In CFF Explorer, replace the kernel32.dll import with pwrp_k32.dll and copy this file from your Supermium installation. The screenshot was taken on XP RTM

The @AstroSkipper version is still working. I created it back when nobody was maintaining the legacy version of uBO anymore. This had led to @UCyborg also working on an updated version again. I tested it for a while and actually think any further development is a good thing, but unfortunately I found incompatibilities and higher resource usage. That’s why I’ve gone back to my version. In my opinion, it’s not easy to implement features in legacy extensions that were actually developed for webextensions.

Actually, "supermium_uao.exe" won't launch under XP SP3 (32-bit) because of two missing functions on XP's kernel32 system file: # Report By YY.Depends.Analyzer (Target:5.1.2600-x86) ## kernel32.dll * [ ] InitializeCriticalSectionEx - Supported OS: 6.0.6000, 6.1.7600, 6.2.9200, 6.3.9600, 10.0.10240 - Ref Module: supermium_uao.exe * [ ] LCMapStringEx - Supported OS: 6.0.6000, 6.1.7600, 6.2.9200, 6.3.9600, 10.0.10240 - Ref Module: supermium_uao.exe Above is a log acquired via the YY-Thunks CLI tool; the command I used was: YY.Depends.Analyzer "supermium_uao.exe" /IgnoreReady /ReportView:CheckBox /Target:5.1.2600 As @mjd79 suggested (), if you redirect the kernel32.dll function calls to Supermium's wrapper DLL "pwrp_k32.dll", you'll be able to make the executable XP-compatible ...

marked for next update. but I'm still waiting for https://repo.palemoon.org/MoonchildProductions/UXP/issues/3111 to be fixed.

Replaced the XP build in the previous link. Added zlib to support png. Added libxml2 as suggested by @VistaLover.

@nicolaasjan Thanks for testing. We will go with a somewhat fuller build and make sure things are functional. A new build will replace the old one shortly.

And whose fault is that? Certainly NOT @autodidact's ; many users here, especially the "XP-die-hards", complained of "inflated" FFmpeg binary sizes; that they ONLY wanted a binary capable of just remuxing downloaded formats (and only with the h264/aac codecs) from youtube.com; nothing more; IOW, a "bare-bones" FFmpeg compile... So, "they" got what "they" asked for (and no more shared builds, on top of that) ... I, of course, was against such a request, because I also use FFmpeg outside of a yt-dlp context; e.g., the latest XP binary can't even fetch MPEG-DASH streams on its own, because it has been compiled without an XML parser (libxml2)); since I'm on Vista SP2 x86, I stayed silent, as the "Vista builds" (many thanks for those shared binaries, too ) continue to fulfill most of my needs under Vista; no complaints here of any sort, @autodidact !

FFmpeg update. XP: static shared libfdk-aac VISTAx86: shared static libfdk-aac

There has been a new release (finally ) by its author, Bellard, of the quickjs JS runtime, necessary for de-scrambling YouTube's nsig challenges (present on most yt_player_clients, except for ANDR-V); the 32-bit binary can be found on: https://bellard.org/quickjs/binary_releases/quickjs-win-i686-2026-06-04.zip (64-bit binary: https://bellard.org/quickjs/binary_releases/quickjs-win-x86_64-2026-06-04.zip) quickjs is the only supported JS runtime on "legacy" WinOSes, like XP SP3/Vista SP2/Win7 SP1; I can't check on XP SP3 x86, but the new release does launch here (Vista SP2 x86): qjs -h => QuickJS version 2026-06-04 usage: qjs [options] [file [args]] -h --help list options -e --eval EXPR evaluate EXPR -i --interactive go to interactive mode -m --module load as ES6 module (default=autodetect) --script load as ES6 script (default=autodetect) --strict force strict mode -I --include file include an additional file --std make 'std' and 'os' available to the loaded script -T --trace trace memory allocation -d --dump dump the memory usage stats --memory-limit n limit the memory usage to 'n' bytes (SI suffixes allowed) --stack-size n limit the stack size to 'n' bytes (SI suffixes allowed) --no-unhandled-rejection ignore unhandled promise rejections -s strip all the debug info --strip-source strip the source code -q --quit just instantiate the interpreter and quit Additionally, the quickjs-ng fork has also seen a new release: https://github.com/quickjs-ng/quickjs/releases/tag/v0.15.1 https://github.com/quickjs-ng/quickjs/releases/download/v0.15.1/qjs-windows-x86.exe This runtime officially supports Win7 SP1 and later, but it can also work under Vista SP2 (but NOT on XP SP3): qjs -h => QuickJS-ng version 0.15.1 usage: qjs [options] [file [args]] -h --help list options -v --version print version string and then exit -e --eval EXPR evaluate EXPR -i --interactive go to interactive mode -C --script load as JS classic script (default=autodetect) -m --module load as ES module (default=autodetect) -I --include file include an additional file --std make 'std', 'os' and 'bjson' available to script -T --trace trace memory allocation -d --dump dump the memory usage stats -D --dump-flags flags for dumping debug data (see DUMP_* defines) -c --compile FILE compile the given JS file as a standalone executable -o --out FILE output file for standalone executables --exe select the executable to use as the base, defaults to the current one --memory-limit n limit the memory usage to 'n' Kbytes --stack-size n limit the stack size to 'n' Kbytes -q --quit just instantiate the interpreter and quit Both are fully supported by latest yt-dlp; performance-wise, they shouldn't differ much, if at all...

