As far as I can tell, it's always used ActivityPub for instances to communicate with each other, with video streaming mainly facilitated using WebTorrent on the backend to keep use of the host low.

It's really sad because the artists have little to no control over this. It is the venues who are contracted through Ticketmaster.

Yeah, it's like if every movie theater only used Fandango. It would be ridiculous if that was the case, yet that's what's happened to live events.

Yeah, but that's still an extra expense. Most people using Google VPN were using it because they were already paying for Google One.

The only plus in this situation is that switching VPNs is far easier than other services since it's just a pipe you're swapping out.

Still annoying though, since Google VPN was nice if you were already paying for Google One. Now people will have to pay extra for something else.

Unfortunately, the lack of Japanese input makes it a total non-starter for my use case so I had to go crawling back.

Ack, I also need that. Oof. Guess I'll have to keep looking.

Just trying to read the news on my phone kills its battery because of all the ads and crap. I'm just reading, why is my phone's battery draining like water? Hence Ad blocker is mandatory.

Just FYI, iPhones don't have fingerprint sensors in the screen. Older models with fingerprint sensors have a capacitive sensor in a physical home button/capacitive pad.

Newer iPhone's exclusively use FaceID for biometrics, which uses the camera array at the top of the device.

Honestly, I'm less worried about them falling, and more that they're gonna snap that chair's legs.

LOL, that's fair. That's messed with me before too.
