You’re not supposed to intrinsically have your sense of direction in an unfamiliar location. Some people can do that but assuming you’re not paying full attention on your way to a new location it’s actually normal and expected to have to get your bearings which means taking a moment to orient yourself and figure out what direction is what. And then it’s easy to forget (let’s say you step into a store) until you build a sense of landmarks. Also the more dense a location the harder it is because it’s more complex.

Most paywalls know this and don’t load the content at all. Don’t do it because it doesn’t work

I’ve purchased 7 games from them over the years, and my friends others. No issues. Started in 2014 with my last being in 2021.

The “internet never forgets” was always bullshit. Just a catch phrase from ppl who don’t understand how it works. It costs money to keep a server serving. Maintenance, support, upgrades, electricity, internet, etc.

Things are removed or lost on the internet all the time. The things you want to go away linger and the things you want to keep are fleeting. You don’t get to choose unless you’re paying. And those that are paying aren’t keeping what you want them to.

Revanced and newpipe fill different roles while covering a lot of the same functionality. Revanced is still the YouTube app … Just modified.

There’s a lot of ppl that don’t want the actual yt app for everything that it is. Also this being Lemmy there’s a lot of users looking for open source alternatives for all apps.

It really just proves the point though. Hardware at time of production is a major security risk and any side needs to be aware and protect themselves.

Remote control over your phone or using a Xbox controller like if it were a console. Back in the day I had an htpc remote but ability to control apps is inconsistent.

For me nothing is more simple then a PC interface. I hate having to scroll using a TV remote it takes so long to do anything and it’s quite limiting in other ways.

Stremio/Plex with a Microsoft keyboard that has a touchpad built in. It’s big but you can get small ones off Amazon for $20

Same. Seems like overkill when you can see what it can do. But also at that price you can velcro it to the back of your tv and it can literally do anything so have at. I don’t see a lot of better options. I use full computers personally.

N100 mini PC imo. $150 does everything.

You’d be surprised maybe how many developers don’t properly remove all files they put on your computer. Adobe is notorious for this.

You misunderstand. They’re calculating a fingerprint that identifies you across sessions despite you changing up a bunch of values on your browser with an extension because that’s all highly detectable. They know it’s junk data they don’t use it. It actually is worse because you stop blending in with the crowd.

You’re better off blending in then trying to look unique with every visit. The latter is a flawed concept.

Read the arkenfox guide they get into it. Most extensions just reduce your ability to blend in to the crowd and thus should be avoided.

Your extension might make you MORE finger-printable. Advanced fingerprinting scripts can detect lies told by extensions.

If you’re actually interested in reducing your fingerprint you should read the arkenfox guide which leverages built in features from firefox. You’ll see very quickly that if someone wants to fingerprint you it’s trivial and there’s little you can do short of TOR.

Arkenfox is a set of Firefox flags.

Librewolf/mule is essentially pre-packaged Firefox w/arkenfox and some things stripped out.

The devs work informally on it which is why some releases lag. Like the jump to v128 lagged on mule because Firefox switched the way their repo worked and mull is based off of the Firefox source with some build scripts to change the logo, branding and add arkenfox settings by default.

The flags used by Arkenfox are largely funded by the tor project as they work to upstream many of the tor browser changes back into Firefox which enables efficiency for future tor builds.

This benefits everyone as the privacy preserving features of tor can be used off of the tor network too.

I’ve owned/used HPs, Dells, and several Thnkpads and the thinkpads by far are always the best machines. They are built to last, support is top notch.

I dunno how regular arrests and shutdowns is shaking the sabre. It’s straight up using it.

Where’s the fear mongering?

These shutdowns and arrests occur regularly.

The 40 warnings here were to resellers, not viewers. Although they have warned users of services in previous busts.

the way he holds that iron too

Wdym? It’s open source.

You know user.js is just Firefox about:config flags built into Firefox from the tor upscale project…you can literally just do about:config and read the setup. Or read the source.

Heres the repo: https://codeberg.org/librewolf/settings

Heres their default flags https://codeberg.org/librewolf/settings/src/branch/master/librewolf.cfg

As someone who uses ff with a user script I can totally see why someone would want the convenience of this built in out of the box. We can have both. And a person can use both.
