I hope they stick with recall and other BS so offices would hopely make the switch to other OSes once W10 will be EOL.

MrSoup , 1 day ago

Wasn't talking just about Linux, but any other OS which is not Microsoft. For office stuff even chromeOS is enough really. If they have to change hardware to update Windows they could just go for an alternative for much less. Still this will be the minority of course

I use TrackerControl (f-droid).

It's an app that can turn off entirely internet access to an app or granurarly tweak which domains can comunicate with.

Does having Google as index puts the search engine inside a Google Bubble? Like if every anonymous queries made by that engine sent to Google makes a big profile used by Google to aim results or do they use some type of API avoiding this?

Complete with built-in malware

Full period.

MrSoup , 11 days ago

use Edge only as it's more secure.

Just try to look at its default settings. It's really the worst option maybe even more than Chrome itself.

In my opinion, public istitutions like schools should push FOSS instead of giving private corps more power.

But most offices actually use those private corps shitty software, so that's why they train students on that.

I need to do more advanced stuff, oh GOD!

These closed platforms by wanting to be more "user-friendly" most of the time become geek-unfriendly. This also make them more profits by making "certified" courses on a damn software. If you need a course to even use a software, then rethink the usability of that software.

They are busy at ads rather than improving anything.

Don't lose hope, resistance is NOT futile.
There are third party frontends for most of Facebook/Meta services and desktop apps which can be used when there are no other options.

Be aware of installing Whatsapp app on iOS and Android, there are vulnerabilities currently exploited by the israelian Pegasus. Nothing prevents anyone else from using these vulnerabilities.

There was bibliogram (web) which I've used a couple of times, but it's now discontinued.
Your best bet here would be using instagram web as a webapp with a bunch of addons limiting their tracking. I dunno if there are some limitation on the instagram website, I don't use instagram at all.

By looking up on f-droid there is "barinsta" which received a cease and desist letter from a law firm representing Facebook. Maybe you can find an active fork of it.

If you find something, please update us. There could be someone else in your same condition.

my Linux phone

What brand? My pinephone stopped turning on :(

MrSoup , 18 days ago

Have you tried fixing your pinephone?

I don't know what stopped working. I could have tried buying a brand new mobo, but at the same price I bought a Pixel and flashed Graphene but I do miss Linux phone.

Can you please share some info?
How's battery life? Is everything smooth enough? Are you on phosh or plasma mobile? How's call quality? Does VoLTE works?

It feels like it needs training sessions to make better use of it, and also it is wacky as hell

Seems the description of MS Office.

Try driving a solar powered car.
Dunno if helium can be used in cars tho.

MrSoup , 21 days ago

Me on my way gettin on train to go to the far grocery store in my non-walkable city. /s

I understand why people likes trains, but it's not the answer to every situation.

I think corps prefer using finite resources to make customers depend on buying them. Imagine being able to recharge your car by what you produce with your solar panels on your roof: you will spend money only on the car itself and not on the fuel.

The only good thing I could think off, is that someone is going to create a defederated stackoverflow alternative?

I've read of someone making an alternative to stackexchange federated. Let me lookup for it and add a link here.

Here it is:

Isn't Tor plagued by NSA managed nodes?

MrSoup , 22 days ago

Yes, do as I say!

MrSoup , 24 days ago

Better versions? The best versions are firefox from distro's repo and librewolf from flathub for me.

MrSoup , 24 days ago

Flathub is still an option, Firefox there is verified.

MrSoup , 24 days ago

Still got server-side code closed source and by default messages are not encrypted.

MrSoup , 24 days ago

Telegram :P

MrSoup , 24 days ago (edited 23 days ago)

Having server-side source code open can help into finding not on purpose backdoors. But yes, no one can verify that's the same exact version used by the actual servers.

Ngl I have no clue why this technology is so newsworthy rn

It's because of openness/royalties.
RISC-V is an open standard instruction set architecture based on RISC principles. RISC itself is just a design type. ARM is based on RISC too, but it's proprietary.

MrSoup , 29 days ago

finding RISC-V packages in standard repositories might prove problematic.

Gentoo would be ideal.

I hope they do. I would laugh very hard.

You can use NoScript.
Enable WebGL in LibreWolf/Firefox, block it with NoScript and manage a white list adding manually sites you need.

MrSoup , 1 month ago

I use Firefox with uBlock and NoScript plus other addons and seems to be no interference between those two.
Should not be an issue on LibreWolf.

Isnt enough software encryption like with voip calls (like telegram)?

MrSoup OP , 1 month ago (edited 1 month ago)

Can't the signal be encrypted first by client and then sent to cellular network?

MrSoup OP , 1 month ago

I know Wire, but I asked for non voip solutions.

MrSoup OP , 1 month ago

Why should I need a rooted phone? Can't dialer apps send whatever they want through cellular network?

MrSoup OP , 1 month ago

Just curious really, would be cool using cellular network with an encrypted signal. Here some telcom companies offers infinite calls minutes but limited GBs of internet, so making voip calls would use those GBs.

MrSoup , 1 month ago

True, true.

This does remember me the cyberdeck.cafe cookies popup with the button "Resistance is Futile" (uBlock automatically removes it).
