That is fucking epic. I had (not anymore) a similar issue with my wife and ads about shoes and coats. So I allowed all the crap on her devices only on Adguard Home.
Then her phone died, I gave her mine with GrapheneOS on it,until she could get a new one. The first 2 weeks were a pain: "where's the playstore?", "what is this gayscale chrome (Vanadium)?", "My banking app keeps crashing", etc. After a while we started spending more time doing things together, she was spending more time with the kids, and was being way more productive I was her business.
Long story short, she kept the phone, I ended up getting a new one, and she even asked me to remove Windows from her computer and set her up with Fedora.
It's a habit thing, I think.

Right? They've done some good stuff over the years, but that does not eliminate the fact that they have chosen to be part of all the enshitification going on.

Tubular has been working for me (97.5763% of the time) and so has Grayjay (98% of the time).
However, I do agree that we need a more effective way to just watch and enjoy. Unfortunately most creators are not willing to even entertain the idea of moving to a different platform.

They are not trying to "replace" cookies. This is effectively adding yet another way to track users. Sure, may not be as invasive as cookies, but this does nothing to remove or modify them either.
Then there's the fact thay they deployed this behind the scenes and did not mention it until they were called out.
This comment alone:
"As part of this work, we are also committing to being transparent and open about our intent and plans prior to launching tests or features."
... means they have no intention to be honest about shit.

The Pixel 9 line had GrapheneOS avaliable a couple of days after launch. That's how fast. You order the phone, and by the time you got it, GrapheneOS was ready to replace Stock Android.

I own my Pixel 8 Pro. No root. GrapheneOS. So, your logic is therefore flawed.

I believe that is the case with m.2 across the board. POST takes forever, boot seems to be instant.

Same experience. I really like PopOS, so much so that from my last Alienware I moved to a System76 Gazelle 16. But you're right, PopOS would just randomly lag for absolutely no reason (not often, but certainly in the worst possible moment). I tried for about a year on and off alternating with Fedora, no I've been exclusively (almost, with some distro-hopping here and there) for 2 years, and I've never had an issue.

It's pretty capable of blocking a lot of YouTube and Google bullshit. You could just use it for that.

Everyone should have the choice to delete their content, regardless of the reason, the same way, everyone should have the choice to leave their content as well.
I for one choose to leave my posts and comments, no matter how bright or stupid, and if I'm proven wrong (which happens more than I care to admit) I give the win to whomever countered my comment, and that tends to keep the discussions going and bringing new ideas and points of view. Also, if I believe it may have been offensive (not to be confused with someone else finding anything offensive, that's their opinion) I have no problem apologizing. I would like to see more people just doing that as I believe it makes for a more open discussion.

Ok, you're right. I have to agree that it being worthwhile for me doesn't make it so for others. Can't disagree with you on that. I'll down vote myself for not reading your comment with the intent to understand before I replied. And, honestly, thanks for pointing out that I did not really get it, for real.

That's my point. They learned to remove cancer, and yet, can't remove them all. I learned to use GnuLinux, to make it work, regardless of distro, yet some things just fail. So, again, what's your point?
What's keeping anyone from learning anything other than the desire and effort?
You chose to bring up that ridiculous comparison only to confirm what I said. Ran out of hentai to watch or something? 🤣🤣
I'm entertaining the idea of starting a digital privacy and security blog. As a matter of fact, I am self hosting it right now, but mainly for friends, family and acquaintances. It's super basic, more rants than articles honestly, 🤣 Since the only 2 social networks I have are Lemmy and Mastodon, I've been avoiding allowing sharing to Facebook, Twitter and other mainstream SNs. My wife thinks I should just host it on a cloud and share it everywhere with the argument of, and I quote, "the platforms you use are already full of people as paranoid as you. If you really want to bring your knowledge and experience to others, you should allow us to share to the platforms full of people oblivious to the dangers you constantly slam us with" (which is absolutely true. I'm a thorn on their side, lol. What do you guys think? Should I add features to share to those places? Would you if it was you? Under no circumstances will I post on any of them, and if I allow to share from my blog, my inner circle would be the one doing the sharing. I do want to help spread our gospel, but I think that most people in those platforms are just to far gone to even care. I don't even know what to think anymore. I've only written 2 articles so far anyway, so it's not like I'd be the New York Times of privacy or anything.
This is absolutely ridiculous. Imagine some fuckers just coming into your room while you're with your SO making love or something.

