Well, speak for yourself. I don’t have a running phone contract because I don’t really use my phone much for calling or stick to open WiFi when I need to be online. Just got top-up mobile data for the times when there is no WiFi.

I definitely do want WiFi when travelling.

She is now

It still does all of that though? The only thing that stopped working was that you use the standard app shortcut to start it in private mode. And for that you can make a separate shortcut.

It still works if you follow a link from another app that it opens that in private mode. It still works that the browser closes tabs automatically after a set time and that it clears history fully upon quiting.

I am not sure what you are now missing.

What’s that supposed to mean? All of Lemmy servers are open to the public. Anyone can read all the messages even without any accounts? The decentralised parts mainly prohibit shutting down the whole network easily, taking out one server wouldn’t do much to the rest.

The open links in private tab works fine still. However what OP means, and I can confirm that, you were able to setup Fennec to always start in private mode when you open it, without making a specific shortcut for it.

I just checked in Ironfox and there it still works like that. I could however not find a specific setting that does this.

So this makes me think, OP, what you and I were using was maybe never intended to work as expected but potentially a bug that got fixed. You can still open links automatically in private mode and you can add the extra shortcut for when you manually start the browser.

You don’t use the internet on a laptop?

If there’s a German code that would work as you intended (if I got you right) but it doesn’t for you, since you don’t live in Germany, would it work to make the machine believe it is located in Germany?

They might have hardcoded a location into it, then you are out of luck. But maybe they determine it via the internet connection you use to update? So you could potentially have it connected to a VPN through your router, which fakes a German location? Probably too simple a solution.

Congrats, dumbest take you could have on this.

No. Carbon offsetting is a scam and does not do shit for the environment.

Valid question. But this article is a physical book in your own hands. I am not saying this is safe or anything but has nothing to do with Amazon besides that they sell it.

If that is stated somewhere openly before signing up, I honestly see nothing wrong with it. I wouldn’t sign up there, but if there are any tangible rules associated with what is banned and what is not, and you can check those, fine.

If its erratic banning and random rules not written down, then eh, bad stuff.

That’s hilarious. Allows you to burn it. Doesn’t allow you to just directly download it.
