I'll give you an upvote for courage, lol. I just can't do it, myself. I'm not a fan of Google's moral ethics. Every time I open Chrome I feel vulnerable.

If you want to have one streaming service to rule them all, that'd be Stremio. I don't know how specific I want to get in this community, but there's ways of turning it into a torrent streamer. I pay $3.75 a month for it using debrid and have access to everything, even obscure movies. However, I always seed what I watch to at least 5x.

Stremio has an app for Android, Samsung TV, Windows, and Linux. I think mac and iOS, too, but I don't run those at all so I'm not sure. You can use catalog plugins to mimic Netflix, Hulu, etc. But you can also use it with your Netflix, Prime and other such streaming accounts.

Edit: Also, with debrid, you don't need a VPN. It does all the anonymity for you. That's the only thing that you have to pay for.

Oh hey. I just fixed some of the sluggish feeling of Zen. I thought about it overnight and had an idea. Turns out I was right. In about:config, Floorp has mousewheel.default.delta_multiplier_y set to 300. Zen only has it set to 200. Might be going back to Zen for a bit now, lol. I also disabled all mods and will be re-enabling them 1 by 1 to see if they had anything to add to the slow feeling.

I can't either. Use the Gesturefy Firefox extension. Even has custom user gestures if you need and can you can change existing gestures.

I've tried the others, but Gesturefy seems to work best and I've been using it for years.

I really love Vivaldi, but Zen took over for me. It has Workspaces and even tab tiling. It also has something called Essential Tabs, which tile as buttons at the top of your tab bar.

There's also Glance Mode, which will open a whole page in a hovering preview over your current page. It really can do some crazy stuff with tabs.

Dammit. Came to make the exact same comment in almost the exact same way...

Table? Naw, cable.

I miss my DVI to HDMI. Had to trade it off to a friend because his BenQ tinted everything lime green over HDMI. I gotta get another one to put in my big bag of cords I'll never use but really like to have around.

My rule of thumb for technology is "don't force it". If it doesn't come out with a light pull that's when the flashlight comes out and I start inspecting. This rule doesn't always work, though. Sometimes it takes the strength of 10 gorillas to put RAM in and I'm always scared to push harder.

Mechanical retention plugs are fading away, sadly. Long live the era of loose, wiggly plugs that may one day need to be held at a 20 degree angle to work.

That being said, I hate the retention clips on RJ45 and RJ11 jacks... I've had a few that wouldn't release at all. Then I wind up struggling with my router for 4-5 minutes because its hooked up in my entertainment stand. If you accidentally snap those suckers in the process and plug them back in they will slowly slide out and you're left wondering why your ethernet connection isn't working a couple months later.

I've debated getting a spool of cat5 and a bag of RJ45. Much cheaper than replacing a whole cord every time and saves a lot of landfill. On the days my PC repair teacher was busy with a full IT backlog he'd sit us in a circle and had us put plugs on Cat5e, so the process isn't unknown to me.

Don't you go knockin my VGA. I still have about 10 in my attic. If nothing else, they're great self-defense weapons. They could do some serious damage to a potential attacker and probably still work after.

I checked out DuckDuckGo Browser a bit. The mobile version is definitely more polished than the desktop version. At least you can use the DuckPlayer to watch YouTube without ads. The main thing for me is that I need a browser that forces dark mode on sites and the last I checked the DDG Desktop browser doesn't have it, even though the mobile one does.
