netchami,

I think Apple were the ones who started doing that

netchami,

Who in their right mind would do that? Oh, right, the Lemmy.world guys are fucking morons. They also blocked !piracy a few months ago, for no real reason.

Next smartphone I buy, which one do you recommend?

Things that make me angry about my current smartphone Samsung Galaxy S21Ultra on a Verizon plan is the mandatory software updates in which they install WITHOUT MY PERMISSION stupid apps like Netflix and addictive gambling games and stacking block games and Candy crush. God knows what else they install without my permission. I...

netchami,

Yeah, that’s because your phone is rooted. By default you can’t get root on GrapheneOS so it should work there.

netchami,

GrapheneOS significantly increases security, rooting does the exact opposite

netchami,

I wouldn’t recommend a Pixel older than the Pixel 6 as these will soon be EOL.

netchami,

For security reasons GrapheneOS doesn’t allow the modification of system files. You can achieve the same thing with DNS though. Either self-host a Pi-Hole or AdGuard Home, or use something like NextDNS.

netchami,

GrapheneOS is built to work with a locked bootloader, in fact, relocking the bootloader is a step in the installation guide. It’s not rooted by default and the GOS team highly recommends against rooting, all apps should work as long as they only require SafetyNet basic integrity. If they require full integrity, they won’t work on GrapheneOS because the OS has to be manually whitelisted by Google in order to pass the full integrity check. Most apps (including banking or government apps) only mandate basic integrity though, full integrity is rarely required. It should definitely work better than LineageOS.

netchami,

A Google Pixel running GrapheneOS is your best option. Graphene doesn’t have any Google services by default, no bloatware at all, maximum privacy and security. It’s super easy to install, you can check out this video guide or just read their official documentation.

Another video about GrapheneOS that I totally recommend: youtube.com/watch?v=yTeAFoQnQPo

I recommend this after the install: youtube.com/watch?v=BymH90zFe30

netchami,

Pro tip: Infect your Windows friends with malware, then get them to switch to Linux

netchami,

Affinity Designer is an Illustrator alternative, Affinity Photo is their Photoshop competitor and Affinity Publisher is an InDesign clone. The company that makes the Affinity products is called Serif. Hope this helps to clarify.

netchami,

It emphasizes that free refers to freedom, not price.

netchami,

Some general things: Both Tmux and Neovim have such broad plugin ecosystems, helix and zellij don’t even come close.

For zellij specifically: I don’t like the UI, it’s just way too much stuff on the screen, it’s distracting. Tmux tries to stay out of the way and only displays something if it’s absolutely necessary. You can also configure everything yourself.

Regarding helix: As a long time Vim/Emacs-evil user I just can’t get used to stuff like Kakoune or Helix, it just feels weird.

netchami,

That probably won’t solve your issues, but I can tell you a little about my setup:

  • I use Navidrome for local Music streaming, it supports the Subsonic API so you will find a compatible client for it on every platform
  • I have an LG OLED “Smart” TV, but I never connect it to the network, instead I have an HTPC running Linux and Kodi that I use to access Jellyfin (that would solve your performance issue with the Jellyfin app on your “Smart” TV)

I really hope that your issues get solved soon, I wish you good guck

netchami,

Super pro tip: Do the same for any device that does not absolutely need internet access. Don’t buy IoT garbage that needs to connect to some cloud server. Use local solutions like Jellyfin for media streaming, Navidrome for music, Home Assistant for home automation, etc.

There are so many other things you can self host, Nextcloud for your files, calendars, notes and other stuff, Immich or PhotoPrism for your photos, FreshRSS for news articles and other sources that support RSS feeds, Pi-Hole or AdGuard Home for DNS. Definitely check out !selfhosted.

netchami,

That’s great. It’s nice to see that there are other people who care about self-hosting. Any particular reason why you are still using Emby instead of Jellyfin?

netchami,

Disconnect that piece of shit from the internet and use a streaming box/stick or an HTPC.

Graphene gang

netchami,

It provides pretty good translations, but it’s not particularly good for privacy. Obviously it’s better than Google, but their privacy policy isn’t great.

netchami,

That’s cool, thanks!

Continuing my research, how do these "pirates" get the files for nintendo switch games?

In my search for knowledge about piracy and the dastardly fellows who partake in it, I came across an issue. How do these pirates attain nintendo switch games? i can’t seem to understand. may anyone who is well versed in this topic provide some knowledge? much appreciated.

netchami,

Early versions of the switch can easily be hacked, even on later models, you can still install a modchip and dump the games along with the firmware. We will always be 20 steps ahead of Nintendo.

netchami,

Don’t use Bromite, it’s unmaintained and insecure. If you like Bromite, use Cromite instead. IMO the best browser on Android is Mull. Also, Cromite is spelled without an ‘h’.

netchami,

Why is the UK turning into a fucking dictatorship
