I’ve head about private tackers forever, is it that much better than public? I have never really had an issue with public trackers ,but also never had an invite to a private one

Do you have the name for that fork?

There is so much weird al in this thread, which is great

Probably running with scissors (weird al) or no strings attached (nsync)

Yes, but in a sane world states like Texas and Florida that need this more than others would have more broad protections rather than banning help like they have done, needing the federal government to step in to protect the lives of their workers

And what might that be called if it were to be found?

Are you me? Firefox was always an option, but it definitely became slow maybe around 2010? I switched to chrome but came back to Firefox a few years ago also when chroms was first getting enshitified
