Me too bud, I was looking forward to Jordan's masterpiece getting an adaptation to the small screen but I couldn't even make it through one episode. It's like the showrunner took The Witcher's terrible adaptation as a personal challenge to fuck over the source material in the most fuck you way possible and went at it with both boots.

Maybe take out a new domain name? New-pipe.net perhaps.

Try Vivaldi browser, it's old school Opera with a Chrome dress on. So you get the benefits of Chrome with the focus on privacy and innovation of old school Opera.

(Replied to the wrong comment but you get the gist.)

I'm no "normie" but Linux is so damned ass backwards my brain just can't cope, some of the times I was unsure if I was asking the OS to change directory or summon Moloch to bring a thousand years of darkness to the world.

I'm pretty sure it alreacy has it, check the settings. (Just checked it's in Settings->[Username] Settings->Show Read Posts)

Mark read on scroll though is the setting I'm waiting for but will probably have to wait for Boost that will no doubt have all those kind of more advanced settings like it did for reddit.

I'm thinking I may have to. I've been watching some videos with the I Am Legion mod, which really improved the longevity of the first one for me, and it looks amazing.

Eeeeh, I could but Techland has long been one of my favorite little studios so pirating one of their games just doesn't feel right to me.

Also piratebay hasn't been relevant in years and is most likely chock full of all kinds of nasty malware now, try 1337x instead. They're probably the best of the lot now rarbg is no longer with us.

Dying Light, absolutely fantastic pakour zombie smasher with one of the best cities in gaming. Bought it originally (on a disc) many years ago and played it so much the disc died and I was inconsolable until Epic gave away the ultimate edition and I was finally able to play The Following DLC.

Now I go and look at Dying Light 2 on Steam and wish my stupid country wasn't so damn expensive, even on sale at 50% off it still costs almost as much as a brand new AAA game in the states. Regional pricing my ass, we always get stung so hard for tech down here.

You would think that, but the big banks made out like absolutely crazy from the derivatives and then got to seize a whole swathe of land they then sold on for even more money or kept for themselves and used to artificially inflate the rental markets while at the same time curb stomping their competition thus giving them a much larger piece of the pie after everything shook out.

The real own goal here is the poor saps who thought they were getting a cheap mortgage until the interest rates started going up and up.

Before jumping ship from Chrome completely try Vivaldi, it's built on the Chrome engine (so you can continue using your extensions and what nots) but it's made by one of the guys that created Opera but jumped ship before it got sold off to big money.

So like old Opera there's a huge emphasis on not only pushing what a browser can do (Opera pioneered speed dial for instance and tabs too iirc) but privacy and security as well.

I've been using it for a while now with Firefox really not being able to scratch the itch left by Opera and I'm really impressed with just how good it is for being built on Chrome.
