So my fear of sharks has gotten better, and I don’t quite understand why.

Curious 🏳️‍⚧️

But anyhow, you’ve probably found me because you’ve seen one of my totally inconspicuous comments

I’m open to chat about these and other related things over on Matrix

Like the other reply said, Lineage doesn't do a whole lot in terms of degoogling. I quite enjoy DivestOS, it's a project that takes Lineage as a base and strips out as much Google and proprietary code as possible.
In fact, it's so Google-free that neither sandboxed Play Services nor MicroG are officially supported, though the latter can still be installed and used just fine, though with a few drawbacks.

Same as Lineage, it runs on more devices, but certain features like bootloader relocking depend on the phone.

moisturize me

I'd love for some big regulatory body forcing them to word it better and more clearly.

Ah, PC Gaming Wiki, what a fantastic resource. Made realize how many games in my libraries are actually DRM-free

Others have said all the important things, but I wanted to add that there are things that Android always tunnels through a VPN, like internet connectivity checks.

So even with Always-ON and Block Connections, this will still ignore a VPN

One of those times where it sounded perfectly correct in my head, whoops

Did tiktok change something?

I have friends that send me tiktok links via whatsapp and then they ask questions about it like "what do you think, scam or not". I used to open them with cookies rejected in ddg browser but now it pretends to freeze after 4 seconds of play, then it says that i must open it in the app and replaces the "play" button with a fake...

There exists a frontend called Proxitok, but I can't comment on how well it works or what it can do. The LibRedirect addon for Firefox can redirect you to the instance of your choosing.

Great addon in general, do check it out if you don't know it already.

A very stupid gamer lesbian with a dash of chaos activist, that sounds about right

    Firefox (at least on Android), actually violates the GDPR for connecting to Adjust without user consent.

    So no need to look further for any privacy shenanigans, this is unbelievably disappointing, coming from Mozilla.

    miss_brainfarts ,

    That breaks anonymity, not privacy

    Meanwhile I use a monitor with a max brightness of 250nits, and I still have it set to its absolute minimum.

    I can't even imagine how just a short flash of 400 would feel to me

    miss_brainfarts ,

    Oh yeah, that reminds me I wanted to try out A Tale of Two Wastelands. And I see there's a lot of mods bringing textures, models and even animations from Fallout 4 to NV and 3? That could make for a great experience

    miss_brainfarts ,

    „Me not having worked during that time quite literally means this time isn't anyone's business“

    miss_brainfarts ,

    Oh, we've been through this though. Which other platform will ever have the cash to be a real contender here?

    miss_brainfarts ,

    Noyb is publishing their articles in both German and English. Good source for news on the latest legal fuckeries of Big Tech and the like

    miss_brainfarts ,

    Kinda sounds like it doesn't like whatever your phine is doing to optimize background battery usage

    Fossify Contacts, perhaps

    The encryption can't be end-to-end anyway. If you send messages between services with different encryption protocols, then you trust Beeper to decrypt your message mid-transit, to then re-encrypt it with the protocol of the recipient.

    miss_brainfarts ,

    The whole point of the Beeper App is to let them handle everything, though.

    And even if you self-host, you're still breaking encryption and have to make sure everything is properly secured.

    miss_brainfarts ,

    Be so nice to notify your contacts about breaking e2ee then, will ya

    miss_brainfarts ,

    It's nice that the option exists, I didn't know that. But I have to say, I'm still not a fan of the overall concept of bridges

    miss_brainfarts ,

    reports of building with 16GB and an i7 taking 20 minutes

    Which generation i7 though

    miss_brainfarts ,

    You know what, I respect it. Knows what he wants, while being quick to correct any assumptions

    miss_brainfarts ,

    For the difficult

    miss_brainfarts ,

    I love it in every sense of the word

    miss_brainfarts ,

    If only they could somehow have a webcam point at their desk to show you what they're drawing

    Peer pressure from people that don't even exist anymore, huh.

    Well tough luck, the only pressure this aroace girl will succumb to is a sale on her favourite garlic bread

    Hi, nice to meet you

    miss_brainfarts ,

    How about when the number goes up and has a real-time effect on the world you play in, showing you the fruit of your labour growing as you progress further and further?

    miss_brainfarts ,

    Did you know that there are parasitic isopods that basically snuggle up inside a fishs mouth and become its tongue?

    Weird little buggers

    miss_brainfarts ,

    Imagine your tongue eating part of what you try to catch, to then poop straight down your throat

    miss_brainfarts , (edited )

    Even if it worked, I wouldn't want Adobe clogging up my Linux system with all their BS just to run Photoshop.

    That shit gets a dedicated system on a dedicated drive.

    miss_brainfarts ,

    May I present to you, the longest german word where no letter repeats itself:

    That's because what you really need is a vintage AMP from the 70s or 80s

    miss_brainfarts ,

    Have you told your contacts, at least?

    miss_brainfarts ,

    I think you should leave

    miss_brainfarts ,

    Now replay it with the one and only:

    Tale of two Wastelands

    miss_brainfarts OP ,

    Okay but Marco Pollo is a good pun, I like it a lot

    miss_brainfarts ,

    Don't worry, I'm working on growing my own

    miss_brainfarts ,

    An absolute classic :D

    miss_brainfarts ,

    Fun fact:
    This 3D model of Link is freely available under public domain, textured, rigged and everything. Didn't get updated to work with Blender 4.0 though, so that's a shame

    miss_brainfarts ,

    It's the absolutely-proprietary package in the AUR, don't know if it exists on other distros
