  • First thank you for the work (always keeping server up to date, fixing issues quickly, blocking spam,...).

    Now time to think about migrating, any advices for another great instance?

  • You can also give a try to Waterfox. The main advantage, in my opinion, is that the privacy settings are not enforced like in librewolf but let to the user appreciation but telemetry from mozilla is removed as well.

  • Personnally, I started never answering to any unknown number (masked caller id or even just numbers not in my contacts). When it's legit, caller leave a message on voicemail. Scammer, direct marketing,... never leave messages. Ok I still get the call and have to ignore or reject it (but it's better than answering and having a commercial starting his speech).

  • Somehow related, I have also questions as an European (Belgian) who then observe what is happening right now in the USA with curiosity (and fear to be honest). Please don't take any offense in this question, the purpose is, for me, to understand, not criticize Americans at all. I work with plenty of them who don't look stupid at all (but I'll never dare to speak politics with colleagues, a bit of a "touchy" topic with people you don't know well).

    In my country, we have got a new government almost at the same time Trump was inaugurated. They plan to do some changes to the way some aspects of our society is, changes that are a bit difficult for some categories of the population but really nothing like in the USA. Anyway, since January, there have been strikes, protests, people going in the streets,...

    Why are we not seeing such things in the USA? I would have thought that there will be millions of people in the streets protesting against the F-gesture done to democracy, LGBT rights, women rights, nonsense with economy (tarriff, that at the end the "middle class workers" will have to pay) and foreign politics but, as far as we are aware here in Europe, I seen no such protests. The only action I seen is some boycott of Tesla.

    • Is it a cultural difference with Europe (and other parts of the world) to not go in the streets?
    • Are those occurring but the medias do not inform us on it?
    • Are people scared to protest?
    • Or, people just don't care or are even, in majority, happy with what happens now?

  • The original Atkinson Hyperlegible (without Next) is available by default on some Kobo e-readers. I use it for a few months now and I find that indeed it helps reading at night (or without my glasses because it's nice to remove them from time to time).

  • Waow I didn't knew this project. Maybe a good alternative to my current solution (rsync through termux over SSH on my fileserver).

  • This is fair, as long as you still allow to add own search engine it's good enough (I re-added qwant but I'm testing out alternatives a bit (searxng (public instance first), startpage and re-give a go to ddg to see if it improved a bit for local results)

  • I wanna try Searx too, I'll document myself a bit more about it.

  • This is how I interpreted the policy too but wanted to be sure about it. It's so easy to get lost in juridic language.

  • Privacy @lemmy.ml

    Is Qwant still good privacy wise?

  • Ok done a bit the reverse as many here: came from Heliboard and tested out FUTO (thanks to this post and some others telling it was great). And indeed, it works pretty well, better than Heliboard, especially in English (~40% of my use on Android - I'm French native speaker so most messaging is in French and I use English for some search, lemmy,...). So that's say in French, futo is not as good as in English (suggestions are often less accurate than in English) but it's still better than Heliboard. The swipe works better too (and doesn't require an external (proprietary) library). The only drawbacks I see until now is the limitation to 3 suggestions in the suggestions bar, with Heliboard there was a 3 dot menu giving more suggestions and the lack of spellchecker.

  • Indeed just issuing a warning at connection or so "keep in mind to drive safely and keep an eye on the road" would be more appropriate IMHO. There is the same kind of restrictions with Waze, you cannot access the keyboard when driving and are forced to use the speech recognition which is often difficult (especially in foreign countries where street names are in foreign language).

  • So simple, no images, no videos, no bullshit this just works... Now mainly out of habits and because I have some friends on it... Also some nostalgia about the time internet was more than http and so on

  • Using a self-hosted thelounge too and, as alternative if my home connection drop or so, I have irssi in termux.

  • Of course, it's the best proto for chat, I use it actively everyday since 1997.

  • As of now, I backup stuff (mainly pictures) from my phone to a linux file server using rsync in termux (launched through the tasker plugin and automate). I search a replacement to get rid of the automate application that I need only for that, is not Foss and require to run in background in order to use it. Do you think Syncthing can deserve my use case ? Of course I can RTFM but...
