Second this, Syncthing rocks. Only ever have rare, minor problems in day-to-day use

I’ve been wondering lately how effective a service would be that takes your credentials for a service, such as YouTube, and starts engaging with content at random so that the data the service has on you is all junk

Don’t know how meaningful something like this would even be, but if all these companies are gonna try so hard to collect data on me then I’d rather fill that data with useless junk

opens new tab

the verdict “misunderstands services that are critical to the security, performance, and reliability of Android devices.”

Ummmm maybe I’m misunderstanding but how on earth is opening a new tab critical to security and performance?

It could very well be, I’m not familiar with this product at all. It does come to my attention that the statue of liberty’s torch is the most prominent visual element on the page; combined with the block of text and the name of the phone itself I could definitely see where the poster is coming from, it gives off a nationalist air despite it being fairly reserved/neutral in its visual language. It kinda makes me think the purism name was no coincidence but I’d like to think otherwise

The URL being puri.sm was what I noticed first

It’s strange to think about how complicit the public has become with this. You mean to tell me that 185 separate connections to other companies are required for me to… read an article?

I’m not very well read on this so I could very well be off-base, but couldn’t you leverage the heat as a means to desalinate saltwater instead of using freshwater and letting it evaporate into the atmosphere?

The thing that’s mostly wrong with AI summaries is that people don’t click through to the page the summary summarizes. So those sites don’t get ad revenue.

Don’t ad blockers have a similar effect?

Those damn corners weren’t round enough yet, thanks Apple designers👍

I’m a designer and I never thought of how it influences typos, that’s a neat tidbit

Gif compression definitely makes it look more believable, I remember falling for this the first time I saw it

Also doors and gates

They may also have concluded that the public finds a humanoid robot more acceptable than those cube 4-wheeled robots that never took off that people like to tip and kick over and stuff

Might be a silly question, but is YouTube TV considered a part of YouTube here?

Sadly, using small niche VPNs that might be more trusted makes you stand out more.

This probably doesn’t matter does it? Because being spotted as a mulvad, airvpn, etc user doesn’t make you more of a target for anything.

I’m just taking a stab at this since I’m not entirely certain, but I would think that this would weaken you against fingerprinting since it depends on having many different semi-unique characteristics as you browse?

Yeah I’ve only used Inkscape a little bit but I would not categorize it as a program that can quickly be picked up

Don’t ever see a whole lot of casual WoT references lol

Interesting how college educated Americans switched sides over time

I’ve always seen Blender as a 3D art tool but never as a precise 3D engineering tool. Didn’t even know Blender had CAD features

Nice

I’ve gradually been switching over. The UI is somewhat confusing in my experience- but the MSO UX+UI is consistently getting much, much worse as time passes
