Herbie?

I wanted to thank you for creating and promoting an agnostic platform, like lemm.ee.

I'd started exploring Lemmy on beehaw, but was confused and frustrated why I couldn't do "simple things" like downvote (spammy) topics (especially, outside of beehaw channels) . Then beehaw started to do more and more defederations. Although, I respect the transparency the admins have in their communications, I'm not interested in their curated form of Lemmy. As an adult, I can make responsible decisions. Fortunately, the federated nature of Lemmy allows me to easy "pack-up my stuff" and go elsewhere.

Thank you for providing me with a place to go!

Ah, I see this is the predecessor to the Blue Shell in Mario Kart

Thanks for the write-up. I think Santa will be bringing me a Firestick Max for Xmas... and I've already got a real-Debrid subscription (which I highly recommend). I look forward in trying to plug them together.

I expect to have some website compatibility issues with Firefox/librewolf, as it does have a 3% share of the global browser market - so, website development energy is focused on the chrome/safari experience. However, 8+ years ago I felt I needed to use chrome at least every other day to view certain websites - it was frustrating.

I'm hoping (and willing to try it out) to see if this has improved.

Neato, I'll check it out. I'm also trying out mull for android (as I'd like to keep my desktop/cellphone bookmarks/browser-history in sync)

Thanks for the comprehensive write-up. It convinced me to migrate back to Firefox.

I was on Firefox (8 years ago), moved to Chrome (I liked the non-admin/transparent update feature and Websites didn't break like they did with ff), then moved to brave (basically chrome + more privacy), and now I'll go back the Firefox (I hope I won't encounter too many non-FF websites)

By the subject of the thread alone, I was thinking "Mortal Kombat 8 and Donkey Kong Racing".

Hmmm... it adds a new meaning to Scorpion saying *"Get over here! " *

Direct link to the remake (KeeperFX) .

Thank you for the post, but I couldn't get through the cookie management page to read the article.

Microsoft creates thousands of tons of ewaste for no reason...

Of course there's a reason, you said it yourself: TPM.

With TPM, Software will be able to cryptographically verify that the OS and Hardware are all unmodified. This'll be an end to piracy and end to unauthorized modifications to your PC ("We've detected that you've installed an Ad Blocker, please remove it before accessing your banking website")

This won't happen overnight, but the forced hardware upgrade is all about control (Microsoft over you) and creating a walled garden to drive profits (like Apple).

You can take a look at Android's attestation and how it prevents running your banking apps on a rooted cellphone as an example of things to come.

Before we start to pat ourselves on the back: How does the number of murders in the U. S. compare to the rest of the world? This is really the only meaningful metric, otherwise it's like a chain smoker congratulating themselves from dropping from 3 packs a day to 2.

*"... there are lies, damn lies, and statistics." *

*edit*: The link I posted referred to a high murder rate for U.S. Virgin Islands (not contential U.S.).  So, it's not relevant to the conversation. Thanks for calling me out on it. 

You have a valid point, and if your using this service to download dark web "illegal to possess" content (like CP) - then, yeah, you probably don't want to use it.

However, if you "find" the random movie/tv-show: The copyright holders are usually chasing people who are distributing content (like you do with torrents) as opposed to the people who may accidentally consume the content. ... but IANAL