Would you please stop with that. You have absolutely no clue what I’m dealing with personally and privately, which is why I don't have time to constantly check the server. MSFN is a one-man show. And how do you know I won't say thanks? On top of that, I’ve wanted to shut MSFN down several times over the last few months because of this situation. So back off. Stick to software, hardware discussion or go find another forum. I don't care. Just be careful. Have a nice night or day or whatever.

Yesterday, I uploaded files to MediaFire, and the used RAM increased to over 600 MB. After closing the tab, only a very, very small amount of used RAM was freed up. @roytam1, any chance to natively improve that behaviour in New Moon 28?

@Dietmar Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. For the first time in the world, WinXP 64-bit in pure UEFI from an eMMC disk !!! same acpi.sys 5.2.3790.7777 built by: ddi2 as I use in my modern WinXP tutorial eMMC driver from @George King modded .inf by me eMMC disk size is 8 GB and my WinXP occupies only 1.22 GB all size (I tested installation Win8.1 Lite but occupies 90% disk space) for install I use USB with Win8.1 installer because this support eMMC I had to remove the original sdbus.sys and sffdisk.sys drivers from the system (also from the Driver Cache), need change in hidden bios settings eMMC mode from ACPI to PCI Mode and add Intel eMMC controller Device ID 2294 to critical list devices in regedit: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\CriticalDeviceDatabase I've been waiting for this for a long time. P.S. Now I will also try on Dell Wyse 5070 Gemini Lake on eMMC - maybe I will also succeed ???

It is proving somewhat difficult to find a configuration that satisfies everyone. I have added a shared XP build that includes ffplay in the previous post.

Yes I am oke and new version will be soon already as usual.

My main focus was on fixing all the obvious errors caused by a completely outdated XPI file and its incompatibility with the new format of the assets file. That is why I also changed the uBO ID in my version and created my own assets file. As I already said, it’s not easy to implement patches, and that also includes security patches, in legacy extensions that were actually developed for webextensions. So, if you are more interested in security patches of uBO itself, you should use @UCyborg's version and wait for the most recent ones if they are ever implemented. But if you are rather interested in compatibilty and better performance, you should use my version. So it’s entirely up to you.

Everything I reported earlier is already old news. The error has been back in full force for almost a week now. Views are no longer being counted at all. For example:

You don't "need" that tool. All it does is create ONE FILE in your profile directory and Supermium looks for that file. It is called "uao" without any dot-extension. Basically follows this format:

Nothing was reset. I just pruned some inactive members. Found breach, egyspider webshell. Old WP plugin. Took me 4 days to clean up everything. Reindex sitemap and requested new Google indexing. We are getting back on google. As for country flag, I will fix that. Thanks for pointing it out. Anyway, I do as much as I can. Not much spare time.

