It’s not like Firefox doesn’t collect user data at all. Vivaldi is hard to seriously fault in that area.

Unfortunately, Firefox lacks some features that make it a little clumsy at times. But for general use it is great. I keep it installed and use it almost every day because I believe in the browser engine and the need for diversity in that area. It’s just not for every need. At least not for me. That’s where Vivaldi and Edge have to help.

I’d venture out there and say Vivaldi in functionality and customisation.

Privacy probably not, though Vivaldi does quite well.

Sadly it’s a Chromium browser.

Edit: a simple comparison.

Chromium - and thus Google - dominates the Internet way too much. This causes trouble and has the potential to cause a lot more trouble in the future.

This has been discussed many times before, of course.

You don’t watch other shows. You start over with Star Trek.

😁

Discovery had it’s moments.

From a Star Trek universe perspective it hit way too many lows, though. This is just my opinion, of course. I found it hard to sit through some episodes. The actors are generally great, but there is too much cheap dialogue (listen to some of the Season 2 and 3 “Picard” dialogue in comparison!), underdeveloped characters, statements like the above that were written without even considering how they might age… well, this was discussed ad nauseam in many places, so I’ll stop the rant before it starts.

Thank you Discovery for showing us what doesn’t work. Other shows learned from you.

I mean, if you want to relive the glory days, here you go.

Reply here with a screenshot or PM me when you’re done, please. 😁

In all fairness, nothing beat Windows 8 on tablets. The touch controls were fantastic. Was disappointed when 10 got rid of them.

highly anticipated Windows 12

Microsoft wants to make the taskbar appear to float above the desktop by separating it from the desktop and rounding off the corners

Who gets excited about that!?

Plus, all the (always online, storing everything we say, type and look at) AI features should be looked at critically and not with high anticipation.

Thank you for your suggestion of Tumbleweed (I assume you are writing about). Checking that out as well.

Can you expand on this? A source would be great here to properly debunk this.

It’s actually quite liberating to switch it off every now and then and just go about ones business without it.

I’ll do you a few better. Others have done it before. Here are some examples of excellent posts on the subject. Search Lemmy a bit and you’ll find many more.

• It’s foolish to think open source isn’t possible on Android.
• The “I’m New to F-Droid” Starter Pack

A website that lists quite a number of Android FOSS apps:

• Android FOSS Apps List

And here is an entire community dedicated to that topic:

• FOSS for Android

This is either a work of singular art or complete and utter madness.

There’s only one course of action: will try no matter the cost.

Also, thank you for using the metric system, fellow global citizen.

Replaced a lot of apps on my phone with FOSS alternatives.

For a public spokesperson, this is such a hostile and condescending response:

Asked if Reddit could confirm the reinstatement, Rathschmidt declined, saying, “I’m not going to set a precedent of confirming with The Verge every action we do or don’t take to ensure users can access their communities.”

I love the way I would keep my stuff safe:

Now you just need to disperse the horcruxes around the house on various USBs or online locations and hope you can recall where they all are!

AIMP for all your music needs.

There’s even a mobile version.

I think this is key. Have the possibility to move an account to another instance or have it spread out somehow. This would also secure the account in case an instance dies for some reason.

Am super new. What happens with my account if “my” Lemmy instance shuts down? What are my safeguards?
