but why?

You can kinda get autofill via a program called rofi-rbw on Wayland desktops (using wtype), but I found at least on Hyprland it often misses the field or the start of the password. I’d like to see a more consistent solution but definitely not via the official Electron app…

I’m using a reMarkable Linux tablet and it’s been awesome. There’s a bunch of apps ported to it if you’re okay with using an older software release, and they give you full root access. Not FOSS or open hardware like Pine64 but really good experience and does not feel too limited.

I use this and love it! I can’t remember whether it was a “FairEmail Pro” feature though (one-time donation to unlock pro features). Regardless it works great.

I self host Whoogle and it’s a really nice interface. However, recently is has started to take longer and longer to load, sometimes giving up and returning a 502 error. If you don’t run into that however, it’s super nice!

If you just need to get updates from accounts, there are Mastodon services that auto-mirror Twitter accounts. I use bird.makeup to follow a few gamedevs that have yet to move.

I use Bitwarden and, though all the features are very nice (self hosted Vaultwarden), the clients are really bad. The autofill is super inconsistent on Android. The app takes 20s+ to load on my Pixel 3a. You can’t trigger a sync from the quick autofill menu, you have to open the full app. The “desktop app” is just an embedded browser. I really want to like it, but it doesn’t make it easy.

I don’t understand where and how I need to file complaints. I live in France and Belgium, and have encountered several large and popular websites which enforce a “cookie wall”. This does not appear to respect the cookie law.

I’m really looking forward to seeing it actually applied. I hope it uses Matrix for interop as I understand it would make bridges an official “feature” rather than a TOS-breaking unreliable hack. I hope it gets applied to Discord as well, since my university requires me to be in their guild so I’ve had to create an account and install the app. I also hope to see calls covered, so I can call people from Matrix who are on Facebook Messenger, for example.

Any keyboard with no internet permission should be “privacy-respecting”, as it can’t (as I understand it) send any data back to the developers. I’m personally a big fan of Unexpected Keyboard, though it’s definitely something to get used to.
