“It’s not censorship, it’s counter-disinformation measures!! 1!”

The “truly private” req really smells with “I have no threat model and don’t know what am I doing”

Phones don’t provide the same experience as an e-reader with e-ink. The best option, IMO, is to get an e-reader that allows sideloading and works without Internet connection, so you can read books about the high seas.

What is that supposed to mean? Is it a reference to something?

Privacy and programming communities. I tried to stay at Windows at first, but when I was bith recommended GNU/Linux for privacy and had to use it for programming, I knew I couldn’t keep the resistance up.

Three years later and I have 0 regrets. All games I play work, except for, recently, TF2 because of a weird malloc library issue on Arch-based systems. All apps I need just work, and whenever I need something Windows-only I have a VM setup just for that. Developing and managing your system on a Unix-like system is just so much easier.

The system (the os files to be precise) is only mutable by package manager for specific tasks like updating. It can break certain workflows if the user wants to change system files, because they can’t.

Bonuses from that are security and reproducibility. You can be sure that whatever package you have will look and behave exactly the same as on another device with the same OS. Malware won’t be able to mess around with your OS so trivially as it does on mutable distros.

Excuse me, did you even read what you have linked? The first link literally explains the privacy policy of “the NewPipe’s” website.

Also, what the fuck is even newpipe.app? https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipe The GH repo as well as the F-Droid release all link to newpipe.net and I couldn’t find any reference to the .app website there.

I love all of the minimalist options here, they are so cute!

And that’s why you need punctuation kids.

itsfoss.com is awful

I’ve been using Youtube Music with a custom front end (Innertune app) lately and it’s a decent compromise between piracy and paying for a good streaming service — everything is free, it is streamed, I have an access to a huge library of music and the only downside is that the songs might have poorer quality

Same on LineageOS. Force stopping the app and starting it again helps, but it will pop up again in some time. Helps if you find it annoying though.

It does because it’s code you have to take into account when adding new features. Basically unnecessary pain in the ass.

Have you even been following what images AI can generate now? Every work is original, it doesn’t just copy and paste pixels.

Asking the question here allows a conversation to happen, informs others that SearXNG is a thing and provides additional context.

…and all of that is provided in the searx repo, which I linked and, which, as I have said, is easily searchable.

Note that I have never said that asking questions should not be allowed, you made that up.

Yes, it is no longer maintained.

I don’t like to be the “let me google that for you” guy, but this information is searchible in under 30 seconds. There is no point in asking it as a question on a forum

Neither Matrix nor XMPP are software, those are protocols. Alsp, there is no point in specifying that XMPP is encrypted without doing the same for Matrix, since you can exchange plain text messages there too.
