A steam deck might be a cheaper alternative.

Every service that disabled or limited the API has seen an increase in running costs, because people turn to scraping, which costs them more resources overall, and cannot be controlled by the site owners as easily.

Let’s be honest, though, hosting text files with a search bar isn’t that much expensive to justify a response like this.

It’s fine if they want to earn money, but then they should be upfront about it, and not making up stories about fluke running costs. I’d rather see a donation button.

Opensubtitles does not create the subtitles, that’s done by the community, which is being monetised and sub authors get nothing out of it.

Disk RAM

PWAs are available on mobile, where it makes the most sense from the user perspective.

If you want this functionality on the desktop, there’s a tool for that as well.

It can. Just use the built-in containers.

I’ve heard he’s planning to run for the president of the US by 2030. \s

Vastly reduces MITM attacks, and makes your traffic mostly invisible to the internet provider, be it a public WiFi, or a private network at a friend’s house.

Petition to rename X to Y, I think it sums up Elon’s entire existence quite nicely.

Nintendo Quality Seal of Approval.

It’s indeed an issue. Several manufacturers like Xiaomi or Samsung lock their devices, which can make it quite challenging or even impossible to install custom software. Ironically, Google is the most open vendor if you’re interested in customising your device.

In case someone actually ponders this, Mullvad means mole in Swedish.

GrapheneOS enhances Android privacy by isolating your device’s activity, providing a level of anonymity that’s not found in standard iOS and Android setups. In GrapheneOS, only you, the recipient, and the cellular mast you’re connected to are privy to your call information.

In contrast, with iOS and default Android, Apple and Google have visibility into all your connections. While there are many nuances to this, I hope this gives you a clearer picture.

Try Godot. It’s not exactly the same, but similar enough to let you switch relatively quickly.

Usually, cracking doesn’t typically result in the blocking of network features. This is why most groups suggest blocking the executable in the firewall.

ZRAM is used as swap space, it’s not just the compression that makes it stand out.

It’s called ZRAM.

Yes, it is essentially swap file, but they list it as RAM under settings like 6+2 RAM, which is at best misleading.

Xiaomi is also guilty of that.

Swap != RAM

I reckon that blocking ad blockers isn’t some extra countermeasure here. It’s actually right in line with what Manifest V3 and that new environment attestation system are all about. They’re basically making sure that if you tinker with crucial bits of the JavaScript – stuff they see as essential (like anti-adblock) – you won’t make it through the attestation and you’ll get blocked.

They don’t want to block all modifications because that would be a hindrance to many users, for example the visually impaired. However, anything affecting their bottom line will probably be blocked.

How that will affect Firefox? I don’t know, maybe nothing will change for us, or perhaps Google will block Firefox altogether. We certainly know they’re capable.
