Ah, PC Gaming Wiki, what a fantastic resource. Made realize how many games in my libraries are actually DRM-free
So my fear of sharks has gotten better, and I don’t quite understand why.
Curious 🏳️⚧️
But anyhow, you’ve probably found me because you’ve seen one of my totally inconspicuous comments
I’m open to chat about these and other related things over on Matrix

Yeah. And I bet most, if not all of them would’ve been a lot happier with that feature. It makes things so much easier, so much more flexible.
It’s 2024 and GIMP will only now be getting the ability to do non-destructive editing through adjustment layers. It has been fine for many simple tasks, but for anything that’s more complex than a Lemmy shitpost, it’s been rough for that reason alone
It’s definitely more convoluted, but uBlock Origin can also selectively block pretty much anything, really. That being said, whatever tool you use, blocking any third party stuff per default is always a good start, to see how well any given site can work without it. Tells you a lot already
Firefox (at least on Android), actually violates the GDPR for connecting to Adjust without user consent.
So no need to look further for any privacy shenanigans, this is unbelievably disappointing, coming from Mozilla.
That breaks anonymity, not privacy
Noyb is publishing their articles in both German and English. Good source for news on the latest legal fuckeries of Big Tech and the like
If the content on a site is important enough for me to bookmark it, I’ll likely make a local copy for exactly that reason. I want to be able to go back to this information whenever I want, with or without internet access
Oh, we’ve been through this though. Which other platform will ever have the cash to be a real contender here?
Kinda sounds like it doesn’t like whatever your phine is doing to optimize background battery usage
It’s a pretty helpful tool, but I still prefer running an LLM locally, even though it’ll take a while to answer, then
Yeah, I absolutely do not understand why they do it, makes no sense
It’s nice that the option exists, I didn’t know that. But I have to say, I’m still not a fan of the overall concept of bridges
You don’t. Have to check yourself, at least I didn’t see another way
Guess they’ll just aquire Cryptpad next
Proton Calendar can be downloaded directly from their site, for whatever reason
The whole point of the Beeper App is to let them handle everything, though.
And even if you self-host, you’re still breaking encryption and have to make sure everything is properly secured.
The encryption can’t be end-to-end anyway. If you send messages between services with different encryption protocols, then you trust Beeper to decrypt your message mid-transit, to then re-encrypt it with the protocol of the recipient.
Be so nice to notify your contacts about breaking e2ee then, will ya
Like the other reply said, Lineage doesn’t do a whole lot in terms of degoogling. I quite enjoy DivestOS, it’s a project that takes Lineage as a base and strips out as much Google and proprietary code as possible.
In fact, it’s so Google-free that neither sandboxed Play Services nor MicroG are officially supported, though the latter can still be installed and used just fine, though with a few drawbacks.
Same as Lineage, it runs on more devices, but certain features like bootloader relocking depend on the phone.
