It’s invite only now?

I wonder if it’s only happening on KDE? Either way, I’m sure it needs to be corrected.

That sucks and they need to fix it. Still out hasn’t happened here yet. Are you on Gnome desktop environment?

I never have to launch twice on flatpak.

And I only keep conversations for 2 to 4 weeks so starting over doesn’t bother me. Sorry if that doesn’t work for you too.

I love Signal and use it with my family which is the majority of my messaging. But I was surprised to find out the rest of my family on iPhone are missing features I have on Android. This doesn’t help bring the iPhone users.

That would suck

🤷

But does it do state too?

Speaking of dark patterns, anyone use TurboTax lately?

I use an adblocking DNS plus UBO on Firefox

I’m not a fan of Meta and I don’t want to join Threads. But there may be some people over there I would like to follow. At least on Mastodon, we can block any instance we choose to manually. I hate when instances make the decision for me.

Defederation should be a last resort when there are so many options here for people to tailor their own feeds.

Forgetting politics, I liked Brave. But sometimes they do seem a little shady. I’m loving Librewolf even more, though there’s no Android version. It does sync with Firefox and Mull though.

Sync works great over here. It even syncs history which is great because I use an extension on the laptop to limit history to 28 days and that becomes synced with Android without an additional extension.

On mobile I only use New Pipe for videos. Admittedly, I don’t do much YouTube but I haven’t noticed any problems on my laptop.

It is my default. I use ublock and Dark Background Light Text extensions. And the reader view is better than any chromium phone browser.

Much like librewolf, my favorite desktop browser

I don’t think Windows is suitable as a daily driver for most people’s personal computers. For some business seeking MS support… maybe.

not here either

I use Firefox and DDG on my Pixel but I do keep a small Google option for those (usually location based} particular searches

Other launchers are better anyway. But it does become another big step for those that never leave defaults.
