Have you heard anything about uBlock origin, Ghostery and similar programs?

Fish can be bloated, too.

… and Linux is not Unix. BSD and Solaris are, in my opinion, much better than any Linux. The problem is that BSD suffers from hardware incompatibility, and there are very few application programs for the current Solaris.

Hello buzzer. IRC ( Internet Relay Chat ) is an application layer protocol for real-time messaging. One of the oldest messengers.

Tech conservative, because I use FreeBSD, Surf browser, IRC…

A removable battery in the perfect surveillance device? There’s no such thing.

TempleOS is cool. You don’t need the Internet, it establishes a direct connection to the Seventh Heaven in the process.

Do you think this is the end of your “journey”?

I’ve gotten used to Slackware in 25 years.

I bet NSFW fans won’t notice anything.

I’m trying to figure out what kind of blackout you’re talking about. I open up (oh my God, I feel like a heretic) Reddit and guess what? Hardly anything has changed on Reddit. My feed is still there. Yes, a grand total of five ever-fronting subs stopped working, ten more subs took a formal vote, and… it’s still the same. Every social network goes the way of monetizing content. I first joined Reddit in 2015, at the time it was an incomprehensible pseudo-social network with an awkward interface. It took almost 18 years before Reddit became usable. But blackout is still a long way off. While kbin/lemmy is consolidated by the thought of blackout, but people can’t stay in suspense for long.

Uncomfortable. There are two or three users in the instances, and all are silent. “Federalization” is dumb, for the chuckleheads of decentralization. The app and website are crude. Settings are not saved, blocked content hangs in the feed.

What happens if you find someone like that? Temple OS has no Internet connection and is difficult to use. In fact, it is quite possible to use Haiku OS and even FreeDOS. You will just be using web versions of popular applications, that’s all. Even for DOS, there used to be a software package called Arachne browser. It is a static web browser, messenger, word processor and more.

If you’re not aware, social media has a user agreement. It is a contract imposed on the user. And Reddit (oddly enough) acts within that agreement. Right now, Lemmy is stapled with the idea of “Reddit is down”(no), and then what happens?

I have no objection.

I used Boost and Apollo a couple of years ago. The feed wouldn’t update and there were minor glitches. The only thing I liked was the ability to download videos, but it was glitchy too. Maybe they are better now.
