This puts the Israeli fascists one step closer to the Nazi government in from 1933-1945 in Germany

Andromxda ,

This one https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/FedoraPlasmaWorkstation

Andromxda ,

Use Bazzite or Aurora if you want an amazing, Fedora Silverblue/Universal Blue-based KDE experience, it's much better than normal Fedora anyway

Andromxda ,

By default it uses KDE instead of GNOME, you have the choice though. It makes some stuff easier for new users. Bazzite is also optimized for gaming and in some areas tries to mimic the Steam Deck experience pretty closely. It also includes all the Universal Blue goodness like ujust (basically a collection of scripts that is very helpful for quickly installing and setting up various things on your system). It also includes some quality-of-life improvements in the Terminal. You could compare it to Nobara, but built on top of Fedora Atomic (Kinoite). Check out their website for more information: https://bazzite.gg/

AirVPN has port forwarding

Andromxda ,

Also IVPN and AirVPN

Andromxda ,

Unfortunately there are websites that try to detect vpns and block you. Fuck those websites. Don’t encourage them by giving them eyeballs or money.

It's mostly CDNs like Cloudflare and Akamai that are notorious for blocking VPN and Tor users. Fuck CDNs, they destroy privacy and centralize the internet.

Andromxda ,

If you don't need to log in, I would recommend a private frontend like Redlib (fork of Libreddit) together with the LibRedirect browser extension

Andromxda ,

Redlib works perfectly, I think they use IPv6 address rotation to evade IP bans

Andromxda ,

The official instance is hosted at https://redlib.matthew.science

It’s already broken.

Their server is down, but I haven't seen a Redlib instance get blocked by Reddit. Try another instance like safereddit.com or check out the entire list of instances: https://github.com/redlib-org/redlib-instances/blob/main/instances.md

LibRedirect should also automatically fetch the list and allow you to choose instances you like

Andromxda ,

Btw you can also use normal third-party clients with your custom developer API key, there's a patched version of Apollo for iOS/iPadOS (you can download it from AltStore using their custom repository, it's explained on the website) and ReVanced offers a patch for Infinity on Android. The patched Apollo version has a quick guide on how to get an API Key, it works with all apps that support these custom keys though:

  1. Sign into your Reddit account and go to the link above (reddit.com/prefs/apps)
  2. Click the "are you a developer? create an app..." button
  3. Fill in the fields
    • Name: anything
    • Choose "Installed App"
    • Description: anything
    • About url: anything
    • Redirect uri: apollo://reddit-oauth
  4. Click "create app"
  5. After creating the app you'll get a client identifier which will be a bunch of random characters.
Andromxda ,

You're fine, it's basically just rebranded Mullvad VPN

But at that point, you can just cut out the middle man and use Mullvad directly, I think their clients are much better and offer more features. They also don't require your email address and you can pay anonymously with crypto.

Andromxda ,

IVPN and AirVPN are also very trustworthy and pretty popular in the privacy community

Andromxda ,

It's owned by Kape Technologies, the same companies that owns other garbage VPN providers like CyberGhost and PIA

Andromxda ,

That's not a VPN provider, just a protocol

Andromxda ,

Ok that makes sense, but wtf I just realized that it's $10/month, Mullvad is 5€ which is $5.38 and they even give you a 10% discount if you pay with crypto

Andromxda ,

LibRedirect automates most of that for you. Also, I've been using safereddit.com for over 6 months and never had any issues. Just try it out and see if it works for you :)

Andromxda ,

It fetches an updated list of working instances. It also has a built-in tool that let's you ping all instances and remove the broken ones. I'm pretty sure this will work well, even if you remove all instances except for safereddit.com. That's another way you can use it: Just find one working instance and remove all the others.

Andromxda ,

Thanks for this detailed and informative comment!

