As online spaces start to demand I dox myself, I will remove myself from those online spaces (see: Reddit). If that means I ultimately leave the internet as a whole, then so be it.

Lemmy didn’t try to force me to dox myself for “age verification”.

My HTC ChaCha had a full qwerty keyboard. Now I’m lucky if the on-screen one bothers to show up in some apps.

Yes, I’m holding off on starting over until that comes out, too. :)

I know that some distros package Firefox extensions. Debian is one, here’s one example: https://packages.debian.org/bullseye/webext-ublock-origin-firefox. So you could sudo apt install webext-ublock-origin-firefox

I got back into Shapez 2 recently and getting the factory flowing has been really fun. I like that you don’t have to try and figure out how to cram everything into a tiny space, you can take as much room as you like to make well-designed factories.

(I have absolutely no idea how to even start to build a Make Anything Machine though)

Moreso!

One other thing to try: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/video-downloadhelper (presumably also available for other browsers). Then hold shift while you reload the page, and play the media. Chances are extremely good the addon will catch it and start dancing in your toolbar. Open the addon, click the file you want to download, and it should just download.
