People who make these videos also buy views to appear interesting, until organic views are consistent

For people I don't know or just started talking, I give them my telegram username that's not linked to my personal phone number. For friends and family, I use signal.

Lots of opensource projects have telegram channels for updates. Not to mention news and local updates as well.

People need to incorporate a social aspect of the real world. Everyone isn't as privacy conscious as you are and you can have multiple apps for different scenarios.

If you don't ever want to meet anyone new, signal is perfect.

Floorp Browser, the most Advanced and Fastest Firefox derivative

Are there any benchmarks?

what are the differences between Insular and Shelter?

that just makes spamming, vote manipulation, astroturfing, brigading, more easier.

tldr; Zuck cares about engagement, not people.

unfortunately, that's a problem with most custom launchers.

the instance hosted by you is going to be the most privacy friendly.

you have to trust someone else in any other instance.

The list contains addons that were last updated 3-4 years ago.

uMatrix has been archived since 2021.

How are developers going to update them for mobile when they arent even maintined for desktop?

you can't follow it but you can save it with the star icon and come back to it later.

do they remove stories and other bloat?

holy fuck! that's being racist for no reason at all

Here you go: https://archive.is/c3esF

I use Telegram for the random chatter but it's getting bloated ever since they added premium features. I understand they have to make money, but some features like stories can't be disabled at all, and they're selling group names with crypto. Matrix is looking a lot better moving forward.

Still have the OG Pixel XL for unlimited image/video backup. Released in 2016. battery doesn't last long, a little burn in but still works well with Android 10.

Just taking a wild guess here. Maybe they're bound to the screen width of the device rather than pixels? so they stay the same

layers and layers of it.

Google claims to do some processing on their own tensor chip locally so it might reduce some data being sent to Google, but it doesn't limit them from tracking you. With Pixel, you are only being tracked by Google and not Samsung or other manufacturer

They say it’s to stop people from stealing iPhones to sell for parts.

There's an easy fix to this. Allow users to mark their devices as broken/dead in their (icloud?) system, so its parts can be extracted and used for genuine repair. Put it behind 2FA, email confirmation, and require purchase invoice, or whatever to make it happen. To counter edge cases, give a month for appeal, only then mark it safe for usage of its parts on other phones. A trillion dollar company should be able to implement this, but they're trillion dollar company for a reason, so yea...

Thiefs don't have access to the accounts inside a locked phone, let alone the invoice of purchase.

No, they only announced plans to work together with devs to make the transition to mobile easier. It wasn't a "all addons will work on Firefox android" announcement. Hopefully most popular addons transition
