  • Supporting EU Innovation: My Shift Away from US Tech Giants

  • I mean, even if you're using the same password everywhere (which I know some of these people aren't doing because they've forgotten their password for some accounts while not losing access to every single account they have), it's harder to actually sit and type out a password every single time. Using your default password manager, you don't really have to think or do anything, just tap once on the screen and maybe authenticate your biometrics, that's all.

  • Switching from iPhone 15 Pro to Fairphone 5: An experience

    Jump

  • I've kinda wanted a Fairphone, but the last time I checked, it was way too expensive for me. And I don't think that it's easy to get them in India either :/

  • I've tried for a couple of years to get people to use one, and I could only get one person to use a password manger. So yeah. It is actually very surprisingly hard to get people to do something that is not only simple, but ignoring the security benefits, it will also improve the quality of their life and makes things easier.

  • Firefox alternatives?

  • Bro ignored the second part of the comment. If you just want to complain and be obtuse, then go ahead.

  • Ironically the war ended when Trump took power lol.

  • You don't need all that much RAM to be honest. You don't need to use two of them at the same time either to compartmentalise your life. And my second paragraph covers the case that you'd prefer if you don't wanna compartmentalise.

  • What alternative did Bernie Sanders support? The same fucking guys that beat up American students protesting. And we saw how ready the Democrats were towards criticism when Kamala said "I'm speaking".

    The supposed "far more ready to crticize bullshit" LMAO. In practise, regardless of what each claims, Democrats and Republicans are two wings of the same party.

  • fuck this

    Jump

  • Lmao look at all the downvotes you got for being right. If a Democrat was in power right now and did the exact same things that Trump is doing right now, the liberals that are (rightfully) criticising Trump so much would defend the Democrat with their lives.

  • Firefox alternatives?

    Jump

  • Ah that does makes sense. I didn't think about that. I still do hope it'll go well though, simply because more options will be available.

  • Firefox alternatives?

    Jump

  • Oh also, Ladybird Browser, is being developed. It is not based off of Mozilla Firefox or Google Chromium or Safari. They're building their own browser independently without getting any code from other browsers. The Alpha release is planned to come out on 2026.

  • I somehow missed reading about the part about syncing. Pretty sure LibreWolf and IronFox does allow that as well, you need to enable it somewhere in the settings and log into your Mozilla account I guess.

  • Firefox alternatives?

    Jump

  • Depends on your specific case, but IMO in order of preference for deskop, Tor Browser as much as possible, followed by Mullvad Browser as much as you can, for scenarios where you cannot use Tor Browser, followed by LibreWolf for the few sites that require persistent logins (you'll need to enable setting cookies for those specific sites). There's also other Firefox forks like GNU IceCat (unofficial binary for it), Floorp and Zen Browser.

    For a less complicated alternative, just swap out Firefox with LibreWolf. Just make sure to read the ENTIRE docs to save yourself from any nasty surprises. Especially about RFP (Resist Fingerprinting), WebGL, Canvas, etc.

    On Andriod, again, there's Tor Browser, IronFox, Fennec F-Driod. Additionally if you want a browser based on a different engine, there's Cromite, which is based off of Chromium, but it's probably better to stay with a less commonly used engine like Firefox rather than keep using the mainstream monopoly of Google.

    As an aside, this video helped me understand some stuff better and it seems to be less of Mozilla being untrustworthy and more about them being total losers in communication. I recommend checking it out.

  • What people did Zionism ruin for you?

  • Oh wow Steven Wilson is a fucking zionist? Holy shit that is actually surprising. I enjoy his work a lot. I'm not the kind to have anything for popular figures, but his stuff has really helped me through some of my low times. It's disappointing. Thanks for letting me know.

  • I guess we're getting gun control folks!

    Jump

  • Nah, you are right. Any organisation and method that can actually change the society in a meaningfully better way will have the state try their best to kill them. But if we work for the masses and the masses realise that, then they will also be part of the movement, and the state cannot kill everybody.

    We need to learn from their weak points so that we won't make the same mistake and last longer, and then the successive generation will learn from our weak points so that they won't make the mistakes that we do, and last longer. That's how I guess things might go forward.

    But we also need to remember that after the Black Panthers, there has not been any organisation in the USA or any other urban area that have stayed as long and made as much of a difference, so we must also see where they went right, and emulate that in our current scenario as well.

  • Black Panther my love 😍

    The working class and other marginalised people really must learn them and bring back a movement like this. America and the world really needs them.

  • I got it from ollama. You can select what version you want and how many parameters the model has. There are probably a few other mirror sites, but for now I think you could try out with this, until the law is passed and comes into effect.
