Tons. A special firmware I use for my 3D printer is supported through Discord. All questions and new firmware links are posted there. Even with Slack being "searchable", unless I am mistaken, it's not indexed by search engines, right? So when trying to figure something out I would need to search for webpages and then also search Slack right?

I was specifically referring to the forum like sections. The lack of indexing and internet archive means large swaths of knowledge, timelines, history, and even culture will become dust in the wind.

That shit is the most infuriating thing ever to me. It seems like so many technical discussions and communities are going to Discord now where that information is not indexed or preserved. How many issues have I had where the answer was sitting on a Discord server that will never appear in any general search result?

I have always said if I could re-roll my stats I would trade whatever amount of intelligence I supposedly have to be dumb as a box of fucking rocks with a ludicrous amount of charisma.

I should have been a blow job!

I have personally had the most luck with SMS Backup Pro. I know it's on the Play Store and paid, but after having lots of issues with Fdroid apps that supposedly did similar things as well as the OEM phone transfer apps failing it just worked.

Jeff Jackson of North Carolina would be my personal pick. He's just too new. If he were 4-8 years further into his career I think it would be a slam dunk.

Are there any phones supported that I can install an SD card on?

That's where I am at as well. I would be more than happy to pay for YouTube Premium as I recognize it is not an insignificant undertaking, and I even think some of the algorithmic suggestions are good (though an option to turn them off maybe?). If I am paying for the service though then I think I should then become the customer, not the product, and should have some guarantees to that effect.

I'd also like to have a more clear idea of how much the service really costs. If it costs a lot to run, then just price it appropriately. Knock it off with this boil the frog bull shit and raising the cost every year or two.

Yeah, the lack of an edit feature is the primary issue I have with it.

Have you ever herd of Aves? Kinda the opposite of "simple" in terms of feature set, but can be downloaded from F-Droid and is highly customizable. I really like it's tagging system/feature.

I thought someone might say that, lol. It's good to know this extension will work that way. I have at least one extension that when using the custom collection method causes none of the extensions in the collection to load or work.

Yeah, that's what I currently do. I'm just constantly annoyed how restricted I seem to be in Firefox mobile in general with add-ons. No scripting add-on, no redirect add-on, no User Agent add-on. I still run Firefox as my main on all devices, but using it on mobile is definitely my least favorite.

This still can't be installed on standard FireFox mobile, right?

Right as LoadingReadyRun is getting ready for Desert Bus, so no Checkpoint for two weeks. I wonder if they will cover it when they get back 🤔

And that's why variety of choices (not just different people, but different people with very different backgrounds) is great/important! One never know what they are going to connect with.

Not all extensions though. I want to be able to use the User Agent switcher that I use on desktop and when I add that to the extension collection it causes none of the extensions to appear in Firefox mobile.

I completely agree. I do think it's worth noting that for me when I say better I'm not saying it in a quality or quantifiable sense, but in my subjective sense. In terms of skill or talent or whatever you want to call it, I think they are on the same level, but for my specific tastes Craig is just more enjoyable for me.

Yeah like.... fuck. I get where they are coming from, and I can't really fault them on a human individual level. Even if Ukraine comes out of this as the undisputed victors with all of their land and resources returned to them and full EU and NATO membership (and I REALLY hope they do), the people these protestors are advocating for are going to return home permanently changed by what they experienced.

Like you said/alluded to though that's better than the alternative. I don't know, maybe some kind of rotation could be implemented where they get to go home for a couple of months to rest and get a lot of mental health related services to help them maintain their effectiveness?

Sure, but not even close to all. It's been literal years since the change. I was understanding at first, but now it's just becoming frustrating. Things that are very easy in desktop Firefox just isn't possible on mobile Firefox. And yes, I am running Firefox nightly and custom collections for my extensions on mobile.
