to prove that opt in doesn’t work. They shouldn’t kneecap an entire project just to keep a handful of privacy zealots happy. Of which I fall into that category given my DNS level blocks.

As for Nightly users, they’re still users.

There’s a means built-in to shower usage. If my network blocks that and they think no one is using the feature. That’s on me. As a Nightly user, I should support the product with bug reports and also things like letting them know which features I use and how often.

The menu item to save a bookmark is there without scrolling. The option to view bookmarks is below the fold.

I could see why that could be inconvenient for some, though I suspect that like me, most people don’t use bookmarks much any more.

If you’re seeing loads of takedowns, maybe it’s time to look for a new provider, because from what I’m seeing everything is still healthy AF.

Adding a bookmark is indeed one extra click, while viewing a bookmark is still two clicks

I understand your paranoia, but it’s impossible to answer a question if you don’t ask one.

Linux distros can’t be pirated. As for TV shows and films, Usenet > Torrent > WWW

Or so I’ve heard.

No one is telling anyone to hoard episodes. You can easily fit a whole series on your phone let alone a single episode. Download, watch and then delete.

I’ve switched back to the old menu until they fix the bug. I use open in normal tab tens of times a day.

Honestly, I’m kinda at fault here. Both my NextDNS and Pi-Hole block Telemetry, so they’re not getting usage numbers to support prioritising the feature.

I like the new menu, I don’t mind the organisation of things, but the lack of priority to opening things as a normal tab is frustrating. As far as the developers are concerned, it was only a Nightly feature and not very many people used it, so no need to ensure it’s available presently. That said, I’m not sure that’s a criticism of the new menu, which I reiterate, overall is massively positive and makes Firefox feel a lot more modern and a better fit for modern Android.

I understand that streaming is easier, but people really need to get back into downloading.

NASCompares did a good breakdown with a bunch of deals.

Welcome to the club

Hardly an alternative. JD is a http auto downloader, QB is a torrent downloader.

I would argue that what makes it good. Mastodon is only as good as you make it but you have to take personal responsibility. That’s something that people should get accustomed to taking again.

Where to start with this? Didn’t Google just kill adblockers in Chrome?

Doing a git clean is a dick move.
