I don’t understand the down votes
=> I always read up and down votes as a tool to flag valuable posts. It feels like down vote on this one is about agreement with the news?

What I find annoying is for what you occasionally use.

For instance I started to listen more frequently to a songs service (which I was bypassing ads) and so I thought to officially subscribe. When I looked at prices I didn’t because it was too costly and knowing me I could stop anyday to use it. Price for one was above 10 when for two it was something like 14 so 7 per person and which I would have been ok to pay. Good for me because I stopped to listen some weeks after and it has beek years I didn’t really use it.

I think, especially for video and audio media consumption, you should pay a global amount and it should be split between services you used. Split should be based on usage.

On my work computer I don’t have admin rights but still I could install Firefox with no problems. It installed itself for local user only.

About that you can check this new extension : https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/chrome-mask/

Yet I feel it’s better to avoid using it and report web compatibility problems. Always masking user agent could led to believe only supporting chrome is sufficient.

What I do is using synching to sync my files on my PC when I am at home. You could also manually back it up on a cloud drive.

Anyway I think it’s best practice to store somewhere recovery codes.

Aegis is often recommended as an open source solution : https://github.com/beemdevelopment/Aegis

Hate those posts only containing link… Feeling like I am looking at a news aggregator with click bait…

For those feeling like me here a simple cut and paste :

Sam is a very small Text-To-Speech (TTS) program written in Javascript, that runs on most popular platforms. It is an adaption to Javascript of the speech software SAM (Software Automatic Mouth) for the Commodore C64 published in the year 1982 by Don’t Ask Software (now SoftVoice, Inc.). It includes a Text-To-Phoneme converter called reciter and a Phoneme-To-Speech routine for the final output.

Would be nice if Lemmy was alerting poster that he shared a link already presents in other posts.

Compared to clicking a button I would say a lot faster as you don’t have to move your mouse to start initiating your gestures. It’s maybe more marginal compared to a short key. Still your hand is already on the mouse ready to execute a gesture. Personally I find it really convenient and for me it’s the second most useful add-on after ublock. When using a browser on other computers that don’t have these I find it really tedious and I am shocked at how much ad there is.

Surprised nobody already suggested some kind of mouse gestures extension. I use foxy gestures and once you learn a few gestures (starting with closing a tab and undoing it) it becomes hard to live without it! Gesturefy is also a popular alternative.

TorrentFreak is only a blog about news related to piracy. Either it’s evolution or fight against it.

As far as I know they don’t operate anything enabling you to pirate things !?! I don’t understand where you got that idea? Or it’s not something I knew and it isn’t apparent on their website.

I quote from the about section :

“TorrentFreak is a publication dedicated to bringing the latest news about copyright, privacy, and everything related to filesharing. We are not a news aggregator but focus on unique and fresh stories. TorrentFreak is where news and copyright issues collide.”
