Yeah sort of. I have a “to-read” folder of anything I’ve been meaning to read (believe it or not, it constantly grows and rarely shrinks…) and I use my top-level bookmarks bar for stuff to look at, usually cool FOSS projects I stumble across and want to try out. I don’t use it the exact way you talk about though, eg I usually don’t edit the bookmark name but the webpage title is usually descriptive enough for me.
I assume any Linux or *BSD distro will work, especially one with Docker (which is most/all of them?) so you don’t have to worry about things being packaged for your distro so long as there’s a docker image. My server is Alpine Linux.
Once got a wrong number text from a human on Signal but that’s it
Oh you mean without downloading the files. I thought you just meant cloud sync. Yeah I have my entire Nextcloud downloaded and the folder is synced by the daemon, so I do just use the files as normal local files. Never tried without downloading all the files
Nextcloud works that way for me. I access my Nextcloud files at ~/nextcloud without any hitch, and changes sync immediately. You do have to self-host, but I’m sure there are also some public instances you can use. I know Disroot hosts one.
The reason why Fairphone charges so much is because their selling point is ethics, and they claim they put sustainability of raw materials and fair pay for workers first. Whether or not they check that goal, companies like Google, Apple, etc definitely keep their prices low by paying workers in the global south pennies.
Thank you!
Can someone give me a rundown (or link to a good one) of a comparison between subsonic, jellyfin, plex, and these other services that let you host your own streaming service?
growflating
Still inflation… (Also not sure what “growflating” would even mean)
How long before some big tech corpo appropriates it and advertises one of their products as “not enshittified” or whatever
Uh weird! Others said it’s possible to do it.
Huh. Possibly it is and I just don’t know about it then? At the very least it doesn’t change purely based off wallpaper. It doesn’t change based on Material You colours either. If they’re customisable some other way then I don’t know about it.
I asked the color, I know I can’t change the icons without a launcher
Yeah I was including colour changing as an icon change. The colours don’t change based on wallpaper nor are they customisable in default launcher.
So I can make a new profile, name it(?) “FUCK GOOGLE” and install the google play app there. Not sure if I’ll ever use it but I know I can do it
Yep, GOS profiles (and maybe Android profiles, not used stock Android in so long so I wouldn’t know) act like a completely different phone basically, so you can have GPlay installed in one profile and it won’t affect the other profiles at all.
Been exclusively using GrapheneOS for ages, never had any problems. It’s very easy to install (especially now they have a WebUSB installer) and even easier to use.
Forge her? I barely know her!
I know it’s officially for-hey-oe, but I always say forge + joe cause I find it easier. I used to say “forjo” (like “forge” ending in an “o”, or “for joe” sped up) as well.
OSS Document Scanner is the PDF scanner I use. Works completely fine for my purposes.
Last 4 or so phones have all been GrapheneOS (I’m not buying new phones all the time to be clear; I use phones till they break; I’m just a long-time user) and yeah I’ve really had no problems to speak of. I currently have a separate profile with Play services for certain apps, and also just to isolate non-privacy-respecting apps that I have to have installed for whatever reason.
Almost all the apps I use are FOSS apps who are aware that a significant amount of their userbase will be using various AOSP forks so I’ve not run into any app compatibility issues. Even back when I used banking apps, I’d used 4 different banks’ apps on GrapheneOS and all of them worked completely fine. Now I don’t have a banking app because I won’t install proprietary software unless I actually have to for some reason, and I can bank on the web just fine.
“datum” is the singular, but you’re right that it’s not really grammatically plural since you’d say “the data was stolen” not “the data were stolen”. I think the latter would technically also be valid; my interpretation would be that the latter is “countable” plural, so there are specific discrete datums that were stolen.
I wouldn’t say that I go to the effort of making myself unidentifiable, but my “defaults” are with relative anonymity and privacy in mind anyway, ie donations in Monero, anti-fingerprinting, VPN, lack of persistent browser storage, full disk encryption. So I guess I don’t take steps because my regular browsing is already reasonably private, private enough that I don’t feel the need to take extra steps for minor shit like buying drugs online or donating to things. I do take extra steps to make sure there’s no simple way something can be traced to me for more serious stuff but I don’t think making a donation to a piracy website is serious.
In terms of using paypal, unless it’s illegal or criminalised to donate to piracy in your country, it should be fine too. Normally it’s just actually pirating (or sometimes only distributing) that’s illegal so donating shouldn’t be prosecutable, again unless that actually is a law where you live.
I guess you could keep your phone in a faraday bag and take it out when you need to make a payment. But then you’d be liable to be charged any time you have your phone out, unless you go out of your way to remove the card from the case, which defeats the point.