Views counter not counting caused by PHP upgrade. Waiting on patch.

we talk a little away from each others, the "fix it" part was for notheretoplaygames not for K4sum1 and we have like 100 % the same meaning: "2) We-the-consumer can just slip back to a previous version - IT AIN'T GONNA HURT YOU ONE D@MN BIT TO USE A PREVIOUS VERSION." i totally agree on that one, but what notheretoplaygames also says is that he has to much of upgrades he says always something like "that upgrades go a little to fast" but here is where i tryed to point out you can fix this version trick - i dont have to repeat what i wrote about that, its a version trick in short again also you only missing the part with version 8 - thats the last one from the "common trick list" - there are certainly more - but having these would be ok for now and it does indeed work against that "fast upgrade problem" the other part regarding the user agent - if r3dfox has a problem with the new versions - yes the user agent is a solution that work against that - it might not fix it totally - but it would be a step into the right direction that same thing also goes for supermium - what is even the problem to searching for the value that is being added to not_a_brand with "version 8" ? thats the only thing you missing, its only 1 thing

Thanks for your reply and hints, @jumper! Yesteday, I checked all prefs related to memory management and performance. And there are a lot. After investigating them, I adjusted my settings, and now New Moon 28 behaves better than before. When starting the browser under same condition as before, the palemoon.exe process decreases its RAM usage from 184 MB to 139 MB. And after surfing some sites and closing their tabs, my automatic memory minimization in the background is now able to release more memory than before. But of course, that doesn’t solve the fundamental problem with browsers that run in single-process mode. But it’s a significant improvement nonetheless. My user.js is now totally optimised for my old P4 processor. Regarding your suggestion, I don't think setting browser.cache.memory to false is a good idea. My IDE hard disk is too slow for that. Although my RAM is SD-RAM, it is much faster.

I'm seriously wondering what the significance is, ie, the "viral" aspect is, of that number THREE. e3k-blah... r3dfox... probably just overthinking it, but that 3 just feels like some "viral meme" that I'm just not "hip enough" to know.

Update notification! As already reported, the Root Certificates have been updated and are now from 29-04-2026. Here again a screenshot: After a long delay, I have just updated my self-created, offline Root Certificate Updaters in the section 11.2.4. Downloads related to Root Certificate Updates (in the first post of this thread). Cheers, AstroSkipper

god speed! hope you accomplish this "mission". thx much for trying and caring.. regards....

that is a kernel extender it seems to be a overkill just for file read tool - why it cant make a simple text string with normal code it might have been compiled with a newer version of visual studio 2019 i thought i might talked about this already https://msfn.org/board/topic/182888-how-vs-makes-working-code-still-incompatible/ the vistual studio 2019 v16.1 to v16.7 dont have that problem - all after 16.8 - 16.11 have that trick inside it is a hidden .obj file, where in the c-runtime code/ucrt/std depening on how we call this is forced to being used you can see the header and cpp files - but if you edit them it never reads that code - instead it always force to use that .obj file - what is precompiled with that code that use vista+ functions as said in that article that compiler makes a code that runs without your code and it runs before your programm is starting up (and there are these missing functions - even if they are not used in your code)

Do you planning to update your version of Ublock in future?

You are right. I noticed it last night. I can't find where the error is. It's probably from the database upgrade. I'm working on it.

Thanks, that's interesting! That's good. As you said earlier, presumably I can just make any changes I need on the 64-bit Windows 10 version, and then copy the generated file to the 32-bit Windows XP version.

Good question! All Chrome-based browsers use WINDOWS'S "cert store". But I also *never* "update" Windows. But I've also *never* encountered "expired" certificates. And I'm also "deadset against" any (including those found at MSFN) "certificate updaters" (cause more harm than good). So yeah, good question, it would seem that my usage (and it sounds like yours too) would &/or should bump into "expired" certs - but again, I never have. In the past, for me at least, that was because I *created my own* certificate for PROXOMITRON and the browser only relied on that certificate. But I dropped Proxomitron in favor of all userscripts and userstyles about a year and a half ago (too many Cloudflare issues that requires Proxomitron [Reborn] to be bypassed). My gut reaction answer was that maybe certs are good for too long into the future so I've never hit an expiration. But MSFN's cert shows only THREE MONTHS between release date and expiration date. This Win10 install is WAY older than that! With no Windows Updates allowed! But no cert error here at MSFN. Sorry, none of that is really an "answer", per se, but adds intrigue to your question. Hmm...

