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.

It is life changing really. I don't recall ever paying for digital content. I still go to the theatres for an exceptional movie but that's it. It has made me learn more about computers, be a bit savvy in tech. I can't count how many times that has helped me get through my job. It really is an important life skill

I am using this, best decision I've ever taken. Using my device feels new again. There is still the issue with play integrity. Apart from that everything's good so far.

RARBG like 4K rips, any group making similar sized movies? in c/piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com

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.

I flashed Lineage OS and it is what I imagine Android should be. Too bad custom ROM scene is slowly dying because of Google.

The lag is why I haven't switched to it. I'm used to KISS Launcher "Blazingly fast launcher focused on search" and it is 100% true to it's tagline.

Sadly this doesn't include my profession (Industrial Automation). Do you know of other alternatives?
