I haven't had a website not work with Firefox for a long time.

Me too...mostly? But the cases I've seen or encountered are always government, financial, education, or medical websites with some super-bespoke "portal" that will simply act bizarre on Firefox.

It really sucks that it seems so common to just glance at some "market-share" data and, not just assume everybody must use Chrome, but go so far as to force them to.

I'm sure I have a bunch but two I haven't seen here:

OrdinaryThings - has shifted to MUCH longer form current-events / documentarian content. Humorous and pundit-y but also informative about world news I likely missed. His yearly "The ___ Business of 20__" videos are great recaps.

Harke - Found this channel basically by accident and fell in love with it. Admittedly pretty niche about a VERY specific kind of retro, but it's stuff I grew up with so I'm all about it. Retro adventure games and music and that kind of thing. Super underrated!

This sounds like the premise behind an absolutely delightful 2008 film featuring Jim Carrey and Zooey Deschanel.

I'm a bit biased as I started with Jellyfin, but the Roku Jellyfin app works flawlessly on the family TV.

I'd advise at least becoming mildly familiar with how you'd go about it, since corpos suddenly rug-pulling existing users and forcing subscriptions is pretty common, basically expected, behavior of American business now.

That way you have an "out" and your service can have minimal downtime. :)

On the other hand, you might just find you like how sleek and functional Jellyfin is. I can only see wins for you here. :p

I really miss the early mobile games days, when they were still experimenting with the format and you had games like Angry Birds, Infinity Blade, Peggle, and various Marble Madness or Monkey Ball clones, just for starters.

People were making games designed to be fun, and if they were addictive, it was because you were enjoying yourself. If you bought the game they didn't care how addicted you got or not, only that you didn't tell all your friends it sucked! Lol

Once it started taking notes from the casino industry, that was it. I don't even open the Play Store anymore.

Just now had a thought: If places like Newgrounds or ArmorGames were pay to play for developers like the mainline mobile stores are, I bet we would have seen a lot more of that nonsense a lot sooner. (kongregate seems to serve a perfect example of this.)

"Trah a summersault!!"

(Crashes)

"... You're becoming more like your father."

But indeed, planes aren't supposed to do barrel roll on the runaway.

I tried to barrel roll a commercial plane in a flight sim once...I concluded I don't think they're supposed to do it in the air either. 😂

Ooof. That's heartbreaking, I'm so sorry. :(

Sincerely, thank you for specifying the State religion of evangelical "Supply Side Jesus" as its own evil cult, and not alienating the rest of us who stand with you. I always appreciate that nuance in this kind of discourse.

There's a lot of Christians here, myself included, horrified by every second of this, watching people calling themselves "christians" give themselves over willingly to corruption and sheer evil and unfiltered hatred at an alarming rate.

Of course we're silenced on many fronts: Most of the money for churches comes from powerful americultist organizations and donors, who are obviously in the angry orange baby Hitler's pocket, and they're seeding such hateful polarization that even leftists are turning on us and discounting us outright.

We're not as loud, well-funded, or numerous as the cult of hatred and warmongering and greed. But we know that the Jesus of the Gospel who commanded us to "Love thy neighbor as thyself" is not the Jesus of the State, and to throw one's lot in with these politicians is to deliberately side with the legions of Hell.

I am heartbroken and ashamed at how many people I once thought good and decent, who have fallen for this lie and follow such a disgraceful monster.

This is definitely our punishment for elevating sociopathy to celebrity, rather than chasing it out into the dark woods with pointy sticks.
