I’m preaching to the choir here on Lemmy but I’m glad that I made the jump to Linux last year

Samesies. What has become increasingly frustrating is that many opt-out emails require me to disable tracker control. It should be illegal to force tracking to avoid future tracking
There’s also cheat as well
I want to second cycling. It’s a good way to explore your city for free as well as getting shape. There are often cycling groups that you can join as well if you want to socialize on top of it
Does anyone have any suggestions for a Garmin watch? Alternatively, since the battery is on its last legs, I am probably overdue to buy a new watch if anyone has any FOSS-friendly suggestions (either out the box or after disabling certain sync functionality outside of my local lan)
Same. It was definitely an adjustment as a former ChromeOS user. There were some minor issues like getting playback for streaming services and maybe 1-2% of the unique websites I visit not being built properly for Firefox but it’s pretty infrequent and you develop a quick workflow to resolve the issues. I have a backup version of Chromium that I use as an emergency browser.
I use a Firefox fork (Floorp) which gives me PWAs capabilities which was the last hurdle for me.
I enjoyed reading the article. To me, the perspective of the owner reminds me of the owners of Brave in that they are Libertarian in ways that seem aligned with mainstream views at a glance but the Venn diagram also overlaps with a disdain for regulation, while portraying a (potential) facade of being eternally infallible and trustworthy while also being a for-profit company.
Elon Musk also comes to mind in that his intelligence leaves him vulnerable to overlooking the nuances of conversations and alternative point of views. I think there’s a general over reliance on artificial intelligence as a savior that will be fully embraced that will lead to large issues in the short/long term for Kagi.
Personally, it always felt a little bit like astroturfing hearing all of the kagi fanboys in every privacy thread, but for what it’s worth, seeing them show up live In the flesh in this thread as well makes me feel a bit less like I’m talking to bots lol
Personally, I self-host my own version of searXng that only uses search engines that don’t track my IP address. I’d say that those results are good enough 90% of the time, and when I need something more granular, I use a publicly hosted version of searXng that uses Google in its results
Did we read the same article? His responses to GDPR were very concerning, and I say that as an American.
I think the issue is that constantly virtue signaling about it online has the risk of swaying other voters or making other voters check out completely
Anything with Richard linklater and Ethan Hawke is usually amazing
If you know how to write scripts in bash, that is an alternative way to trigger night mode/dark themes. You can use curl wttr.in
to get your local sunrise/sunset, write a simple IF statement if the time is greater than sunset/sunrise and automate it via cron/systemD.
Alternatively, there are a few options floating around on GitHub iirc
Glad to see a detailed review that also doubles as an installation guide. I definitely had anxiety following the docs when I took the plunge last year.
Someone already gave an extensive comment about how to set things up so I will skip that part.
Good observation re: self hosting potentially reducing privacy. The way that I keep my privacy during self-hosting is to completely avoid search engines that track my IP address, and then, ideally, although the remaining search engines are less efficient than the likes of Google or Bing, the fact that the results are aggregated hopefully increase the efficiency of the results.
For my default searches, it uses mwmbl, mojeek & qwant
I self-host searXNG, but you can use one of the public instances as well. My understanding is that it is more secure because you’re search results are commingled with whoever else uses the instance, but you also can use something like libredirect to further distribute your search results across various instances for further security
I’ve jumped around a few mobile apps since I joined the fediverse, right now the one that checks the most boxes for me is Raccoon for Lemmy
At the moment never.
This feels like a blog, in a good way. It’s interesting perspective hearing a Linux user work their way through issues, instead of the norm of being a seasoned vet. let me know if you have a blog and I’ll throw it on my RSS feed.
Yeah that’s a bit pricey for me. I might pay for one month a year or something like that…
Moving to Linux w/ a Logitech MX3 mouse, I legit spent 2-3 days troubleshooting across solaar and piper before I got logiops to work. I’ll disable it and dig around the KDE settings to try for a more integrated solution that is easily editable.
I’m going to continue buying Chromebooks because I can wipe the OS and put Linux on them.
