There're shady companies selling privay and others like mullvad. They don't take your name on sign up and allow for paying with cash or BTC and even Monero. Even if they'd log your IP and traffic (which they say they don&#x27

What I especially like about Organic Maps and OSM in general is how searching for "water" shows nearby water fountains. Depending on the country and region it helps if your running out of water while hiking. It's not necessar

Yes and no, by installing Steam as flatpak. The Steam Linux (and Windows) clients still require 32-bit, but with flatpak the rest of the system doesn't have them. Edit: freedomben commented that Steam works but complains on Fedora w&#x

They probably talk about the Steam Linux Runtime (or it's predecessor), which is called scout and is based on Debian 10. They also have a more recent one called soldier used for proton and are working on a successor for scout called sn

The issue of targeting many distros with different package versions is already solved by Valve's Steam Linux Runtime. They use namespaces/container to provide the same environment on any distro. https://gitlab.steamos.c

Because the Linux kernel has stringent guidelines how a driver should be written and work. Companies don't want to put in the work (i.e. pay someone with experience) to upstream their drivers. Whether this makes sense monetarily isn&#x

Telegram does not have solid E2E enabled by default, so it's more important what the server does.

In what ways does Mozilla try not to upset Google? They do implement ad blocking/anti fingerprinting. Mozilla obviously has to continue setting Google as the default search engine.

GrapheneOS implements a similar feature which limits to 4G cellular networks. This is great if the phone decides 3G or 2G connectivity is better, but I know the 4G network is faster (still slow). A downside is that if the 4G network is comp

Matrix does not need much resources per user or room But if any user joins a large room with thousands of people, the server will need to keep up with all those state events. So 100s of users wouldn't be much of an issue if they'

It seems like there're so many important deployments of Synapse that they need to keep it going. And I've read that the performance is way better than a few years ago. At some point Dendrite was slated to support micro services on

I don't know about the previous link, but conduit.rs has a Link called "Documentation" at the top of the page. Installation is downloading a binary, setting up autostart and writing/copying a 10 line configuration.toml.

FluffyChat does have multi-account support, but it's also a feature I'm missing on Element.

Not yet. There're plans to build migration tool for Synapse to Dendrite, but support for Conduit would need to be built in as well. Either way, it's unknown how long it'll take. The tracking issue for Synapse -> Dendrite m

At least on Conduit and Dendrite that is the case iirc, but it's easy to forget to disable it once you register an account.

I've used Conduit for about a year now with bridges and it works flawlessly. It doesn't have all features but a recent release added Spaces and end-to-bridge encryption (not as big of a deal when selfhosting server + bridges, but

KISS launcher is one of the main reasons I gave my iPhone XS to my dad. On iOS I'm not even allowed to place app icons where I want to. The freedom to install any app I want is another main advantage. Most people just want their defaul

Blocking the MS-ABK deal isn't about being a global superpower, but about MS and ABK doing business in UK. It's the same with EU, Netherlands, Japan and US.

LineageOS might support my phone longer, even if drivers don't get updated. And I'd have my battery replaced for a while now, if it wasn't a bit difficult.

by nani8ot 3y ago
Agreed. My Pixel 4a works great except that the battery is below 80% health (and except that GrapheneOS ends support in ~ a year). Replacing the battery risks breaking the display, since it requires removing the latter which is really thin

If a school requires Windows, students are forced to use it. Not changing schools isn't "choosing" Windows. But yes, I'm always surprised how many people buy things introduced to them in ads.

I don't think it's different views on privacy between countries, since there's ambition to limit privacy of citizens in most countries. My understanding is that there's always pressure from the executive to get more righ

You personally always had the right to give your data to US companies. As a company processing my EU citizen data, you couldn't since that would infringe on my right for privacy.

by nani8ot 3y ago
Just an example: The EU wanted to have a domestic cloud, which would solve the privacy issues with US companies processing EU data. Then there was the decision which companies should get contracts to build the infrastructure. And obviously
