$170 AUD for a lifetime “ultra” license.

I’m waiting for one with an OLED screen and good battery life. New models are coming out all the time and I’m excited to see what’s available in a year or two.

Blokada was a massive system hog when I used it. Switched to using NextDNS and it’s so much better. Not sure if it would remove ads from Spotify though.

Hey yo I also type 50/50 in Japanese and English and came here wondering if there were any Gboard alternatives out there yet.

Unsatisfactory for what? The only things I can’t find on RD are occasional really old or foreign films/shows. Even then there’s usually at least a 480p version if I’m really desperate. I have considered switching to Usenet before but it seemed super complicated.

if I say I’m not interested In something they take no notice and send it to my recommendations again regardless.

omg yes fuck this. I constantly get fed entire categories of videos on games which I actively hate; I have never watched a single video for any of them and have said “not interested” to probably 50+ videos, but they still pop up every day.

Totally this for me and I’m someone who understands how bad Google is. I’ve been using the same Gmail account for twenty years. It’s such an integral part of my everyday life. I have hundreds of stars on maps, a meticulously organised and synced Drive, all my YouTube favourites and subscriptions, Photos that are all mostly geotagged, etc. Degoogling would just be such a major hassle, and all my stuff would never be as nicely integrated ever again.

I’ll check it out. Kodi definitely does take some nerdy configuration. BTW Fen is much faster than Seren, give it a try.

With the Fen add-on linked with Trakt.

I use Kodi with a subscription to Real Debrid. Are these options better?
