Well written! I’ve had a similar experience with a habit tracking app. I’ve once stopped using it and after getting back to it after a year or so, it was so much worse with so many new pay walled limitations. An open source habit tracker on the other hand stayed the same for years and was even improved further. If you’re inrerested: Loop Habit Tracker https://f-droid.org/packages/org.isoron.uhabits/

It allows using reddit with my VPN (Mullvad) turned on. I don’t know why reddit offers such a workaround, but it works for me

Gave it a second try :)

Life Hack: Replace the ‘www’ part from the URL with ‘sh’. For example: replace

www.reddit.com/post1/...

with

sh.reddit.com/post1/...

It should be easy to write a script that replaces these URLs. This allows using reddit with my VPN (Mullvad) turned on. I don’t know why reddit offers such a workaround, but it works for me.

No problems on discuss.tchncs.de

Thanks, I’ll take a look at these

Oh right, I think I stumbled upon this issue as well. Have you checked if you’ve received any E-Mail? I didn’t know the account got suspended until I checked my mails

When I cleaning up my instagram account I wanted to delete all bookmarks. There was no button for “delete all”, so I also looked for a script. Then my account got suspended for like 2 weeks because its against their TOS to give such tools access to my account…

Use hashtags that fit to your posting and that are used/followed often. I for example follow some hashtags that fit my interest and see postings of people I don’t know. When I created my first posting I used only three of these hashtags and quickly had some favourites and shares. Also try to be active in the comments, they are the places where people can find you easily.

https://www.kuketz-blog.de/grapheneos-der-goldstandard-unter-den-android-roms-custom-roms-teil7/ This author made a series about custom roms (unfortunately only in German, but Firefox has a built in translation function) where he tested what data was sent in the first 24 hours of using the custom roms without installing any new apps or changing the settings. To summarize it: Most custom roms still build up a connection to some Google server (like a SUPL server for example) and some custom roms have rather bad security practices (like waiting for a month before rolling out security updates). GrapheneOS is the only custom rom that doesn’t connect to any google servers and has exceptional security (even better than Stock Android).

Well I used to use it when I was still using normal Android. When I open Vanadium I get greeted with the last page I visited and I get distracted from that, so a search widget helps me.

Today I learned that Vanadium has a search widget, so thanks for the post :D

Unfortunately I’m experiencing the same thing :( Not too big of a deal for me to do manual updates once every two weeks or so but still an annoyance

New Google Pixels come with 7 years of security updates and 7 major Android updates. With GrapheneOS you generally geht all AOSP updates. https://grapheneos.org/faq#recommended-devices After that GrapheneOS offers 3 years of harm reduction updates https://grapheneos.org/faq#device-lifetime New Samsung devices (like the S24) also come with 7 years of security updates + 7 Android Version updates.

Creating memes…

I think if Fairphones get GrapheneOS support, it would be a no brainer for many. A phone you can repair yourself, which is fairly produced, with the safety and the absence of Google from GrapheneOS would be a good combo

I really like that UI compared to Invidous’ Are these videos proxied, so will my IP address be known to Google?

I’m generally willing to pay for a service (I donate to Open Source Projects I regularly use) because of course there are server costs, development costs, etc. But in this case and after all that Reddit has done to its user base it would be a very bad signal to give them money for it… I like Infinity for reddit and would love to have an Infinity for Lemmy
