Long story short, this year is my exam preparation year and due to my nature I will take extreme measures to prevent distraction and focus on studying. I will decommision my PC, stop browsing Linux & tech related websites and leave this beautiful place called Lemmy. To make things clear, I am not influenced by anyone for doing...
startisback++, files community and more projects are all paid
But there is lots of nice software you can replace the Windows garbage with and have an okay desktop, still phoning home, shit file manager, stupid filesystem reading/encryption capabilities…
Or at least less so than Reddit. It’s good, but, I can’t put my finger on it. Even when the content is good, the servers are up, and I’m getting notifications responding to comments, it’s never come to me doomscrolling for hours....
I dont agree with many things apple does at all, and I also think their password manager has flaws like revealing usernames without authentification....
Yes I already use these. On Linux I use Kwallet, store my huge random Keepass password in there and unlock the Keepass database by fetching that password using a shortcut.
But still, then the password storage is open. Not as elegant as an on-demand password requester, especially on Android
Use that but its not about that topic. Its about storing unencrypted metadata (or usinh android Keystore for example) and having autofill work always even if the database is locked, and its quickly unlocked just for that entry
Hello! I’m currently using Musicolet as music player app on my android phone, and I really really really like its features. the ones I use the most are the possibility to reorganize the queue just by dragging songs, and the “boolean” operations on playlists (for example, If I have the “favourite” playlist with a lot of...
I find anrimians music player the best. I sync my music using syncthing. On the Laptop I have all the flacs and highres stuff, on the phone only the compressed ones (these are on the laptop too).
Most music players focus on albums and playlists, while I mostly want to use folders.
We are starting to see for quite some time big tech trying to get the internet under their control. We have seen half of the internet starting to block proxies. Tor is not usable in the normal internet anymore. More and more services require a government issued id for their account....
Yes its true. Privacy through a VPN doesnt work often as sites secretly block the proxies. You are no longer anonymous, or you need to use your own server and thats fingerprintable.
I’m running Ubuntu, and every once in a while, I boot up my PC and some app is missing that was there previously. Last night I shut down my computer, and this morning Firefox was missing. I lost all my browsing history, cookies, bookmarks, extensions, etc....
Yattee has recently dropped support for iOS 14, and was already extremely buggy to begin with. I currently use the uYou tweak on YouTube, but it isn’t as private. Are there any native alternatives that don’t involve a PWA?
I’ve been using SwiftKey for over a decade now, and I didn’t really realize how potentially horrible it is for privacy. What are some good alternatives you guys can suggest, ideally open source?...
Hi, I would like to ask if openSuse Tumbleweed is a good option for daily driving ang gaming. I’m not new to Linux and have tried Linux Mint and Ubuntu. I can also troubleshoot problems on my own if anything comes up. The graphics card I have is Nvidia if its any relevant.
Aurora Store is way too unreliable and is nearly unusable. I have been using APKMirror so far and while it is okay, it is somewhat annoying that Obtainium can not directly download from there whereas it can with APKPure. I wanted to know the security level of APKPure in comparison to APKMirror.

I will stop using Linux / PC for 10 months. What do you think will happen in that period?

Anyone else feel that Lemmy just *isn't* addictive?

Android App Search Strategies?
I have been noticing that Google Play is overrun with adware, trialware, and freemium kinds of apps. Really hard to find FOSS and truly free apps....

I’m looking to replace WPS Office which comes by default with Xiaomi phones, what FOSS alternatives do you recommend?...
What simple changes should people do in their lives to make a positive impact on climate change?
I do believe the biggest impact would come from regulating large companies and billionaires, but it’s not one or the other.
