Just out of curiosity, how come Firefox isn't one of the officially supported browsers for web installation?

EDIT: Thanks! 👍

Done! Thanks to @pipes@sh.itjust.works and @eruchitanda@lemmy.world 🙂

Welcome one, welcome all 👍

Which is why I left the Democratic party and became an independent (we have open primaries here so it's ok).

Hey Dems, don't try to resist or anything!

I've got Keepass for password manager and Mullvad for VPN, and both have worked out really well for me so far. What I haven't been able to find is a good alternative to Proton Drive. For aliases I use Firefox Relay.

You know what would be really great? If Thunderbird actually had its own email service (@thunderbird.net) and not just a client. When they were switching K9 Mail over to Thunderbird mobile, it seemed like there might have been the slightest hint on their blog that they were at least considering it (or maybe I dreamed it). Might be a good source of income for Mozilla too...🤔

Supposedly rclone can work with Proton Drive, but for me at least, it seemed way too complicated to set up.

As a Linux person, I, too, am somewhat tired of being treated like a second-class user. Having no Linux client for Drive is a real pain.

Mullvad VPN has worked well for me.

Beatport, HDtracks, & Juno Download all look promising—they even have my relatively obscure 90s music!—thanks! 👍

Of the two that you've had dealings with, do they let you download all the album tracks at once, or do they force you to download them one by one, or else, even worse, to use some special proprietary downloader thingy?

EDIT: The other thing I didn't like about 7digital was when they switched from their old payment system to PayPal; with all the various browser tweaks on FF I had in place, bouncing between the two sites to pay and then claim my purchase would frequently cause problems.

I think this might be because they're worried that if Rubio doesn't get it that Trump will nominate someone even worse.

I sometimes wonder if we're in the wrong timeline like on that episode of NextGen where Tasha Yar was never killed, they encounter the Enterprise-C, and Guinan tells Picard "it's not supposed to be like this, there should be children on this ship," or words to that effect.

However, people probably felt that way too when JFK was shot; from where I'm standing, the real fracture in the timeline occurred on 9/11, and things have only gotten more batshit crazy and fractured as time goes by.

Putin's (very) useful idiot is now in the process of completing his work destroying the US federal government. Hope state governments can pick up the slack, because they'll have to.

EDIT: And, surprise! Red states are more dependent on federal funding than blue states are.

Should Jeff decide to close this particular store, I would urge everyone out of a job to follow the lead of Chris Smalls and go into labor organizing full time.

🙁 Crap, didn't see that part.

EDIT: Also, another thing I hate about most sites that sell ebooks is that they're rarely explicit about what their file formats are.

Hey, how did you get hold of my passphrase?! 😵
