In the case of Brave and Vivaldi, they add their own undesirable parts (Brave adds crypto bullshit and Vivaldi is closed-source, so $DEITY knows what they’re adding).

Librewolf is open and doesn’t contribute to the Chromium monoculture; so it’s the best option

I live close to CNU and never knew this. I probably should have assumed something like this happened considering this whole region is built upon the exploitation of PoC.

The difference between the Fediverse and a closed system like reddit is that it’s open and we’re privy to haphazardly implemented functionality and bad API documentation.

I work on big closed source web apps for a living; they’re just as haphazard and badly documented, it’s just all closed.

I don’t think anyone liked it. More like tolerated it because of a combination of network effects and it being less shitty than Facebook.

At least, that’s why I was on Twitter. People I wanted to follow were there.

You could switch to the ESR branch, which gets feature updates much less frequently.

For those who don’t want to read TFA: the brands are Gilead and NYU Lagone Hospital

I’ve been using Android phones for a decade now. My Pixel 6 is the best experience I’ve had with Android in those 10 years. I’ve had an OG Moto X, a Galaxy S9, a Pixel 3a, and now this 6. (I also had a brief stint with an iPhone in 2016)

The 6 and 3a have been the only ones that I’ve had without a manufacturer skin or carrier bloatware and it’s been pretty great. The Pixel 6 is the only phone I’ve had matches that iPhone I had in terms of polish and reliability.

Listing only things that haven’t been listed

• Seal: video downloader that lives in the “share” menu
• Aegis: TOTP/Google Authenticator clone that’s open source
• personalDNSfilter: an in device vpn that lets you block websites (mostly ads) (blocks in app ads too for quite a few apps!)

I still do. But then I remember that its gone and I put my phone back down and find something else to do.

I’ve seen both AntennaPod and PocketCasts mentioned; I’ve used both over the years. I liked AntennaPod; the only reason that I stopped using it was because I switched to Spotify since that let me pick up listening from where I left off on my desktop. I moved to PocketCasts afterwards because I’ve been slowly trying to get off of Spotify (and because they open-sourced their mobile apps). I don’t like that they require premium to have it sync with the webplayer, but it works.

The XDG Base Directory standard has kinda sorta been doing that; and I like it. Not everything supports it; and it’s not perfect, but at least it’s better than the wild west that application configs used to be.

Same; especially with how everyone and their dog is releasing a Chrom{e,ium} reskin.
