    However, I would suggest that if you do decide to use this that you pick one or two of your favorite periodicals and either donate or subscribe to them. The Guardian and your local paper might be two good choices.

    Also, if you have uBlock, turning off javascript can sometimes defeat a paywall.

    So long, penny! Trump orders US to ditch 1-cent coin after decades of complaints

  • Lemmy ML got slow and gummy right after I posted this, should I delete, or am I just being paranoid? And at least three downvotes; should I not have asked?

    Whatever happened to Antifa?

    "Aborted scan due to an unexpected error"

  • Remember the good ol' days when much of labor (well, some of labor anyway) in the US was backed by the Mob? Might it be nice to have them backing up the revitalized unions of today, always ready to break some kneecaps when it's required of them? Unfortunately, I don't think they're anywhere near as powerful as they used to be. Too bad.

  • Hi Nate (@alphapuggle@programming.dev), I finally got myself switched over to Graphene, and unfortunately I wasn't able to install the extracted apk file, and was wondering how you managed to get it working.

    (Note that this is for Typewise Offline, which is a paid version of the regular free Typewise that has more features.)

    If I can't get it to work, I'll have no scruples pirating it since I already paid for it.

    Trump says Americans could feel ‘some pain’ from his new tariffs

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

  • 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.

  • Proton @lemmy.world

    Since Andy Yen's unfortunate comments, have any of you left Proton? And if so, what alternative did you choose?

  • 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.
