  • Just installed Mint for my elderly in-laws

    Jump

  • I've made good experiences with RustDesk as an open source alternative to TeamViewer. Note the ID, set it up with a permanent password and you'll have easy access without painful OTPs.

  • The shop app says my package will arrive tomorrow but it hasn't even moved from its start point in Hong Kong yet

    Jump

  • You can't fight it all, all the time. Arguably patronizing a small shop through Shopify is much better than patronizing Amazon.

    This is a good read on the topic.

  • The EU made Apple adopt new Wi-Fi standards, and now Android can support AirDrop

    Jump

  • But Quick Share isn't actually part of AOSP is it? :(

    Looks like everyone will have to implement this for themselves and it'll be a mess.

  • Relatable

    Jump

  • I take it this is Japan.. ;)

  • Europe’s cookie law messed up the internet. Brussels wants to fix it.

    Jump

  • I can hear the lobbyists (both civil society and big tech, mainly the big tech ones) marching towards Brussels right now. This will be as heated as the Digital Markets Act.

    Fighting is expected to flare up again next year, when the Commission wants to present an advertising-focused piece of legislation called the Digital Fairness Act. The executive has stated that the rulebook will help protect consumers online, including from manipulative design or unfair personalization.

  • Isn't brave supposed to be "private"?

    Jump

  • Yeah, Zorin did this recently too. They made some good arguments on why Mozilla's trustworthiness has nosedived these past few years, but awkwardly centered on a ToS change that didn't really amount to much.

    They didn't make a case for why Brave is more trustworthy, though.. (and I'm not sure one can)

  • (EU) Cheap Prepaid SIM with little to no top up requirement?

    Jump

  • Thank you so much for reporting back :D

  • Chat Control 2.0

    Jump

  • Yup, that's it.

    Jump

  • It's the good old network effect. Telekom appears to be kind of expensive but getting an eSIM in general appears to be a valid (and likely cheaper) option.

  • That's very helpful, thanks!

  • Hm, was expecting there to be some kind of artificial hurdle preventing me from getting a foreign SIM. But looks like I can just choose any SIM I like (read: minimal top up fees) from a country without annoying KYC regulations. The shipping fees to Germany for the shop linked above are reasonable.

    Will report back if I find a cheaper deal in case someone else is interested. Thanks!

  • Google Photos app uploaded all my locally saved pictures completely against my will

  • /e/OS is a good option to regain privacy from Google, but arguably does some things worse in terms of security than stock.

    You can find a good comparison here.

    For the Fairphone 5, I'd recommend CalyxOS as soon as they're back from their hiatus. In the meantime, might as well stick with stock.

  • Unless users take action, Android will let Gemini access third-party apps

    Jump

  • Unfortunately the reviews on Trustpilot and posts on Reddit make it painfully obvious that their customer service is basically nonexistent. Combined with the typical random account-closing most fintechs are known for, this is not a reliable option.

    Looking at this comparison, iCard might be an option if you desperately need a way to use NFC payments on your phone. Reviews are good, but it appears to be a prepaid system. Lots of fees to get lost in, too.

    But old school might be just fine, too. I just realized my card does fit into my phone case!

  • Wifi adapter linux issue pls help (joke)

    Jump

  • Love that you have to specify it's a joke because someone here would legitimately try to help otherwise

  • Which animal would you domesticate if you could pick one?

    Jump

  • I too want to domesticate a Firefox

  • "The insultingly low salary you would have accepted is still too high."

  • Hold up aren't you the person who ditched the U.S. for Britain like a month ago?

    Hope you get a job soon, keep on searching! Miracles happen when you least expect them :)
