I don't know, I wasn't expecting some kind of Spanish Inquisition.

Yup, DVD players suffered from the bad caps a lot back then as well, it was always one or two specific electrolytics in the power supply.

I had not heard of Jackett and to be honest haven't really looked into aggregators. Will look into it, thank you.

1337x.to has good torrents/magnets in my experience, but def. use ad blocking. On mobile clicking almost anything tries to redirect or pop something up.

Sadly, can corroborate. He was a jerk to my future wife at a book-signing 'cuz she didn't plonk a freshly-purchased copy of the new book he was reading from to get signed, but another one, after she gushed about how much his environmentalism and views had influenced her. I mean, yeah an author does readings and book signings to sell books, but a fan has still taken time to travel, sit and listen, and maybe will buy after the event.

I got an audio version of this poll yesterday. 'Press 2 for LIB, 3 for NDP, ..." stuff like that. Didn't ask for any personal info.

Well I would seriously consider paying money to a team that keeps it there, if Chromium actually removes the code. I hope others will consider it as well. We need to fight this, even if it means paying some money to a foundation to do so.

There's the futile hope I suppose that antitrust cases going on against Alphabet might force Google to divest Chrome from its advertising arm, so that there's no pressure to make this whole thing worse. Hah, in my dreams.

I really hope some team has been following the changes in Chrome/Chromium by Google to remove Manifest v2, and has been keeping a patchset that will undo the damage? Time to make a hard fork and get some funding to try to keep it going?
