I remember seeing your original post.

Now, how about one step further:
How in heavens can you make Thunar show embedded thumbnails instead of auto-generated ones?

And this is why I like Androids feature that automatically revokes permissions after a certain timeframe of not using an app

I am actually using a degoogled phone, and the only thing I’m missing are push notifications, for one single app. Everything else I use works just fine for me, but as always, ymmv

Yeah, the default lineage cam today can’t do a whole lot either

I’m using DivestOS on a OnePlus 5T, runs like a charm.

But Divest is in dire need of funding right now, and might not be able to continue development, so that’s something to keep in mind, sadly

GrapheneOS seems to be the all out best, from what I can tell. It’s just that their strict requirements needed to achieve this level of privacy and especially security severly limit the selection of devices you can use, which is a bummer.

I’d love it if Signal officially supported UnifiedPush, it seems to be the most promising direct alternative to FCM. They started talking about quantum-resistant encryption or whatever, but at the same time resorted to using a websocket.

Which is pretty much the least elegant way of doing it. Not something I’d expect from them, to be honest.

Then there’s Tuta Mail, they have a much better way of handling push notifications, but it’s still their own thing too, and instead of promoting something like UnifiedPush, they write blogposts dragging Protonmail for not having an alternative.

(Which I’m also annoyed by, but their posts about it seemed a bit pretentious, which I just hate to see.)

Which is fair, but I’d still like to have the option to manually type in my area code, instead of having to turn on gps.

To be clear, I haven’t come across a weather app that doesn’t allow that, but I also wouldn’t be surpised if there are some out there.

Development of that has stopped, they are currently working on a new fork called Tubular, which has the additional option of being able to login with a YT account.

Newpipe itself is also currently deciding on whether to do a complete rewrite or not, so the coming months might be a bit slow in terms of new features.

Not just guys, let me tell you

I haven’t seen it used much in a non-gendered way, so I guess that’s why it has a clear masculine ring in my head

I mean, if anyone, Captain Lezbian is the person who needs to have one

miss_brainfart, 5 months ago

The only reason it’s like that is because devices come preinstalled with Windows. I would love if we had the Linux option that makes the device cost less

40+ is where it gets really interesting, introducing the possibility of getting delirious with weirdly unsettling hallucinations.

Don’t fuel them by watching TV is all I’m gonna say.

Working should really happen on a separate network though, business has no business being conducted on a private one.

My bank actually reccommends Firefox alongside Chrome and Safari.

Which is pretty much the only thing I can respect about them, sadly.

never really bothered with the spinoffs, as the model of Arch makes them useless and more problematic to deal with

I highly enjoy using EndeavourOS. But then again, I wouldn’t classify it as a spinoff, it’s pretty much vanilla Arch, but purple.

Now Manjaro on the other hand… Tried it and understood why so many people don’t like it within the first week.

Well damn, federation took its sweet time to show me your reply

I only know Ohio as the state that will be invaded by femboys armed with Nerf guns, and a kiwi trans girl leading them

miss_brainfart, 6 months ago

Kiwi as in from New Zealand

If they transparently inform buyers about the account requirement and what that means, then they have done their duty and are compliant, I’d say.

Not that I like that.

But as long as the consumer knows everything they need to know to make an informed decision about the product they’re going to use, it’s all good.

Now, this decision also needs to be voluntary, so if there are some dark patterns or other carefully constructed circumstances bullying the consumer into accepting all the bs, then that would violate the GDPR.

But what is voluntary or not is hard to say, for many products and services. Can be argued either way, and you better believe it will be argued either way.

Not everyone can do everything at once, and doing something is better than doing nothing at all.

miss_brainfart, 6 months ago

You can have it if you want to, I don’t really need it

miss_brainfart, 6 months ago

Really? You’re missing out.

They’re not called fever dreams for nothing.