@Dietmar Yeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaa I built from scratch a bootvid.dll driver (hardcoded version) for WinXP 64-bit that can display a BSOD on the screen if OS boot in UEFI mode It only needs to hardcode the current graphics card memory address and the native resolution of the monitor: I also built a version that automatically finds the address of the graphics card but cannot read the current resolution and uses hardcoded resolution and displays the BSOD only well in hardcoded resolution. On any other resolution BSOD it is corrupt: But of course possible compile bootvid.dll auto-scan memory addres and use hardcoded any custom resolution e.g. popular 1920x1080

I could say that on same video test, about of 3 seconds less, from about 12 seconds to 9-10. That's about a 25%, not the 42% stated, on my Core 2 Duo, but less would have been nothing :)

Since the administrator @xper apparently does not feel it necessary to officially thank his members for their active participation in providing data that led to a precise theory, on the basis of which it was possible to prove the infection of the MSFN server, I shall do so here. @EliraFriesnan, @roytam1, @NotHereToPlayGames, @Ben Markson, @modnar, @deomsh and @nicolaasjan. Thank you for your confirmations with search engine results you generated from all over the world! That was a real community effort at its very best. And since my ‘cloaking’ theory https://msfn.org/board/topic/187801-msfn-and-its-lack-of-search-results-in-google-bing-and-all-search-engines-depending-on-them/page/5/#findComment-1287780, which, although based on many facts, remains a theory until it has been subjected to rigorous, unequivocal and, above all, empirical verification, I would like to once again express my sincere thanks to @nicolaasjan for his clever experiment and for highlighting the malware infestation in this post: https://msfn.org/board/topic/187801-msfn-and-its-lack-of-search-results-in-google-bing-and-all-search-engines-depending-on-them/page/5/#findComment-1287787. This made the culprit clearly visible and made it impossible to continue ignoring or denying an infection of the MSFN server. In mathematics, this signifies the end of a proof, i.e. q.e.d. And that is the most important thing for me. Cleaning it up was then just a formality and, really, a piece of cake for someone with experience, if you already know exactly what you’re looking for and have been given all the necessary information. Unfortunately, it will now take many weeks for MSFN to recover in the Google index. Not to mention the disastrous drop in the rankings of all MSFN threads.

Was just adding search machine-info while you posted, see above. Same phrase: site:msfn.org 2026

I just changed `general.useragent.override.msfn.org` to: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Googlebot/2.1; +http://www.google.com/bot.html) But why doesn't the administrator do something about it?

That's actually reassuring. The over-time count is more important than a "real-time" count. I am suprised that it isn't "real-time". But what that does tell us is that all of our *FAKE* MEMBERS with a "0 count" for SIX MONTHS are indeed *** FAKE *** accounts - *axe 'em all !!! without prejudice*

Yes, a good suggestion to block rumour spreaders.

There was a leak, my first release wasn't protected with X-prot, so someone, someone I shared my app with, had hacked it and made another launcher app based on my knowledge, but it's nowhere near as good as the original, that person didn't know all secrets. Clearer now?

I think Klemper's logic is very simple, and I tend to agree, no source for that particular dll would mean Supermium is indeed close source, it's simply won't even launch without it. It's not "hearsay", no source for that dll was ever published, I looked.

I'm pleased you still remember me! Unfortunately, as others had pointed out many times, any programmes that may or may not work with Vista x64, be it with ot without kernel, or any other third party modifications, has nothing to do with this topic and Windows XP, I think we better move to another one, or you just tell us about your encounters with Windows XP x86 and any AV that works good there, thanks.

Thanks for the hint! Never heard of it! I'll have a look at this tool at the next opportunity. Cheers, AstroSkipper

Custom Buttons - The extension for installing custom buttons The extension Custom Buttons gives a possibility to create or install custom toolbar buttons to enhance the browser's functionality or get easily access to features difficult to be reached. Here is a screenshot of Custom Buttons which is integrated in the Add-ons Manager after installation: There are different ways to install a custom button. If you have written an own custom button, you can add this code via the button 'Add new button'. Here is a screenshot of its configuration window: If you want to install an already provided one, the installation depends on the format of this button. In case it is offered as an XML file, you can install it via the browser's file menu item 'Open file' and click onto the button 'Install', or you do it via 'drag and drop' into an empty browser window. Here is an example what you'll see when you do that: In the internet and especially in the Custom Buttons forum http://custombuttons.sourceforge.net/forum/index.php, you can install custom buttons via a provided link. You see, a lot of possibilities to get and install custom buttons. The last version, you can download via the Classic Add-ons Archive, is Custom Buttons 0.0.5.8.9. The version, which I use and can recommend, is Custom Buttons 0.0.5.8.9.6-fixed8, a more recent and compatible one. It works flawlessly in New Moon 28, Serpent 52, and also in other browsers. I uploaded this version for you. Here is the download link: https://www.mediafire.com/file/wpf38lupdi4fo0s/custom_buttons-0.0.5.8.9-fixed8-signed.xpi/file Cheers, AstroSkipper

