Giving it a try since I haven't heard of this.

It seems to have cool options, but for navigation it's just completely unusable.

Only a few years ago, I found fireflies living near me. I never knew they existed in Europe.

Government decided to level their habitat though. They're building a wildlife rescue center, ironically.

You never tried installing Wine?

Depends on the country. I once got some people in trouble when I passed through Germany because I didn't know internet is heavily censored/surveilled there. Haven't had trouble anywhere else though. Do some research on your country.

The biggest threats come from the movie industry. Just use streaming sites for movies and series, torrent the other stuff.

Look into Tribler, I2P and Utopia.

Out of the ones I've tried (Jerboa, Connect, Thunder), I think Thunder is best (after a little config) : https://github.com/thunder-app/thunder/releases

I must be out of touch.

I didn't think I'd need an app to visit YouTube.

Tbf the only reason I know that YouTube has paid subscriptions is because of threads like this one, so it doesn't seem like they're really pushing their paid service.

Maybe they're only targeting people who, for some reason, don't block ads, and that's why I'm unaware, but they should offer a little more than the things you can get for free already (no ads, downloading) if they want to draw in the adblocker crowd too.

Now people will start to google what's up with all those ads and end up installing uBlock.

I accidentally watched a YouTube video on a browser without blocking. It started with an ad. I thought I'd just endure it this time. Then another ad. OK, just this time then. Suddenly, another ad in the middle of the video. I gave up. Who'd have the patience to sit through this?

Then there's Google's habit of completely ignoring the browser's language settings so I have to sit though ads I don't even understand.

On streaming sites (Fmoviesz), some mirrors have a download button. You can also use the Video Downloadhelper plugin for Firefox.

Maybe Here comes the rain again?

You have to learn to fool yourself and to not ask such questions

God is unreasonable and scary when you are a Christian, at least for me when I grew up. You're basically told he can read your mind so you pretend he's a great guy, but to me an evil God is just Christianity.

All phones I've had, had the jack on the bottom where it's in the way of me holding the phone or placing the phone on something. I always wondered why it's not just at the top.

BTW just got a new phone (Oneplus) and I'm glad to have found one that has a jack at all

I'm missing the ashtrays in the 90s photo

People coming over for work/business: expats.

Unemployed people migrating to look for a better life or job: (im)migrants.

That's how I understood it.

I'm kind of in between. I'm not an expat, but immigrant doesn't sound right neither. I just call myself a foreigner.

It's strange how I've seen this exact claim before. How many expats do you know? I know a bunch of expats and there are quite a few Asian people in the expat community.

Not at all :) But I suppose it was obvious I was a tourist

According to statistics on my server, it's 57% Chrome, 14% Safari and 12% Firefox. Also 10% use Linux. I'm not hosting anything tech related though.

Anyways, adblocking is kind of essential. Even the boomers ask what's wrong when ads start showing. The only people I've seen browsing without adblock are Apple users.

Yes, I didn't spend a lot of time in Germany but it happened several times. I traveled by train and they claim the train stations are where people do their business
