That seems like a small price to pay to have a dark magician girl decal in people’s faces in bumper to bumper traffic lol.

This is exactly what I do too. I started half a year ago and have no regrets yet.

I’m not completely sure, but doesn’t Bitwarden encrypt all data before it reaches the server? That means the server implementation is a bit less important. I guess you probably don’t want to be leaking even encrypted databases though since there is a chance they could be cracked.

This is literally me, except I left a comment here earlier today and when I saw the thread for a second time when looking at a reply, I also thought it was about Proton alla Wine.

I use Discord, though only in a web browser and only for semi-public chats. I might be using Discord less if I had gotten some friend groups onto something like Matrix.

Unlike a car which is bought once and is mostly outside of vendor control once you have it, Proton mail is a service that requires continuous trust in the company since they offer a service. This means I no longer trust Proton as much, which makes me much less inclined to use their services.

Same result here. I’m using Gnome-web, which is already pretty niche, so that probably really lowers my score.

You can use Waydroid on PostmarketOS to install Android apps. It basically runs a full VM for you.

Yes. I’ve only tested it manually scanning to save battery life though.

There is also a FOSS app called Airguard on F-Droid that I found works well.

Fairphone’s support of PostmarketOs shows me that they actually care about their mission.

DivestOS is pretty awesome. It allows for bootloader locking, which Lineage can’t do IIRC and it runs very fast on my Pixel 2 xl.

Exactly this. I use Signal for people close to me and SMS or Email for those who don’t use signal, who I don’t have coversations with often anyways. Dispite it’s many, many flaws, I will use SMS before I use a Meta messenger.

This is my dream setup for messaging as well. My problem is that I would not trust 3rd parties to host this setup, but I also have not gotten around to setting it up myself lol.

I did not realize “spezit” was “spez” and “reddit” until I reread your commnt lol. I thought was some reddit privacy frontend with the German pronunciation of “z”.

Because once you learn how to switch browsers once, you already know what the process of changing browsers looks like and what to expect, removing the barriers if you switch again.

It’s like switching from Windows to Ubuntu. Sure, Ubuntu is not perfect, but by installing Ubuntu, you have already learned the process of installing a linux distro and what to expect if you decide to install a different one.

Brave has a built-in adblocker and is not Chrome. If a user is able to make the switch to Brave, they might find it easier when they try to switch to something better like Librewolf or Firefox.

While that is one possible reason, lets keep an open mind for any other possible ways that the comment gained votes.

It also has bootloader locking for some devices, which is a plus.

Cell jammers for everyone!

Here is the original source if you are interested.

Look to Minecraft servers like Hypixel for how anticheat should be done. You can completely hack your client, but your every movement is scrutinized by the server and only the data you need is received. This cripples what cheating can allow you to do without using client side anticheat and still enabling mods that improve quality of life.

It’s a meta search engine: it aggregates results from multiple sources for your search query. So yes, it queries other search engines.

Libredirect is awesome.

Isn’t FUTO an organization that named their keyboard application after themselves?

LVRA is a great source of Linux VR info. Wivrn is easiest to setup using envision. Its biggest disadvantage is that it uses a translation layer for OpenVR games, though it works pretty well.

Have you tried using Wivrn instead of ALVR? I found it to work way better. Also, I don’t think the Bigscreen beyond is well supported yet on Linux.

From a privacy point of view, it makes pefect sense to not share your phone number with a merchant. The only buisness you have with them is a single transaction, they don’t need any more information about you other than knowing that you paid.

That’s where I think android’s biggest advantage lies: the staggering amount of high quality, no bullshit FOSS apps available.

Having a removable and upgradable wireless module makes sense given Framework’s ethos. Wifi is being constantly developed with new versions which makes it worthwhile to make upgradable wifi modules. Last time I checked you could even save some money by not including a wireless modules on the Intel models.

I personally went with a yubikey because their form factor is pretty slick. I’m not to worried about damaging the key.

Ah yes, charging money for not using a service, makes perfect sense! /s

Crypto currency built in and not open source.

As you’ve probably heard, it’s basically just NVidia with shitty drivers. They are getting better but are not included in many distros (they can usually be added through the package manager pretty easily) since they are proprietary. Intel and AMD generally work out of the box for gaming. NVidia drivers are bad enough that I sold my 2060 for an ARC a750 just because of the drivers lol.

I have one and opted for a Oneplus 6 running postmarketOS because of the pinephone’s many shortcomings:

• Terrible battery life when on, though can last on standby
• Phone has terrible performance. It is frustrating to do basic tasks because it is too slow.
• It gets uncomfortably hot when using it.

Some things I liked:

• Screen was fine
• All the phone hardware features work (unlike my op6)
• Plastic back makes the phone pretty rugged.

I might have stayed with the pinephone if it was more powerful like the pro, and might have brought a battery bank so I don’t have to worry about running out.

That’s seems like a good idea, considering the plethora of videos online of packages being stolen with an obvious camera watching the thieves.

bro, just use firefox or Librewolf or something.

That and it has full functionality in the browser. No bullshit “download the app”.

I find phone images too always look overprocessed, specifically sharpened and denoised.

For instance, it includes a bunch of extensions by default with gnome.
