Thanks, updated now.

I been using Voyager so have felt the back button pain a lot. I installed Blorp just recently but an update seems to have broke it, it’s not working for me today.

They really didnt know the difference, my mom only played solitaire while Thunderbird was managable for my dad.

For a long time, I thought in the song Inagadadavida, the lyrics went ‘“doncha know that I love you”, but it turns out, they say "l’m lovin’ you".

That’s the plot from the Logan’s Run TV show

In a change from the book and film, the television series had the city secretly run by a cabal of older citizens who promised Francis a life beyond the age of 30 as a city elder if he can capture the fugitives.

The good, the bad, and the ugly.

Sure does. I’ve been using it for years.

RedReader app still works. No ads. Its on Google Play and FDroid.

Damn people, enshitifying the internet for the advertisers.
