majestictechie, 1 month ago to asklemmy in What's the best advice you've ever received?

Shave with double edged razors. The razors are more extensive (compared to disposable anyway) but you’ll save money on the blades.

I bought a razor for £30 and £7 on 100 blades. That was 12 years agoml. I’m 2/3 the way through my razor pack.

I found no difference in how close of a shave I got and while it takes a bit more skill, I got the handle of it after a few shaves.

majestictechie, 1 month ago to android in Best Android wifi calling option for kids

If you don’t have phone Sims/phone numbers then you can use something like Mumble.

I setup my own server locally and have a VPN to it. My kids phone can connect then and we can talk over a local LAN or with a VPN if I’m elsewhere.

Other than that. Discord?

Collection > 4 > Legacy

majestictechie, 2 months ago to opensource in What apps would you love to have open-source alternatives for?

zulip.com is likely your best alternative. It’s more a Slack copy than Discord but the features are there

majestictechie, 2 months ago to foss in Email service that integrates well with Thunderbird?

So any web host that uses cPanel should be a good thing. IMAP for mail, Caldav for Calendars and Cardav for contacts. It’s what I use anyway and haven’t had any issues

I found its privacy settings too restrictive. I ended up moving to Floorp which is much closer to the Vanilla FF

I went from the 3a to the 7a. The 3a was a nicer phone. I miss the fingerprint scanner on the back

I’m way over this. I keep a lot of it standard now except some interface changes. Less things to break then

majestictechie, 3 months ago to startrek in Star Trek: Discovery | Season 5 Official Trailer | Paramount+

I felt the only series good season was 1. The last one was terrible, so I think I’ll give 5 a miss.

Strange new Worlds is dope though.

majestictechie, 3 months ago to privacy in Private chat app using wifi only. No SIM available

Signal is no longer requiring phone numbers as of V7, so you could just wait for that to get released.

Where’s the flaming sword?

majestictechie, 6 months ago to privacy in Privacy benefits of Custom roms

The OS itself is private because it’s DeGoogled. I also installed GApps because I wanted the convinence of the App store and core feature I’ve been used to for so long.

I also knew the moment I did the google-fication privacy was out the window.

I was fine with LineageOS and would happily go back when my Pixel7a becomes EOL.

majestictechie, 6 months ago to asklemmy in What is the weirdest/strangest thing you find comfort in?

I was thinking the same, but I don’t really see my neighbours standing out in their garden in the middle of the night just staring at the sky

Looking up at the stars at night
