No Avoiding Time: an essay on Inherent Vice
We open on a lost paradise. Taking a cue from the ‘68-er parole “Under the paving-stones, the beach!” - which opens Pynchon’s book and that arrives in the film at the very end, after the credits - the first shot of Inherent Vice suggest an alternate vision: “Between the hous
When I said "lesser Android TV"--I meant a lesser Android BOX....
Now that's a solid suggestion!! I've had NewPipe on my phone forever--it never occurred to me that it might work on my Shield Pro! 🤦♂️ 👍
If I invested in a lesser Android TV for the bedroom (there's a Roku in there) and cancelled the subscription--it would pay for itself (eventually)?
It does seem an odd decision on their part. There must be some factor(s) that made them go that way?

I've just spent another 45 minutes trying to install add-ons via Fennec ONLY. It just doesn't work. I only have access to "approved" extensions.
However, when I go to my custom collection in a desktop browser I have full access to firefox addons (as you described we would)--but I have to first search and add them to the collection from the desktop browser.
When that's completed, THEN I can go to Fennec and navigate to the collection and tap the "+" sign to install them into Fennec.

It wasn't at ALL clear to me that this entire process takes place in two DIFFERENT Firefoxes: one on a desktop or laptop install and THEN on your android device!! Maybe I read thru the instructions too fast (real men don't read instructions 😉 ) but they all seem to say "...open Firefox..." without being clear WHICH Firefox they're referring to.
I've now spent close to 3 hours trying to get 3 extensions to work/load properly into Fennec on the Android... Back to Kiwi! "It just works..." 😡
when I open Firefox and click on Add-ons, there were no add-ons and there was an error that “Failed to query Add-ons”edit: added both collection id and the collection name as it appears on the URL. it is working now.
I'm getting this same error. Added the collection ID and the name where?
there are also a number of Firefox based browsers that have full extension support
I'd love some examples!
I've been trying to follow your guide for an hour now--but I'm not getting access to any add-ons but the "compatible" ones. For example, when I search for 'Cookiebro', the only two choices it shows me are Ghostery and uBlock Origin.
Thanks for your desktop addon guide. If there's a way to manually install .xpis from, say, github, I'm in! 👍

Whenever you're driving on Chandler Blvd and the light is green for you when you get to Buena Vista or Hollywood Way. 😏
Yeah, none of this is on the NY Times website, for example. Not that that's the final word--but I'd be more inclined to believe them than whoever The Enforcer is...

Hey, nice to see you here in the Fediverse! 👍

The film BOOGIE NIGHTS.
Stepping away is sort of my plan at the moment.
I'm the solo mod of an 11K subscriber sub who posted most of the content. I took the sub private for the first 48 hours of the protest, then polled everyone to see if they wanted to keep going.
Only a third were in favor. The other two-thirds were "No" or "I don't understand and/or don't care".
I posted links to equivalent places in lemmy/kbin/discord to see if there would be any kind of migration to follow me here.
So far I have exactly one follower on lemmy, and 5 new members on discord (none of whom have interacted at all).
For now, I'm going to continue to monitor my reddit sub (to keep things in order) but will only be posting things in the fediverse. I just cant', in good conscience, keep contributing to "my" sub in the current environment. It makes me sad, to be honest; I felt a certain amount of pride in what I (we) accomplished over there.
We'll see what happens going forward.
Just registered on Lemm.ee--and can't log in. Just get a spinner. I'll try again in a few hours.
Yeah, "our" sub had almost 11K subscribers--not huge by Reddit standards--but I got the sense it was arguably the place on the web to stay up-to-date and informed on our topic. An author of a recent book used our sub for research (among other sources, of course).
