+1. I like the idea of Lemmy, but I just can't stomach the community (or at least portions if it that seem to rear their head in every thread). My last two attempts to find a quieter niche involved a conversion about the weather becomi

As a quick disclaimer, I wrote the post (though aren't in any way affiliated with the project or the people that gave the project a grant). TLDR is that someone is trying to combine the Nostr and SMTP protocols into a decentralized, en

One minor 'gripe' for lack of a better term, is that I feel like a push to go backwards in technology is a bit misguided. I feel like a lot if people see ads and trackers, then look to older protocols like Gopher/Gemini/

> I don't even think it's about technical difficulty (most of the time). I think people just want someone else to take care of their shit. I get where you're coming from, and as much as I'd love to see everyone become

Cool post, and definitely a concept devs should consider. I've only experienced the garden variety of offline (hiking out if cell service, not having a phone data plan, etc - not a government in chaos), but I still find offline capabil

I pretty much never use Facebook, but a while back I got restricted front the marketplace after listing a car. A boring list detailing the state of a car has to be the least offensive thing possible, so I assume some bot had an aneurism, bu

I don't necessarily disagree that there's a lot of people being sold a VPN that probably don't need it, but VPNs still can be a legitimate tool. Even outside of the "well known" VPN uses like piracy, privacy (in a &

Oh, cool, for some reason I thought they didn't let you unlock the bootloader. Did they stop you from doing it for a while and then re-enable it at some point or am I just misremembering? Either way, always good to be wrong about somet

I know this isn't exactly the answer to your question, but it's sorta adjacent and might be useful. Pixel devices can run a number of Roms that go much longer than Google's support period (DivestOS, PostMarketOS, Lineage, etc

Now if they only allowed you to unlock the bootloader. Samsung makes great hardware* but it's disappointing see locked down and bloated devices that only gets security updates for a few years IF you pay full price when they come out. L

It'll all render the same using Chrome/Blink, but forks might take out tracking by Google (and potentially add other tracking), add adblock outside of plugins, or re-add support for Manifest V2 to name a few. Chromium forks can ac

Not the worst idea to avoid a website for breaking in FF (or take a chance to touch grass), but unfortunately when you can't pay your credit card bill or need something for your work and it only works in Chromium it can't be avoid

It doesn't ban a blockers outright but does severely hamper them. It severely limits how many filters that can exist within the plugin, and also prevents plugins from updating block lists themselves and forces those updated lists to go

I have had sites that are definitely broken in Firefox even after a stock install with every last toggle/extension/script blocker turned off. It's fairly rare, but there are a slowly growing list of sites that don't beha

Was reading the switch to Firefox thread and wanted to share a set of complaints which have been building up for years that I finally put together. By all means switch to Firefox (& forks), but I'm worried we're at a crossroad
