Yeah no, I have seen multiple businesses closing down due to poor marketing promotion/budget.

And then we all complain that we didn’t know about a certain product/service because they didn’t market it good enough (we have seen it a lot of times with movies for example, then they turn into obscure classics with the pass of time, but not really profitable), also some games that didn’t really made themselves known while in critical selling weeks?

Who is gonna be the brave soul to release a game when GTA VI appears? That would be marketing suicide, no matter how good your game is.

Zerotier does not use wireguard and even in Android I can see a slightly bigger drain while using a VPN app, as it is using resources in the background after all (you can easily see that with adb or a rooted device), if you are not a battery freak then that’s fine I guess, I live in a 3rd world country where I can seed torrents 24/7 and ISP will never care, and VPN are a hassle to me at best, I only use them when I needed, AKA when I want to bypass CGNAT and access my Synology NAS/Plex server.

I heavily debloated my Nvidia Shield TV and whenever I activate Proton VPN I can see it takes its resources which might affect my also heavily customized Kodi setup lol, that’s why I don’t like to run VPNs there either.

Yes, Pi-hole helps, it is not as good as an inbuilt adblocker or a more capable one like Ublock Origin, but it is better than nothing :)

Do you have an iOS device? I remember mentioning battery drain issues with either Zerotier or Tailscale due to poor background process management with iOS.

Yes, I don’t think anyone thinks otherwise, but built in adblockers are better than DNS adblockers, which consecutively are better than nothing lol (also you could pair both I guess and get an improved experience).

You got downvoted but it is true, it doesn’t while other browsers do, and block ads which is a nice plus.

Firefox offers extension support and that is a reason to forgive it a lot of lacks… But we shouldn’t be conformist about the fact that the Android/iOS client needs a lot of work.

Perhaps if you tell us which DNS you are using.

I have tried it and while it works, DNS adblocking (and the hassle to remember to turn on the VPN for browsing) doesn’t works as good nor is as smooth as using a browser with AdBlock support, or Ublock Origin extension.

Apple does not allow other browsers than Safari on iOS. All other browsers are just reskins of Safari.

And yet only Brave blocks ads effortlessly…

Of course it is an Apple issue in the core, but unless Firefox includes a proper ad blocking frautre (no add-ons needed because that’s unlikely to happen in iOS) is also a Firefox issue, and I I’d say the main reason why it loses market when competing against Brave in such a closed environment.

I choose Brave instead of Vivaldi in Android as a second browser just because of 1 feature:

Vivaldi won’t force dark mode in all the websites WHEN the device is in dark mode only, it includes a toggle to on or off only and it doesn’t care if the device is light or dark.

I use automatic light/dark mode and Brave and Firefox (with the Dark Reader extension) works well with this.

Also the Vivaldi team is aware of this lacking feature since years ago but they can’t seem to fix it somehow… That’s fine by me, I can work my way without it.

Because it is still Chromium based and it means it is fast on Android, plus it comes packed with an adblocker by default which works wonders in closed out systems like iOS, also as many browsers (not all of them) it supports account syncing which it is always a nice plus (I can use a good working version of Brave in all the systems and keep a good flow for example).

I main Firefox in pretty much all the systems, but the Android app is missing a lot of features like tab management, and the iOS client just sucks (Brave works better there despite being Safari based too).

It is funny because it is true.

After finishing Nier Automata in my Switch (quite an awesome port tbh, I cheated a bit as I overclocked my unit to make it run smoother) and Breath of The Wild I am focusing on smaller games, which are:

• Monument Valley (Android)
• Retro City Rampage (PS Vita)
• Pokémon Omega Ruby (almost finished, 3DS).

I think the iPhone 5s would be the one that fits the question IMO.

Maybe I am a bit biased as I want to get a OnePlus Nord 4 (although I will better wait for the 5th) but I really like its design, and the design is like the last thing I care about a phone 😅 (I always end up setting a cheap screen protector and a cheap case).

Ahh, classic style.

Damn, since I saw the warning thread I was hurrying my slow ass to back up my stuff, which I gladly did (some days ago), lemmy.zip is my new home now.

I feel sorry for the users that didn’t get the chance to backup their stuff… An auto backup feature for Lemmy backend might be worth checking out perhaps?

Grasses are angiosperms and rely on bugs to reproduce

Even mosquitoes? Please tell me we can live without them.

Not sure if this fits (because it had its moment and its assets are likely popular) but Jump Ultimate Stars for sure.

It is basically the dream of any Otaku materialized and sadly Shounen Jump hasn’t been able to top it yet, the more time it passes the more time I appreciate it 😁

For example I have played with Gon and Killua characters since 2009… But just until now I got to see the 2011 Hunter x Hunter adaptation and oh boy, knowing the characters just improve the experience!

Customize Android root stuff, watch anime, play videogames, that has been my life as of lately.

Really? how so?

Honest question.
