How many times can you lose a child before it stops being accidental? It's a department store not Disney Land.

So far the best alternative that I've seen was Squabbles.io A lot of communities seem to be moving towards Discord. It has announcements, posts, chat, etc.

I fund Squabbles.io to be EXTREMELY promising. I have no stake in it. I just really dig the simplicity, format, layout, etc.
95% lift by CodeWeavers, but Apple is the one to thank. Lmao.

A no-log vpn that refuses to publish their no-log audit and got caught lying about encrypting traffic after a seizure of servers in Ukraine.

Yes, I will trust you with my traffic and money /s

As mentioned in the post, you can still get the app from F-droid or off of their website as an apk.

This move however reinforces the clear importance of having an OS that allows apps to be installed from outside of the 1st party App Store.

Just contacted their customer support, they've been trying to contact Google about it. This happened last night.
I'm surprised there are more Apple TV users than Apple watch users. It always felt like a fairly niched device.

On a somewhat unrelated side-note, as a hardcore Plex user for the last 5-6 years, Apple TV has been an amazing Plex client. Second only to a Nvidia Shield Pro downgraded to 8.2.3 firmware.

Honestly with the quality of their TV boxes, screens and the "ecosystem", I'm kind of surprised they didn't dive into the TV business.

It's a wonder they survived for so long considering how many good alternatives there are and how many issues they've had with security.

So, like LibreWolf, Waterfox, etc. ?

There's a ton of those already.
