exactly this, I’ll use it when it works with no questions asked. I.e: when it becomes invisible to me as an enduser

as for now, it isn’t, far from it

fucking what synergy doesn’t work on Wayland? welp. I use that daily and no, that’s not optional, its rather critical for my setup

which part of “no negotiations possible” do you not get?

I would like a more granular choice, acccessibility is not something I can give up, I don’t care sites can fingerprint me with it

resist fingerprinting resets zoom levels because its used as a way to fingerprint, sites can get zoom levels and the idea is to blend into the crowd

that said, I share your frustration, I have to disable Resist Fingerprint because of that, the persistent zoom levels are an accessibility requirement for me, no negotiations possible.

Ideally Resist Fingerprinting would allow for more granular options because while I understand the “blending into the crowd” aspect of the option as it is now, it just doesn’t work like this for me and many others with accessibility needs, and that should be addressed

(also replying so I remember to check back for replies, sorry for the ramble, Resist Fingerprinting as it is now annoys me)

that is not true, at least in mastodon’s case. Mastodon has unlisted, followers only and direct messages those are visible for the instance admins if your account federates to them. That is concerning. I don’t need Zuck to suck up my private posts

I think people should know those are just mutes

its like that on mastodon too, user domain blocks won’t actually protect you from harassment or your data being vacuumed

omg quickpic

a blast from the past that I forgot about

he is selling his app suite to a comany known to ruin apps with trackers and ads, making the simple mobile tools suite no longer simple, but just another app in the ocean of crap. Also he likely violated liscences doing so

he could have at least sold to a better company, and considered the wishes of his fellow contributers as he have should according to his liscence

fuck

I’m not a she but otherwise yes I agree

for the end user, that is irrelevant

all of these arguments are great and all but as an enduser: I just want things to work

I don’t care about the why’s or hows. A lot of these arguments explain and justify breakage

I am an enduser. I expect things to work, specifically I expect the programs I already use to continue working. I expect to lose no functionality

If they don’t work, then clearly its broken. If I lose functionality, Wayland clearly wasn’t ready

this is useful and good to know, thank you

will help me decide what to go for

so in other words you need the sandbox if you want access to what microg would normally provide for you, with the caveat that an account is “optional” for things that “require” one, which in a normal google environment is almost everything and with mirog is pretty much nothing

sounds like microg is the better deal then, if I want to avoid google accounts and Google’s snooping

I’m looking to buy a new phone soon, can you use GrapheneOS without a google account? because playservices is generally account locked right?

I use a trackball mouse for disability reasons. I have to actively slow my cursor movement to a crawl and deliberately slowly click each square otherwise I fail captcha’s

it’s infuriating

a big collection of art courses that I downloaded before it got dmca’d off the internet. Nowadays as I understand it, the collection is around but usually distributed in pieces on request if someone happens to have it. Many courses got lost (or are only on cgpeers which I do not have access to so idk)

I use simple calendar pro (which is free on fdroid) and it just has a full calendar view as a widget. with one column per weekday and one row per week. The widget is called calendar monthly

edit: ah heck I seem to have misread, sorry! Leaving it up in case anyone else finds it useful

there are youtube frontends and apps that proxy videos anonymously so you can’t be tracked at all

I use freetube on desktop there’s also libretube and newpipe on android

what search engines are actually good these days?

because that’s the problem, they aren’t

search results have gone down a sharp hill lately

I don’t think Kagi is the answer, but there is a problem - a big one
