When I said "lesser Android TV"--I meant a lesser Android BOX....

[-] wilberfan@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

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! πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ πŸ‘

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 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 πŸ˜‰ ) 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 β€œFailed 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! πŸ‘

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.

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).

Photo or it didn't happen. 😜

I enjoyed this 3-part interview with Cory about the subject: https://www.wnycstudios.org/podcasts/otm/projects/enshitification

"Enshitification" is my favorite new word of the year so far. I first encountered it just a few weeks ago from this 3-part interview with Cory on ON THE MEDIA. Little did I know that Reddit would be the very next popular platform to enshitify...
