  • Chromium

  • So can someone confirm if 'they' ever got Chromecast access functional in Firefox yet? Last time I looked into it and tested it out the plugin or fx_bridge or whatever it was called was years ago and it never managed to work, which is the sole reason why I haven't switched to Firefox.

  • With the decline of twitter and reddit, it's time to take a look at RSS again if you haven't already.

  • Same. I was using Google Reader since it launched, and I migrated to Feedly when Reader went tits-up and they offered migration help. For 18 years now I've had a few dozen news websites set up for just about every interest I have and I have seen nothing come across Reddit in the last 12 years that I've been using it that I didn't also see on Feedly within an hour of it's Reddit posting.

  • Reddit CEO warns employees not to wear Reddit swag in public as users revolt

  • Not just avatars, NFT avatars!

  • Do you find piracy more fun than consuming the pirated content?

  • Right there with ya. I'm a data hoarder first and foremost. I have two goals when it comes to piracy:

    A) If I have ever watched, read, listened, played, or otherwise enjoyed a piece of media, I will have it available at all times.

    B) Do what I can to preserve said data so 40 years from now when I'm telling kids about some generic super hero comic, or SNES game, or obscure TV miniseries, I can pull that shit up in seconds instead of being the old senile man telling stories.

    I got 30TB of space, I got almost every movie, TV show, stand up special, album, video game, comic book, novel, and essential software that I want (and adding more daily), and it's all served up to whatever friend wants it via Plex or whatever-other-means-I-need-depending-on-the-media.

    Meanwhile I'm on my 35th watch through of Archer lol

  • Least with a 4chan secret santa I'd know there's an 80% chance of my gift being poop and cum.

  • Brief login as other user?

  • I've noticed this happening to me too! Wasn't sure if it was a real user or not or some BTS rng name or glitch or something, but one time it happened yesterday I noted the name and sure enough it was another user's account lol

  • Saints Row owner Embracer announces "comprehensive restructuring program" to close studios, cut jobs

  • TechCrunch: "Reddit CEO doubles down on attack on Apollo developer in drama-filled AMA"

  • One of the biggest shitshow AMA's I've ever witnessed.

  • Any other metal heads make it here yet?

  • First one to start the 'nu metal isn't metal' brigade gets my nu foot up their ass lol.

  • What are you watching this weekend?

  • Feels like an Event Horizon or Evil Dead (2013) kinda day so far.

  • Reddit is claiming that Christian Selig (the Apollo dev) attempted to blackmail them

  • Apollo for Reddit is shutting down

  • I thankfully spend a good 90% of my Redditing on Desktop (old.reddit.com 4lyfe), but losing Boost on my phone hurts. Just spent the last hour hitting up all my most frequent subs and looking for all their discords or any alternate *anythings *they've set up regardless lol
