Please explain to me how sending additional data from your private computer to Mozilla servers gives me more privacy and not less.
In addition, a lot of Proton services are overpriced compared to third-party offerings.
You can use your own self-hosted servers with this too.
If you want.
Self-hosting can create its own additional privacy and security issues… unless you totally trust not only the place where you put the server, but also yourself to be a security expert
Maybe they could even stop charging subscription fees for client-side features for the people who self-host…
It’s the simplicity of the whole thing. It’s got features, but they’re laid out in a way that is is simple to work with, even for developers.
Tor is Firefox, why are you calling it “a shit-quality browser” while defending Mozilla so hard
It looks like they’re just searching for people who will respond positively to their foregone decision to add the Shopping tool. I don’t know how else to read that post, especially with how the team is interacting with the responses.
(Is that AI-generated spam in the replies too?)
You’re right, it was a mobile UI issue with the columns/column labels. It’s showing the active number, but with the “users” header. It works all right in desktop mode.
Any idea why pravda(.)me, with 33 users, is listed as the 4th biggest Mastodon server when I sort by users on that site?
I can’t type right to save my life. If I want Boost it’ll either come up “Voist” or “Boat” depending on whether I tap or glide. (And switching to a private keyboard has made this more of an uphill battle for me.)
You’ve got me dead to rights about forgetting where things are (besides the home screen), which is why I’m glad my launcher of choice has things organized not just in the Apps drawer, but in folders within them.
I appreciate the insight though. Not everybody’s workflow is going to be the same, and needing X apps at a certain distance will affect different people different ways.
I’m not really a fan of “clean” and “minimalist” launchers when they get to the point of impeding my productivity. And keeping a curated list can tap into muscle memory, improving speed further.
For example:
I’ve got 13 apps I can launch with a single tap, 13 more one extra swipe away (unless you count the swipe into my app drawer, which would bring it up to ~32 more).
Just something to keep in mind when looking for a launcher: you might want to find your definition of fast. If KISS works for you, all the more power to you. But I lament the lack of FOSS launchers that are more Nova-esque.
Correct. This is one article that goes over a multi-hop VPN that’s sort of relevant regarding how you, as somebody in the middle of this process, would not see what is being relayed even if you’re closer to the end-user.
(Obviously this isn’t quite as far as Tor goes, but at least it explores the principle.)
All you need is a web browser running Snowflake to help people connect to Tor!
gives us the choice to either pay that or to pay with targeted ads,
Facebook never offered that choice. The only options were
How long until that sort of thing goes the way of Bibliogram/Barinsta?
Discord communities are inherently gated, Lemmy ones intentionally have everything publicly exposed. A better comparison would be between Discord and Matrix rooms, where privacy expectations could potentially vary tremendously.
In the US there are several laws about providing abortions to women. If one such group existed on Discord, it could be used by legal, extralegal, and extremist interests to target those women.
Trans people just aren’t official targets of legal discrimination…
…Well, not across every US state.
…Not yet, at least.
That phrase is more often used as a post-hoc justification for harm, or to gloat, than as a legitimate warning.
Depending how deep you are into using the service, this might be an indicator to start shopping around for other options, as there are some that provide multiple domains and unlimited aliases for the cool price of $0 versus whatever Proton charges you…
…Especially if iCloud makes the other side of the equation difficult.
