What browser can I use now that firefox on ubuntu has become unusable with it's constant restarts for updates? It restarted while I was updating the settings on my router, leaving the router in an undefined state. There is no way to continue using once it's decided to update. I hate to go back to chrome and have google spy on me, but firefox has become unusable

@chrisgerhard I use Firebox Snap (the default) on 23.04 and do not have this issue. Just a notice I should close it soon.

@chrisgerhard @losttourist every update if Firefox does fix a security issue. Since I can't remember when

This week on Time Team, we investigate a statue that weeps blood in a Tunbridge Wells garden.

Home-owner Karen thinks her flower beds may be the site of a Cthulan temple, and Stuart agrees, but the Geophys is unclear.

Is Karen right? We have just three days to find out...

What's the cheapest Android phone that I can buy outright, which runs Android 13?

Must be new and available in the UK. I don't care about any specific features.

Trying to work out how it compares to the cheapest iOS 16 device.

@Edent must be about a quarter the price of the cheapest new iPhone.... would be interested to see if iOS is x4 as good

@garius more like Honda switching from Red Bull after they moved to Ford to chase the US market.

I wonder how the implemented the Call to Action on that. Must have been in-app, right?

@chriscoyier I think there is a link on the "this is a new version" screen, but this only appears rarely because Thunderbird has a nice low release rate

godaddy is the registry for my domain, and I'm thinking of moving it to Google Domains as it has (afaik) email baked in, and I need a something@raymondcamden.com email address to have a verified sender with MailChimp.

Anyone do anything like this?

PSTN Switch-off coming in 2025 for everyone in the UK.

@AlisonW @blogmywiki well, no, openreach provide and maintain the connection, physically, for all supplier's

@ColinHaynes @AlisonW @blogmywiki someone turns up, installs a box, connects existing phone to box.
It's like they've thought of this.

falken,
@falken@qoto.org avatar

@ColinHaynes @AlisonW @blogmywiki depends. Contact your provider. Zen gave me a choice, for instance about number, and I don't have fax machines or old house alarms to worry about.

@falken@qoto.org avatar

@ColinHaynes @AlisonW @blogmywiki may be check on https://www.openreach.com/fibre-checker too. Although that claims my copper FTTC will be replaced with full FTTP a year after PSTN switch off so YMMV

Question: Where do people get their eBooks from?

Since deGoogling myself and exiting the Amazon, I've struggled to find legit sources.

I've no issue with paying for what I read, but I'd prefer DRM-free.

falken,

@rb kobo. Easy enough to strip DRM from too if you want to export/backup

Telecoms followers: is there a technical reason why mobile phones can’t connect to any cell tower in range, instead of only ones belonging to my provider? For example, if I’m on EE but have no signal, why can’t I be routed through Vodafone? I’m thinking of something like LINK, where I can use my bank A card in a bank B cash machine transparently and free (to me).
