Or normalizing the practice of choosing your own name if you don’t like yours. (though maybe that wouldn’t work well for younger kids)

I think they do about the same thing.

Yeah, I use librewolf which does that. However I also like this because it’s a totally separate app so I can just swipe with three fingers between my workspaces to access it.

Why? No more so than a normal browser.

Never heard of them but quick research makes me think sorta. These all seem to be mobile apps but this is for linux desktop. It keeps all these sites in one app as opposed to just making a desktop shortcut.

I’ve been on the waitlist for a while and am excited to get through. It may suck but it’s worth testing. The privacy issues aren’t ideal but it doesn’t seem like they sell your data.

I think the more peers there are the faster it is.

I wonder if IPFS could have a part in this? We’ll find a solution.

It was a funny meme while it lasted.

I’m a diehard firewatch fan if you’d like a slightly spooky, heart full, storytelling masterpiece about the Wyoming forest. Everyone should play this game at some point.

How different is that than buying 100% fruit juice from the supermarket? Like does it really taste different.

I know, I misquoted the article. Sorry!

True, but they are 100% still grifting us. (IMO)

Just FYI vanillaOS is an awesome system to suggest to both new users and experienced ones. None of the snap BS but still based on Ubuntu. It also makes it really hard to mess up your system. Vanilla Gnome too. Check it out.

Can we refrain from using the R slur please?

Guy was just converted into a FOSS nerd. Give it a few months and he’ll own a thinkpad with a custom i3 rice and be saying “I use arch btw”.

Jokes aside, I think apple is a terrible company. Sure, their products are amazing but they’re grossly overpriced and not FOSS or compatible with anything else.

The iphone 14 pro max costs $464 to make and retails for $2000. That’s not innovation, that’s grifting. Besides, the main difference between the Iphone 11 and 14 is the price (no, the camera is not that much better, i don’t care what you say).

Apple also intentionally gatekeeps their products (Vender Lock-in) making the experience worse for everyone who doesn’t own Apple products. They could adopt the open standard that all other phones use for texting (MMS I think it’s called) but instead they use imessage to make your experience worse when texting people with Androids. This also makes it hard to switch to an Android even if it’s better. And don’t even get me started on the charger situation.

Also, they use privacy as a branding statement but we have no way to verify that claim. They could be selling all our data and be well within their rights. If they were open source we would be able to verify that claim.

I can’t really talk though because I own a (refurbished) Iphone. I do this because a) the messaging system and b) my whole family is in the apple ecosystem (with no way out) so I get benefits of our family plan like tons of storage.

True. I’m definitely not their target audience. SearXNG is great bc if configured right I get great results that aren’t too cluttered. I’d rather have it hosted by someone I can trust (a friend of a friend runs the instance I use) and not have to worry about it. I’m not against payed services but I do hate subscriptions except for when they’re truly necessary.

I understand that it’s a lot of work but I’m sorry, a starting plan of $5 per month is WAY to much. I’ll just use searxng.

Of course we would have to fix that major issue with all of America. Car centric cities are simply terrible.
