Juvenile Justice was really great, but it’s hard to say why without getting into spoiler territory. Let’s just put it down to overall character development.

Just trendy. Alice in Borderland (Japanese) was a million times better with a similar story but somehow less hype.

Not currently. It’s a much requested feature, but the devs aren’t working on it yet, and no idea whether it’s going to be prioritized in the future.

Some apps are implementing it though, and there are browser plugins (tampermonkey scripts) achieving it as well: https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/469297-block-lemmy-instances (using that myself to block lemmynsfw.com)

I can reach it just fine. Maybe you need to flush your cache / DNS?

Generally speaking though, unless they have provided alternative means of contact and you saved them prior to the outage, there’s nothing you can do. Same if they decide to shut down - the instance and your account would be lost, and that’s that.

Edit: you can look up the owner of the domain on sites like https://who.is, but more often than not they use anonymizer services to not reveal their residential address. The given email address there might however serve as a forwarder to their actual one.

Just use the 1.1.1.1 app, or on your computer (or router) change the DNS to 1.1.1.1

Indonesia is soft blocking via DNS only, very easy to bypass.

Using a dedicated browser should be good enough. Since you might need some proprietary google stuff, I’d suggest chromium portable, that way once the class is over, you can simply delete the whole folder and call it a day.

ReadEra.

The free app is so bloody good and adfree already, I bought it just to support the developer after using it for 8 years or so.

Tried several others before and nothing comes even close.

Android, no idea if any other version exists.

On mobile I’d suggest Fennec instead of stock Firefox since you can use add-ons without limitation, and don’t need workarounds such as the Firefox nightly.

It’s basically stock with enabled add-ons, and following the official release cycle with 2-3 days delay. Maintained by the original developers of the F-Droid store, so also a highly trustworthy source IMHO.

Sync for Lemmy.

It’s in alpha and already better than all of the other apps (and yes, I’ve tried every single one available for Android).

No, they are garbage. I block every single one I come across. Else Lemmy is nothing but an echo chamber.

Are Firefox nightlys available for iOS?

You can install regular browser addons there, including ghostery, uBlock origins, and consent-o-matic.

For Android the same is also possible with kiwi browser and Fennec (without any nightlies) but those I know for a fact aren’t available on iOS.

Yep, for that reason I’m blocking bots individually. Ideally they’d give repost bots a separate identifier to block them specifically, but that requires the bot-dev to denominate them explicitly. Doubt many would do that.

I take it off for showering and the holes wear out from opening and closing it daily. I know they are waterproof, but don’t want to be wearing anything in the shower.

Got a MiBand as well. Had the first one, then the 3, and now I believe the 5 or 6.

Only replaced them because new wristbands were hard to come by after 2 years respectively, the battery was still going strong.

Now I’ve bought 10 straps right from the start and am only on number 4, another 2 years in. Let’s see if I can beat the battery this time.

Express has been shit since forever.

I’m assuming you’re in China? Astrill is using a proprietary vpn protocol and hardly ever has downtimes (use the stealth mode or install it on the router directly).

Germany for one doesn’t allow them. Privacy rights of the filmed supersed rights of the filmer.

The exception are action cams that perpetually overwrite content and only store it when an impact is detected.

I’m looking for US based to avoid them. Why on earth would I want to be on an instance that’s exposed to their government requests?

I’m using teampasswordmanager.com, it’s not open source but free for up to 2 users. Had them for over 10 years now.

But not instances or servers, that’s a much needed feature to de-porn my feed.

Definitely. Just waiting for Sync for Lemmy, can’t be long.
