L3ft_F13ld!

I’ll admit I didn’t read it. I fell into the typical trap of reacting only to the headline. Doesn’t change the fact that recent releases have been rather underwhelming while feeling increasingly resource hungry. Every new release seems more sluggish for very little improvement in my experience.

How about taking your time and releasing it when it’s ready? Stop picking dates right after the last release and just make something good again.

Try Firefox or Mull on android with uBlock origin set to medium mode. Most of the popups and paywalls never show for me.

Do keep in mind this can break some sites and need you to change settings for those sites.

At this point I’m pretty sure it’s bots all the way down. And whatever isn’t a bot is someone pretending to be someone else or some other BS.

It exists, but I’m pretty sure it’s not the media player you remember so fondly.

These days, I’m just using Audacious with the default Winamp skin from the Winamp Skin Museum. It scratches the itch well enough.

I’ve used WhatsApp on unlocked bootloaders for years. What isn’t working?

Also, I think DivestOS allows locking the bootloader in some cases.

Sorry to hear about that. I’ve been using Neo for a while and never had issues like that. Might be because your Android version is a bit older maybe. Hopefully it works on your future devices then.

Also maybe report the bug to the developer in whichever way they use for this project.

That sucks. But I think this is specifically about their open source licensing.

Thanks for that. Looks like I’ll be keeping an eye out for replacements just in case.

Got any links to the bitwarden drama? I missed it.

Been doing this recently too. I’ve just got the default Winamp skin, but it’s so nice to have that part of my childhood back.

Miru that uses torrents vs. the other Miru.

Thought I’d add this for anyone curious. Been using the Miru with torrents and loving it. It’s even better if you use it with an AniList account to keep track of what you’re watching.

Which is perfectly fair. I just tend to be stingy about paying for apps when there’s a free one that does what I need.

Nothing wrong with paying for something that’s worth it, though.

I’ve heard of Swift Backup but never tried it because I think it was paid or automatic backups were a paid feature or something. But for my simple needs Neo Backup has been perfect.

Hope it works for you, since other comments also mentioned Titanium having issues and being unmaintained.

Last time I used Titanium Bckup it was losing compatibility and I moved on to Neo Backup. Did Titanium get updated again ad some point or something?

Sakurajima has a Mastodon and a Sharkey instance. Both very much aimed at Japanese culture and related stuff. This should hit your anime requirement at least.

I’m pretty sure Adguard is more than just a browser extension. They have an app for many different OSs, which I think makes setting up their DNS ad blocking on your devices easier and simpler. There’s also Adguard Home, which is similar to pi-hole, if you want to self host a DNS ad blocker.

They also offer a VPN.

So you aren’t paying just for a browser extension necessarily.

Glad to hear it.

This is where I got my repos for Mihon and its forks. The link has repos for anime and manga.
