Always love to see dropout in the wild. I know they’ve been here the whole time but its still nice to see



Even without direct support for alt text, you can achieve the same result by posting it all in the post body.


I mean this is literally the purpose of alt text, so that you can share an image and its description (which in this case should contain all the text from the image) and screen readers can do their thing.


I’m getting two different arguments from you, and I can’t tell which one is your actual argument

  • grapheneOS is not as good as people think

Or

  • people act like grapheneOS is the only option for a solid privacy experience

To the first argument, its just kinda… Wrong? Grapheneos is very transparent about what it is and is not, and what it is is an excellent security focused os which can be a great basis for you to have a privacy focused experience as long as you don’t install spyware like Instagram and Gmail.

To the second argument, yeah, I get that. People acting like its the only option are either misinformed, falling for bias, or intentionally being disingenuous. Its very good, and almost certainly one of the best ways to have a privacy focused experience, but you’re not delusional if you want to use something else. There’s plenty of talented people building upon the already great basis that AOSP provides. But by the same token, community members being silly or fanatical doesn’t really make the operating system any worse.


“Let others suffer with ads so I can have a cost-free browsing experience”

I’d much rather pay to support platforms that enrich my browsing experience, than continue allowing the ad-fuelled, spyware ridden, clickbait filled internet to continue even one more day.

Ad blockers for all, until we don’t need them anymore!


People fitting the bill:

  • Lena Raine (Celeste)
  • Disasterpeace (FEZ, Hyper Light Drifter)
  • Darren Korb (Bastion, Transistor, Hades)
  • C418 (I refuse to believe you don’t know)
  • Toby Fox (Undertale, Deltarune)
  • eebrozgi (Void Stranger)
  • DANGER (Furi)
  • Austin Wintory (Journey, ABZU)
  • Lifeformed and Janice Kwan (Tunic)
  • Andrew Prahlow (Outer Wilds, OW: Echoes of the Eye)
  • Gareth Coker (Ori and the Blind Forest, Will of the Wisps)

Don’t forget the dire environmental impact of pretty much every cryptocurrency!


My understanding is that this Arkenfox thing is a script that changes the config of your existing Firefox install. A fork would be a version of Firefox you can download that has those changes applied by default upon download.


I can imagine the keyboard controls sucking.

And yeah, those messages are exactly the thing that makes the vibe so cozy. You’re failing again and again and the game keeps encouraging you, believing in you.


Oh hell yes. The game pushes you to heights you never thought you’d achieve. And its there to catch you every time you fall.


I think that farewell and the c-sides are some of the most enjoyable, challenging, and rewarding gaming experiences I’ve ever had. Keep it up!


Celeste! One of the best games ever made, with a flawless Linux native version


Windows defender along with a system hardener (like hard_configurator) can actually be quite insanely strong, especially since windows defender starts working and blocking stuff long before non-system apps, which can be a big boon. This approach is also free (if you have windows) which seems to fit your needs!




Um, how about no? Love DDG but good lord are we just supposed to take openai’s word for this privacy? Lol


Signal and grapheneos are the projects I make regular contributions to in the privacy sphere - £5/mo each

It ain’t privacy related but make sure u donate to trans charities xoxoxo
