Just switched my browser to #firefox from Chrome. Mainly because of their privacy policies and lack of data mining. However, I use Google Meet, which just doesn't run as well on non-Chrome browsers. Any advice?

@birv2 You can try Jitsi, Element, Signal, for video chat...

is easiest to onboard new users to and requires no installation or accounts. The official free instance needs a signin for the moderator only.

Oh look the dude who told you is dead and takes all your personal stuff for his profit wants a whole lot of privacy for himself (again). 😵

What is your absolute favorite
open source app? ✨

I know it's hard friends,
but you can only name ONE.

Go! 👇👀

@islamicaudiobooks@mastodon.social avatar

@Em0nM4stodon Favourite is a vague term to me. If you mean the one app that is absolutely irreplaceable, that would no doubt be the blazing fox of fire.

And no, the forks can't really replace it.

Psalm 137:9 - "Blessed is he who seizes your infants and dashes them against the rocks."

@TerryZZJones Strange that you're using Islam, Quran, etc hashtags with these... The Islamic position is that the Bible has been changed by men and is no longer a reliable source.

@BayesForDays @smeg That's how they probably do it legally without needing to warrantless spy on their own citizens.. just buy the data from corporations.

an0ncat, to Bitcoin

I can't stop laughing on this vague essay on . The claims are like bitcoin solves energy crisis and bitcoin improves Africans lives. How come the economically constrained states of Africa can trust the volatile crypto market? https://primal.net/e/note1grw2qe29dhxmf8c3um83y07wmxzkpw0nx08vwrrstfyc9xhw330q7wrxqw

@an0ncat It's true that a lot of Bitcoin maxis are probably motivated by that... but does that invalidate the whole idea and movement?

TerryZZJones, to atheism
islamicaudiobooks,
@islamicaudiobooks@mastodon.social avatar

@TerryZZJones Does not really make sense to me. According to my understanding, if man or other creatures were free of faults and flaws, they would be God. Only God, the Creator, is perfect.

islamicaudiobooks,
@islamicaudiobooks@mastodon.social avatar

@TerryZZJones Perhaps you are basing some of this on a certain scripture wherein God supposedly admits making errors and having regrets...?

TerryZZJones, to atheism

@islamicaudiobooks@mastodon.social avatar

@TerryZZJones Wow! I guess he must have studied all religions thoroughly to make such a claim.

TerryZZJones, to atheism
islamicaudiobooks,
@islamicaudiobooks@mastodon.social avatar

@TerryZZJones If that were the case, active good doers wouldn't be engaged in prayer... In fact they pray more than others so the opposite is true.

It's good if you read and contemplate what you're posting.

islamicaudiobooks,
@islamicaudiobooks@mastodon.social avatar

@TerryZZJones Is all wrong? Do you hate abhorrent crime and criminals like child abusers and genocidal dictators?

islamicaudiobooks,
@islamicaudiobooks@mastodon.social avatar

@TerryZZJones You should not post confrontational claims about other religions and not expect to be challenged.

I recommend continuing your posting but adopting a more friendly approach. I'm a former atheist and have had many civil discourses with polite atheists.

islamicaudiobooks,
@islamicaudiobooks@mastodon.social avatar

@TerryZZJones Your understanding may be different but in , hate is a necessary part of rejecting immoral evil in one's heart.

Claiming to reject without hating it would not be sincere rejection.

Also, hate does not and should not necessitate according to our understanding.

WPalant, to random

My ThinkPad broke down after mere two years of service, so I’ve got to try out way earlier than expected. Transplanting the SSD from the defect laptop went without a hitch, so I didn’t have to set up Linux from scratch. Some first impressions:

· Assembling everything really took five minutes and was super easy. It’s a comforting thought that replacing any components other than the display will be just as easy.
· Both keyboard and touchpad are way more precise than ThinkPad’s. I didn’t realize how bad typing on the ThinkPad was until I tried this keyboard.
· Unfortunately, the big keyboard keys apparently left no space for a proper navigation block. Only arrow keys and way too small, no PgDn/Pos1 keys. And no physical middle mouse button either.
· I still need to get used to the display but it does have a lot more vertical space thanks to the 3:2 side ratio. Great to actually get work done.
· Shipping from Taiwan, ugh…

@WPalant Thanks for sharing your experience. Planning to get one after they start shipping to my region. Is this the 13 inch version whose keys you mentioned?

@Internxt Good article but would be better if the writer mentioned clear pro and con list for each. Also list closed source as con for those that are. Also, doesn't have enabled by default and the separate encryption app isn't officially fully supported last I heard.

islamicaudiobooks,

@viktor @Internxt Thanks for the correction and apologies some of my information was apparently out of date. by default for files and contacts would still be great feature.

Interested in a Firefox fork that claims to be faster?

@itsfoss Still has Google as the default search engine. Might as well be based on Chromium.

islamicaudiobooks,

@msdropbear42 @itsfoss "Logic-free"? Does good, privacy respecting default configuration sound logical enough?

@itsfoss@mastodon.social avatar

Linux only!!! 🐧 ❤️

Would you ever go for Windows after trying Linux?

islamicaudiobooks,
@islamicaudiobooks@mastodon.social avatar

@itsfoss No, not voluntarily. Can't think of any reason except to:

  • save my life or someone else's
  • help out someone who isn't ready to migrate yet
    So definitely not for myself unless I absolutelt have to then in a VM.
