Same. The UI is pretty good and modern, they support TOPT and cards as well and the development is being done at a good pace.

The ads Google must have personalised for you based on that would have been interesting. But everyone on Lemmy uses ad blockers so you prolly wouldn’t even have noticed xD

I only played via Steam so I wouldn’t know. I hear it’s a good deal, but I’ve made it a point to not accept such good deals from BigTech. Have gotten screwed over too many times. Remember when Google Photos allowed unlimited storage?

Ah old days… I used to boot into Windows 10 just for gaming but when Valve’s Proton matured to the point that all my games could work on Linux I very happily nuked it out of existence. But yeah if someone plays Fortnite or needs Adobe products then you still can’t do much unfortunately.

Great list! One suggestion: Try Helium’s OpenBoard fork for keyboard. It has tons of features like full Material You theming, glide typing, multilingual language support as well as autocorrect and suggestion support. I’ve been waiting for autocorrect to be added in FlorisBoard for more than an year now.

I wonder if you can install their android app using WayDroid and then run 1080p/4k streams.

Prolly not worth the effort considering they’re treating linux users like shit, they don’t deserve our money.

They should add login and subscription handling on their website as well like so many do, with 30% off on the subscription fee because there’d be no Google tax.

Damn I should have pushed harder when that incident with WhatsApp was all over the news. Only a few of my friends and a couple of family members switched.

No end to the greed of these corporations.

Currently costs peanuts in India (have some good friends over there 🥸) and there’s no password sharing crackdown yet. Comes down to $2 per person on the highest plan. As long as this continues, I’ll stay subbed to Netflix.

On iOS, unlike Android, Firefox doesn’t come with extensions. No ads are blocked. Even if I use Safari and Adguard extension, it doesn’t block YouTube ads. Brave works like a charm in this regard. I’ve opted out of all telemetry stuff that I could find, and btw even Firefox opts into everything by default. Any other open source browser you can suggest that blocks ads including YouTube on iOS?

Thanks to EU, you’ll be able to contact these people on WhatsApp without using WhatsApp.

They need to noobify that prompt further, something like “Yes, break my system!”. Even Linus wouldn’t fall for that (I hope)!

Rookie numbers. Between Reddit, Twitter and Lemmy, I’m at 50+ right now.

Check out Fluent Reader, it’s the best looking and the most featureful RSS reader I know of on Linux. Does have a common view as well.

I was shocked when my friend from India told me that for 400 Mbps up and down, he pays only $14/month. Limit: 3.3 TB per month.

Yeah it’s not on F-Droid so word of mouth it is!

It’s not on F-Droid, likely because the swipe implementation that they’ve injected doesn’t have an OSS license. There’s a whole discussion on it in this thread. There’s no privacy issue here as the fork also doesn’t have network permissions or anything, but I can see why they’d be skeptical adding this piece of code to the main repo which has a proper FOSS license.
