  • I started using it a while ago. One big difference between iOS and android version. Android version is published by voodoo. Also, because of Adblock, I did not know or notice that it has ads. And my posts are only visible to friends for a day , not strangers for ever.

    Do you know anything else , like what data they might collect?

  • Google be Like : just use Google Drive

    What if , no….

  • Ok, give me a while. Maybe I can post it in a couple hours. Need to clean up my location and names

    Action Button Shortcut

    I actually use the action button on a daily basis.

    It’s a fork from someone’s super action buttons shortcut that outputs a list view of commonly used commands and apps. But I added some nice to have tweaks. First , I test for internet connectivity, get the current location and the current focus mode and iPhone orientation and if the phone is locked or not. Now if I press the action button. If I am at a Bus/Train Station, my Ticket in the Wallet opens. If I am at home in my bed, the TV Remote opens. If I am at the University, the Uni Application opens. If I am at work, my To Do list opens. If the screen is locket or turned upside down, it toggles the silent mode. If none of the criteria are met, the shortcut list opens.

    If you want to see it , I can prepare a version with removed personal information.

    Edit : Now on my GitHub https://github.com/LeTak0/ActionButton

    And the direct link https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/79c4a5c75ed24b3e8c00f5439a766a4c

  • Ok looks interesting, it is missing a Mac/iOS version but else, pretty promising. Only downside is, that it looks hard to recommend for family and friends that are not tech savvy.

  • Did you look at SailfishOS (Linux Smartphone) It supports Android App virtualization.

  • I like your thinking. Here an example why password manager make sense. If you would use the same password at every website and one of the would be for example Facebook, and they would get breached. Your password associated with your username and email , is now know to some hacker group. And in case of Facebook, the password is not hashed , it was stored in plain text. Now they have fun to try different websites with combinations of your name , email and password.

    Alternatively a password manager stores for every website a different password, and your only mission is to keep that manager secure with a good , rememberable password.

    Also , what I do , is using an email alias service. So I have a different Password and Email for each account. I don’t have to care if something gets breached, I am safe and aware of what information gets stolen.

    And for future, we could all use passkeys and FIDO2 to block most phishing attempts.

  • You can disable the most bloat and remove the ads. After that , it is a very good Chrome alternative. If you have to use chromium based browsers. Feel free to name a better one that has adblocking (after manifest v3) and fingerprint protection.

  • Giving it a try is most of the time the first step. I tried GrapheneOS , used it until my device no longer received updates. Then Google Pixels got disappointing and iOS 14/15 got out with big privacy changes, so I switched the first time to Apple. I know, ironic , but it works for me. I remove most permissions from apps, use my own DNS block list enforced by MDM and if possible, self host my apps and services or use paid / open source ones. I am here on Lemmy instead of Reddit or Instagram…. I also tried Jollas SailfishOS v3 , it was ok, but this was back at the time very limited for social interactions, now with v5 it would have been better. Also good to know, at my place , Apple Pay is one of the most secure and private pay systems…. I hate that, this feels wrong.

  • Tried the Privacy Activist and Enthusiast section. Was not really fun and you loose connection to most of your friends and family. Now I have a balanced setup with something out of each layer. Perfect balanced, as things should be

  • I guess then that you have gotten 0 points.

  • 9 Points. Can you guess how old I am with that info?

  • Just different persons / mindsets. I bought a Prusa and in the first month replaced and modded everything I know of. Stabilizing it , replacing extruder gears and the nozzle , fine tuned some print settings. Why? I have fun doing so. And the time. Other people don’t, and that is completely fine.

  • Maybe a little out of context but this reminds me of the Sony Helldiver 2 situation. If people get loud enough they can infect change things. No one got loud or boycotted games that had Kernel level AntiCheat , this could have been avoided. Same with Bamboo I guess, if people still buy them after the Firmware and Cloud thing , it probably will happen again.

  • Many people don’t care about FOSS or don’t know the benefits, they just want a NOW working product. Many belief in the goodness that nothing bad will happen, and if something happens, they still can switch. I often have this discussion with other colleagues and friends, it’s an endless debate of price , features , comfort and support. As long as there is both on the market , why argue? People can buy what fits their needs.

  • They try to keep it as simple as possible so that really everyone can start printing if they like to. For our luck, we got companies like Prusa and Creality that still allow modifications and have a big community.

  • Oh sorry. Did not know that.

  • Apple Music can be replaced with Cider on Linux. Many use iTunes on windows for device management, the only thing that I know for this on linux is libimobiledevice.

    DS Widescreen/Upscale

    Just a reminder that this thing exists. I use it for all my DS games and it is a new experience to see them in Widescreen and upscaled on the 3DS screen.
