I also run a lot of proprietary stuff like Discord or Instagram due to peer pressure but I let it slide and put my hopes on Android sandboxing the apps and GrapheneOS tweaks. In my opinion, making sure that proprietary app can’t reliably access your data and never giving it anything sensitive yourself is a decent risk model.
The only proprietary software I use and somewhat trust is Obdisian. Honestly, it’s just excellent and I can’t see myself moving away from it anytime soon.
The problem I see with federated wikis is potential creation of echo chambers. Current Wikipedia is often a political tug-of-war between different ideological crowds. For instance, on Russian Wikipedia, Russian Civil War article is an infamous point of struggle between communist and monarchist sympathizers, who often have to settle at something resembling a compromise.
If both sides had their own wikis, each would have very biased interpretation of events. A person who identifies as either communist or monarchist would visit only the corresponding wiki, only seeing narrative that fits into their current world view, never being exposed to opposing opinions.
It’s Monocraft, monospaced version of Minecraft font, makes me very nostalgic. First tried it for fun and giggles, but it stuck
Pretty simplistic, but I really like it :)
Been using is for several months. Definitely VERY overpriced (I’d say $3-4/mo for a search engine would be fine, not $10), but the results are great, and I love the quick answer feature. It quickly summarizes info from top results, helped me a lot in college, where sometimes your brain is melting and you want the answer NOW.
Honestly if the color would be less vibrant and more washed out, it’d look great. I love to the floor has purple accents as well that match the furniture
Yeah fuck 'em ruskies, amirite? Gotta be so dumb to choose the wrong nationality at birth, jeansibelius didn’t make that mistake, look at him go! 😎😎😎

I’m sorry, but did you… read my comment?
I didn’t say clicking is power user, I said that you assessing features in terms of speed (“Is hovering faster than clicking?”) is a power user approach. It’s deeper than just bare speed and accessibility features are not developed to provide physically faster experience, but one that is more comfortable for some group of users.
Hovering preview does not even take ability to click through tabs away, but could provide comfort for a user who is not as browser proficient, for the reasons I outlined above.
I think it’s much easier to have more than to have less. Most people I encounter have such a mess of pages in their browser, makes my hair stand on end. If we continue to approach this as an accessibility feature, it starts to make even more sense since tons of users have so many tabs they only see icons, not page names
Again, in my opinion you approach the problem like a power user. Using a browser is not a speedrun where every millisecond matters. Here is why I think it provides more comfort to an average user:
I think many people in the comments suffer from some version of curse of knowledge.
Sure, this feature us quite irrelevant for a power user who is quick to navigate the browser and needs a split second to remember what tab it is simply by reading the header and seeing the icon.
However, many less proficient people can benefit from this feature. Not once I saw how someone who has 10 tabs open and needs to go to a different webpage, starts meticulously clicking through every single one of them because they have no idea how the page they are looking for is called, they are too overwhelmed by using web as a whole to take notice.
An additional thing you might want to look up is given color is a spectrum, some cultures have developed different sets of “basic colors” that are used in daily life.
For instance, Russian has a very common word “Голубой” which means light blue, and I personally remember being very confused as a kid learning English by a single word “Blue” presented in Eng. textbooks
I think you haven’t seen how notification bar of a typical android user over 40 looks like. It’s usually 3 meters of random application bloat, music/movie/audiobook ads and three different weather widgets.
Digital hygiene is something only a very small percentage of users follow, so such ad might as well work while surrounded by 5 other ads

Honestly it could be that developing and maintaining these region-locked differences in OS might be more expensive than saving every last penny from not allowing piracy (which is the real deal for this fuss).
Big majority of android users don’t sideload either, most people are so technically illiterate they don’t really grasp the idea of an App Store overall, it’s just a place for them the get an Instagram button on a new device
Distrobox saved my ass during Computer Systems course I took in college. We had to work with xv6 OS and I for the love of god couldn’t make it compile on either Arch or Debian.
After typing one command to set up an Ubuntu Distrobox container and waiting several minutes, it immediately compiled. Happy days
I think Matrix suffers from some issues with large communities, for instance Graphene OS has already had to abandon 2-3 of their main group chats due to same bug and last time I checked (2-3 months ago) there has even been talks of switching to Discord. That is, just in case, a community of some of the most diehard privacy nerds btw
For me, logout+login fixed all the issues. I thought it was broken too until I tried last night
“mogging” is a relatively recent meme representing a situation where one person next to others has radically better looks in some way or another, supposedly creating a subconscious atmosphere of their superiority. Typical examples are photos of bodybuilders next to regular people.
