Yes, it’s a shame you have to deal with that. For in the future, back when I had to deal with unrooted devices, I used Adguard DNS to block ads, which is really easy (and free) to set up: https://techviral.net/use-adguard-dns-on-android/

I can really recommend it 👌

Oh… Well, I’m sure you know better than the creators of the add-on, so I’ll uninstall it now. Thank you.

I just checked, but there aren’t any ads on the website. I checked with the creator of the app, too, as I was just talking with him, and he confirms that there aren’t any ads on it. So I don’t know what to tell you 🤔😅

Oh, but he did tell me that there’s ads on the mobile version of the app, and that he doesn’t have control of its contents. I don’t see any ads, I rooted my devices 😇

You still see ads on websites? 😳 Switch to a Firefox-based browser and get an adblocker, my friend. I like AdNauseam.

I mean we’ve all done a rowboat, at this point.

Oh, wow! A post by @ordnance_qf_17_pounder@reddthat.com! Those are always pure gold.

The Americans are getting hostile… And I can’t blame 'em.

What’s the blue extension?

But… There’s a difference between instances and platforms. These are platforms.

I mean, your point is still valid, these platforms might not really be interested in gathering more users, but it’s not a matter of having a small server you want to keep to yourself. People could host these platforms on their own server, after all.

Now there’s a term!

I have! But… Well, call me newfangled, but I couldn’t really get used to not being able to use the mouse to drag and drop stuff to other programs.

I like using the keyboard, but I do use it in combination with the mouse, not exclusively. I don’t have the memory for keyboard shortcuts, for one… Especially for stuff I don’t do on the regular.

Oh, that’s weird, I haven’t experienced that. Have you tried again, recently? There’s also qt and gtk versions, maybe one of those works better.

Yeah, still a shame that never got ported to Linux. There’s Double Commander, which is fine, but still a little inferior somehow.

I mean—it’s a good step in the direction of an actually usable Linux phone. And that would be great, being able to get a mobile OS outside of Google / Apple’s influence.

This is the right take.

Yes, a bit of Reichstag fire vibes, huh? Here’s hoping it won’t be quite that bad, but it could happen…

Poor thing oughta be put down

Not sure if this is the type of reaction post appropriate here.

Oh wow that sounds very convenient! I’ll look into that… one day. Maybe. But I’d like to!