GeoFlag customized by @AstroSkipper I used the extension FlagFox for a very long time in Firefox 52.9.0 ESR, Pale Moon, New Moon, and Serpent 52. Although this extension was abandoned for the legacy UXP browsers due to the change to the modern web extensions years ago, it could be updated by inserting its most recent database manually. I did that for a very long time. But, since I realized that there is a new extension called GeoFlag, I replaced the old extension FlagFox by this new one in my installation of New Moon 28. As described in my post about the Pale Moon extensions from Realtriple Software https://msfn.org/board/topic/183923-extensions-and-custom-buttons-for-uxp-browsers-corrections-modifications-adjustments-and-special-recommendations/?do=findComment&comment=1226249, the GeoFlag extension has to be modified to work in New Moon 28. It can be made compatible with Serpent 52, too. Here is the modified code of GeoFlag's install.rdf for Serpent 52: <?xml version="1.0"?> <RDF xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#" xmlns:em="http://www.mozilla.org/2004/em-rdf#"> <Description about="urn:mozilla:install-manifest"> <em:name>GeoFlag</em:name> <em:id>{76843B06-C8C5-5088-90C5-679EA2F00123}</em:id> <em:version>31.0</em:version> <em:type>2</em:type> <!-- Pale Moon --> <em:targetApplication> <Description> <em:id>{8de7fcbb-c55c-4fbe-bfc5-fc555c87dbc4}</em:id> <em:minVersion>28.10.0</em:minVersion> <em:maxVersion>31.*</em:maxVersion> </Description> </em:targetApplication> <!-- Basilisk / Iceweasel-UXP / Serpent --> <em:targetApplication> <Description> <em:id>{ec8030f7-c20a-464f-9b0e-13a3a9e97384}</em:id> <em:minVersion>52.9.0</em:minVersion> <em:maxVersion>52.9.*</em:maxVersion> </Description> </em:targetApplication> <em:description>Displays a flag depicting the location of the current server</em:description> <em:optionsURL>chrome://geoflag/content/options.xul</em:optionsURL> <em:homepageURL>https://realityripple.com/Software/XUL/GeoFlag/</em:homepageURL> <em:updateURL>https://realityripple.com/Software/XUL/GeoFlag/update.rdf</em:updateURL> <em:iconURL>chrome://geoflag/skin/logo.png</em:iconURL> <em:icon64URL>chrome://geoflag/skin/logo64.png</em:icon64URL> <em:creator>RealityRipple</em:creator> <em:developer>David Garrett</em:developer> <em:developer>Joseph Birr-Pixton</em:developer> </Description> </RDF> Or, you can use the extension Serpent Tester Tool https://msfn.org/board/topic/183923-extensions-and-custom-buttons-for-uxp-browsers-corrections-modifications-adjustments-and-special-recommendations/?do=findComment&comment=1226306 to make GeoFlag compatible with Serpent. Anyway, this extension is absolutely great and much better than FlagFox. There are many additional features and all of them are working perfectly. Here is a screenshot of its context menu: There was only one feature I unfortunately missed. The menu item My info to get information about the user's external IP and their location. For that reason, I added this item by myself. And, what can I say? It works exactly as expected. Here is a screenshot with my customized settings: Download link of GeoFlag: https://realityripple.com/Software/XUL/GeoFlag/ Cheers, AstroSkipper

