first things first i really appreciate the effort. going to be honest i wasn’t really expecting a response. to answer you questions.
- I only had bromite installed so i tried some other lemmy instances to test, but not another browser. I did check it on the desktop as well (which worked fine).
- i use f-droid to install most software on Android.
- i had recently re-installed my phone and assumed everything was up to date… i guess it was, doesn’t help when the repo hasn’t been updated in 2 years.
- i just learned that bromite’s main developer got bored and basically left. so yes, i was using a 2 year old browser 😳
So i installed Cromite and Firefox and all works well. I do appreciate having the lemmy.nz instance so thank you. and apologies if i created any work for you.
They reported on Hamas Attacks in a fairly standard news style when they attacked. Israel has killed at least 25x more civilians then Hamas i would expect slightly different reporting based on that at this stage.

Here in New Zealand you can buy it at the Hardware store in 20KG bags. Older houses have pot belly “stoves” for heat, which are smaller then log burners usually, and coal is the best fuel for them.
My longest was when i went 100% Full time on my main machine (no dual boot), I stopped distro-hoppping. I Installed Debian stable when it first came out (Jessie) and stayed with it until it shifted to “old-stable” which was a little bit over 3 years.
A lot of people give Debian stable a hard time but i found it worked well. Most software that i needed to be a little bit newer i could get from the backports repository. It was only at the end of it’s lifecycle that i noticed started running in to software being a little to old for what i wanted to do. Then i went back to distro-hopping for a while until i found my next home. :-)
