You really don’t need anything besides uBlock Origin. With that said:

  • Your password manager’s extension would be convenient.
  • LibRedirect is great so that any social links get redirected to privacy-respecting frontends.
  • Dark Reader to save your eyes.

About some other ones that are mentioned:

  • ClearURLs is not necessary if you configure uBlock Origin to remove the tracking parameters.
  • Bypass Paywalls Clean is not necessary if you configure uBlock Origin to replicate this functionality.

Other:

  • Firefox Multi-Account Contains is good for managing accounts.
  • Temporary Containers is also good for isolating tabs.

IIRC, Privacy Badger and Decentraleyes are no longer necessary with uBlock Origin. Neither is HTTPS Everywhere.

Revenge bedtime syndrome. It’s legit.

You should vocalize it to the owner (or at least management) if you can. You’d be surprised what comes of it.

I did this once with a restaurant/bar owner, and she was very understanding. Once I took the time to explain how I didn’t wanna be subjected to everything that a setup like that brings, she empathized and actually got a standalone website.

Many people aren’t aware until you make em aware. And whether they feel the same or not from a consumer standpoint, at least they’ll know that there’s people out there who do care, and it affects business. And usually, if it affects business, it doesn’t matter what their personal feelings towards it are. A good business owner will be sure to adjust because they learned something new about the market.

Not sure why the quotes exist, but this is beautiful to see.

Better late than never, and I hope we can take these examples to other car-centric places to fix.

I don’t do it often, but I get real into it when there’s wordplay and figurative language that makes me think.

Plus I couldn’t find the lyrics to it, so in this case I did it to make sure I wasn’t missing the bar intricacies.

Bouncy. I read “Dom Dolla” and immediately thought Dame Dolla (Damian Lillard) so I was like “Oh this gonna have a Dame verse?!”

I’m reporting this post. I didn’t consent to being recorded getting outta bed in the morning.

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....

I use Obtanium too, but I can’t figure out how to install apps that are hosted on GitLab.

What do you have to change in Obtanium?

Here’s Mull, for example: gitlab.com/divested-mobile/mull-fenix

hiramfromthechi,

Any benefit over just downloading the APK directly without managing it through Obtanium? I ask cause I’m guessing that for Mull, since there are no releases on its GitLab repo, it’ll just have to be downloaded directly.

I think about this Jaron Lanier talk a lot.

Looking for Notes App for Android & Linux

I am trying to slowly de-Google-ify myself by moving to open source apps, I wanna ditch google notes and evernote. I tried obsidian, standard notes, and joplin, I liked using obsidian on PC and standard notes looks nice on android but obsidian you need to pay to have sync and standard notes doesn’t do markdown unless you pay...

Sounds like crypt.ee would be a good fit.

Should be required reading IMO for anyone ever on Github :P

Fixed.

I got someone to use Signal recently, because I don’t text outside of it. Last week, she asked me why that is. I sent this Bruce Schneier essay on the eternal value of privacy to someone who knows absolutely nothing about tech, and she understood.

I’m gonna try it again next time it comes up with someone else. I think this essay does a really good job of putting it into perspective, so I’m hoping this is the silver bullet I can continue to send when someone asks.

Overall, in general, I try to keep it in real world terms. Why do you close the door when you go to the bathroom? Why do you lock your doors? Why do you have curtains/blinds? etc., along with what some other intelligent people responded here.

It’d be helpful to learn more about your requirements. Does it need to be open source? Any must-have features? Native apps? Etc.

I wanna see a movie called “Protocols, Not Platforms”

retiolus, to opensource

Do you know of any online solutions for creating forms (open-source if possible) that have an API for generating unique links to the same form? @opensource

hiramfromthechi, (edited )
@hiramfromthechi@lemmy.world avatar

I may not be fully understanding your use case, but Baserow has forms and is API-first. It sounds like it would do it, if I’m understanding correctly.

It’s open source and has both hosted and self-hosted versions.
