  • Thanks for the input. I sometimes use another language but it's rare so I haven't been able to try to on here. However I agree. While not perfect, the autocorrect and text prediction for English is quite good! Ive been always going back to gboard but hoping this one is good enough to stay on. Ill update this post as I use it longer.

  • Assuming we are talking about Lemmy mobile apps, it depends. If you're on Android I highly recommend "eternity" for Lemmy. It's open sourced and very customizable and based on infinity for reddit. However, there are a ton of good apps otherwise. I recommend checking lemmys website for apps since they have apps listed. Just try a few until you find one that works for you.

  • I would argue all streaming services have gone to shit. I'm not saying I encourage anyone to pirate that doesn't want to. But I am saying i don't blame a single soul that does.

    As far as I'm concerned all those companies can go fuck themselves. They know that the less technical people will willingly keep paying so the ones they lose won't matter.

  • I'm not familiar with Blue sky, do they advertise as federated or how exactly do they claim to differ from a regular platform like original Twitter?

  • Adding to this, pipepipe (for YouTube) on f droid is amazing. Not sure where it's based but they do great work.

  • Yeah. I'm trying to compromise based on "threat level" but I'm also happy to try a way to f*** over the data tracking/profiling anyway I can. Lol

  • Awesome explanation. Thank you! I've been getting more into privacy and security here and there and I've also degoogled with graphene, run brave with strict blocking, VPN with ad blocking, etc. I knew JavaScript could be bad but never looked into it much. I may make that my next endeavor.

  • Pardon my ignorance but HTTPS certs can be middle manned? Could you give me a TLDR of how if you got some time?

  • Question on that topic, is blocking JavaScript generally advised in browser settings? I've tried it once or twice and noticed things like login buttons might not work. Any difference with using the extensions?

  • I will definitely check this out. Sounds really promising from the quick glimpse and most importantly, affordable.

    Edit: gesture typing made me type adorable lol.

  • Any specific ones to look into?

  • Not a contributing comment but just wanted to say:

    THIS IS THE WAY

    For those that needed to hear that.

  • Thanks for the advice. It isn't an end all if I can't get it to work in this way. Just thought I'd give it a try since I saw there was a helper script for Proxmox. I wasn't aware of the limitations that may come with this though. I guess either upgrading routers in the future for something for customizable may be a better option.

  • Both great questions. I did not check the hardware and I definitely should have..as far as passthrough I have not. I really only ran the helper script to install the Proxmox VM and configurations. I'll have to check the settings when I'm back home to see what exactly it did.

  • Well currently I have a nest wifi pro router that doesn't allow a lot of customization. (I used to be a Google fan). And since I had a beelink I figured I would try it. I was also wanting to be able to run a VPN on my router and the nest doesn't allow clients.

  • Lmaooooo great find. I wonder why exactly they had to clarify that? Maybe a semi Easter egg? Or a genuine concern? Thanks for sharing.

  • Do you know if this is all windows or specific versions/on specific hardware? That's such a weird thing to have effecting potentially all windows versions. Very interesting though, thanks for clarifying.

  • Not quite on topic but semi related... It's reasons like this that I started reading privacy policies many times before signing up for a service.

    People would be surprised at some of the extremely concerning things are listed in there. Some is for good reason but some stuff is absolutely unnecessary and should be an issue for some people.

  • I've heard PopOS/Linux Mint are great starters. I personally run ZorinOS which is based on Ubuntu. It's beautiful, had built in customization, and has a free version (I paid for the pro version because I liked it so much and wanted to support it).

    You'll find occasional headaches in all Linux distros just because it's not windows so compatibility can require work arounds depending what you wanna run. But it's worth it. Feels so much faster and in your control which is nice. Also if you screw up the distro you can just boot another distro from the flashdrive you used to install in the first place (keep the ISO handy just in case ;) ).
