I’m at the point of looking to pay for a good usenet service. I’ll definitely probably start looking next week.

He should remove the “post” button while he’s at it.

NowTV is to watch the formula 1 race live.

Ok now this is interesting. Wonder if Roblox would also work. Thanks.

I haven’t considered pirating VST’s. My only issue with pirating DRM protected stuff is the risk of having viruses injected into them.

NowTV is the streaming service Sky provide in the UK and this is where I watch the Formula 1. There are no working extensions of hacks for it that I’ve found so far.

Grapejuice and vinegar were working but Roblox disabled the use of Wine again recently so those don’t work anymore. Apparently it gets used for cheats (I somehow doubt there are enough linux user in the first place for it to matter, let alone linux users that want to cheat).

Office 365 in the browser is ok,a nd I’ve used it, but still not quite right.

Yeah that’s what it said but it is required by the widevine aur package. I guess I could fork that package to remove the glibc-widevine package?

In the UK I think it depends how much you torrent, how often, and who your ISP is. I’m pretty sure the big main ISPs all have to be vigilant and tell their customers off for doing it. I use a small ISP, and I set my upload speed to 10Mbits and my download to half my max bandwidth. I don’t seed a library of stuff just whatever is being downloaded, then I stop. So yes. I’m a leech and have been for years. No VPN. However we only torrent when we can’t get something on a service we already pay for so not more than 3 times a week.

tl;dr - in the UK use a small ISP and stay below the radar and you’ll be fine.

This seems like bullshit to me. I’ve not seen anyone complaining their VPN isn’t working. And any business with staff using VPNs would not be happy if they managed to let that update get applied.

I’m on Pixel 7 and current Firefox, but it won’t install. It Just says “no app found to open xpi files”

Edit: fixed. Have to engage Dev options. Settings > About > tap the Firefox icon a few times. Then go back to settings and you’ll see the “install add-on from file” option.

Scarry read.

Not ONE government, but I’d accept something that lots of governments sign up to and share responsibility for. E.g. funding and making sure it is not giving any one country preferential treatment.

Indeed. Needs to be run by an independent non-profit organisation.

There needs to be a registry service that allows people to show they have a license for any digital media we purchase.

Signed up just to get my ID, and make sure no one else can have it.

I don’t think it was a scam as such. I think people didn’t really understand their model. I haven’t stayed informed on it though so maybe there is more to know.

iPhone users don’t have the option of a convenient app, though I understand brave browser can work. Either way android users have an easier time blocking ads then Iphone users. I pay for YouTube family so my kids and the TV can avoid ads.

I wondered what was going on when Steam said Counter-Striker 2 successfully updated.

Boot Drive could be immutable and not contain any form of log?

Bitwarden - does everything, and is free. You can even setup a shared vault so 2 people can have access to shared stuff like online shopping and streaming sites. Takes a bit of admin work but it is not hard.
