The Blues are actually looking pretty good. Solid game so far.

It’s 3 plus/minus 1 sigma

Yes! Excellent advice!

I am a big fan of RSS and have been using it as my primary source of info for at least a decade.

I actually already had SBS but only just now realised that ABC pages (eg “just in”) can be entered directly and it’ll find the RSS version (using Reeder at least).

Do you have advice about how to centralise/organise RSS? I use Feedly as a cloud source that I point Reeder at (have also been playing with Fiery Feeds). But I can’t help but think there’s a better way that doesn’t involve a third party (again, privacy).

Thank you. That’s very helpful.

And yep, https://www.abc.net.au/news is exactly one of the sites I was thinking of. I notice their app makes many calls to firebaselogging-pa.googleapis.com and similar. Sending who knows what.

Moving to the web version I’m hoping can blunt such things. On iOS I use AdGuard, Hush, and StopTheMadness. https://d3ward.github.io/toolz/adblock.html tells me I’m not doing too bad in terms of ads and tracking.

Two others which are pretty bad with their apps but have very similar webpages:

I guess my question was if webpage versions of apps can/typically use Google analytics-type tracking of what you’re doing.

And more specifically if Safari with private relay, perhaps with some extensions, can hide anything such webpages are trying to scrape.

Yeah Morrowind was great for that. Felt more old school RPG where you actually had to explore to complete quests.

This. And if you have kids that just want a large catalogue of random games, it’s perfect.

Doesn’t seem many people commenting here like the idea. But for me personally, and my family situation, saves me heaps of money.

Ha! Just finished Player of Games yesterday and bought Use of Weapons. Trying to decide whether to continue with Culture or mix things up and start with the first Wheel of Time book.

Either way I’ll get to it, and the rest, because the first two I thought were excellent reads and I really like Banks’ writing.

Or you could tear the Dyson hand dryer off the wall and carefully jimmy the door open with it

Sorry, my bad. I thought this was a petition OP had set up. And not Mozilla themselves to protect Firefox. Sleep deprivation :(