Andromxda ,

Same, Debian is the way to go (for servers, I can't stand it on desktop)

Andromxda ,

Bruh they just recently introduced easy-to-use DoT and DoH

Andromxda ,

Can we please have some RISC-V chips that aren't made in China?

Andromxda ,

Israel and China are both authoritarian shitholes, but China is much worse. Boycott both of them, as well as all the other authoritarian shitholes on this planet

Andromxda ,

They claim not to save your chats and not to use them for improving the AI model. Using GPT-3.5 Turbo through DuckDuckGo is definitely better than using your phone number to sign up for an OpenAI account, so yes, I think it makes sense to use this. But ideally, you could just run an AI model offline on your own hardware, I recently saw a Lemmy comment that explains this very well: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/comment/10348570

You can also use @db0's AI Horde as explained here: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/comment/9295041

Andromxda ,

Startpage is owned by an advertising company

Andromxda ,

Unfortunately it's broken all the time because it gets IP-banned by Google. Perhaps they could implement something like the Invidious smart-ipv6-rotator to prevent this.

Andromxda ,

What a great argument! You definitely convinced me and everyone else! Congrats!

Andromxda ,

This one was so obvious, if you really need the /s to understand that I'm not being serious then you are dumb as fuck. You are the troll who responds to legitimate criticism with "shut up".

Andromxda ,

Brave sucks

https://boehs.org/node/not-brave

Andromxda ,

Artificial delay periods that are used to show ads, yeah

Andromxda ,

It's EA, what do you expect

Andromxda ,

Does anyone happen to know what Mastodon client this is? I'm assuming this is on iOS

Andromxda ,

Unfortunately requires a subscription :(

Andromxda ,

I just found Ice Cubes, it looks promising. It's also open-source on GitHub.

Andromxda ,

Anyone can install Windows N, just select it during the installation

I'd still recommend debloating it using some script though

Andromxda ,

Honestly, who really uses Facebook (except for boomers)?

Andromxda ,

Yes, if I need to install Windows I always pick the N version. Just make sure to install the Media Feature Pack from the "optional features" area in the Settings app, otherwise some apps like Spotify might not work correctly. It took me days to figure this out, I was incredibly frustrated (that's often the case with Windows lol, that's why I switched to Linux).

Andromxda ,

Damn

Andromxda ,

Nice :) I really like it so far, it also seems to have a macOS version, I'm definitely gonna have to compare it to Mona.

Andromxda ,

You can always dual-boot. Bazzite is a very stable Linux distro, which is optimized for gaming and basically gives you the same experience you would get on a Steam Deck. I highly recommend it.

Andromxda ,

Time in terms of setting everything up or learning how to use it? Because I can tell you that both are relatively easy. The installation is super easy, no harder than an ordinary Windows setup. The Steam Deck by default uses a desktop environment called KDE, as a Windows user, you should feel right at home. I'd say it's very intuitive to use and easy to learn. As Bazzite tries to mimic the Steam Deck experience as closely as possible, it uses the exact same stuff. Maybe check out this video.

Andromxda ,

Agreed

Andromxda ,

Abortion ban happened because of Trump's corrupt judges in the supreme court, yeah

Andromxda ,

Still better than the Chinese propaganda machine

Andromxda ,

They don't have a proper Android app with sync capability and force you to use the proprietary, 3rd-party PhotoSync app.

Andromxda ,

I'm talking about easy to set up, new user friendly solutions. Having an official app with a sync feature is essential in my opinion

Apple pulls WhatsApp, Threads and Signal from app store in China (www.washingtonpost.com)

Apple has complied with the Chinese government's request to remove several popular communication apps from its app store, including WhatsApp, Threads, Signal, and Telegram, due to national security concerns. This action was taken following a directive from the Cyberspace Administration of China. These apps have been crucial for...

Andromxda ,

You forgot about SideStore, AltStore and Sideloadly

Andromxda ,

Have you ever looked at the name of this community?

Lefty Memes

And the sidebar?
