It did not. I think you and OP are feeling this based on anecdotal/singular experience. I can get any old movie I want and am able to download all the latest stuff very quickly using two private trackers. Been on one of them for over a decade and the other one is TL and I hardly ever use TL. 90/10 ratio.

I did block entire hexbear and specific communities on ml. I just meant subjects in general.

As long as your sick to non political or historical communities, they are tolerable. Any deviation from above and you might as well be on hexbear.

I use the same combo on my phone without any issues or ads. Why use a client on the phone?

This post is sadder than some of the warnings we get the world is about to end.

Where is this?

This comment will get down voted to absolute zero but: Samsung has amazing hardware and one of the worst software you could possibly put on a mobile device. Probably worst experience I've ever had using a mobile device. My experience was with S10.

Google has fantastic software and absolute shit hardware. Terrible battery life. Phone constantly lags and overheats from normal use. Terrible reception and non stop Bluetooth problems. Currently suffering with p7pro.

Oneplus was a fantastic company that created a phone that combined top of the line hardware with decent software at a very reasonable cost. Unfortunately now enshittification took over. Phones are overpriced, support is nonexistent and resale/trade in value is near zero. My experience was with Op8pro. Probably second best phone I've ever owned.

Other manufacturers like Sony, Asus, Nothing and Motorola are really a niche market now. They seem happy targeting a very narrow range of market. I've tried several phones from each brand, but never kept one longer than a week.

I'm sticking with pixel at the moment because software is so good it's actually able to make this steaming pile of shit hardware semi functional.

I used to work in the same industry. We transferred several PBs from West US to Australia using Aspera via thick AWS pipes. Awesome software.

You could also just stop using sites that don't work in Firefox. Also https://webcompat.com/

Really? Bunch of open source tools like Bitwarden and Firefox support passkey. Are you saying they all use and pay for licensed code?

Pipewire works well enough for sharing screen even though it isn't well supported by shit software like Slack. Would this replace it?

Oh you meant credit line, not credit? They will quickly shrink that if not used. All the credit cards I haven't used for a while reduced their credit lines wiltin a few years. Some by as much as 10x.
