    Any one used Kloak yet ?

  • Or, you know, you could just use a web of trust. Like money IRL works.

  • What problem does it solve where? It’s an immutable data ledger. It solves trustless interactions.

    Ah, so, like Git with signed commits. Got it. 🙃

  • Aber Achtung: es kann sein, dass da nicht alles drin ist, was auf dem Handy ist. Ein vollständiges Backup geht glaube ich technisch noch nicht.

  • Weird, I kind of support Iran now. These companies dying would be good for the world.

  • Foss Phone?

    Jump

  • Yeah but what problem does it solve here? I don't hate crypto in spite of it being FOSS, I hate it because greedy capitalists do harm with it and I don't have any value from it.

  • With uBlock Origin you can see how many ads are blocked, just not as widget on your homescreen or something. Did you install that?

    How much slower do you think firefox/fennec is than Brave? Maybe you can tell the devs specifics if the site is slow on desktop Firefox aswell.

  • Yep, so you can't actually know if the recording is destroyed, it's just contractually required to be destroyed. Big difference in my book.

    Wished these sensitive audios would be processed locally and never leave the therapist's network instead.

  • They're not wrong on everything, you know. While you're right on many things, you're still as effected by Eastern propaganda as @T00l_shed@lemmy.world is effected by Western propaganda.

    The truth is somewhere in the middle. Can't say who's more right in this case as you're both just pissing at each other. Citing fractal wrongness means you can't admit that you might be wrong, making you annoying to discuss with and unlikely to sway opinions instead of hardening your naysayers.

    Try empathy, introspective and shifting perspectives for once. Sad that you still haven't changed half a year after I was first annoyed by your unnecessarily smug and bloated "discussion" style. Hope you'll grow wiser and more likeable when you're an old fuck like me.

  • a streak on tiktok is a number that goes up the more you talk, I know, it’s pretty stupid

    Whatever floats your boat. I care about the content of messages, not the number going up. Even more so, I prefer IRL interactions to digital ones.

    I don't think I'd appreciate ranking my friends by number, but interesting food for thought – imagine a regular chat app telling you the frequency of messages per day, so you can be fair dividing your attention to all your friends 🤔

  • You’ll probably think the reason is stupid, but I’m not really down to use Firefox mainly because I think their interface is terrible.

    No, that's fine. Probably a trade-off between usability and philosophy at this point. You actually nearly succeeded in having me try brave but it's not in F-Droid repositories, so I didn't.

    There’s also the fact that most of the money Mozilla makes comes from Google, and I don’t really feel good using a product from a company that’s basically propped up by Google

    Pretty sure Brave wouldn't exist without Google money either. They're not independent from Google if they didn't code their browser from scratch, IMHO.

    Fennec

    Basically FOSS build of mobile firefox. If you tried FF, no need to try Fennec.

    the only people who are 100% ethical all the time are trust fund babies or fools

    idk how one could be ethical as trust fund baby, who by definition gets funded by the patriarchy and capitalism.

    Obviously I'm not operating 100% ethical either, but my goal isn't 100% but whatever percentage is more than what I did last year.

    For example, in 2012 I had 70 Amazon orders. In 2021 I actually managed to get it down to 0. Recently I kinda relapsed but at least it's less than 20 for 2025, I'm striving to get back down to 0 again. Morally perfect? Certainly not. But I'm trying.

    What I'm saying is, I'm doing this based on the browser's makers' vibes, and the article confirms that other people than myself have the same focus on the same issues as me. I just didn't wamt to list them all in a lemmy post.

    And my bad if any of my comments came off as rude or like I was trying to offend anyone, that wasn’t my intention.

    Thank you! Your clarification made me feel better interacting with you regardless of intention :)

  • For me firefox, or rather fennec, runs really well. What issues do you have? Maybe open a bug report after checking if others have similar problems. Maybe your specific performance issues can be fixed by someone with programming socks?

  • earn crypto

    Telltale sign of a completely non-shady browser right there! AI and cryptobros never did anything to hurt FOSS or the world in general, so it's fine! Consume product!

    You wanted to have suggestions about what to make better. Why do you use Brave instead of Firefox/Fennec? You can easily install uBlock Origin in the latter and also browse the web without ads and without shady side-features you don't use anyway.

    Brave is a Chromium fork and Chromium is bad for browser diversity. Supporting another browser is "more FOSS friendly" I'd say. That was your initial question, wasn't it?

    I found this article which explains really well why I personally wouldn't use Brave based on morals and "vibes": https://thelibre.news/no-really-dont-use-brave/

    It's a philosophical question. If you don't see it that way and don't care, continue to use Brave. But why ask for other's opinions to then dunk on them? Why do we need to prove to you Brave is bad when you asked for our opinion? It's OK for you to have a different opinion.
