see Woke

it’s been coined by the Black community, essentially meaning being aware of, and alert to, the systematic injustice against them. there you go.

wait till you hear about all the other nonsense words.

(hint: all words are nonsense)

I do miss the tab bar, it would be great to have it on the tablet. I can’t comment on how differently the browser behaves now regarding storing loaded pages in memory though, because most of the time I’d have an underpowered phone that would kick out everything out of memory when switching apps anyway.

It was also much smoother

now that’s just rose-tinted glasses speaking. I remember how absolutely abysmal old Firefox’ scrolling was, and how they’ve claimed multiple times that they’ve improved it but it was still horribly sluggish compared to Chromium browsers. I’ve been using Firefox Preview (and then Nightly after enough performance improvements have landed on it) for about a year just to have acceptable experience on mobile.

WhatsApp is now in Meta’s hands

it’s been owned by Facebook/Meta for almost a decade, so I’m not sure it warrants using “now”.

way better, as it lets you choose the block lists, add custom domains or whitelist the ones that are being blocked, check the statistics on which domain is being blocked the most, and some more nifty stuff. and it’s also not made by a Russian company.

NextDNS

oh no

have you read through the comments?

you can fire up a fresh copy of element and connect it if you want

you kind of omitted the part where you have to host your own Matrix server in order to benefit from the bridges.

It’s also e2e encrypted

well, in Beeper’s case one of the ends is their server. your message gets encrypted when you send it, decrypted on Beeper’s server, and then forwarded to the service you’re bridging with.

While FeedMe isn’t on Fdroid

because it’s closed source. just a heads-up for anyone who sees it as a deal breaker.

looks good to me, with the first result being from StackOverflow.

That means Apple, Signal, WhatsApp, and a whole bunch of other services will have to interoperate by law

I don’t think Signal is big enough to be included in the requirement. and in addition to that, while the premise is pretty great I’m not that enthusiastic about Whatsapp being able to mine metadata from my conversations as a Signal user :/

Choosing a server to join seems unnecessarily difficult. At the top of the list is firefish.social marked as verified but when you click or tap to find out more you are presented with a coming soon page (not seen one of those since the 90s when everything was Under Construction).

they’re probably working on moving calckey.social server to the new domain, along with its users.

The choice of servers seems limited with a need for more general servers.

so… you’ve got 22 other servers categorized as “general” to choose from, and you want more of them, but at the same time you find choosing a server to be “unnecessarily difficult”?

a Mi Band storing everything offline with Gadgetbridge, because I don’t need Xiaomi to know how many steps I’ve made and what’s my heartbeat at a given moment.

because they have no other option.

I dunno, Piped has been a very good other option for me.

You can set up an account on TILVIDs and even follow folks on other instances.

you can follow them with your Mastodon account, as well. and even with your Lemmy account, as far as I can tell.

yeah, they were supposed to ship around the end of 2021 at first. I was hoping that once usernames and phone number privacy landed, I could encourage some internet friends to move from Snapchat and its garbage experience, but in the end I just ended up not using Snapchat and falling apart with them over time.

yes.

have you tried clicking on those bold, underlined words in that post, indicating that they’re hyperlinks?

the instructions literally link you to where install the addon from.

some people might want to avoid Feedly due to their approach to protests: https://hachyderm.io/@molly0xfff/110113208809822962

I am using chevrons for quotes in the initial comment.

which, again, is what I was answering.

and as far as I’m aware, about 0 of those are preinstalled on major distros, which is what I was answering.

Is there any antivirus installed by default on any popular linux distro?

no.

What do you use?

uBlock Origin.

none, because 1. privacy nightmare, and 2. a glorified keyboard autocorrect isn’t a replacement for a search engine.

I just wish following communities worked better. currently when you follow a Lemmy community with your Mastodon account, you’ll have ALL THE COMMENTS posted in that community’s thread boosted to your feed without any context.

classy.

since nothing indicates what that is whatsoever, the blurb from their website says:

A refreshingly simple data-driven game engine built in Rust
