Hi, I'm Miss Brainfart.

I'm afraid of sharks, with the exception being blåhaj. What could that possibly mean, huh.(That's not a hint, I genuinely have no idea)

Lemmings can also find me @miss_brainfart:catgirl.cloud on Matrix, if they desire to do so for e2ee reasons

  • What distros have you tried and thought, "Nope, this one's not for me"?

  • 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.

  • New Plasma 6 Default Icon Theme Looks

  • The icons don't all speak the same language, true. Some are way more elaborate and detailed than others, which just makes them look off.

    Maybe the library could be a single book instead of an entire bookshelf, for example?

  • Comparison of Android ROMs

    Jump

  • I've been using it for almost two years now, and I like it a lot. (small disclaimer, I'm running it on a OnePlus 5T, which is one of their so-called golden devices that it runs best on)

    It's pretty much the next best thing after Graphene, if you don't want to buy a Pixel.

    The guy who maintains it does an excellent job of documenting issues, what works on what device, what the system itself can and can't do, it's very transparent.

    He doesn't overpromise either, and explicitely states that getting a Pixel with Graphene is the better option overall. Greatly appreciate the honesty.

    I'll use it for as long as he'll support my device, and then we'll see if I switch to Graphene.

    One important thing though: While you can install microG, DivestOS doesn't officially support it, and while most things work, some don't. SafetyNet, for instance.

  • DivestOS absolutely slaps. Well, all things considered

    Edit: It's absolutely fantastic for what it is, and that is fact. Maintained by a single person, well documented, and doesn't promise more than it can deliver.

    Mates, that ship has long sailed

  • It's now my main project for the past year.

  • What are the best apps for managing ADHD?

    Jump

  • What it spits out from just the words clean room is pretty damn great, more than enough to convince me. And while I'm generally very careful with AI, I think in this instance it's best for me to swallow my damn pride, and accept the help it can give me.

    The About section does mention the wish to move this to open source solutions, which I'd very much love to see. I'm looking forward to whenever that can happen.

  • What are the best apps for managing ADHD?

    Jump

  • Oh, that looks really promising. But I'm extremely hesitant to use something like this if it can't be done 100% local and offline

    Edit: Maybe I'll use it just for the most basic, non-personal stuff, like cleaning my room. Actually yeah, I think that's okay

  • Google engineers want to introduce DRMs for web pages, making ad-blocking near-impossible in the browser

    Jump

  • The main problem with us users is that we are god damn lazy. We want everything to be the most convenient it possibly can be.

    Remember when Apple updated iOS to allow users to stop cross-app tracking, which severly upset the Zuck, that absolute manchild?

    Turns out that if you actually inform people and give them a clear choice to make, the overwhelming majority of users do in fact not agree with being tracked, as an example.

  • One comment mentions possible incompability with article 22 of the GDPR, and I sure hope the EU will stand their ground on this.

    I can only imagine noyb letting all hell break loose. We need more people like him, dissecting corporations legal bs to find every last little thing we can possibly hold against them.
