Looks like they want free data to improve their image generation for hand gestures.

The launcher can have internet access and spy on you. So avoid sketchy ones from Play Store, stick to foss ones. Just check if it got internet access.

Bliss should be good like the one used by GOS.

That’s the launcher. There are a lot of launchers and some of them mimic iOS. You can choose which to use, as OP as chose Kiss launcher. /e/OS ships the Bliss Launcher.

gtk and libadwaita stuff actually looks better on kde

What? How?

Controversial choices made by devs against most userbase mostly in the name of semplicity at the cost of usability.

Lately they’ve updated Nautilus’s “open with” menu, which was working fine, to libadwaita and now it lacks search, so I must scroll through a long list of apps. Or other stuff like that which breaks retro-compatibility like no one cares (why do I need extensions and a custom theme by a random dude to make gtk3 not look alien next to gtk4?). Poor extensions developers must convert their extensions every six months.

I’m still on it because I like its apps’ UX and Plasma still feels unpolished. But I think that’s just a matter of time, given how things are going on.

I don’t understand why a lot of websites go long ways into getting country from IP and then language from country instead of using directly the language reported by browser.

Why not using donations to take them to court? Sue them and give money back to OG projects.

I don’t see any popup with ublock origin. Anyway, inside the description, I linked the OG youtube video referenced in the article.

Qwant (french) got its own indexing.

Edit: the linked article isn’t about search engines but big tech companies.

I also get stuff from there and inject trackers list took from github. If something gots peers then it must be good enough to download

It’s a live experiment. How much a platform can enshittify before people leave? We are still going to find it out.

By not having Google Play Services, isn’t this prevented?

If you turn off notification history on Android, should be enough to avoid such “attacks”. Hiding sensitive content inside notifications only hides it in the lock screen. If your OS keeps a clear log of them, it’s useless.

Edit: didn’t know Signal actually has settings to hide their own notifications. I was thinking about Android’s “hide sensitive content” setting.

Worst timing for sure

Still better than Discord, I guess

LibreFind

And they’re also giving away stuff for free to kids to learn computing

Ageless Linux is important because they’re doing activism. They say they want to distribute devices made to not follow Californian law for free to kids. That’s why it’s important, not just because it’s a distro. As a distro is near to useless.

I know this is mostly a meme, but I think it’s important to clarify this.

would bring a lot of users to better alternatives.

Most users of whatsapp don’t care about e2e. They hardly even know what it is.

For case fans, with an msi mobo, I had to install some nct drivers from a githib repo.

So if you can’t still control them with CoolerControl, try to lookup for “linux {motherboard name} sensors”.
