It's all about ads to them, and I will do anything in my power not to see ads of products I am not interested in.. which is pretty much anything being advertised to me.

Canada has advertising restrictions, notably drug commercials and until recently: sports betting. I wish they hadn't allowed those, they're the worst and since we're a new market every single site is advertising up here.

I had mine jailbroken and had koreader on there. I put it online without realizing and amazon forced an update without my consent so they could patch that little loophole. It still lets me download azw3 files from content & devices to "manually transfer to device" but I was not pleased

Guess you didn't see what google is trying to do now.

They only get away with this because of their market share of browsers

Amazon plugged all the loopholes.

The only way to do it now is to have an older Kindle device attached to your account, you can go into "Content & Devices" and you have the option to transfer to your Kindle via usb. Which will give you an azw3 file that you can use with DeDRM. But you can't do it with KU which will only be served in KFX format.

The KFX team have infiltrated the groups who come up with vulnerabilities to allow DRM removal of kfx to then patch those issues before they can hit the general public. They've done it repeatedly so far so that's why they've given up on DRM removal of kfx.

Its available on the open web again, they've made official plugins to help you find it:

There's a chrome equivalent that no one should be using.

Ignore this fool, warm water is superior in every conceivable way.

I agree the game is worth it. What bugs me is that Larian always releases games for really cheap during EA, then raises the price slightly after release.

This game though, was full AAA price from the start, so I believe a good chunk of the price of this game is going to Hasbro for D&D licensing. And like fuck those guys are getting my money after all the shit they pulled.

Blokada 6 uses the DNS implementation. It's a subscription service. I paid for a year then realized I could use NextDNS and use it on multiple devices rather than be limited to just my phone for a couple dollars less.

I'm actually using NextDNS' vpn implementation as it doesn't affect the wifi at work, for whatever reason I'd always have to disable private dns in order to use the corporate wifi.

I use DNS adblocking and I see those little black squares too. Even without ads i still prefer Connect. To each their own

Start > Run > taskkill /F /IM:taskmgr.exe

I use it with prowlarr, works great.

I prefer Revolt. It's similar enough to Discord that I thought adoption among my friends would be easy. Nope. Some people just don't care to leave

I meant it as a joke, who knows how long before Elon nukes it for the hell of it. But Amazon's is still in the works, and the Canadian government gave a huge amount of money for a home-grown solution that's supposed to provide internet access in very remote parts of Canada

I'm using the official qbittorrent remote app. I like the UI better. And use Nzb360 to manage my *arr apps remotely

With Starlink anything is possible, go far enough north and you might not be sharing satellites with many people.

I'm thinking Saskatchewan, my wife won't leave Toronto but the house we're in is worth 1.4M in the current market. I could get a similarly sized house in Saskatchewan for under $300,000. They have fibre available in the cities so I can keep my gigabit speeds. We could set aside some money for retirement and buy a couple snowmobiles, a couple ATVs and really enjoy living. Instead of being miserable here.

Canada has massive immigration targets, but guess what? No one wants to move to the middle of nowhere where it gets down to -45C they want to live in major cities along the border, where we haven't built housing since the 70s and unless these immigrants bring money to buy hyperinflated 2M dollar houses end up living terrible lives, doing terrible jobs, further putting a strain on our crumbling healthcare system.

I'm all for immigration but we need a place for people to go. Refugees are showing up right now and we don't know where to put them, a whole whack of them that showed up were living on the streets in 40+C weather because we have no place to put them and little money to put them up somewhere

Does Prowlarr work in a similar way?

What I don't understand about "the algorithm" is why creators have to branch off into different channels when content differs from their main type of content.

Its often the personalities that I enjoy, whether the creator decides to put out a different type of content. So while I voraciously consume their content sometimes I'm completely unaware of separate channels because I never read video descriptions and have add-ons that block superfluous bullshit

In the case of MAM you go on irc and 3 times a week they hold application interviews. Just read the rules, and you'll do fine.
