  • Different threat models have different necessities. I believe a regular user should avoid Google ( or rather all of GAFAMBATX) connections at all costs. I think everybody (me included, of course) is better off with a dumbphone than a Degoogled phone.

    It's obvious we have different opinions, I respect your right to run any system as you want. I don't think I have any more to contribute to this topic.

  • What do you mean by trusting? I trust Mozilla to increase the executives wages at the cost of everybody in the organisation. I trust that they'll incorporate more and more features I find unwanted. Privacy-wise I haven't trusted Mozilla since telemetry was opt-out. Security wise I haven't trusted any browser for decades.

    Each to their own, I hope you're happy with your setup.

  • Ecosia, the "green" search engine with AI chat. Perfect match for Firefox, the browser ever more integrated with AI technology.

    I've just given up on Mozilla, using Cromite after a decade of Firefox/Fennec on desktop and mobile had been such an upgrade.

  • I just want more apps to support sync-to-file so they're compatible with Syncthing.

    Home server with in/out VPN, system auto - back up, hosting FreshRSS just to "subscribe" and sync YouTube channels. Why can't NewPipe at least just add auto backup at the very least. Sigh.

  • What sort of performance are you looking for? I run NC's from Raspberry Pi's, no problem.

  • I know, that's why I advocate for going Google free from the outset.

  • SMS for everybody not on a self-hostable encrypted messenger. Why fool oneself into thinking a US managed messenger is private?

  • Usually I'm more involved when my face is planted on someone's tits but I'll allow it.

  • Many Japan businesses still require official documents to be endorsed using carved personal stamps called hanko, despite the government's efforts to phase them out.

    Please submit your résumé in cuneiform.

  • How many truckers play them trucker simulators, how many farmers play them farmer simulations and how many dictators play Civilization?

    There's a market.

  • How could you, where are the two nipple dots?!

  • De-googling is not enough, there must be nothing to de-Google from the start.

  • Syncthing is like a base layer for a personal P2P system, beyond the basic file sync I use Syncthing to sync Joplin Notes, Money Manager Ex, KeePass, RetroShare and what ever else I can.

  • Imagine not compromising my morals cost me a lot. Time after time. But as someone with a strong consciousness, I know it will cost me more to compromise on my personal values. It's just that it's not a monetary cost.

    You sound like an economical slave, why do you accept the situation?

  • I love 2077 but CDPR keeps on ruining my modded excellence with worthless patches. I wish they'd just give up and leave it to the many amazing modders to add content and fixes. 🤷‍♂️

  • I've quit jobs because of ethical concerns before, these people don't make a living just like me.

  • I haven't considered Google android as usable for like a decade, went down the custom ROM route and it's the best thing I've ever done when it comes to mobile use.

    Being able to install what ever operating system I want is a hard make or break for me when it comes to purchases ever since.

  • We get further with pitchforks, torches and a smile than with just a smile.
