  • True, but I think it would help to have both in the same layout.

    Thanks for the recommendation!

  • I've wanted to learn Colemak, but I would also need a swipe keyboard with predictions for Android.

  • One only needs to look at the history of fascist regimes to know how that plays out.

  • Indeed. Putin is the root cause of this crisis.

  • "I don't want to drag NATO into that" is not exactly a smackdown. It's a polite refusal to support the idea.

  • I'm using Floorp on desktop. Zen is nice as well. And Ironfox on Android.

  • Lord of the Rings made a prequel series.

    No, they did not. Some braindead company made an abomination. Tolkien is still turning in his grave.

  • Any European alternatives?

  • Note that the motion is not against the idea of ReArm Europe, but opposes financing it with Eurobonds.

  • Don't use Google, use Startpage.com instead, and add "lemmy" to your search terms.

  • You are right, of course. But that is deeply concerning.

  • And I don't understand why anyone is allowing them to do this. It's clearly anti-democratic abuse.

  • Use old.reddit and uBlock Origin and you see none of that. Alternatively, use Stealth: https://gitlab.com/cosmosapps/stealth on Android.

    I do feel morally bad about using Reddit, so I try to wean myself off it, and fill my browsing time with Feddit/Lemmy and Mastodon.

  • I found that Mastodon has a lot more international content. Tho that could also be a function of who you choose to follow there.

  • That just means they need to open more places to vote. One shouldn't have to go far or wait more than a few minutes in order to vote. That the US allows these scandalous practices is beyond belief.

  • I would say no. With the recent debacle the writing is on the wall. Mozilla is not taking our privacy seriously. So, I have switched away from vanilla Firefox.

    I would recommend using a fork instead: LibreWolf, or Floorp, or Zen; and Ironfox on Android. Mullvad Browser is another option.

  • Firefox has effectively become spyware, and so, yes, it should be replaced. There are several forks that work well. I'm using Floorp (stupid name, but really nice with some improvements over vanilla Firefox). Zen is another one gaining in popularity. Try them out! Don't let Mozilla walk away with your data.

    • Just like Google it has an app and a web interface. Seeing that OP is looking to replace Google and didn't mention self-hosting, this seems a good fit.
    • Proton does provide e2e encryption.
    • What does US citizens using it have to do with anything? Proton is not based in the US.
    • Your last point is a maybe and remains to be tested in practice. If this is a concern, then take it into account.

    For me personally it is more important that my data doesn't get mined by a big company, and that I use European services as much as possible, and preferably open source. Proton is a good fit for me, and may be for OP.

  • I like Proton. It's secure, with end-to-end encryption. It is web-based, just like Google, so accessible anywhere. It has an eye-pleasing design. And it's based in Europe.

  • Oh, it's perfectly clear. We got the message. Mozilla are not to be trusted with our data.
