Blocked by your provider, or whoever manages your network? If you’re on a VPN, try a different IP or service- it’s possible they’ve been blocked by DDoS protection or something.

On Android, something like Flud with VLC is an ok local & manual option.

Nu-uh

I don’t think that viewpoint makes sense.
It’s like saying you shouldn’t throw out food because people elsewhere in the world are starving.
The two things are divided by a large gap of unrelatedness.

Hub switches, for one. Power is another (usb a is easier to solder on by hand, as well as cheaper)

Those’re probably containerised.

Well, a large part of the issue are all the damn exceptions

It’s inevitable. Your competitors are using ai. You have to implement it to not get behind. No one cares beyond being able to slap a label on the product.

Don’t worry, logitech comes with a unified receiver driver, new unified app i forget the name of, logitech g hub, logitech options - and you’ll be forced to use a combination of at least 2 and likely 3 of those to setup a mouse.
As a bonus, the mouse won’t care to remember what button maps where, if used on a device without said software.

You’re right, but I think it’s fairly safe to assume that if one knows about sponsorblock, they’re using an ad blocker too.

30% desktop, 15% mobile estimated in the US use ad blockers.
That is not insignificant by any means, even if it’s overestimated.

I’ve switched to this from DuckDuckGo right during the downtime and, so far, it’s been working out great.

Corps sure can’t

Database is rarely, if ever bundled into the app container, unless it’s SQLite.

Bunch of features we’re broken for me too, such as group chat tab page embed, but they seem to be fixing them slowly.

Good advertising! I just hope the dev gets out of this without consequences and the project lives on.

Look into dns ad blocker, you can avoid a lot of ads on your entire network with this "one simple trick ". No additional hw or sw needed.

True, but everything is more bandwidth demanding these days, plus we’re used to fast loading.

For me, Steam is the go-to proof.
Obviously different experiences, but Spotify’s refusal to do hi rez and the fact some music dissappears randomly (not their fault tbf) makes me want to pirate my library.

I’m sticking with Plex for now too. Although there are some grating, persistent issues in basic use, it usually just works.
Swear the UI gets laggier on the TV by the day, Jellyfin was jarring to me how snappy it was in comparison.

I’ll take two

We should modernise the silly number neighbour fad by leaving messages for the next user of our public IP.

I switched recently from Trillium.
After installing two dozens plugins, it may just replace my KB site, note apps, task manager and PRM all at once.

I feel like if you don’t agree or trust the content a website loads, dont visit it. I use ad blockers, and I think what I do is the same as piracy, especially if sites rely on ad revenue to run. I don’t like this business model, but it’s not like I’m paying for youtube alternatives either, not yet at least.

I use Plex and have the ‘lifetime’ licence.
There have been bugs that don’t get fixed for years, while a bunch of new features I dont use keep getting released.

These are incredibly infuriating; downloads, server not connecting until app reset, library browsing glitches that only get worse each year…

I have not switched to Jellyfin yet due to my specific setup, but it will happen, or I’ll go mad, whichever comes first.

Steam is a prime example. I don’t want to pirate, because I like the services they provide.
Make that, but for movies. I suppose that’s what Netflix was at some point.
