Privacy@lemmy.ml•New Advertisement and Internet connection permissions for Simple SMS Messenger on Google Play Store...
1·2 years agoI agree that F-Droid is great!
What I usually do is to buy the pro version on Google Play and install it later on F-Droid.
On the other hand I don’t see anything wrong for non tech people to install FOSS apps from the Play Store. The apps are still FOSS

Linux@lemmy.ml•Where, and when, did you start using Linux? Where are you now?
2·2 years agoStartet using Linux in 1999. Then I did a lot of distro hopping:
- Redhat
- Suse Linux
- Gentoo
- Sabayon Linux
- Debian
- Kdenlive
- Arch
- Ubuntu Studio
- Fedora
- Fedora Silverblue
- since 2017 NixOS
NixOS feels very contemporary and will stay a while. It is very advanced and usable in many diverse environments. In the past I did learn a lot installing and maintaining Debian and Arch – which has a great community.

DACH - jetzt auf feddit.org@feddit.de•Grüne Jugend will Privatjets von deutschen Flughäfen verbannenDeutsch
20·2 years agoIch wünschte, die grüne Jugend hätte was zu sagen.
Im Ernst: Die Schlagzeile ist mir zu reißerisch und unterstützt das Bilden von Vorurteilen.

Technology•Say "goodbye" to cookies and cookie banners with vanilla FirefoxEnglish
20·2 years agoAccording to Mozilla setting both to the value 1 is the better idea. The fallback then won’t be “Accept all”.

Open Source@lemmy.ml•Are there any browsers similar to LibreWolf for mobile and Android?English
1·2 years agoIn fact Mull is an hardened based on the same source code as Firefox. It has similar fingerprint protection like Brave.
Different to Brave is as well as it has not a Tor connection implemented.
Although I do not understand the mentioned concerns against Tor.

Free and Open Source Software•Do we allow sillier content around here?English
3·2 years agoNice that you ask. Personally I don’t like silly content in a tech community but I don’t mind it.

Free and Open Source Software•What are some tiny, lightweight apps for Linux that are really neat?English
6·2 years agoOr the even faster successor gojq.
I always wondered why Google took this choice. With the help of this article I understand now.
RSS ist still not dead but many commercial websites and platforms are not interested in this because it is harder to monetize.
Although the advantages are obvious. An RSS feed is much more accessible in many ways. It is most times better readable, sortable, offline savable and more efficient to get. What is even better for the environment because a with scripts and external content overloaded web page has a much higher carbon fingerprint.
Google Reader died and so ATOM/RSS will because the lack of commercial success.
Wow, that’s a long post with many learnings I recognize again.
Just last week I was reading in Nix Pills and read that Nix is made for POSIX which Fish is unfortunately not.
Glad that you took the time to write all your experiences and solutions down.

Android@lemmy.ml•Microsoft Launcher crashed on my phone, erased all my settings and won't start again. What launcher are you using and why do you recommend it?

Linux@lemmy.ml•Hybrid approach to account for both beginners and power users in desktops.English
1·2 years agoNot that I want to convince anybody and just it is mot said already:
One working approach is Home Manager which is working not just with NixOS but even with macOS.
OK, writing a config file is not an easy solution for real beginners but for a little advanced.

Free and Open Source Software•Platform for suggesting FOSS ideas to developers?English
1·2 years agoSounds like a good approach.

Free and Open Source Software•Platform for suggesting FOSS ideas to developers?English
14·2 years agoHonestly the best way would be to start coding by yourself. While trying to find solutions you might find the right people too.
Almost every dev has its own ideas and ideals. There is no lack of ideas but everytime a big lack of time and men power. Software developers have more too much on the plate then too less.
So sharing ideas is nice but contributing is gold.
I would call it the FOSS Dev Paradox.

Foot is the fastest and I use it as default. Second is Kitty because it uses GPU acceleration.
