Their decision to block port forwarding was unfortunate, but understandable. I've been using it for the past year and when I first started, I rarely ran into any issues with being blacklisted. Now it's a nearly daily occurrence. I don't know how true it is, but Mullvad claimed that much of the activity leading to blocked IPs came from activity related to port forwarding. If that's true, then I'd say the decision is good. Like others have said, torrenting is still possible without port forwarding, but it's also true that rarer content and private trackers become difficult. Ultimately there was no perfect solution here.

This will be good news only when we start hearing about reforestation rates exceeding deforestation. Till then it's just various levels of bad.

I can't seem to figure out how to get infinity for everything downloaded. Any advice? I used infinity for reddit and would love to use it for lemmy!

That's great news! One upside of Covid is that it increased funding toward vaccine development strategies. Hopefully we'll get even more effective vaccines for other hard to treat diseases.

USB-c to headphone jack converters are an option. Not ideal because you can't use it and charge the phone simultaneously, but certainly better than those wireless buds.

What explains these forming? Similar hypotheses as for the formation of Devils tower in Wyoming?
