Try Firefox or Mull on android with uBlock origin set to medium mode. Most of the popups and paywalls never show for me.

Do keep in mind this can break some sites and need you to change settings for those sites.

At this point I’m pretty sure it’s bots all the way down. And whatever isn’t a bot is someone pretending to be someone else or some other BS.

It exists, but I’m pretty sure it’s not the media player you remember so fondly.

These days, I’m just using Audacious with the default Winamp skin from the Winamp Skin Museum. It scratches the itch well enough.

That sucks. But I think this is specifically about their open source licensing.

Thanks for that. Looks like I’ll be keeping an eye out for replacements just in case.

Got any links to the bitwarden drama? I missed it.

Been doing this recently too. I’ve just got the default Winamp skin, but it’s so nice to have that part of my childhood back.

Miru that uses torrents vs. the other Miru.

Thought I’d add this for anyone curious. Been using the Miru with torrents and loving it. It’s even better if you use it with an AniList account to keep track of what you’re watching.

This seems to be the reply on another thread from the person running the site.

Sakurajima has a Mastodon and a Sharkey instance. Both very much aimed at Japanese culture and related stuff. This should hit your anime requirement at least.

I’m pretty sure Adguard is more than just a browser extension. They have an app for many different OSs, which I think makes setting up their DNS ad blocking on your devices easier and simpler. There’s also Adguard Home, which is similar to pi-hole, if you want to self host a DNS ad blocker.

They also offer a VPN.

So you aren’t paying just for a browser extension necessarily.

Glad to hear it.

This is where I got my repos for Mihon and its forks. The link has repos for anime and manga.

I’ve been using Startpage for a few years. Uses Google and Bing as sources I think, but it’s been usable for my simple use cases.

Thicc ass-wagon.

I’d honestly be curious to see how that plays out. Every creator hosts their own content while strengthening and spreading the Peertube network.

I feel like that would quickly solidify it as a viable alternative.

Yeah, I have no experience with that side of the series except that it’s less arcade-y than Horizon.

This is a fair point, but these companies have enough money that they could set aside a small team that just tries new things. Whether the games succeed or fail shouldn’t matter. It should be a testing ground for finding new things to base a new IP around or just add to existing series or something.

The team should be allowed to take their time and just make something they’re passionate about and players should be able to get involved. Feedback should be taken seriously and used to improve what the team puts out.

I know this is an absolute pipe dream, but I wish companies would do this for the sake of keeping the business moving forward if not for the players.

I was thinking something similar, but AMD being a company, this is likely just cheaper and easier.

I’m guessing a sticker is easier and cheaper than printing a special box.
