What’s broken about VLC? Presumably you’ve tried deleting app data and reinstalling.

Its what you sign up for if you’re stupid enough to buy an Apple phone.

Is that in an Android app? I also hate how there’s no refuse all button, and it can take 15 minutes to opt out from all manually. I just use Rethink DNS to block ads and trackers and hope that that’s enough.

I wouldn’t just give to any random stranger without them even requesting it, because why would I? But if I met someone, I probably would have given them my phone number anyway. What’s insecure about that? I can always block them.

You can apply a chrome or Safari theme to Firefox, if its the looks you don’t like.

But the app is closed source, so you can’t know that Facebook isn’t intercepting it at either end.

Let me guess, the group chat is WhatsApp or iMessage, so Facebook or Apple gets to see them too.

Stealth 7B mostly

I’ll just use Jan locally on my machine and Microsoft Copilot for images.

Lol. I don’t care whether a Nazi said the quote, but they make good arguments besides for that

I’m saying it is easy to install, but people think it isn’t.

Oh, it’s not, they just think it is. I have personal experience of this.

Either because they’ve never heard of it, they think it’s difficult to set up, or they think it’s less polished or reliable.

That’s a terrible standard to support, Google controls that and there are no RCS FOSS apps. They should instead use something like Matrix.

There’s also Google and Samsung pay, to be fair, but it’s not open to wider competition besides the biggest brands.

Yes. DS Note from the AUR can provide the same functionality, apparently.

I found the app you wanted! Speech Note on Flathub

I’d like this too, but I’m not sure it one app to do this exists. You can use vosk for dictation in multiple languages, various different open source text translation tools, and then use espeak to narrate in multiple languages. I don’t know if anyone’s put them together like that yet though.

Doesn’t Pegasus spy on you from the hardware?

Idk, what is verified boot?

Why would you want a locked bootloader? It’s helpful being able to switch OSs without losing all your data.

Many people just don’t have £2000 to spend on a laptop, no matter how much it could save them in the log run.

Aren’t they really expensive? Sure if you have the money, but what do you recommend as a budget option?

Not for apps.

What’s worse is when it’s accept all or manage preferences, and you manually have to turn off cookies for all 718 partners individually, every time you open the app.

Does this also apply to the UK? In the EU, do you simply make a GDPR request, or what?

Wait, I just realised I have both installed, and they both sound the same, so one must be using the other, but I don’t know which.

+1 for espeak, it works great

Bh sharing, unencrypted, on Lemmy that you like watching revolutionary videos on YouTube, the government now has that data, even if Google wasn’t going to give it to them. I thought I would just add that, as everyone else has explained asymmetric encryption well.

Also, usually it’s just the content of the website, not the URL itself that is encrypted, so anyone, not just the government, can know what YouTube videos you watch (as the video ID is in the URL) as well as the URL of any other websites you visit.

NFC payments app.

Thanks

Why is that a phrase? People do occasionally sell bridges.

Why not just delete your Discord account? That should delete your number.

Lol, accurate.

Honestly, if I lived in Gaza, I would not have children. Why would you want to subject more people to the misery that’s happening there?

There are Linux phones, like the Pinephone and postmarketOS, but they’re not as polished as Andrpoid and iOS

It would be good if it was FOSS.

apparently

I haven’t used that feature myself

Beeper can apparently view Instagram, although I haven’t used that feature myself.

Can you link the app? I searched ‘permission slip’ in Aurora and couldn’t find it.