If you are having issues with Mullvad in Linux (Flatpak) and getting a message along the lines of ""Your profile 'MullvadBrowser' could not be loaded"", it's a known bug and the only workaround right now is to use the test version: `flatpak install --user https://dl.flathub.org/build-repo/112221/net.mullvad.MullvadBrowser.flatpakref` ::: spoiler spoiler ___ :::
I just got this email from Sony. My kids use their profiles offline (meaning they don't even have a playstation account) on their PS4, and use my games. And now they want to allow kids to link their other accounts (my kids only have a SimpleX user to chat with their family, LOL). The sad thing is that a lot of parents will go: "Nice, they can now have it all in one place!" Love how they say this at the end: *Stay tuned for more details. In the meantime, we recommend talking to your child about account linking **so that they can safely enjoy these new features** while playing on PlayStation.* They fucking call these FEATURES!

This may end up being a bit convoluted, so I will do my best to keep it as short as possible and to the point. I have a US number with Google Fi, have had it for about 8 years. This is the only reason why I still maintain that one Google account. The benefit is that I only use it when I am in the United States, and when I'm not, I just pause the service and don't get charged. However, I feel the string need to completely eliminate Google from my life permanently. Does anyone know of a service similar to this one? It can be an MVNO or VOIP for my phone, and I would like to port my number as well. I found "phoner", but I can't pause the service, so I would be stuck paying a bill I don't use as much or loosing my number. If the service is private (not to be confused with anonymous, of course) even better.
I have a trusty UnRaid server that has been running great for almost 3 years now, with some kinks and headaches here and there, but mostly very stable. Now I'm entertaining the idea of setting that box up with ProxMox, and running UnRaid virtualized. The reason being that I want to use UnRaid exclusively as a NAS and then run all dockers and VMs on ProxMox (at least that's how I'm picturing it). I would like to know your opinion on this idea. All I have is Nextcloud, Immich, Vaultwarden, Jellyfin, Calibre, Kavita and a Windows VM I use to update some hardware every now and then. I mainly want to do that for the backup capabilities in ProxMox for each instance. Storage is not a concern, and I have 64GB of ECC Ram running in that box. What are the Pros and Cons, or is it even worth it to move all this to ProxMox?
I need some help figuring out how to install all the DKMS drivers, and firmware manager, firmware daemon, etc on Silverblue. It's easy on Fedora but I haven't found a single instance explaining how to do it in a Fedora atomic distro. These are the instructions for Fedora. https://support.system76.com/articles/system76-driver/
So, apparently for no reason, my Voyager app started crashing this morning whenever I touched any of the replies to my comments. I tried with and without VPN, custom DNS, automatic DNS, Rethink enabled and disabled, and it just keeps crashing. Yes, I cleared data, un-installed and reinstalled, and it is still happening. Anyone else having this issue? I thought I'd ask here first before opening a bug report on Github. Edit: Forgot to mention I'm on version 2.8.0 from Github. Edit 2: Available version from F-Droid, 2.6.0, does not preset this issue. Edit 3: [Finally got to reporting it. Sorry for the delay.](https://github.com/aeharding/voyager/issues/1458)
Finally got my wife away from Windows and on Fedora 40 (Gnome 46). Now, when her PC goes to suspend and when she wakes it up, one of her 2 monitors doesn't wake up. Both are connected to HDMI ports (no dedicated video card, just the integrated card in her Ryzen 9). Any ideas on what could be happening? I wouldn't want her to go back to Winblows over something so insignificant, but she would.

I set up a Raspberry Pi 3 with AdguardHome for a friend of mine, and told him to disconnect everything at home and try to watch anything on his phone, being the only device using his home's internet. He just sent me this, and now he's ready to #degoogle 🤣🤣🤣 He says there were hundreds in less than 5 minutes.
I've looked under my bed, in our pantry,and even went under the deck, nothing. Please help me find a FOSS android keyboard in which I can have the numbers to the right of the keyboard, like a computer keyboard keypad, even better if it has gifs.. The only android keyboard I know about that has that option is Swiftkey. Being a Microsoft app, you can understand why I'm not willing to use it anymore. AnySoftKeyboard and Florisboard don't have the option,at least I could not find it.
