This might sound weird, but Apple. I was NEVER disappointed by any of the products I bought. Sure, they are fucking expensive. Sure, they sometimes release really dumb products that most people probably shouldn’t buy (e.g. the 2015 MacBook). But if you make all the right considerations before your purchase, I’m pretty sure you will have a product that won’t disappoint you. At least that’s been my experience so far. That doesn’t mean that I’m perfectly happy with everything, for example I’m trying to switch away from an iPhone (I will definitely keep using macOS laptops/desktops though) for privacy reasons. I wasn’t really disappointed here, when I bought this phone, I knew what I was getting myself into, but Google isn’t much better.

Proton for secure email/calendar/whatever they offer now. I’ve been a subscriber to their paid plan for years, really happy so far.

I think we should spread this message and the guide in other communities or on other platforms. I don’t think posting this in the Firefox community will achieve much.

Darknet Diaries is just amazing, it’s always really interesting, I never get bored

The Lockdown is a pretty good podcast about digital (and physical) privacy and security

The Privacy, Security, and OSINT Show by Michael Bazzell @ inteltechniques.com was really great, but they took it down last year. Fortunately there is still a torrent of the full archive of the show floating around: https://lemmings.world/post/11120738

The Ask Noah Show is all about Linux and open source software

Basically everything produced by Jupiter Broadcasting is just awesome, including Linux Unplugged and Self-Hosted

Linux Matters can also sometimes have really good content (Here’s their Mastodon profile: https://ubuntu.social/@linuxmatters)

Brodie Robertson’s Tech over Tea (I’m sorry I don’t have a better way to link to it than Apple Podcasts)

The Linux Experiment’s weekly Linux & open source news podcast (which you can also follow from the Fediverse btw, Castopod is just an awesome piece of software)

Subnautica can be played together using the Nitrox mod

Oh man, I just looked up the Xperia Z4 and noticed that it’s like 10 years old. Can’t say that I’m surprised that there are basically no ROMs.

I don’t recommend installing random builds from forums like XDA. GrapheneOS definitely doesn’t have an official version for anything other than Pixels, you might want to try LineageOS if you want to throw the tablet out anyway

macOS doesn’t support some basic ways of rendering text and colors. I see iTerm as strictly necessary if you are serious about using the Terminal on a Mac.

Don’t let this misleading Wired article fearmonger you. I recommend this thread, which provides some nuance to this drama: https://grapheneos.social/@GrapheneOS/112967805820394815

It’s only compatible with modern Pixel devices, so unless you’re old tablet is a Google Pixel Tablet, you can’t install it anyway. But the installer is super easy to use (if you have a compatible device). It’s literally all in your web browser.

It seems like you’re using the standard macOS Terminal. It has all kinds of issues with many terminal applications. I recommend switching to iTerm2. You can install it with a simple brew install --cask iterm2

The GrapheneOS guys also explained why this isn’t nearly as bad as it sounds, and how Wired is simply fearmongering: https://grapheneos.social/@GrapheneOS/112967309987371034

The story isn’t nearly as dramatic as it seems. Maybe this thread can offer some nuance: https://grapheneos.social/@GrapheneOS/112967309987371034

Is this a badly worded paragraph, but is uBlock Origin really using remotely hosted code? I thought it was a different restriction in manifest V3 that stops as blockers being effective.

I think it kinda is badly worded, and it refers to code/data that is dynamically loaded by an extension, after it’s installed by the user, which uBlock Origin does use for filter lists. They can’t be bundled with the extension, because they get out of date really quickly and often need to get updated, so uBlock Origin just downloads a new blocklist and saves it in its cache. MV3 wants to prohibit this, making adblockers almost useless. Updating the extension every time there is an update to one of uBlock’s many blocklists just isn’t feasible. I think they can also hold back updates to the extension in the Chrome Web Store, which they might to if a blocklist starts to include something Google doesn’t like (e.g. YouTube ads). All of this is just a shitshow and people should switch to better browsers with actual API compatibility for purposes like adblocking. The best examples are Firefox and LibreWolf.

I think that’s because KDE has just reimplemented it to work on Wayland, but it’s not there by default. This is a feature of X.

I also have Caps Lock als Ctrl, but I leave Cmd where it is by default, and I just disable the Ctrl key.

Some terminals use weird combinations like Shift + Insert, which is ridiculous, because it requires me to take my right hand off the mouse to hit the insert key

I appreciate this

I’m pretty happy with this solution
