people spend a third of their lives on those things. And while cumbersome, a big screen simply is better for media consumption
only way I see smaller phones make a comeback is if we change our habits or if a new technology comes along
Lemmy was created by a tankie, many of whose opinions I abhor.
As long as it’s FOSS and doesn’t inherently promote their beliefs, I will use the software.
I agree it’s not great and I’d prefer if it weren’t made by imbeciles
I think I remember him endorsing signal years ago which gave it at big boost at the time
I agree with many recommendations
but as someone who has tried many VPN providers I can say Windscribe is really bad (for servers in the EU at least).
Slow, few servers, unreliable, and blocked on many websites
surprisingly I see it recommended all the time
most likely yes.
My point is, if youtube customizes the feeds based on the IPs, then the youtube accounts used are not really “fresh” but there’s already some data entered into the profiles upon their creation.
fresh YouTube account
change their location to a random city in the US
yeah but you’re still bound to IP addresses. I was under the impression Youtube used those for their profiling
France
But it seems to be an issue elsewhere also
This is ridiculous

It absolutely is the same strategy tv manufacturers adopted that allows them to sell for so cheap
I tried an unmodified xiaomi phone and couldn’t believe how shit it was.
Ads everywhere. When you open the file manager you’d get a full page ad. That phone was a disease
No wonder they don’t want people installing ad-free Lineageos on their machines
I still use yt-dlp to download because I don’t understand Freetube’s options. It’s either only audio or video
Also if you’re on Linux and you get a white screen during playback (has been an issue since 0.22) this fix works for me: freetube --enable-features=''
edit: posting a vertical pic messes up the webpage a bit. If it’s annoying tell me
How does that work? The lab puts you in contact with people they know share your DNA?

That’s the one. It doesn’t come up when I search either firefox or mozilla
From the Play store/Aurora, or is there another way? I remember an app on fdroid that would install different mozilla browsers but I can’t find it
So what do you use instead?
his payrise is equivalent to something like 3000 US workers minimum wage annual salaries
if my math is correct (which it probably isn’t)
I loved xprivacy_lua
You could hide almost everything.
No app knew the other apps I used.
No app had clipboard access. when I needed to paste something I used Xposed Edge.
You could spoof a lot of info, GPS coordinates, IMEI …
The list goes on.
support stopped. I should check if there’s a fork.
edit: AOSP permissions have improved and I now use almost exclusively FOSS apps, so I’m not worried, but I still miss the app.

I just received a Kagi invite from a friend.
It’s absolutely great
Let’s hope they don’t look too closely at how family plans are shared for now.
10€ + taxes a month is just too steep for me
FT-Sync (in beta) has just been released.
Also on the dev’s website (in French)
I think Linux only, and between desktop clients, no mention of Android.
Also manual install, but it’s not too hard.
Even though the photo provided to HR was fake, the person who was interviewed for the job apparently looked enough like it to pass.
why not send an actual picture of his face?
I don’t know. more than 60% of Internet traffic comes from mobile devices, and it keeps increasing