uBlock Origin Legacy modified by @AstroSkipper - Part 1 (obsolete) uBlock Origin Legacy 1.16.4.30 is the latest version you can download from GitHub. Here is the link: https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock-for-firefox-legacy/releases/tag/firefox-legacy-1.16.4.30. In the most recent versions of New Moon 28 and Serpent 52, the UI of uBlock Origin's dashboard page has been broken. The menu items at the top of the dashboard page are compressed and no longer visible. However, you can still click on them with the mouse. In previous versions of New Moon 28 and Serpent 52, everything was fine (I didn't check in which version this issue occurred first). I also tested this misbehaviour with a clean profile. Here is a screenshot of this issue: I had a deeper look inside this extension and analyzed several embedded files. I checked all code referring to stylesheets and therefore especially CSS code. After reading a bit in an online CSS reference, I started to understand how this issue might be corrected. It was a good thing that I had dealt a bit more intensively with CSS a few months ago. My idea was in fixing the wrong positioning of the dashboard's menu bar and correcting all distances. Inside the xpi archive is a file called dashboard.css. This file had to be modified. Here is the section with the problematic, original code: html, body { display: flex; flex-direction: column; height: 100vh; justify-content: stretch; overflow: hidden; position: relative; width: 100vw; } #dashboard-nav { background-color: var(--default-surface); border: 0; box-shadow: var(--dashboard-bar-shadow); display: flex; flex-shrink: 0; flex-wrap: wrap; overflow-x: hidden; padding: 0; position: sticky; top: 0; width: 100%; z-index: 10; } And, here is the same section with my modifications: html, body { display: flex; flex-direction: column; height: 100vh; justify-content: stretch; overflow: hidden; padding-top: 35px; position: sticky; width: 100vw; } #dashboard-nav { background-color: var(--default-surface); border: 0; box-shadow: var(--dashboard-bar-shadow); display: flex; flex-shrink: 0; flex-wrap: wrap; overflow-x: hidden; padding: 0; position: absolute; top: 0; width: 100%; z-index: 10; } You see, I changed very little code. I corrected in 'html, body {} the value of the property position from 'relative' to 'sticky' and added a distance to the top of the dashboard page by the property padding-top with a value of 35px. Furthermore, I changed the value of the property position in #dashboard-nav {} from 'sticky' to 'absolute'. Anyway, it was a problem of positioning and correct distances. Now, with my modifications of the file dashboard.css, the dashboard can be opened as before, and all elements are finally fully visible again. This is a screenshot after fixing the issue, to demonstrate the result of my modification: Here is the download link to my fixed version of uBlock Origin Legacy 1.16.4.30: https://www.mediafire.com/file/9lzu12rv5sczto9/uBlock0_1.16.4.30.firefox-legacy-mod-by-%40AstroSkipper.xpi/file Cheers, AstroSkipper

Hello @mina7601! At the moment I am extending the documentation with a short explanation for each menu item. And I have improved the visibility of the windows in some programs. I am also trying to improve my programs with regard to false positives from virus scanners. My Avast doesn't like some of them although they are absolutely clean. Therefore, still a bit to do! But the release will come very soon. Due to the false positives of some virus scanners, I am now trying to switch to another compiler. All programs that I have created myself will then have to be recompiled and, after that, rechecked on VirusTotal.com. I will make these results available when I release my program package ProxHTTPSProxy's PopMenu TLS 1.3 3V3. I hope it can be released on Sunday. Cheers, AstroSkipper

I'm sure all of you are aware that Russia placed enormous amounts of war arsenal (and some say approx 125-150 thousands of cannon fodder too) extremely close to the European borders . Not to mention russian fleet in 240km of Ireland's shores , right above the data/internet cables for war "exercices". Why no one says anything about the catastrophic impact on the climate ? All of that efforts that @Mr.Scienceman2000and @Gansangriff were doing all these years (using old phones , saving the planet) are in vain. Anyone ? Silence ? And what about the poor animals killed ? Poor Irish fish ? No protests against near russian embassies ! Where is Greanpeace ?!?!? That's what I thought... Ever wondered why the "greens"(reds) only oppose UK/US and not Chino-Russia ? Well , one can't bark at the master . Here's a short but sweet explanation and a bit of history of this "movement". Esp. about the current German ones. Original : https://twitter.com/andersostlund/status/1485121247440773125 The same , conveneint to read (merged) https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1485121247440773125.html BTW , this is not over and looks like far from it , you can watch some pretty interesting footage here , many videos added daily. https://twitter.com/EndGameWW3 https://twitter.com/RALee85 Will continue to limit yourself ? lol
