Sure, and there’s also an extension to install a web page as an app similar to Chrome. The point is that, out of the box, it lacks some features that I enjoy. Extensions are great and I use plenty of them, but that doesn’t mean that Firefox has those features, it just has extensions that have them.
Firefox is great, don’t get me wrong, I’m definitely preferring it, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t have all the features that I wanted up front.
I wasn’t a fan of Firefox either and personally lived using edge. When the whole web integrity thing started happening, I felt like I should switch to Firefox and haven’t looked back.
I still have some complaints, like you can’t install sites native app which I used a lot. I don’t think tab groups have been implemented yet, which isn’t a huge deal but very useful. And there were a few others I can’t remember off the top of my head. In the end I value my privacy a bit more so I’ve decided Firefox is worth it.
Plus mobile ad blocking is a god send.
Interesting. I might have to get Jellyfin set up and run them simultaneously for a bit. Like I said my favorite Plex thing is Plexamp because it’s so clean and simple and I’d rather use a dedicated app for music instead of the main app.
I do like that it’s FOSS though, so that’s pretty great.
Is jellyfin that much better? I’ve seen people throw it around a lot and I’ve yet to try it. The big thing I like about Plex is Plexamp as a music app and it seems like Jellyfin lacks that for the time being.
The last time I pirated a game was for Freelancer. Couldn’t buy it anywhere except a CD and there was no guarantee it would work so I pirated it, it wasn’t what I expected, so I removed it.
I also downloaded a Halo CE crack for PC but I owned the physical disk and just used it to play with friends at a LAN party.
Otherwise there’s no reason to pirate anything gaming related, short of protest or something.
TV, movies and music are so hard to find. Lots of people will tell me “no just use Spotify”. No. Go try to listen to Turn the Page by Bob Seger, and not a live version. The only versions Spotify has are the live and the Metallica versions. Try to find Whitesnake’s Deep Purple cover album. I used to never pirate music because I could buy the few albums they didn’t have and upload them to Google music. Now, there’s no option for that. I’d rather have a smaller library with the music I want than a massive one that’s missing my favorites,
Every time I call one of my higher ups at work he’ll say something dumb like “Dominos pizza how can I help you” or “This is the product owner help line, no we can’t change your due dates”.
I generally get a chuckle out of it.
Last time he called me his therapist.
Tim Curry gives his all regardless of the role.

So, I like metal. Death, thrash, heavy, doom, prog, it’s all great.
However, something like 8 years ago, I found myself really enjoying Lana Del Rey and I still can’t explain why. Then a year or two ago the same happened with Dua Lipa. They are the only artists I can’t explain and when I get suggestions similar to them I don’t like them.
Sounds like you were just a quitter. I counted to 100 all the time to show off.
I commented on reddit a lot but I do feel the need to be more involved here because I want to help build up the community. That said, I do want to be more careful about how I use my account. Avoid getting into discourse when I can, try not to argue with people as much.
I feel like I can be healthier on Lemmy if I go into it with a different mindset, and without Reddit’s dogshit algorithm, it might make it easier.
At this point, the internet is so goddamn unusable without an adblocker that I don’t know why anyone would try.
At work, I’ll occasionally start talking to someone about some fandom like Star Wars or Pathfinder or whatever. I’ll go to the wikia or fandom page for them and suddenly I get a million popups and half the page is covered in ads. It’s actually so bad that my work’s filter will occasionally block a site because they’ll say that the ads are too bad.
The only time I see ads now is when I watch YouTube or Hulu on my TV, but even then I try to cast from my desktop (though Hulu ads seem to break through). I understand the idea of supporting creators, but for most YouTubers, their money comes from the sponsorships, not from me watching an ad.
Yeah I still have to go to reddit for good, solid PC gaming news or updates about Starfield. The CFB subreddit as well. It feels like my frontpage/subscribed on Lemmy is a shell of what it used to be, and maybe that’s a good thing but I feel like I have to keep going back for random stuff.
One big issue I have with federation is that there are like 4 versions of r/gaming, each with their own pace of content but they don’t seem to be getting updated in Lemmy.world. I’m tempted to make an account on .ml or .ca just to get more content since .world is defederated by a few places.
I was somewhere around a year or two old. I can vividly remember me and the two neighbor girls who were 2 and 4 years older than me going into the bathroom and flushing some bath toy down the toilet, my dad being mad, then me asking if I could have it back when he unclogged the toilet.
I also distinctly remember trying to find a toy that for a while I thought was a fake memory that I made up. The toy was a small version of a T-16 Skyhopper that came with a Luke action figure. I had to have been 3 because that toy was 1999 and my memory was when we moved, and I remember that pretty well.
I also remember stepping on a carpet tack in our house, and I can even almost perfectly draw out that house’s layout even though it was in my first 3-4 years of life.
The PWA app works decent, but, unless I did something wrong, it would open links in itself instead of my main Firefox window which wasn’t what I’d want normally.
I still use it, but it’s definitely not as nice as I’d want it to be.
Definitely one of those things that’s minor and I can look past though.
