Yeah. Most of the flannel we have left is only good for working in the barn…

I’m down to using Facebook in Firefox again. And reddit very occasionally too. Gostery,AdBlock, privacy possum, so many addons available for Firefox.

Firefox on mobile has piles of apps generally now. No need for a list or nightly or beta.

Yup. When net neutrality died it let a few corporate overlords rise up and kill off much of the old free web. What much of us grew up on was a much fewer, wilder web. One you could still dream on and where you could still think damned near any new thing could come from anyone. Now, you pretty much have to already have $.

Honestly it’s one of my personal reasons for disliking AI. I (let alone most of our kids) don’t want or need a reason to think less, let alone own less of my content. FFS.

That’s where I’m at with reddit, and where I’ve been with Facebook for years. Though, interestingly, Slim Social for Facebook has gotten around this quite well for Facebook, for everything except for messages until very recently, where you have to ask for the desktop site. Maybe someone can come up with something similar for reddit…

Yeah, anti-cheat/multiplayer is the biggest hurdle to go for linux gaming, as well as VR. They’re the two things that continue to hold my kids in Windows, for now. I hope that someday they’re remedied and I can move them into Linux systems for gaming, but for now, it’s just not realistic, sadly.

Same. Containers are what Firefox has and chrome just doesn’t.
