A month ago, a windows update made my laptop crawl to a stop. It needed 2-3 hours to respond after a restart/shutdown. It would crash saying the search wasn’t initialised, I couldn’t type into the search. Fucking nightmare

I’ve fully switched to Firefox everywhere. The only thing I’m missing is a lightweight browser which is not based on chromium for my potato tablet. jQuarks viewer is a good one but can be dumb sometimes, it opens image instead of the link for eg.

If size is the concern then you are better off sticking to x265 encodes. Personally I don’t go above 1080p and use PSArips most of the time.

What’s up with monocles dev? They have a bunch of forked projects with their own name.

1. Monocles Launcher is based on KISS Launcher.

2. mail is based on K-9 Mail

I’ve donated to VLC multiple times in the past and have a subscription for wikipedia

Did you try rutracker?

I moved to Firefox on desktop years ago.

On mobile I use Firefox as default, Cromite if something does not work on Firefox, Kiwi Browser as backup.

Firefox and Kiwi Browser on mobile is a bit sluggish and slow on my phone.

Also, fun fact - one of the lemmy developers also developed torrents–csv

Yep, and if you are on mobile, Cloudstream is where it’s at.

Thanks, will check this out!

I used to use mobilism and would recommend it. Nowadays I just find foss alternatives

Our college had Ubuntu on every computer and I loved it!

Is this a different fork

I loaded the library but couldn’t see a toggle to turn it on.

What’s the fork? I’ve been using Florisboard beta (ehich is also opensource) and pretty happy with it. The only things I miss is swipe for dictionary words

I’ve been using this, https://movie-web.app/

It does not use torrents though

There is Mull

Yeah, I suggest checking their biocon rules for taking foods inside the country.

Hey, I am thinking of moving to Australia soon as well. I’ve been there once and the security doesn’t check any personal devices
