Interesting, I haven’t heard anything about that. I haven’t been following them for long. Could I get some more info about that?

I see, thank you for bringing this to my attention. I see a investigation is ongoing so I do hope NRB and the crew get this issue sorted.

Honestly, its personal preference, there’s different forks of each, base Firefox is good, if you want a more private fork try Fennec or Mull. With chromium the only two ive heard good privacy things about is Brave and Cromite (a fork of Bromite, a project that looks like it got discontinued as there hasn’t been an update since last December). Honestly try both and see which you prefer.

Sorry, I just assumed you were asking about android specific apps. For Apple, Safari is decently private, Apples strong suit is that everyone knows Apple hate sharing things, so while you can’t be sure about how much apple collects, you know they’re not giving data to 3rd parties. For computer I’d say base Firefox, (or Librewolf if your okay with the lack of auto updating) or Brave.

I can’t find the newsletter/blogpost but I did read that fairphone are apparently looking at making their earbuds more repairable than they are currently, which is good.

I have WF-1000XM3’s right now that are still running fine, dont really use them much so the battery degradation is a non issue for me at the moment, but when it is I’m happy enough to attempt a battery replacement when the time comes.

I hope Madison is in a good, safe work environment now. The few episodes she was in were amazing, such a likeable, funny person. Stay safe out there.

The concern with Session is that theyre based in Australia, a country that is in the 5 eyes, and their government passed a bill forces companies to provide a backdoor when ordered to, the company cannot deny to create this, and they can’t declose that they got ordered to ether. [A great video talking about said bill] While the Session devs say their services are resilient to these threats, [see their FAQ] it’s best to remain cautious.

I’ve got a 2019 Kidle Oasis, I dont know if it has epub support but I use a piece of software called Calibre which can convert epubs to mobi which I think is Amazon’s proprietary format. Haven’t done it for a while now but I think there’s a problem with book covers now? Not too sure.

I’ve always had sloppy handwriting, but I had to handwrite a note for someone and I’ve never seen my handwriting so neat! I’ve not had to write anything with a pen or pencil for at least 2 years. But all of a sudden, its clear, neat and legible, even my cursive is pretty clear too!
