Other than YouTube, which purposefully slows Firefox down, I only ever encountered one webpage in years where the issue was 100% “caused” by my browser choice – the left pane (lesson list) in my school’s tutoring platform would not scroll due to what I assume was a trivial HTML oversight. After reporting the issue, they insisted that they would not support browsers other than ones based on Chromium and Safari and tried to convince me to switch. I don't have access to the site anymore and I did not understand web development at all back then so I could not create a patch myself; I just worked around the issue using a very tall, zoomed-out “mobile view” to reach the off-screen buttons.

Pretty lame compared to the sex tent

If you're reading this and not using Firefox, do yourself a favor and don't wait until 2024 to switch.

TL;DR: Pick L or M error correction depending on expected conditions. It is recommended to increase the error correction level unless it results in the QR code resolution (aka version) increasing. Many generators have this option. If you own the destination domain, use a short URL that is descriptive and contains/redirects to the page/resource in question, such as http://zooberlin.de/map?qrhttps://www.zooberlin.de/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/karte_mobile.pdf?utm_campaign=poster (fictional example).

The resolution is OK. Use zoom, most browsers have one

It shows. The selection is not very good.

Europeans speak 1.5~2.5 languages each

US Americans seem like 0.8 with phrases like could care less or your a dick.

Ahoj,

uloz.to + FreeRapid Downloader. The baseline speed of around 1.2 GB/h is enough for 720p and some 1080p movies which FreeRapid Downloader allows me to "stream" if I enable opening unfinished files. I can get a film running on my Linux HTPC (old laptop) <3 minutes after my family agrees on one (the hardest part). Our TV is rather small and 768p so resolution is not a concern but I sit close and like to enjoy at least 576p DVD quality.

I have qBittorrent installed but I am in no private trackers (yet). I would especially welcome one that has German dubs because original & Czech ones are easy.

Join us at czech-lemmy.eu!

 

Status: 🟢 AVAILABLE

Ahoy, fellow lemmings!

I was gifted a SkyShowtime voucher for an electronics purchase but piracy is somewhat legal and easy in the Czech Republic, so I won't use it.

You'll most likely have to VPN into the Czech Republic to use the voucher but the (limited!) range of shows will be also available in English, Spanish, Polish or Hungarian. IDK if the UI language can be set. A dollar will also be blocked from your credit card but will be returned when you cancel the subscruption.

To claim the voucher, DM me your e-mail and "My Czech VPN is ready. I promise not to watch Deer Squad" so that I can make sure that you will be able to use it. The first person will be sent an e-mail with the code and instructions on how to redeem it. I will provide support if you encounter any issues.

Note that the selection of shows is limited and most are shit. Highlights include (not guaranteed to be available):

  • Shrek movies (all of them I think)
  • Madagascar (all of them I think)
  • Puss in Boots 1 & 2
  • Avatar: The Last Airbender
  • Spongebob Squarepants
  • The Office
  • Forrest Gump
  • Green Mile
  • Pulp Fiction
  • Dexter
  • Dr House
  • Schindler's List

I mean, AppleTalk would be a pretty good contender to TCP/IP if it wasn’t proprietary.
