qweertz @programming.dev run-of-the-mill transfem, ie. tech-savy geek and queer disaster (yes, I also hate capitalism and have a general interest in social sciences)
The mental gymnastics in this one lol
usually used or refurbished devices are from ppl who would have bought it anyway (be it for their private or business use) and decided to buy new/different phones (for whatever reason).
I'm not talking about resellers who buy new devices and just, well, resell them. But about pre-used ones.
tl;dr: your money does not go to Google and the ppl you get it from would have purchased it anyway. The device just ends up in your hands instead of the land fill or being recycled
The option of buying used or refurbished seems to be incomprehensible to some for whatever reason...
I'm so glad the project isn't stale, thank you devs! I have been using Voyager the last few months but nothing is quite on the lvl of Eternity
(and tbh Voyager feels too iOS-y for me)
seems like a good middle ground tbh. No cryptocurrency will ever reach the adoption of fiat. This could make online transactions that would otherwise be made over your creditcard, bank or insert fintech like Paypal quite a bit better
And I'd rather have this than a "digital Euro" or "digital Yuan"
Librewolf is also available as a Flatpak
before I set up and try out 5 different apps, I thought that I'd get some opinions first
Help me pick one of the habit trackers available through F-Droid?

I am having some trouble in picking one of the habit trackers available on F-Droid/Izzy-on-droid. Which one would you recommend or maybe you know another good free/libre one (from other repos or sources in general)?
The ones in my scope thus far are:
TimePlanner has also caught my eye but it seems to be quite a bit more than a simple habit tracker
What's the difference between Accrescent and Obtainium?
please get that proprietary bing frontend out of here
Those are such "mask off" moments imo
The best being "want documentation? join our discord", which makes me absolutely livid.
Using discord as a wannabe forum, wiki and matrix chat replacement rly goes to show that for the core dev(s), "open source" just means a development model
hosted exclusively on youtube, make that make sense
It makes perfect sense, since it's open source and not free/libre we are talking about. Open source doesn't care about the philosophy or political movement behind free software. It's an opportunistic appeal to corporations, advertising "open source" as just a more efficient development model
It has no large community nor an organization behind it.
Leading to a lot of trouble for me personally, it's the 2nd month now (after multiple updates) that my Gnome wayland desktop hasn't been working properly at all (like xwayland programmes displaying as a blank transparency, me not being able to start certain ones) and switching to X11 works but it's buggy af and sometimes freezes for a few second
I suspect that it has been a problem with the nvidia driver after having updated it and I have never had those problems before
Don't get me wrong Glorious Eggroll is doing good work but qa (due to size) leaves smth do be desired
I regret ever having switched to the amateur distro that is Nobara bc I was too lazy to set up Feodra a 2nd time after the Grub fiasco Arch (and thus my daily driver back then EndeavourOS) had lol
Will switch the second OpenSuSe Slowroll becomes stable
Google is a tech giant, which abuses peoples privacy with every click
Their phones enable users to (at least partially) escape that bs
that's what I found to be ironic
this is an article from (imo) one of the best privacy/security tech-blogs out there
it's in German, but you can probably run it through Firefox local translate

I literally mentioned Calyx and Divest OS as alternatives which support non-google devices
also how is buying a used Pixel and degoogling it to the max with GrapheneOS (with reasonable compromises like optional sandboxed GMS) helping Google?
Didn't know that cutting their mal-/spyware out, and trying to avoid them and their services wherever possible actually helped them, silly me 🤷♀️
(I assume this to be the standard way for most ppl and plan on doing that as well once my current Huawei phone breaks)
please learn to read before insulting other ppl with your less-than-a-day-old account lol
From their FAQ it's great and covers a lot of questions better than I ever could):
What is AdNauseam's performance like? Will it speed up or slow down my browsing? AdNauseam is significantly faster (and safer) than using either of the two most popular blockers, Adblock or Adblock Plus, and nearly twice as fast as using no blocker at all. Metrics with more browsers and adblockers on the way...
It is ironic, but that's the best you can get in terms of security on Android, which is why GrapheneOS supports nothing else
