Oh dang, that’s $32 AUD! Bit out of my price range!

Frugal Usenet works great for me
Yeah same, its been almost 10 years for me. I briefly tried other options like brave, but kept coming back to Firefox
I used i3 for a couple of years, but I missed the ease of having a DE that just recognised USB sticks and external hard drives, and all the other little things that you have to set up manually
Join a smaller instance. You can still see posts on lemmy.world, and you might find a niche you’re interested in in the process
Nobody is talking about marxists or leftists here, tankies are a breed of their own
I used wind scribe for a few years for torrenting on my phone andpc and never had any trouble. Once I forgot to turn on the vpn while downloading a movie on my phone at work (using the companywifi 🤦) and got an email from IT saying they’d gotten a warning and not to do it again 🤣😬
They do have a firewall option to prevent scenarios like that
I started using Usenet about a year ago and much prefer it. Once you have you it set up it’s very straight forward to use, and means you don’t have to worry about maintaining your ratio, or making sure your vpn doesn’t drop out, or piratebay going down etc etc
When I discovered soulseek and could stop paying $20-$30 per CD. Incidentally, I bought an iPod round the same time and couldn’t copy my mp3s over, and that’s the last time i ever bought an apple product
it must depend on your location cos I can still use it
Yeah I don’t see the problem here
My laptop is 6 years old and has been running arch Linux with xfce for most of that time. I got tired of maintaining it and changed to an “easy” Linux mint distro. It takes much longer to boot up now and feels generally sluggish in comparison to a minimal arch install. So from experience, in older hardware having a bloated distro can really slow down your system.
I’m not gonna say I know much about his history, but I am surprised so many people are jumping to take his side in this debacle. I would’ve thought in this day and age that people would be a bit more sceptical of CEOs.
Without knowing the real reasons behind it, it’s very difficult to hold an opinion on the board’s decisions
It’s how people have been talking for, like, 20 years now at least
Yeah I didn’t think disabling features for Firefox users would make sense. The user would have to know you’re punishing them for it to be effective at incentivising them to switch to chrome.
I personally don’t trust Google anyway and mainly just use duckduckgo.

I think so, I only really looked at the cheapest one
Try Usenet, you don’t need to worry about a VPN that way
Maybe, but chances are it’ll get taken down in the next few days
