@zpojqwfejwfhiunz Thanks for the heads up. It's on Canadian Netflix, and the weather here today very good for inside activities.

@freemo @Deepsealioness @QOTO Here...

@Surasanji LOL. 😃

Hope you have some plans to occupy the time...

@pschwede Yes, it will cost. But the FED seems to create Billions out of thin electrons without much problem, when failed Banks needed it...

Longer term, if employment becomes scarce due to automation, they might have to work out something to keep masses content.

@welshpixie That is wonderful work. Well done.

@Surasanji @freemo Balsa wood. Sharp Exacto knives. Sticky glue. 😃

@realcaseyrollins @shibaprasad For the Windows and Mac versions, installing from the website is not a problem.

I have been digging about the Android app, and there's some problem with Google Play, which is not showing the app in most cases.

It DOES show the app page if:

- you are logged into google with an account which HAS installed it previously (like the one I use on my phone). But even then, although I get the page and it's got the same version I have installed, it does NOT work for downloading an apk, or I would be getting and sharing it with you. Problem is described and listed in the github pages.

So, please give the Windows or Mac versions a try. Android, we need to sideload the older v.60 apk, or wait until it shows up normally.

@realcaseyrollins @shibaprasad No TOR built in, Casey, sorry.

@shibaprasad Checked the version, and on my phone I have version 68.0.a2

The apk listed above seems to be version 60, as per the page. Looked at Play store and definitely not there atm. 😔

Found an article describing what's good about it.

@shibaprasad Found an Android APK, I looked the other day and there was no copy on Google Play.

@shibaprasad In my opinion, yes. You can try it out without breaking your existing installation -- just download the Waterfox release, run the installer, and it will create it's own directory, copy your FF settings and bookmarks, etc.

You will just need to install any extensions you have currently again, from inside Waterfox.

I do like it. 😃 There is an Android version too, but it's currently not listed on Play store, he must be too busy maintaining the two desktop versions now (one man dev team).

In case you are not happy, uninstall it and nothing is lost in the current FF install.

@DissidentKitty@radical.town Had to check this. 😃

@tcql Also might consider an alternative to the Mozilla Firefox release, while you are experimenting?

I really like the Waterfox project, a FF with no tracking and talkback to Mozilla.

Waterfox has TWO branches now, the "Current"branch is code updated with current Firefox releases, and amazingly fast. The other, "Classic" branch supports lots of older Firefox extensions which Mozilla blocked long time ago.

@tcql@octodon.social I found a Firefox extension that works for the Times and a number of other sites. Very cool.

Not on the FF extensions pages, you need to get it from author's Github. Easy install, recommended.

( Does not seem to work with Washington Post, unfortunately)

@pschwede Finland had an UBI experimental project recently. We had one in Ontario, Canada, which was immediately cancelled when a retrograde government took over in 2018.

The Finnish one was quite interesting. Guardian has an article:

@Karthikdeva You are very welcome. I found it excellent reading, and the photos are great too.

We don't know much about Siberia, but it's an immense region that will be changing a lot.

The sheer size of Russia can only really be appreciated on a globe or a nice big world map.

@freemo Beautiful quote and penmanship.

Wow.
