That camera bump looks awful

Pixels are arguably the most private android since you only get Google tracking. With other androids you get Google tracking on top of all the other tracking

I think an important step to making Lemmy more popular is making sure it actually shows up in search engines. I don’t know enough to say how though

Tutanota is kind of a protonmail competitor but it’s been years since I looked into it idk how they’re doing

Wow excuse my zoomer language but… Who asked?

Kagi pays Google for search results to supplement its index so it will keep reddit results as long as Google lets them

Firefox is funded by Google and Meta, but its still better than being directly made by Google. There isn’t a single good browser right now.

I’ve never bothered to set up an emulator on my phone but it’s a great idea, any recommendations in particular?

Damn you reminded me to check my gmail and there was a domain renewal reminder, thanks!

If there’s no getting started section I usually go on GitHub to see how other projects use the library or API.

Reading the API docs with no prior knowledge or context is hard unless they’re very well written.

Did this in university in the very first week, quite a few people dropped out after that 😅

Updated, my bad.

There are reasons to use this service that are completely legal. They should sentence the people laundering money, not the people providing privacy tools that happen to be misused.

I pirate a bunch of VSTs from audionews.org. It’s private but they give away 10 invites a day in their telegram. You should be fine just pirating stuff older than a few weeks by trusted groups like R2R since malware will get taken down (if it gets detected). Personally I think the risk is tolerable but it’s obviously never 0.

I don’t know what NowTV is but sometimes you can bypass restrictions like this by using an extension that switches your user agent to chrome on windows.

All the rest: Yeah… It sucks… Most of these issues would be solved if enough people used Linux to make porting stuff a worthwhile investment. It’s a chicken and egg problem but I’m hopeful with the ongoing enshittification of Windows. Surely one day enough people will be tired of eating shit and finally stop doing it.

It’s a step in the right direction
