Same reaction here… It shows that for mobile browser Mozilla is more serious about it. Maybe being installed by default and their hegemony on desktop make Google more complacent…

Swiping on icons or folders to open another app!

Can’t you disable it in settings? On android there is an option to toggle off sponsored shortcuts.
I agree they shouldn’t force it on but at least with minimal effort and if it’s really annoying it’s easy to disable.

Streaming services should be required to provide free access where they are allowed to put ads at the beginning and only once or twice depending length and not cutting a scene. And maybe free access could be limited to a number of episodes.

Anyway my point is be real, some people won’t pay because they can’t or because you don’t want to subscribe to 10 streaming sites. Especially when sometimes there is only one anime, tv shows you are interested in. So real solutions should be found if companies really wants to fight piracy…

For Tv shows piracy has never been so low as when Netflix had reasonable price and was the only one. It offered a real alternative and people where willing to pay for it.
I also believe crunchyroll do a lot of good as it has a quasi monopoly but it’s starting to erode with Netflix and Disney starting to get animes. 😕

Agree. If it was a perfect world then governments would fund and contribute to open source project to make sure there are good free solution to keep your data private (at least from being collected and sold to some random companies) and make sure they won’t go down.
Sadly I don’t think it’s really happening…

On windows for a screenshot tool a good one is ShareX. and for a clipboard manager Ditto

+1 that’s what I do at home with my desktop and what is IMHO the best solution.
Yet on vacation I use an old android box with Android Tv (SlimTv) and I have to say it’s nice to have a dedicated interface allowing use of a remote.

IMHO I am not an expert but Mullvad seems the best (from what I read from others) and I would stick with it. I am using it and happy with it. I also appreciate that their monthly price do not change depending on how many months you subscribe and that there is no bullshit discount for the first x months.
You could also look at Proton VPN if you need port forwarding.

About SurfShark don’t have much opinion !

I don’t understand the down votes
=> I always read up and down votes as a tool to flag valuable posts. It feels like down vote on this one is about agreement with the news?

I guess she hadn’t a phone on her or she was off grid? It would have been nice if article mentioned it. Without that info I have doubts about whether the story is true or not… 🤔

On my work computer I don’t have admin rights but still I could install Firefox with no problems. It installed itself for local user only.

About that you can check this new extension : https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/chrome-mask/

Yet I feel it’s better to avoid using it and report web compatibility problems. Always masking user agent could led to believe only supporting chrome is sufficient.

Using MyExpenses which is perfect to let you track your bank accounts.

It’s the only app I found which let you reconcile operations with bank statement.

What I do is using synching to sync my files on my PC when I am at home. You could also manually back it up on a cloud drive.

Anyway I think it’s best practice to store somewhere recovery codes.

Aegis is often recommended as an open source solution : https://github.com/beemdevelopment/Aegis

Hate those posts only containing link… Feeling like I am looking at a news aggregator with click bait…

For those feeling like me here a simple cut and paste :

Sam is a very small Text-To-Speech (TTS) program written in Javascript, that runs on most popular platforms. It is an adaption to Javascript of the speech software SAM (Software Automatic Mouth) for the Commodore C64 published in the year 1982 by Don’t Ask Software (now SoftVoice, Inc.). It includes a Text-To-Phoneme converter called reciter and a Phoneme-To-Speech routine for the final output.

FreeCommander is nice, it’s the one I use.

Would be nice if Lemmy was alerting poster that he shared a link already presents in other posts.

I don’t think it is. You need to go on their GitHub to see that there is some development and to get last releases from march : https://github.com/greenshot/greenshot/releases

Yet I prefer ShareX

I believe most people would have seen that it has been post twice and reacted only with the first one they saw or the one with most reactions. Beside I guess the post with most comments could have been more promoted when using active / hot sort on home.
