Tangent5280,

Does anyone remember this reddit user named Ramses the Pigeon? He had the most outlandish stories he would post as reaction to a meme or article. I miss him.

Alright boys, I've been converted to the light side and have installed F-Droid. Now what?

Basically title. I waited on installing F droid for a long time because my phone threw many scary warnings when I tried a long time ago. But now I have it, and I got some fossify apps, but since there is no “Editor’s Picks” on F- droid I dont really know where to go from here....

Tangent5280,

Yeah, that’s the endgame. I hope to replace everything I use eventually.

Tangent5280,

Im thinking its another app storefront, similar to f droid?

Tangent5280,

It’s a bit unnerving, to understand how massive an influence that one company has on our lives.

Tangent5280,

How does OpenNoteScanner compare to the Microsoft Lens app?

Tangent5280,

How well would you say Libera Reader works? Do you have experience using it?

Tangent5280,

No assumption of gender, I was just going for the “Fuck it, we ball” rhetoric. I’m sorry if I made you feel excluded.

Tangent5280,

Oh wait so its going to be lesser hassle the sooner I move to Obtainium?

Tangent5280,

I read a lot, and currently I read with calibre on my pc since I can highlight and export them directly so I can include them in my notes. I’d like it if I could run the calibre server and be able to higlight on my phone, and sync it over to my pc automatically.

Tangent5280,

Hi, quick question. I already have some apps installed via play store, thats also available on F-Droid. Is there any advantage to uninstalling them, and installing them back, from F-Droid?

Tangent5280,

Thanks for the detailed answer. It seems prudent to install from Obtainium.

Tangent5280,

Im concerned that adopting kagi is just taking your data back from multiple greedy corporations and giving it to one corporation instead, and also giving them a direct link to who you are via your payment method.

Tangent5280,

Wish they would atleast allow payments in crypto.

Tangent5280,

Ah, the programmers pilgrimage. The first hill that they must climb is the one where they spend 12 days automating something that would have taken 10 seconds every time + half hour setup time.

Privacy Concerns on Lemmy: A Call for More User Control (github.com)

I’ve been grappling with a concern that I believe many of us share: the lack of privacy controls on Lemmy. As it stands, our profiles are public, and all our posts and comments are visible to anyone who cares to look. I don’t even care about privacy all that much, but this level of transparency feels to me akin to sharing my...

Tangent5280,

But why? Is there a compromise taken on privacy in favour of visibility and mass adoption of whatever fediverse client they’re using? I don’t understand this, especially since I also find the strongest advocates for privacy right here.

Tangent5280,

I too sit all day long and not get enough exercise

Tangent5280,

THIS IS NECESSARY

Tangent5280,

To the machines, it is harvest day, but to the plants it is the Holocaust!

Tangent5280,

yeah this is what i thought too. proliferation of small files.
