  • How Apple’s iOS 26 and Google’s Android 16 Will Change Our Phones

    Jump

  • hardware and software are extremely mature

    And that's a good thing, perhaps except for tinkering purposes. I have to rely on my phone for several things throughout the day, sometimes more than I'd like to, so the last thing I need is bugs introduced just for the sake of changing things.

  • AI is great for confidently wasting your time.

  • I am not familiar with either Alan Watts or Stephen Chboski. But I searched that quote and didn’t find any reliable information about who said it: DDG produces only 2 results; Google produces a handful more, most of which are it being used on Facebook/Instagram/Twitter, and one being a Reddit post on an Alan Watts–related community in which the users don’t think it belongs to him.

    So, yes, it gave you the wrong source, but if the source is unknown or obscure to being with, that’s hardly surprising. It can summarise and refactor text, not produce information out of the blue.

  • Google is shutting down Android Instant Apps over ‘low’ usage

    Jump

  • Does anyone know an example of an instant app? I’d like to see what this is before it gets shut down.

  • uBlockOrigin is porting uBOL to iOS and macOS

    Jump

  • If you buy from a reputable seller with a good free return policy, at worst you'll have to send the device back. If you have access to a credit card or PayPal, it's a good idea to use them, in case the seller becomes unresponsive.

  • I'm making a guide to Pocket alternatives: getoffpocket.com

    Jump

  • Your entry for Omnivore says the link to the hosted version is broken. That's because it shut down at the end of last year.

    It was a good option for read-it-later, whereas most of the of the bookmarking self-hosted apps seems more focused on saving and sorting links.

  • I'm making a guide to Pocket alternatives: getoffpocket.com

    Jump

  • Is it good for read-it-later functionality, for example to read from a phone without online connectivity?

  • What is your favorite domain name provider, and why?

    Jump

  • Cloudflare works really well and has a good UI. Namecheap also works well, but it takes more clicks to adjust DNS records.

  • Automate Generating WireGuard Config without Managing Existing Installation

    Jump

  • Sure, it's possible. I could do it by hand, but the more clients you want to add, the more cumbersome the process. What I'd like is a tool to automate what is mostly a templating process.

    Automate Generating WireGuard Config without Managing Existing Installation

  • Lag/stuttering on Google Maps?

    Jump

  • For me, this has been the case for years, at least on Windows and Linux. It happens mostly on Maps, but also on Docs/Sheets, and to a lesser extent on GMail.

    I use Firefox, but I have never had the same experience with it as those who claim it's just as fast as Chrome.

  • Windows mail app other than Thunderbird?

    Jump

  • I have not, but from screenshots it seems only a minor reskin.

  • Windows mail app other than Thunderbird?

    Jump

  • There was a Linux client I saw a while ago—Spring Mail or something like that?—which first downloaded your email from your provider onto their own servers, then your local client got them from their server. This additional cloud step is what I want to avoid.

  • [Req] Show Downvotes Separately

    Jump

  • Yes, I mean in the main feed.

  • Microsoft Finally Realizes Nobody Wants Its Windows 11 Preinstalled Bloatware

    Jump

  • Yeah, having the option is not a bad thing. Nothing changes for those who use the apps or want them there, but it lets people remove them if that's what they want.

  • I was assigned to MLM project in work, have some questions

    Jump

  • Thank you for sharing this story. I've recently watched this video on MLMs and it describes exactly the kind of situations your mom found herself in. I thought these MLM schemes were bad before, but I had no idea just how horrible they actually are...

  • Which privacy-focused search engine are you using?

    Jump

  • Do you find DDG to be slower than Bing or Google? A few years ago I thought there was a noticeable delay with DDG, but not with Google.

  • Connect 1.0.113 Released

    Jump

  • Thanks! I have no idea how I hadn't tried that before! 😅

  • Connect 1.0.113 Released

    Jump

  • Hi. Thanks for the release. It's excellent and I'm really enjoying using Connect!

    Here are a couple of small requests from a compact layout user:

    • Would it be possible to add dividers between posts in compact layout? Currently there is a lot of text and little visual separation.
    • Would you consider adding an option to move the thumbnails to the right?

    And here are a couple of minor issues I've noticed:

    Thanks again for your work.

  • Where should I store my Backup/Recovery codes

    Jump

  • Just keep in mind that sd cards can also stop working. I would encourage you to keep at least two separate copies, ideally one on a different medium than an SD card, and check regularly that you can still access the codes. A backup is only as useful as it is easy to restore.
