Windows bloat sucks. I wish Microsoft gave you the option to just install the components/features you’re likely to use. That way you could have an agile, minimal custom installation like you do in Arch.

soyboy77@lemmy.mlto Privacy@lemmy.ml•Like many others, I’ve been looking into internet browsers lately. This guy has put together a pretty extensive comparison: pctips.com/best-browsers1·3 months agoGood article. I use Brave on desktop and android. I like that the adblocking is baked in. I still have to add my favourite addons but that’s the beauty of personalization.
Quick question: is the Tor browsing functionality in Brave adequate or should I just stick to the official Tor browser in that regard?
soyboy77@lemmy.mlto Open Source@lemmy.ml•SealNotes: Secure, Lightweight Encrypted Notepad for Privacy2·5 months agoSo it’s basically the same as protectedtext.com
On a related note: does anybody think that Nostr will ever gain real traction? Promising project, I try it again every other month but it’s still pretty rough…
Also: the fact that Dorsey has funded it and is a fan concerns me.
soyboy77@lemmy.mlOPto Open Source@lemmy.ml•Is there a FOSS In Case of Emergency (ICE) app?6·7 months agoMost phones allow you to make emergency calls from from the lockscreen. I wouldn’t bother with an app if my xiaomi phone allowed me to have text info on the lockscreen. Not just medical info but also "if found pls contact - "
soyboy77@lemmy.mlOPto Open Source@lemmy.ml•Is there a FOSS In Case of Emergency (ICE) app?4·7 months agoI have this installed already. Might come in handy during the zombie apocalypse :)

soyboy77@lemmy.mlOPto Open Source@lemmy.ml•Is there a FOSS In Case of Emergency (ICE) app?3·7 months agoI used to do this but I’d prefer to have medical aid details, blood type and contacts accessible from lock screen.
soyboy77@lemmy.mlto Privacy@lemmy.ml•Zen Browser | Privacy focused, open-source, Firefox Fork3·9 months agoI love options but does anybody else wish devs would put their heads together and focus on improving ONE app rather than launch a millon similar forks?
Betterbird is good, not really minimalist but worth a try…
Really liking Vivaldi so far. The baked in adblocking and encrypted syncing is neat. Everybody also always recommends Brave as “good out of the box” where you can use it straight away without any tinkering…
Hey, who wouldn’t want a custom console like this courtesy of their kids. :) Better this than them storing tater tots in the disk drive.
Cancelling and/or doxxing everybody even slightly opposed to the party line will become commonplace.
Speaking your mind out in the open requires bravery I sadly do not possess…
soyboy77@lemmy.mlto Privacy@lemmy.ml•The official chat room for a privacy community is discord?7·2 years agoRevolt is supposed to be a privacy-focused alternative to Discord. Haven’t used it myself. Is it promising? Will it ever gain traction?
soyboy77@lemmy.mlto Anime@lemmy.ml•What are you watching? What are your thoughts about it?2·2 years agoAll caught up! The Hashiras are awesome! All of them have really interesting personalities/backstories/motivations. Never judge a book: I thought Sound Hashira was going to be lame based soley on his design but he’s actually amazing. I like how he was the only one able to “walk it off” after last season’s climactic battle.
And Mist Hashira soloing an Upper Rank? Goosebumps…
What the anime does well is how it makes you feel sympathy for (most of) the demons. They really are wretched creatures who were just unlucky in life.
The Muzan/Michael Jackson thing is hilarious too imho but it seems like they’re toning it down this season…
soyboy77@lemmy.mlto Anime@lemmy.ml•What are you watching? What are your thoughts about it?3·2 years agoI didn’t even know Demon Slayer had started again. Thanx!
soyboy77@lemmy.mlto Anime@lemmy.ml•What are you watching? What are your thoughts about it?4·2 years agoHell’s Paradise. I’m loving it.

Have you tried Pearltrees?
