what are you looking for in the upcoming year(s) for osm?

My biggest wish is that there’s an easy way to contribute images to wikimedia and to link them easily with osm. As soon as that’s possible, we’ll map the world much quicker and more reliable. Someone might take pictures of benches and another one will add the info if there’s a backrest from home.

when will be your last time to vote for the "lesser of two evils"?

When will be your “this is the last fucking time I’m voting for the ‘lesser of two evils’, then I don’t care after that, let this country burn to the ground”? For me, this is basically it. This is last election I’m going for that " lesser of two evils" bullshit. After that I’m done. It’s just pointless. Let’s...

Before I choosing not to vote, I would vote for someone I think deserves the vote most even if the chances of them winning are practically 0.

I went through switching recently. Anytime you log in somewhere I would change the email of that account, and integrate it i to a password manager while being at it.

Bit by bit you become more independant from Gmail.

As a bonus I also started using a service like AddyMail or SimpleLogin, so that I have different emails for different accounts. Quite easy to use.

So you are telling me that you found the idea of using disposable plastic wrap instead of reusable zipbags revolutionairy? Huh, seems like a step back to me.

I know that they have a negligible impact. Still going from something reusable to something disposable seems like a step back to me.

As it says also in your quote, they just don’t share IP and search term together. More detailed description from www.ecosia.org/privacy under “What data do you share with search results providers?”.

For example, when searching for “tree” on Ecosia we forward the following information to our partner, Bing: IP address (to a separate fraud detection server, so your search term and IP address are never sent to the same server), meta-data on your device that is necessary for the result like screen size, search term, and some settings like your country and language setting.

MetaGer for me, run by a non profit and you can choose to pay for search results to be ad-free and get more search options.

I will just leave this comment from a discussion about Brave. feddit.de/comment/2798144

Gnorv,
@Gnorv@feddit.de avatar

It was not only about privacy but also about ‘[…]tons of implementation details[…]’ as said in the comment I linked above.

Vivaldi and the people behind it can be as privacy focused as they want, they still ship the product of a giant ad company as long as it is still chromium based. And therefore they support that companys monopoly on the browser market.

Gnorv,
@Gnorv@feddit.de avatar

I mostly agree with you about wanting to use a browser that is ‘[…] secure, privacy-respecting […] innovative […] caters to needs’ etc, however I disagree that using Firefox amounts to a lost philosophical battle. I also disagree that you can simply fork chromium if Google decides to implement harmful features.

Since Chromium is dominating the browser market, most (web)developers do only take chromium compatibility into account, making other alternatives less attractive. This leads to more domination of Chromium, making people dependant on its use. Most people will not bother with looking at other Chromium browsers and will just use Chrome as they are already doing today.

At that point, Google, who contributes the most code to Chromium by far, can implement any number of harmful but profitable features into the project. Downstream browser makers would then be required to maintain their own fork if they do not want to incorporate these features, which I am not confident is economically viable.

So I do not quite understand why privacy- and monopoly-conscious people today opt for a Chromium based browser while there are perfectly good alternatives that are not primarily based on the product of a giant (ad) company like Google.

How to make a phone secure for children without using "Spyware"?

Many parent control apps are more like Spyware and are often also exactly that, Spyware which spy on your Kids. Or Google Family Link is also a great example which you can’t remove even if you want too (as parent). I already setup a non-child-friendly blocking DNS and set the Age Limit in the Google Play Store and did all the...

Ghostery browser and android?

I was looking at browsers in the Play store and saw the Ghostery browser. It’s now apparently based on Firefox, and I assume the Ghostery (plugin/extension) functionality is built in. Does it protect privacy better than other browsers and is it worth trying out? I currently use Firefox on android but I detest it’s UI...

There are quite a few public servers that have bridges implemented. Sadly the official server list does not say which of them has bridges but just check the websites of some and pick one you like.

Gnorv,
@Gnorv@feddit.de avatar

It is indeed matrix bridges.

As I mentioned above there are also public matrix servers offering this.

The experience is a bit less seamless and fewer chat apps are supported, typically only the most popular ones like WhatsApp/Signal/Telegram.

I had the same behaviour, I played everything with mouse and keyboard. Dead Cells, Assassins Creed, Sekiro, Dark Souls, etc. Then with Elden Ring I gave the controller a try just to see how it is, and it worked flawlessly. I think it is just about with what you to a game first.

I convinced my brother to move from Win10 to Fedora and he had a mostly seamless experience.

Only problems he encountered were with GTA V online play, offline worked but he could not go online, and with game modding. On Windows he used vortex mod manager which did not work for him with the Lutris install script.

Why do you do it this way instead of using the heroic launcher?
