I remember the main dev of Mull saying it can be done on about:config but you need to disable something else, maybe you can find it on the project repo


We have a Shield Pro and unfortunately flashing wasn’t an option of us. What we did was start using an “alternative” launcher called Projectivy and installing apps outside the Play store.

Casting isn’t possible too, we simply learned to live without it. It seems you can use it on Kodi but I never really tried.


Unfortunately Proton Calendar and Proton Drive aren’t available on Github so I will still need to update manually if I don’t want to use the Play store :( I already put a few apps on it though


On Mobile I use Firefox Nightly but it is a pain. It crashes all the god damn time. I don’t know how y’all do it, Mull is the same thing because of the upstream. I sometimes consider using Vanadium but I ain’t pissed enough yet, I think.

On Desktop, Librewolf for mostly everything that I can manage work with it, what doesn’t I open whatever other browser that’s available.


For music I am currently using Tempo with a Navidrome server. It allows you to download specific songs to listen to them locally or I can listen to everything if I connect through Tailscale.

Also, I highly recommend Catima if you want to carry loyalty cards and things like that.

Thank you so much! I recently changed my Proton apps to the apks and I was wondering how to keep them updated.


That’s the joke, propositions are booleans


So Google Duo was replaced by Meet because of Cisco’s trademark? One can just go and trademark all numbers?


I don’t think that’s how rules for naming things work


No. They have a family plan which is way more expensive than two people paying for two separate individual plans.


We currently pay for the Family plan as a couple so this will be good for us. I tried downgrading but it still doesn't appear for me.

Oh yes I meant OTP, typo of my part.

Yes, it is paid.


I migrated from Bitwarden to Proton Pass (mostly due to their OTP integrations) and I am enjoying it very much. They are constantly improving it, which is also a plus.

  • Some banks I use require I aprove transactions on my phone when I am paying this online
  • One bank I use has tap to pay on the app instead of relying on Google Wallet

Oh yes, it is also feels so good that the richer have priority on transactions because they can pay exorbitant fees while you sometimes need to wait more than a month for a transaction to be confirmed.

I had to make a transaction to a private tracker and I don’t want to go through it never again.


I’m curious why no one recommending FlorisBoard.

I’ve been using GraoheneOS as my daily driver for months now. I still have issues with things that need Google Localization (car sharing program in my city for example) and I’ve had a few banking apps complaining when being installed from the Aurora Store.

I miss having my cards on my phone quite a lot.


I am yet to find an alternative for AndroidTV.


Alternative YouTube clients having issues loading videos
cross-posted from: https://beehaw.org/post/14909762 > It seems YT started another attempt at blocking alternative clients. They changed something in their API and both [SmartTube](https://github.com/yuliskov/SmartTube/issues/3606) and [Tubular (NewPipe fork)](https://github.com/polymorphicshade/Tubular/issues/97) are completely broken. Apparently it started happening this past week, but we personally just felt it today. Edit: SmartTube already has an update but still not working for 4K videos it seems. Tubular still not working but it might be due to the upstream (NewPipe) [is still working on a fix](https://old.reddit.com/r/NewPipe/comments/1dz8bjj/about_youtube_playback_errors_youtube_changed/).

I tried Nekogram but it is also showing ads. It only shows adds on public channels, though.


Sometimes I have doubts if some people I see posting here on Lemmy actually work. It seems like y’all live in this Wonderland where finding new jobs is extremely easy and convincing whole companies to use free software is easy like sending an e-mail. I’m honestly envious.

But still, the fact that the person already said that not using Windows isn’t an option and you persisted questioning wasn’t very nice, so I see no reason for you to be rude and offensive when someone call out your behavior. Please keep it civil.


We recently purchased the family plan even if it is quite expensive for a couple. Reading this of course made me feel better about it.


Can’t say anything about privacy because I haven’t used their stuff enough, however I have an iPad from 2013 in perfect state that it useless because I can’t install anything on it.


I don’t disagree with him in many aspects but I also think he’s a hypocrite in many aspects so…It just led me to stop caring about whatever he does/says



inb4 jwz blocks access to his website from Lemmy

Edit: Jokes aside:

Unlike Google, XScreenSaver will never try to make WebP a thing.

Is WebP bad? If so, why?


People like to take sides on the internet without doing proper research too, I think. I had this idea that Micay was toxic and kind of avoided the project for a long time. My conclusions after doing more research is that he is someone that lacks social skills and is indeed very opinionated. However, GrapheneOS isn’t made for privacy activists that can afford to use Mull instead of Vanadium, for example. GrapheneOS is made for people that cannot afford to have a phone that might leak information that could endanger their lives.

If Mikay was someone like Palmer Luckey which is a biggot that’s a whole different story. I am glad I gave GrapheneOS a try and I am very happy using it, even if it is kind of overkill for my privacy needs.


I love this solution but my main card is Amex which means I always have to carry a second card 💀



For nfc payments? I have seen people making it work for boarding passes and fidelity cards but not for that


Your option is having a financial institution that provides tap to pay on their own app. Otherwise you will have to start carrying cards again.

Edit:

You might want to check this thread on the official forums which has the discussions regarding NFC payments.

I have seen people recommending the usage of a smart watch such as Garmin which has their own Pay application. You can check their compatibility list here. I didn’t have any luck because they support like 5 cards in Canada.


I’m assuming you didn’t put a lot of thought in this comment.

Mastodon is great but expecting the majority of people to use it is just naive. I’m all in for tools that disrupt the usage of walled gardens.


I’ve had this happen and did upload the selfie but I think it happened because I was blocking some extra stuff that it was flagging my account to be automated


I always try to keep in mind there are a lot of people that are simply unable to transition to alternative apps because they lack knowledge and time to do research on such things. What we see through videos isn’t the majority of the people, it is people that make content for the majority.

People have hard times getting into more technical stuff already. Expecting people that are struggling to survive in capitalism to spend their free time learning about underground alternatives or to turn into sys admins and host their own stuff is out of touch if reality in my opinion.

Edit: just wanted to add, I wouldn’t say the problem is on the people, but on big tech that predates on them


I stopped using it after I was having many crashing issues (it was from upstream, but at the time upstream was already updated and it took weeks for them to release an update). Since Mull is just Firefox with a few settings changed I decided to use regular firefox, but it seems that on Android if you are really rad about privacy you should be using Vanadium (which unfortunately is Chromium based)


My biggest issue with Logsec is the CLA signing. I still use it but don’t feel like contributing to it anymore


This is a census so people probability answered they use ad blockers on the computer but they didn’t ask about mobile, I assume

Here’s where the report is.


Well, when I was learning I didn’t see any issue in using it. I also just learned they have a learning area


Can me and my spouse use the same account? Our Surfshark plan is expiring soon


I hate W3Schools and Geeksforgeeks, I have them blocked on my search lol

MDN all the way


The game I linked to you is literally made by two people.


I always forget GoG exists lol

What do they offer that steam doesn’t? Old games?


Proton plan as a couple (Family or Individual?)
Does anyone that pays for proton also use it with a SO? We've been looking to pay for it but the family plan looks like an overkill for us. The viable alternative is paying for the Mail Plus plan for each of us but we are a bit worried that we won't be able to share calendars. Would appreciate if someone else has the same use case as us and could share their experiences. Thanks!
