It’s a nice feature for those that actively enable it and know that it’s enabled, but not for the average user. Most people never change the default settings. Firefox breaking stuff by default would only decrease their market share even further. And this breaks so much stuff. Weird stuff. The average user wants a browser that “just works” and would simply just switch back to Chrome if their favourite website didn’t work as expected after installing Firefox. Chrome can be used by people who don’t even know what a browser is.

First of all, why?

Secondly, I absolutely love it.

I love this. It’s on F-Droid

It’s the reason I stopped using Stremio but it’s also the reason why it remains legal in some countries. Popcorn Time had an option to enable/disable seeding on the settings. I really wish Stremio had the same.

I want to keep my ratio above 10, so I use a combination of several other things to replace Stremio on Android TV. It’s a lot less polished but I get a good feeling from seeding.

The idea lives on. You can use Stremio with Torrentio.

I already used Infinity for Reddit (which Eternity is based on) so it made the migration from Reddit to Lemmy really smooth for me.

I use several sources in the hopes of getting a more complete picture. I sometimes select categories like “Europe” on these sites but here are the ones I have bookmarked and use the most. I try to use mostly reliable sources.

Inb4 anyone start saying mean things to eachother. There are a lot of people who have very strong opinions on this.

Btw the people who think it ISN’T can eat shit.

Fire

• If you ignored the smell, maybe your house would burn down.

Electrocution

• If you for example tried to disassemble your power supply.

Blunt trauma

• If you have a big computer on a shelf it might fall and land on you.

This is especially dangerous if you’re a data hoarder. It’s a slippery slope that can result in you scalping stuff like old DVRs for drives. Your computer might get very heavy.

I export my contacts as a file and copy it to my pc, an external HDD and several cloud providers. Anything I store in the cloud is encrypted with Rclone first. There is a nice client available for Android. I don’t pay for cloud storage so I only use the free tiers.

I guess this is only practical if you rarely make changes to your contacts.

I’m Norwegian. I feel like we are bribing all of you with a 10 dollar bill in hopes that you don’t ask why we are sitting on a pile of 100 dollar bills. As a large exporter of oil and gas we make shitloads of money from fucking up the planet on several levels. So much of what we sell end up as microplastics, air pollution or worse.

We also make money on war.

The invasion of Ukraine affected the prices and made us an EXTRA 150000000000 USD just in 2022. Many Norwegians wanted to give it to Ukraine but we ended up keeping it. It’s disgusting.

I know :( They also removed the 3.5 mm port. It’s getting harder and harder to find a phone with good hardware in my opinion. Makers of phones largely focus on improving stuff I don’t care about.

Yeah, I should be using GrapheneOS. It is the better OS. I absolutely agree. I just don’t like the hardware.

I want a small (max 71 mm width) phone with lots of local storage, a 3.5mm port, card slot, replaceable battery, optical fingerprint sensor, plastic back, IR port and wireless charging.

I understand that I can’t get all of this in 2025, but I’m trying to at least get as much as possible. That’s why I’m probably going to end up getting a Fairphone 6 when it comes out and use CalyxOS.

That’s not the official site. It has an old version (July 2024) and the file might contain malware. You can safely download the latest version from GitHub and find their updated guide there.

If you don’t want to use Github, you can use the site they have linked to which is https://smarttubeapp.github.io/

I use Joplin. The functionality is nice, but visually the app looks a little outdated in my opinion. It’s worth it though.

I also prefer Signal, but I think the point here is that Delta Chat is decentralized.

CalyxOS is based on LineageOS, so it’s very similar. microG is not included though, so you have to install that yourself if you want it. You can’t get Datura on LineageOS but it’s based on LineageOS’s firewall which is kinda similar but more basic.

LineageOS does not come with Gapps. So LineageOS is basically a good clean Android experience and CalyxOS is the privacy focused fork. Both are waaaaay more private than the version of Android installed from the factory but CalyxOS makes privacy a bit easier.

It’s pretty common to use red and green when comparing AMD and NVIDIA. It’s based on the company’s branding. Some refer to them as team red and team green.

I’m also looking for this. I’ll probably end up buying a Fairphone 6 when it comes out and use CalyxOS, but I have looked at alternatives.

These require using LineageOS:

The Asus Zenfone 8 is from 2021. It’s 148 x 68.5 x 8.9 mm and has ok specs. I don’t do anything demanding anyway.

The Sony Xperia 5 V is from 2023. It’s 154 x 68 x 8.6 mm and has good specs, but is expensive.

The Samsung Galaxy S10e is from 2019. It’s 142.2 x 69.9 x 7.9 mm and has below average specs (compared to modern phones). This is my favorite phone. I used this before my current one and miss it so much. I should have just changed the battery. I would pay lots of money for an S10e with a modern, more energy efficient processor and higher density battery.

Yup. Detoxing is necessary and totally works. Your liver and kidneys do absolutely nothing and are just there to fill up space. But remember that we are only allowed to say that something contains chemicals if we dislike it.

Probably unrelated
