  • Despite not being easy to find, most news sites still have RSS feeds. They are great for just getting the news from sources I trust instead of big tech algorithm recommend blogspam. It is also possible to get RSS feeds from subreddits and Mastodon.

  • pinephone?

    Jump

  • It is fun to play with, but it is not suitable to use as a primary phone. It has poor battery life and is very slow.

  • Google threatened tech influencers unless they ‘preferred’ the Pixel

    Jump

  • Google has done price increases the last 2 or 3 years, so they no longer have a price advantage. Samsung also has the same 7 year support window.

  • Proton is transitioning towards a non-profit structure | Proton

    Jump

  • Proton is still a for-profit company and has shareholders who expect to to make money. The change is that the largest shareholder of the for-profit company is now a separate non-profit organization. It is still a positive move, but not entirely what the marketing makes it seem.

  • OpenSUSE is the best

    Jump

  • openSUSE also remains one of the only distributions that have automatic Btrfs snapshots setup out of the box. I am very surprised other distributions have not done the same. Especially Fedora, since they use Btrfs already.

  • Do you use Pocket or other Read Later App?

    Jump

  • I use Pocket because it is compatible with my Kobo ereader.

  • VPN by Google One shuts down

    Jump

  • Everyone already anticipates new Google services to fail. Expecting people to spend hundreds of dollars on content that is locked to a service run by a company that is known for canceling services after a couple of years was always going to fail.

    Stadia was essentially just a demo of Google’s cloud capabilities. Even if Stadia was a massive success, it would still be a drop in the bucket compared to Google’s ad revenue and have no impact on stock price.

  • VPN by Google One shuts down

    Jump

  • Ironically, if Google were upfront about how it would handle the shutdown, it likely would have increased consumer confidence enough that Stadia may not have needed to be shutdown.

  • Amazon Mulls $5 to $10 monthly price tag for unprofitable Alexa service, AI revamp

  • Proton will still be a for-profit company that will be majority-controlled by a non-profit. The non-profit will not own all of the business either, so there will still be profits going to shareholders.

  • Which is the same structure that Proton is moving to.

  • Probably a stupid question, but what can I do to 'degoogle' a Google Pixel 8?

    Jump

  • Google does not let you unlock the boot loader if the device is carrier locked. It needs to get paid off and unlocked before the boot loader can be unlocked to install custom roms.

  • If checking their email a couple of times per year is too high a requirement, I would not recommend the time and effort necessary to maintain a mail server. Even people who enjoy self-hosting often do not want to host a mail server.

  • Telegram founder and CEO alledges signal has backdoors, they don't provide reproduceible builds, etc.

    Jump

  • Signal still requires a phone number to use it. What they recently added is the ability to message people without needing to know their phone number.

  • What podcasts have you been listening to the most during the year?

    Jump
    • Firewalls Don’t Stop Dragons
    • Surveillance Report
    • 2.5 Admins
    • Self-Hosted
    • Philosophize This
    • Frequent Miler

  • What Calendar and To Do solution do you recommend?

    Jump

  • I use Radicale for my calendars, reminders, and contacts precisely because of how minimal it is. It has been very reliable for me and is very easy to back up and restore since it is just files.

  • What email provider do you use for sign ups?

    Jump

  • Create a different alias for everything using a service like:

    • SimpleLogin
    • Addy (AnonAddy)
    • Firefox Relay
    • Apple Hide My Email

  • Why I ditched Gmail for Proton Mail

    Jump

  • Yes. With MXroute, you pay for storage and can create as many accounts, emails, aliases, etc. as you want.

  • Amazon, Google and why you can't just invent a blockbusting games developer

    Jump

  • If Google would have said upfront that all purchases would be refunded when Stadia shuts down, it likely would have increased confidence enough that people would actually use it.
