hedge, to opensource in Does anyone know of a FOSS version of this (android keyboard with hexagonal keys?)

Thanks! And, uh, you’re confident that this is safe? Sorry to ask again, just need reassurance I guess.

Revisiting this, may I ask where you got the Typewise Pro apk, and also is it safe?

That’s good to know, thanks!

I have the option to see hidden files using Material Files (won’t let you look inside Android folder tho); if you need something more heavy duty there’s Ghost Commander. Both are available on F-Droid. There’s also Files from GrapheneOS, which might be available on the Play Store, but not sure about that one.

From Wikipedia: The Ludwig von Mises Institute for Austrian Economics, or Mises Institute, is a nonprofit think tank headquartered in Auburn, Alabama, that is a center for Austrian economics, radical right-wing libertarian thought and the paleolibertarian and anarcho-capitalist movements in the United States. It is named after the economist Ludwig von Mises (1881–1973) and promotes his version of heterodox Misesian Austrian economics.

I keep trying to post this to World News on BH but it then it ends up on lemmy.ml instead!

Well, they spoke with the EFF which made Privacy Badger, so maybe that’s why. They did the password thing with the dice, tho, which I guess is good.

hedge, to technology in Does a VPN used on a smartphone with Wi-Fi disabled (mobile data only enabled) provide any sort of protection?
@hedge@beehaw.org avatar

Before answering your first question (I’m actually not sure how to answer! I’ll have to think about it 🤔)–my laptop has wifi, which transmits and receives radio waves to/from my router; my router is connected to a cable (broadband cable? I guess? Not DSL at any rate), which is connected to the internet (and there’s also a MODEM in there somewhere too). My laptop doesn’t have the ability to connect by mobile data which uses, I guess?, cell phone towers, but my smartphone can use both. So they’re two different systems is I guess what I’m getting at, and I was never clear on how or if a VPN provided any sort of basic privacy if it was only using cell towers. This is a potentially really dumb question (the head injury doesn’t help 🤕), but remember, William Gibson used to think that computers were powered by these gleaming magical crystals (or so he claims), before he looked inside one and discovered that it was basically just a floppy plastic record spinning around really fast.

hedge, to foss in *Best* video for explaining the Fediverse to a total noob?
@hedge@beehaw.org avatar

Can you make a flowchart (or maybe there is one already) that shows what platforms can interact with others and how? Sort of kidding, but maybe not. I really like the idea of the Fediverse, but it does seem to have a bit of an “apples and oranges” problem with the different platforms. Hopefully an issue that’s being worked on.

hedge, to random in Fennec vs Mull: pros and cons of each?
@hedge@beehaw.org avatar

Thanks👍I take it that I don’t need to worry about cookies on Mull, because they are, I guess, “isolated” from each other out of the box?

@hedge@beehaw.org avatar

Because far too many US Dems are cowards who live in fear of the conservative news media who will claim, no matter what they do, that they are “soft on crime.”

hedge, (edited ) to foss in Fennec vs Mull: pros and cons of each?
@hedge@beehaw.org avatar

Thanks! I only wish I could use “Bypass Paywalls Clean” on Mull; even if I enable the Iceraven addons it just gives me “Bypass Paywalls for Firefox” which isn’t as effective.

EDIT: I was also slightly alarmed recently to discover how many cookies Fennec was retaining; I’d like to be able to keep the one for BH so I don’t have to log in every time, and maybe a few others, but not if I have to keep all of them.

hedge, to politics in Biden says 'order must prevail' during campus protests over the war in Gaza

Can Biden win without the youth vote? Does he even want to win?
