Most browsers I run into, you can search from the address bar. You can also disable or point to a different search engine, if you want. So you could skip going to the site. That aside…most browsers would accept google.com and not need the full https://www
I say most anecdotally as I haven’t tested them all.
using Newpipe’s own fdroid repo
Better yet, use Obtainium to “get Android app updates directly from the source. Obtainium allows you to install and update apps directly from their releases pages, and receive notifications when new releases are made available.”
It’s super uncomfortable.
I absolutely get that, but I just didn’t think it was illegal or worth calling the cops for, which the person I replied to said should happen. But maybe I’m being naive.
man stars at you in public? Or, is starring at you? That sounds like some kind of situation in which you could probably call the cops.
Staring is illegal?
Making a fuss then electing the same…isnt progress, its surrender
And guess what you complaining here and then your inaction does, and symbolizes? Pretty much this.
The trick is to pick the lesser of the two evils.
I’m on mobile so can’t see the sidebar…
Then I recommend upgrading your mobile experience to one that does. I personally prefer Voyager, “an Apollo-like open source web client for Lemmy. It’s a mobile-first app, but works great on desktop devices, too.”

You’re one out of 254 usable hosts.
Twice the latency for DNS results? Care to give concrete examples? DNS is usually very fast. Twice as long as very fast is still pretty quick, in my opinion.
Its a 5-year old product. With 5 year old specs.
It’s a Pi. Cutting edge (or even modern or high end) specs have never been it’s selling point or goal.
uses something called tellynet (aka telnet but I was playing dumb)
I wonder if he got the joke, or was a scriptkiddie who just relies on existing tools without understanding them, and thought you meant television or similar.
“There are no seeding rules…if you fall below a 0.5 ratio, your downloads will be disabled.”
That there sounds like a seeding rule.
I have like 5 years using Niagara and paying for it…
If you would’ve paid for the lifetime, you only pay once and it’s cheaper than annual once you hit 3+ years.
Yearly subscription: $9.99/9.99€/₹120 a year Lifetime purchase: $29.99/29.99€/₹360 (once)
basically means “unable to serve”. This includes dead, injured, captured, deserted etc.
Ah, I didn’t know that. I now envision it sometimes going like:
“Poor Steve, a casualty of war.”
“What do you mean, he snuck back home and is watching TV in his mom’s basement!”
They posted it on the Internet, so it has to be.
But OP is, and still asking…
Amazon’s logic is you paid a subsidized/cheaper price that is offset by included ads. You can buy it without ads (more expensive, obviously) from the start.
Number one above, stopping the connection before it happens, is really the best benefit, in my opinion. And if they boast a high false positive, you need better lists. You keep saying “they don’t block this or block that.” They are (nothing is) a one stop shop. Simply because they don’t block what you’re cherry picking does not make them bad. Use multiple layers. You say “don’t use a blocklist, use MS Defender instead.” Why not use both the blocklist, MS Defender, and even more stuff? Multiple layers. Defense in depth.
I know that’s the point, which is why I said it. The person I replied to asked if they were missing something, so I was attempting to educate them on said point. Then they edited their post to add the /s after the fact.
